SOME HUGE SPECIMENS
OF TERRELL PRODUCTS
Mr. E. B. Priest is the champion
cabbage grower of Terrell county.
He brought to The News on Fri
day a specimen of his crop weigh
ing 12 pounds. Since the above was
written a 14-pound cabbage, grown
by Charlie Chester, a well-known
negrd farmer, has been on exhibi
tion at the store of the Cocke-Brim
Grocery Co. ———
MONSTER STRAWBERRY
Dr. J. G. Dean has on exhibition
at the Collier Drug Co’s. store a
strawberry of such unusual size it
amounts to a freak. The fruit is
well-formed and very tempting in
its rich red coloring, and measures
fully two inches across.
Of all absurd things it is to have
vegetables and fruits shipped into
local markets from other sections,
when they can be grown here to
perfection at small cost.
RESOLUTION BY GRAND JURY
IS MERELY TO MAKE LEGAL
CERTAIN LEVIES.
The grand jury, at its recent ses
sion, by resolution authorized a levy
of additional taxes for general county
purposes not to exceed 50 per cent of
the state tax, which is fixed: by the
constitution at five mills, There has
always been some question as to the
methods of levying tdkes for general
county purposes, and ‘the resolution
was necessary in order to adjust and
make certain’ and legal the method
used.
The grand jury acted upon the ad
vice of the attorneys for the county,
and were assured by the county com
missioners that there would be no in
crease in the tax rate, which has been
fifteen mills for the last two years.
Terrell county issto be congratulat
ed that its tax rate has been kept
much below that of some other coun
ties, and that there will be no in
crease this year.

O SRR R
- WHOOPING COUGH.
This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paregoric,
codiene or other opiate is given is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Most people believe
that it must run its course, not know
ing that the time is very much short
ened, and that there is little danger
from the disease when this remedy is
given, It has been used in many epi
demics of whooping, cough, with pro
nouncd success. It 18 safe and pleas
ant to take.—adv. k

mense gathering at a big barbecue

political differences, put factionalism
