fact that little more than three

have a railroad, it is no wonder
that developments are so sub-

is in our judgment what the peo-
ple of Crosby County will do in
making¥ city that .will furnish
all in ope the market, the trade
center and the County Seat.
Pallas, Aug. 18. — Master Com-
missioner William H. Flippen of
Dallas has set Thursday, Sept. 1&
1910, as the day for the sale of
the International & Great North
ern1 and all of its properties. The
sale will be held at noon in the
city of Palestine,
By order of the United States
circuit court at Dallas on May 10,
1910, foreclosing the mortgage
on the road, the master commis-
time and the manner of the sale
without farther notice from the
court, at public auction, "with-
out valuation, appraisement, re-
demption of extension and with
all the muniments of title."
The sale is the result of the
litigation in the Federal courts

Trust Co.,' trustee; George :£

The records show that half the
citizenship of Crosby County
own property in Crosbyton, a
condition that we doubt, if alike
condition prevails in any County
in the State of Texas. This is
responsible for the rapid develop-
ment in town'and country, and
it Will make for us one of the
best counties, 4 in all the Pan-
handle, as wet!, as a creditable
town. Backed by the people-a,
town can " boast of a steady
growth, a substantial develop-
ment, and a loyal support on all
sides, It is tb" the advantage of
ejery class to build a tov/n of
great proportions, for it does
two things th&t aid every one,
and especially; the farmer, viz:
1st.' It jcreates a trading point
that will savejjrou great percent
over the country store in making
your purchases, it gives you
large stocks to select from, and
assures you what you want and
saves the trouble of sending to
the mail order house ffr any
thing you care to purchase..
2nd. It furnishes you a mar-
ket fjor everting- you raise on
farn^*Kke ' garden or
pasture, and guarantees you ,a
good price, whereas the country
village has its market overrun
when you bririgin twenty pounds
of butter or ten dozen eggs,
much less the many other things
that you raise that you cannot
sell in a country store.
For these two reasons if no
other, it will pay every man in
Crosby county to join hands u ith
his neighbor and friend and help
iri the buildingf at Crosby ton of
one of the best towns in all the
land. Now is the time to do,
and be doing, for Crosbyton will
have the railroad in the next

The question of County Seat,
is in the minds of this people at
this time and right it should be,
it should he settled no \V and for-
ever, at the polls on the 17th day
of Sept., and if the people will
consider weir and do themselves
justice we are satisfied with the
results. Do yourself justice!
Well, most people"will do them-
selves justice, and in this case all
we have to consider ^ justice to
all, and to each individual to
forever settle this question. \
If you want a market within
a few hours driv^of your farm,
do wh^t you can tqt develop-
ments, and when the develop-
ments! come,1 the markets Will
come, and for these reasons we
consider that We had better have
a good town With |j^~ trading
point and with a mwket for HI
than have four small towns in
the county furnishing none of
these advan tages. If we are
wrong we are willing to say that
we are not invincible; but this

Why he Advertises.
A prbminent business man of
Michigan explains why he adver-
tises and why he uses newspa-
pers for that purpose as follow#';
"I advertise in the newspapers
because 1 am not ashamed of my
goods or my work, end let peo-
ple know about myself, my store
and my stock; because I cater to
the intellegent classes and they
read the papers, and I believejn
increasing my business; because
I can talk to more people through
the newspapers at a greater dis-
tance and more reasonable price
thari in any Other way"; because
my newspaper advertising has
brought me greater returns for
the least expenditure of any ad-
vertising I have ever done; be-
cause when I write an advertise-
ment, I am not too stingy to
pay for placing it in the best
possible medium, or to have it
inserted so as to have it attrac-
tive;because I know my ad is
seen and read by every one in
the house where the paper goes."

He was at Carlesbad for his
health. Death Was - caused by

A letter was received Monday
from Mr. Hurley, written at
Carlesbad in which he stated
that ha had been examined by

physfciaris and Was foundrto have
no organic trouble.
His death, therefore, was en-
tirely unexpected'and came as a
great shock to his friends arid co-
wSfkers. Men gathered in the
corridors of the general office of
the system here and wept like
children, for no man in the Santa
Fe employ was do generally
loved.
Mr. Hurley was born in Wap-
ello, Iowa, in 1860. and entered
the service of the Santa Fe as a
brakeman in 1880." \ ''
He leaves a widow and two
children. Mr?. Hurley and; her
