Be Sure to Come Out.
The newly organized Terrell Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce is meeting
With enthusiastic endorsement and
substantial encouragement.
The executive committee has been
busy several days soliciting men,
berships ami subscriptions and are
having unexpected success, and 1t
means that live commercial club
. viii soon ne at work in this section.
This committee is composed of the
following gentlemen: o. T. Kenyon,
j. A. Shields, Glenn E. Rainey, Geo.
G. Riley, j. G. Dean, w. ]. Mathis
and NJ. J. Yeomans of Dawson, O.
G. Crawford of Sasser, G. NJ. Gam
mage of Brentwood, H. A. Cook of
Parrot, C. NJ. Harris of Herod and
c. S. Lee of Doverel.
Terrell county has never gone
backward, but heretofore it has new
er had the active aid of a commercial
club to push it forward. The field
is fertile, the people are inter
ested, its membership will soon
exceed the expected number, quar-
tiers will be engaged, a paid sec
rotary put on the job at an adequate
salary, and then things will hum. 1t
is a recognized fact that business
generally was better and more salts
factory during the past year than 1t
had been in some time, but our peo-
l. 10 m lbn
ress must be the watchWOrd. Inc
boil weevil is marching onward, 9th
or communities are making prepare
lions to combat it, and Terrell cOun-
ly toes not propose to be left in the
.Lrcb.
II is the opinion of those iden-
tilted with the movement that it Will
pay to secure an experienced and
trained man and put him in charge
OF the affairs Of the club, to work,
of course, under the direction of
and in connection with the executive
committee. Just exactly what it is
proposed to accomplish except to
work generally for the upbuild1ng OF
the county along all lines has not
been laid out. Consultation with the
secretary is essential before deciding
on a definite program, and in order
that the organization may start out
with the benefit of the views of the
people generally a meeting has been
called for Thursday night, Feb. 9TH,
which every member and every citi-
zen of Dawson and Terrell county is
urged to attend.
1t is a we'll known fact that con-
certed, united effort accomplisheS far
more than a spasmOdic effort on the
part of a few now and then, and the
Terrell County Chamber of Com
merce proposes to take hold of all
Iaudable and helpful propositions that
are in any way beneficial, and go af-
ter results in a systematic and or
ganjzeG way.
The cost will be something, it is
true. The more money the organlza-
ton has to spend the more 1t will be
able to accomplish. The people real
ize this, and in most liberal man
ner are responding to the subscrlp-
ton list. Direct results to the 1ndl-
viduaI donor is something that each
one may not see right now, yet all
recognize the fact that the building
UP of the county Of Terrell will be
of benefit to each citizen, no matter
what his line of business may be.
Naturally, Terrell county is fort
unately situated with many advant-
ages, and it is to realize the benefit
of that to which we are justly en-
titled that the commercial club must
constantly be on the lookout. All
of it's membership will boost. Boost
ing when you have something to
boost is an easy proposition, the hab-
it is easily. acquired, and once ac-
quired is not easily shaken off. All
we have to do is to put our shoulder
to the wheel for a time and it Will
then become a fixed habit.
Boost the club, join the club, do
nate to the club if you are able, but
if you are not able to donate join
any how. It should have a member
ship countrywide, and it is up to
each man in the county to join.
Just how much money is obliged
to be raised it is not now possible
to say. 1t is not a question of how
little it can run with, but how much
can be used to the best advantage.
See the committee and have your
name recorded. We are awake at
last. and we want enough live ones
to get into active membership to see
to it that the Terrell County Cham
Der of Commerce will never go to
