Shortly afteir the" townsite was
recorded, a vote of the people re-

moved from Emma to Crosbyton,
apd although opposition to the
change was strenuous, contrary
feeling has disappeared and all
are working'in hearty co-opera-

cordial reception to all visitors
being only one ofathe many points
in evidence.
