The Place to Buy Good
Groceries
Up to the time of going to
press, cotton receipts in the local
yard aggregate 2,740 bales. The
prices ranges up to 22yi, the ten-
dency having been upward for
the week.
As a rule farmers are selling
as they get it out, and the
amount being held by the farm-
ers is far less than usual, and the
buyers are likewise keeping it
moving, as there is less cotton in
the yard now than is the. rule for
this time of the year.
The bulk of the crop is out, as
it is estimated that the receipts
here1 will not exceed 3,500 bal<*s
this season.
Monday's rain slowed up re-
ceipts for this week.
Jubilee Meeting At
Lawson M. E. Church
A jubilee meeting was held' at
Lawson Methodist church Mon-
day night. The occasion for this
jubilee service was the fact that
this ckurch had gone "over the
top" in payment of Rev. Moern-
er's salary.
For a time it was feared that
this would not be possible, but
by heroic and even real sacrifical
efforts on the part of a number
of the Lawson people, it was pos-
sible to be able to report in full.
Rev. Moerner was asked to come
down and enjoy the meeting.
Many were the expressions of
appreciation and kinds words
spoken in behalf of Rev. Moern-
er as his work at Lawson during
the year. There were many
tears shed when some one would
mention a particular incident.
Such spirit of loyalty and co-op-
era tion as the Lawson people
showed is bound to win every
time.

Honored At Party
(Contributed.)
The "dollar party," held at the
Methodist church Monday night,
turned out to be a "praise and
thanksgiving" service for Rev.
O. W. Moerner and his family,
to their utter surprise. A neatly
arranged program was given be-
fore the dollars were brought to
the front table, together with a
rhyme how each one was earned.
Mrs. Frank Cole was in charge
of the first part of the program,
and Mrs. Porter Edgar the latter.
There were many words of
appreciation spoken for Rev.
Moerner and his family and for
the good' work that had been
done. To those he responded
with a few, we,ll-chosen words.
In all, $34.00 was donated that
night, which whole amount was
turned over to Rev. Moerner, to
be applied on his salary. After
this, delightful lunch was served
to about 50 or 60 people. The at-
tendance would have been much
larger, but the inclement weather
kept many away.
Rev. Moerner and family
want to thank the good people
of the church for this spirit of
loyalty to service.
Y. C. Paschall of Dallas, R. 9,

Honor Roll
Do Prompt Paying
Readers Live Longer?
Four years ago, or in 1918, the
Mesquiter offered fifty life sub-
scriptions to the Mesquiter, on
condition that the paper go to
the subscriber the remainder of
his or her life, regardless of how
long they might live, but in case
of death within ten years the pa-
per was to go to some surviving
member ten years from date or
until 1928. ,
These fifty life subscriptions
were taken in a comparatively
short time, and though quite
Rain Is Followed
By Cooler Weather
A light rainfall visited this
section Monday night and Tues-
day morning—the first in several I
months. There was not enough |
of the rain to either replenish
the water supply in cisterns and
ponds or to put a good season in |
the ground for fall grain, but it
abated the dust nuisance.
The rain was followed by
much cooler weather, the nights
being especially cool.

Very Heavy Traffic
On The Scyene Road
With the East Pike closed on
account of road work under con-
struction, and the same thing
true of the Seagoville road,
making detours via Mesquite
necessary, the Scyene road from
Mesquite to Dallas is taking
care of an unusually heavy traf-
fic. This was particularly true
last week, when travel was in-
creased by reason of the State
Fair at Dallas being in progress.
Rev. Moerner Expected
To Be Sent Back Here
Rev. O. W. Moerner, pastor of
the Methodist church, and W. S.
Jobson, lay delegate, left Tues-
day morning in the former's car
for Sherman, to attend the North
Texas Conference of the Meth-
odist church.
This is the annual meeting for
this Conference at which pas-
tors are to be assigned for the
coming year.
Rev. Moerner has only served
the church here for one year.
His church is not only highly
pleased with him, but he has
made many friends in the com-
munity outiidie of his church, and
the general wish is that he be re-
turned to Mesquite. It is believ-
ed that he wjll be sent back to
Mesquite, but nothing definite
will be' known until the Confer-
ence ends and the assignments
e announced. This will likely
be the first of next week.
The Methodist pastor here also
serves the Lawson and Long
Creek churches.

Thus it would appear that these

good insurance policy.
No more life subscriptions are
obtainable, but the thought sug-
gests itself that if there are few-

to the longevity of our subscnb-

Nat Boydson Ended
Life Friday Morning
Nat Boydston, aged 68, com-
mitted suicide by drinking car-
bolic acid at the home of A. W.
Lindsey, where he was staying,
about 7:30 o'clock Friday morn-
ing.
Mr. Boydson had been in poor
health for some time and1 was
not able to do anything except
light chores about the place.
Friday morning, he ate break-
fast with the family as usual but
complained of feeling badly and
went up to his room.
Later Mrs. Lindsey sent her
daughter, Julia, up to his room
with some rich milk for him to
drink, and when she entered the
room he was lying on the bed
but she did not notice anything
especially wrong, but when she
offered him the milk he replied
that he would never need any
more milk. She then noticed the
empty carbolic acid bottle lying
on a chair by his bed and realized
what had happened. She at
once notified her mother and a
physician was summoned, but he
died before the physician reached
there, living not more than thir-
ty minutes after his condition
was discovered.
It was learned afterwards that
he had obtained the carbolic acid
at a local drug store the after-
noon before, offering no expla-
nation, of course, what he want-
ed it for. There were no burns
about his face, as he had succeed-
ed in drinking the acid without
spilling any of it on his lips or
face.
Mr. Boydston had lived in this
section for many years, but was
not generally known, as he went
about but little. He had made
his home for the most pari with
Mr. Lindsey, members of the
Carver family, southwest of
town, and with J. E. Rogers of
Scyene. It is understood that he
had been married but was di-
vorced from his wife, and that
there is a son and daughter liv-
ing, but their whereabouts are
not known.
Funeral services were con-
ducted at the Lindsey home at
3:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon
by Rev. M. O. Falls, and inter-
ment took place at the Carver
family burying ground, south-
west of Mesquite!, where he had
previously expressed a wish to
be buried.
