Noah Harding And H. B. Herd
Return From Trip To
Model City.
11. -;l ^
"There is all sorts of joy reign-
ing in Post City notfj* said Noah
Harming, Vice president of the
Fort Worth National "bank, and
turned from a ten days'*. visit to
the breakfast food magnatic in
his model city. ' 'As ares^lt of
the three inches of rain that has
just blessed that section, we were
detained two or three days longer
than we had anticipated because
-of the inability of the automobiles
to get us baik to the railroad,
"And~the prospect of being re-
lieved of having to travel seventy-
five miles to a railroad is the
-other source of satisfactionjthere.

Mr Post has succeededTn induc-
ing the Santa Feofficals to extend
their cut-off from Texico to Cole-
man by way of Post
bock, Snyder, and other towns of
that section* and President Ripley
has assured him that he will be
runnint? trains into Post City by
Jan. 1 1910.
"Mr. Post is making good in
his efforts to establish a model
city and bids fair to be as success-
ful as a city builder as he is al-
ready as a manufacturer..
"There are many interesting
about Post City, but none more
so than the waterworks system.!
The large concrete reservoir, j
filled with artesian water and sit- i
uated on ,iher slope of the Cap
Rock, 200 feet above the city,
furnishes a powerful waterpres-
'gure. It is covered over by rub-
beroid that prevents trash and
filth from entering, and it furn-
ishes ample ventilation at- the
same time to prevent stagnation.
The reservoir can be enlarged as
the demands of the cicy increase.
"Mr. Post is operating an ex-
perimental farm near the city
that has already demonstrated
the resources of that section.
Corn, milo maize, kaffir corn,
Cotton,"alfalfa, peanuts and all
sorts of fruit have been grown
successfully and are being farmed
on a larger scale from year to
year. Whilethe fruit trees are
hot old enough to bear extensive-
ly, they have grown well and
give promise of good yields.
Verily, tiiis is goodly country
and will be beard from in the
future."—Fort Worth Reoord.

no adequate effort to escape.
He merely looked around at the

The Trade Review of Dallas,
was so kind as to reproduce the
Silver Falls, in their last issue,
and make a nice mention as to
what the falls meant to Crosby-
ton and^Crosby county.
The various papers that were
represented at the Federation
meeting on the 8th, and 9th, have
been very liberal in mentions,
and write-ups about Crosbyton
and Crosby county.'2 Thanks.

Be a game oner
If all men don't treat you fair,
Don't go wasting in despair.
But be canny—have a care,
Like a good one.
When you open up a store,
Have a good one. l~i „
Stock good lines and nothing more,
Like a gogd one.
When you figure out the cost,
Don't let quality be lost,
Else you'll find your trade is bossed,
By a good one. - • * ~-
What They Thought in 1828
The school board at Lancaster,
Ohio!, in 1828 refused to permit
the school house to.be used, for
the discission of the question
whether railroads were practical.
ReplyinW to the request the
school poard said: "You are
welcome to use the school house
to debatfe all proper questions in,
but sucn things as railroads and
telegraphs are impossibilities and
rank infidelity. There Isliothing
in the word of God about them.
If God had designed that his in-
telligent creatures should travel
at the frightful speed of fifteen
miles an hour ly steam, he would
have clearly foretold to his holy
prophets. It is a device of Satan
to lead immortal' souls down to
hell!"- 4-
