MONSTER SWEET POTATOES
GROW IN TERRELL COUNTY

Terrell is noted as a county in
which agricultural crops of all kinds
are grown abundantly, but no crops,
perhaps, can be grown with better
success than sweet potatoes.
The News has frequently made
note of large yields of tubers, and it
is the size of some, perhaps the larg-
est ever grown in the county, that
now furnishes an item.
We were presented Saturday with
two potatoes grown on the farm of
Messrs. Lang, Pickett and Saville,
near Doverel, that weighed 9 1-2 and
6 pounds respectively. They were
whoppers in the true sense, and the
larger one looked like a peck meas
ure.
These gentlemen have sold 1T 1-2
bushels of potatoes from a half acre
of ground, realizing S1.0O per bushel
for them.

METHODISTS TO HOLD
LAST CONFERENCE

PERINTENDENT TOMORROW
NIGHT-PASTOR TO REPORT.

The last quarterly meeting for the
conference year will be held tomor-
row "wednesday night at the Meth
odist church, and not only the men
of the congregation but the women
as well are cordially invited and ex-
pected. Beside the election of Sun
day school superintendent and q
board of stewards for the ensuing
year many other matters of import
ance and interest are to be consid-
cred looking to the welfare of the
church. The pastor. Rev. T. H.
thompson, will be prepared to give
fine report of the years work. He
has looked after the highest inter
ests of the church vigilantly and with
ability, his systematic and progress
sive methods showing up well in the
rounding out of the years work. The
finances are pretty we'll in hand with
out public collections, but the best
service rendered by this faithful pas
tor has been the high ideals in things
spiritual which he has by precept and
example held before the people. It is
earnestly hoped and confidently ex-
pected that he will be returned to
Dawson. At this important session in
all probability the presiding elder,
Rev. o. B. Chester. will be unable to
preside owing to a recent attack of
Influenza, which is a matter of gen.
eral regret. Fortunately he has dill
lgently carried forward the work of
the district the entire year and there
