a town without a papej: is a dead
town. A soi*ry diaper is a good
reflection of a sorry town, so
therefore help us to make a bet-

and a better Crosby county the
coming oear. This (lean |ie done
by ©ur Subscribers paying up, by
boosting the, paper and by trying
to add another subscriber to Our
mailing list. Will you help us?
This is an age of great bus-
iness activity, and the business
man who fails to advertise grad-
ually becomes a back number,
while the steady advertiser grad-
ually forges to the front. We can
prove this right here in Crosby-
ton ,by pointing oufecertain firms

over the advertising columns of
the paper. In fact get in the
habit of reading the a,ds, and
then do business with those who
advertise. Often you will find
genuine bargains in this way,
besdes an advertiser, as a rule,
is a more progressive citizen anc
a better man to deal with
We wish to again thank these
of our subscribers who have paid
up and renewed and urge others
to do likewise by the first of
January if they possibly can, for
we have a big note, to try to pay
off at that time, and every little
amount will help us reach the
goal. Following is a list of those
who liaVe remembered us with
Cash on subscription since our
last report, and we hope to have
your nime on our next honor roll.

Made a Big BIistake.
The fast approach of winter
finds much cotton in the fields all
over Crosby county still unpicked
and we are predicting there will
be cotton in the field up to next
planting time. The farmers 'are
the salt of the earth and when
they prosper we all prosper; and
likewise, when they fail we- all
suffer in like proportion, There
are no better class of citizenship
anywhere on the face of the
gfehe^hafr^r^h^rarmerrof
this great wester conntry, and
we are glad they are on the road
to prosperity,. for they desere it;
They are to be greatly admired
for their pluck and staying qual-
itie^and ability to revive again
so soon after weathering through
two of the dryest .years this
country has ever known. If-they
can get another year or two like
this One they will be in the
swim. However, they made one
glaring mistake this fall that
we hope they will remember and
guard .against repeating soon.
