Local and Personal
J. W. Bradford, of the firm of
Soward & Bradford, of Peters-
burg, was in Crosby ton Saturday.
S. M; Walker of the Fairview
community wjys in the city Satur-
day and says that everything in
his neighborhood is looking fine;
Valmer Williams and Willie D.
Hires have accepted positions at
the Review office.
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce of Lub-
bock were honored quests at the
home of Mr. and JMrs. N. H.
White, Monday night. . '
Frank Edwards handed us $2
this week and told us to keep
the Review going to Josenh Aus-
mus and B. Edwards, at Speed-
ville, Tenn. Who's next?
Ewing Lawson, handed us a
wheel this week to move his
sister, Mrs. Bertha Everly, of
Mobeetie, Texas, up^antJtHer
r$tch. And who's next?
i.. r.^V. D." Petzel, Dr. Stoops,
Frank Edwards, J. C. Johnson,
and others attended the Masonic
Lodge at Emma last Saturday
night. y
Mr. T. H. Ballowe, was a caller
at our office this week and hand-*
ed us $3.00, one for his Review
this year, another for the Review
to go to Capt. J. C. McNeill at
Victoria Texas and the other for
a card in the Review which he
uses to sell some fine Plymouth
Rock cocks. If you need a fine
young cock to head your flock of
chickens this year get it of Mr.
Ballowe.
Barney. Johnson came in from
Spur, Friday evening. He says
Spur, is doing greater things
every week. Mr. Johnson is
very optomistip as to the future
of Crosbyton. He says things
certainly look favorable for us
"right now.
Mr. M. G. Easter of near Fair-
view was in Crosbyton Saturday
and handed us $1.50 for which
he gets the Review one year, and
his brother J. T. Easter, of Itasca
Texas gets the Review s i x
months. Mr. Easter says he is
well pleased with the plains
country and would much prefer
it to. east Texas.
Mr. J. A. Freeman, was down
town last Saturday and invited
the editor to be a guest at his
farm north of town the last of
the week when the big plow will
be breaking 20 acres per day
with the packer and harrows
following. Now that's what we
call farming when a man can pre-
pare 20 acres per day and have it
in a pulverized state. We will
possibly have morelo tell you
about the great plow next week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Johnson
returned from Amarillo Thurs-
day of last week. Mr. Johnson
is manager of the Crosbyton
Supply Store and has been in the
markets purchasing goods, and
he also bought a car of red oats,
rust proof, a big shipment of
fine soft wheat for spring plant-
ing, seed maize and corn, kaffir
corn, etc. Mr. Johnson is wide
awake to the needs of the county
and we would be glad to see
every seed he bought planted.
Spring wheat should be the
thing in the minds of the farm-
ers at this time and several thou-
sand acres should be planted in
the Crosbyton country.

Moses As a Journalist
Moses was the first editor, and
he was as yellow as envy and as
poisonous with his pen as the
green grapes of Prosperine.
Walter Williams, Dean of the
School of Journalism of the Mis-
souri university, says so. This
is not all. Luke was the first
reporter, too, and a top-notcher,
according to Dean Williams.
Our learned and pious friend, the
dean, tells us that in a single
slight book of five which Moses
edited, a book the contents of
whicjh would not occupy a half
page in today's newspapers,
Moses, the first great editor,
gav#*more criminal news and
that more graphically than to-
day's newspapers would dare re-
port—the disobedience of Adam;
the drunkenness of Noah; the
falsehoods of Abraham; the in-
iquity of the whole city of Sodom
the vileness of Shechem; the son
of Hamori; the wickedness of
Pudah with Tamar, the woman
in black who sat by the roadside.
Mosefc scooped all his contempo-
raries and he had a great run on
raw material which is called "hot
stuff" by modern editors. He
was fond of sensational news
and never turned down a good
item—human interest stories,
the boys call 'em. Moses was a
famous lawgiver, as well as the
first yellow journalist. All ad-
vanced editors, following the
footsteps of Moses, and willing
to hand out the law without res-
ervation, as well as the news of
the day. Hats off to Moses who
blazed the way and also to Luke,
who set the pace for star report-
ers, in all ages-to come after him.

About Right
Having abandoned one peniten-
tiary and substituted therefore
a convict camp it may be said
that Texas is progressing in
prison reform very rapidly^

A first-class Cotton Gin is in operation on the Crosby County tract.
Hogs thrive and are free from disease.
This range includes the Silver falls in White River, fed by never failing
springs. Thirteen million gallons of water flow over these falls every day.
Over five-sixths of these lands are on the plains; are very fertile and yield
abundantly a variety of crops in addition to natural grasses, including a heavy
iod of mesquite.
The soil, a strong chocolate loam, varies but little from four feet in depth and
overlies the water, carrying "Blanco beds" of clay, shale, lime and sand
stone. There is abundance of pure water underlying this locality; wells aver-
vage about two hundred feet in depth, and in these the water rises thirty to
sixty feet.
Write to or visit us; you will be welcome and well entertained at Crosbyton,
where you can at your leisure investigate every feature of the property.
