The Railroad Caused It
The people at our sister city,
Lockney are having wall-eyed-
fits, since they have got the rail-
road. There-iaunot a people in
the land that can more appreciate
the condition they are in than
can we over in the non-railroad
district, for we Jiave had dreams
and night-mares thinking about
the railroad. Now that ^every-
body in Crosby County is inter-
ested it is high time to begin to

ask ourselves what we Will do in f need8 of-4^ di&teic^ 4nd it is
the event that a railroad propo- hoped that he will carry the

jority. Mr. Johnson is „ now
president of the Texas Press As-
sociation, and there is not a more
popular man or a more conscien-
tious man in this district. He is
in every way qualified for the
office and it will be well for the
w£
sition is presented? What will
do? Ask yourself this question
and if you will answer it publicly
the Review would like to publish
your say. Now if there is a
citizen in Crosby County that
would like for the public to know
you want a railroad
please write the statement

the Review, and we will see how
many there are that will be will-
ing to be weighed in the balance.
This is the way to create interest
and if you area land owner, or
non-land owner, just tell us what
you will do. Every irian in the
county can afford to give $1.0$;
per acre Wn his holdings, and the
non-land owner can- afford to
giye $l 00 if every twenty do$
lars worth of stuff he owns. It's
a cinch that the man that does
not own the land will be liberal

State Senator. Mr. Johnson is
