Ben F. Allen went to Estacado last
Saturday, when he went to bid for the
c-W school house there. The building
was finally bought by a Mr. Fullin-
gim, of Lorenzo, who has a force of
men at work this week razing' the
old building which has been standing
for many years. Before, being used
as a school it was the court house of
Crosby County, Estacado being the
first county seat of that county. The
court house was later moved-to~Emma
and then to Crosbyton where it will
probably remain.
With the razing of the building one
of the landmarks ofthis section of the
country disappears, and it is not ne-
cessary to tell most people of this
neighborhood that Estacado is one of J but that of Davis is to be added,

cne of the five greatest Americans,
according to Dr. W. P. Horn presi-
dent of the college, who was here Sat-
urday on business with the Comptrol-
ler's Department. ,
Under the arrangement reached in
the matter, the bust of Jeffersor
Davis, president ^of the Confederate
States, is to be given a place of hon-

This does not mean, however, that-the

of a large college. With the removal
of this building ,however, the last ves-
tige of Estacado's former glory-as. a
town disappears.
The new school house which will-
take the place of the old one is rapid-
ly taking shape. It will be of brick
and concrete and when completed will
be one of the most up-to-date rural
school plants on the plains.—Petets-

The Hall of Fame also includes the
busts of the five greatest Texans
These are: Houston, Austin, Crock

Dr. Horn, said that the college will
open on Oct. 1 with an attendance be-
tween 500 and 1,000 and the formal
opening will be attended with appro-
priate ceremonies participated in by
Dr. Walter Spla&n of the University
of Texas, former President W. B. Biz

In 1909 the wealth and natural ad«
vantages of the Great Plains of Tebc-r
as responded to the demands of a peo«
pie with a visioii and upon the rolling
prairie of Crosb>;-r(2®>uhty thei-e sprung
a little nestle., of frame buildings as a
county site town of one of the great-
est farming belts of Texas.—thaT*
new town was Crosbyton.
Then the cattleman's herd roamed
and the coyote Tett his freedom and
unmolested privileges. With the ad-
vent of new, community "development
the tiller of the soil found the advan-
tages not only the best for cattle rais-
ing, but that mother earth here was
offering special inducement, for pro-
ducing agricultural products.
In 1910 there was 116 bales of cot-
ton ginned in the county and since
that jtime an, increased development
and transformation has taken place.
