We do not- suppose there has been
since the creation of the world a more
favorable year, all things considered,
than the present has been, so far, in
Terrell county. The seasons have been
all that could be desired. Wo have
had but little sickness, and in every
vase where crops have been properly
cultivated the yield has surpassed the
expectations of the most sanguine.
Nor do we suppose there is any place on
the face of the earth where a farmrs can
reap a greater reward for a small outlay
of labor and capital than right here in
our own county. Our land is worth
three or four dollars per acre, skillful
and industrions farmers have harvested
crops aggregating in value a thousand
dollars or more to the plow. If ours
is not a favored county we have never
seen one. Those who do their own
part here will surely reap a rich reward
and if all understood their business as
a few do this would soon become one of
the richest countries in the world. It
is cheerful to hear so many of our sub
scribers, as they come in to pay the
small sum due the printer, say that
they are out of of debt for the first
time in years. Several have so stated
to us within the past few days, and then
cheerful faces make us glad and hope
ful for the future of our county. We
hear no talk now of moving to Texas
or anywhere else.
Messrs. Rogers & luring
again ask the attention of the trading
public to their fine assortment of Dry
Goods. Their stock of Ready-made
Clothing, Boots, Shoes, etc., is speci
ally complete and fine. They wish us,
also, to call the attention of
all the ladies of the town and
country to their stock of Ladies’
Cloaks. The boys like to wait on
the ladies and are specially prepared
to please them in goods and prices.

The Stepping Stone to Health.
The acquisition of vital energy is the 'step
ping stone to health. When t e svstem
lacks vitality, the va’ions organs flag in
their duty, become chronically irregular, and
disease ia eventually instituted- To pre
veut this unhappy stale of things, the debili
tated system should be built up by the urn
of that inimitable tonic, Hostetler's Stom
ach Sitters which invigorates the digestive
organs, and insures the thcrougti conversion
of food intfi blood of a ceurishing quality,
from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber
acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the
whole sy-tem experiences the beneficial ef
fect. Appetite returns, the system is refresh
ed by healthful slumber, the nerves grow
strong and claim, tlse despondency begot
ten of chronic iudigestion and an uncertain
state of health disappears, and that sallow
appearance of the skin peculiar to habitua
invalids, and persons deficient in vital ener
gv, is replaced by a more becoming tinge.
