Cool Mornings
make good coffee taste better than
ever, especially if you use
GOLD PLUME COFFEE
or
CANOVA COFFEE
A slice off one of our Star hams
also goes mighty well with good
coffee, or perhaps you like Break-
fast Bacon better. If so, we have
it, and sliced if you want it. We
also have boiled ham, readv to
serve if you like it CQld. In fact,
anything and everything you may
need in groceries, you can find
here, as we make it our business
to have what our customers want
when they want it.

Miss Marie Calloway
Was Reported Dead
♦
It was errously repoted here
the first of the week that Miss
Marie Calloway, one of the teach-
ers in the Mesquite High Schoo',
had died at her home at Mineola.
Miss Calloway's father died re-
cently, as was reported in last
week's Mesquiter, and she was
taken ill after she went home,
with Spanish influenza, which
developed into pneumonia, but at
the time she was reported as
having died, she was consider-
ably improved.
Hurry Up, Mr. Mayor
And Pave The Square
It has been said that ''the
darkest tapur is just before the
dawn of day," or words to that
effect. The present condition of
the public square in Mesquite
reminds us of this. It was
necessary, of course, to tear up
the cement street crossings in
order to grade the square, pre-
paratory to paving, but tempor
arily, at least, it leaves it in bad
shape following a rain.
Mayor Lawrence, who has
the matter in charge, has had to
wade in mud just like the rest
of us, and he doubtless sees the
necessity for rushing the work
as much as possible. At least
we hope he does, and that tho
balance of the material, together
with the necessary labor, will be
obtained soon, so that the job
can be finished.
Since the rain, trucks bogging
down in the pudlie square, are
providing amusement for the
populace, as the spetators find it
interesting to watch them dig
them out and them pull them to
firm ground with a pair of mules,
but it is not so interesting to the
truck drivers.

Court Rules Against
State-Wide Pro Law
The Court of Criminal'lJVppeal8
handed down a decision at Aus<
tin Wednesday, holding th€
statutory statewide prohibition
law unconstitutional. The opin-
ion was by Judge Morrow and
was concurred in by Judge Dav-
idson, with Judge Pendergast
dissenting.
The effect of this decision, if
it holds, will be to permit the
re-establisbments of saloons in
territory outside the 10-mile
zozes, as provided in the zone
prohibition Uw, except in such
of the territory that is dry by-
local option.
Attorney General Looney will
fight the decision to a finish, and
gave notice at once of his inten-
tioh to file application for a re-
hearing. Fifteen days are allow
ed for this, and in the mean-
time, no salmons can open until
the application for a rehearing
is denied or acted upon and the
decision m-ide final.
Mrs. Robert Berry

Robert Berry, U. S. N.( brief
mention of whose death was
made in our last issue, was

Mrs. Berry, who was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Han by, was born at the family
home, just north of town, Octo-
ber 9, 1899, and she was there-
fore just a little more than nine-

death.
She was married to Robert
Berry, son of Mrs. M. A. Berry,

months, but her last serious ill-

able to be up the first of last
week.
As soon as her condition be.
came serious, a message was
sent to her husband at Norfolk,
Va. This message was sent
Wednesday evening, but was
not delivered to him. AuotEfer
message was sent about 10:00
o'clock that night, advising him

was a splendid young woman,
held in the highest esteem by all
and the news of her death oc-
casioned much sorrow.

tin; Mrs. T. S. Jobson, O. C., H.

Mesquiter Will Bid
Some Readers Goodbye
There are a few people ou onr
mail list, principally living at a
distance, who will have to tell the
Mesquiter goodbye this week un-
less they "they across" with
what they owe before next mail-
ing day. On Nov, 2, we have to
fill out another newspaper ques-
tionnaire, showing how we are
complying with the Government
in regard to sending the paper
to those in arrears, and the few
readers referred to will be mark-
ed off our books and not be treat-
ed as subscribers in that report.
We hope there will not be but
few of those. In the past few
weeks we have secured a num-
ber of" new subscribers—more
than enougo to take the place of
those we may have to cut off—
but we would like to have the
new subscribers and retain all
the old ones as well.

Receipts Are Not
Being Mailed Out
The Mesquiter has received
lately quite a lot of subscription
renewals by mail, and contrary
to our usual custom, we are not
mailing receipts. It takes 3 cents
to carry each of these receipts to
the subscriber and the aggre-
gate would amount to a consider-
able sum. In a short time we
will have our mailing list on lino-
type slugs in mailing galley and
the date to which each subscrib-
er is paid will be printed after
his or her name, like this:
Card Of Thanks
Mrs. Mattie White, Dec 1, 20
R. 1, Rocky, Okla.
That means that Mrs. White
has her subscription paid^to De-
cember 1,1920. Subscribers are
asked to notice the date printed
aftert their names, as soon as
this is done, and if it does not
show them to ba paid to the date
tljey thinlt it should, please call
the matter to our attention, and
if there is an error, we will glad-
ly correct it. While we do not
mail receipts on account of the in
creased postage rates, we keep a
record of all remittances on tho
stub of our receipt books as well
as our subscription books.
