The Railroad.
Who is to profit most b.v .the
rai I road ? Wi thout doubt the
land owners; there can be but
one opinion in regard to this.
Aside from the land owners is
there profit enough to others in
a railroad to warrant the invest-
ment? Not at present, or 'until
developments resulting from a
railroad greatly increase the
business of one. Who will be
mostly benefited by such develop-
ments? Again, the present land
owners. How will such benefits
j be distributed? Largely in pro-
portion to their land holdings.
jThen should contributions be on
I that basis and in that proportion?
| Undoubtedly they should; what
! fairer basis and propositions can
there be? We all know that if

At the Dallas Fair—Both In Per-
son and a Good Exhibit
' Will lie Sent
It is intimated that a second
representation has undertaken a
Crosby County exhibit at the
State Fair.
As Crosby County has been
so long Without an appearance
at the Dallas Pair it may seem
well to have double representa-
tion this year; but to do -this
matter justice is quiie an under-
taking, involving considerable
labor and expense; and it would
seem the best policy to follow
the methods of other counties
and be content with one exhibit
anc} make that to the County's
credit in all respects. Leave
this year in the hands of those
who conceived, arranged for
and have thus far promoted the
enterprise, and next year let
representatives espouse
straightforward one; and the
co-operation, support and con-
tributions of all good people of
Crosby County is invited and will
be appreciated in this enterprise
for the county's advancment.
Great encouragement has been,
extended thus far, indicating a
county-wide interest and support
on the part of its people, and we
feel confident of a fine display
that will do credit to Crosby
County and its resources.
Contributions for display in
this booth that are not of a per-
ishable character should be sent
in not later than September 30th
to The Review office, or to the
Crosby ton Com mercial Club- at
Crosbyton Delecate fruic and
vegetebales for express ship-
ment can bg^sent as late as Oc-
tober 12th4. All contributions
must be packed and shipped
from this ^>oint and should be
plainly-marked with the contri-
butor's name and address.

To avoid misunderstanding,
and that there may not be mis-
apprehension now or in the
future in regard to the arrange-
ments for displaying Crosby
County's products at the State -
Fair in Dallas in October, it
should be known that this enter-
prise was undertaken, has thus
far been conducted and will, it
is hoped, be successfully con-
cluded by. the president—and—
members of the Crosbyton Com-
mercial Club.
As no other person or pfersons ,

not apparent why opposition to

position, if it exists, but in the
absence thus far of other aspir-
ants simply takes upon itself the
responsibility and expense of this

best efforts and facilities will '

of Crosby County. All help and
encouragement will be welcomed
with the highest appreciation.

superintendent arose and instead
of t;he usual dismissal, announced:
"Arid"now, children, let me in-

us a short talk."
Mr. Smith smilingly arose and
after gazing impressively around
the classroom, began with: "I

the whole school was convulsed
to hear a small, thin voice back
in the rear lisp;
