Editor Review.—
I would like to offer the new:
" . .. . • ►. ■' ' ' ■•TZ*
Comers to Crost y county a bit
of advis^. It is this. ^ If you
afc thKiting of coming here I
advise you'not to build on any
public road leading to Crosbyt6n
for since they have, got up that
big town lot excitement over
there, and them big fellows are
going over in their automobiles.
Now! everybody knows "old
gray" is the beat Jftorse in Cros-
by ccjnty. and when he sees an
automobile he goes out of his
hide, and I cant doa thing with
friftt; and ho dnn't more than[
get out of one spell till here
comes another automobile going
to Crosbyton. ^ It just tickles 'em
big fellows to see \ "old> gray"
cdt capers, they think a horse
ought to be a thi/iur of the past
bj^ti tell you right now, I would
notgive "oM gaby" for any' au-
tomobile I ever s^en.
I know .it* s "awful nice tp, be
on the big road, where you can
get your mail twice a day and
op a telephone line where you
can talk to both sides of the
.world at,once, but if you have
X-horse like-r,old gray" don't
build on a public road leading
