Presbyterian Revival
On Church Lawn
Evangelist J. M. Martin, who
is Presbyterian Evangelist for
Dallas Presbytery, will be here
Friday to do the preaching and
lead in the revival services which
begin at the Presbyterian
church at that time! In addition
to being an excellent preacher,
Rev. Mr. Martin is also a splen-
did song leader and invites all
of the singers of the community
to assist in this part of the serv-
ice. The local Presbyterian
church also asks this co-opera-
tion and at the same time ex-
tends an invitation to everybody
to attend and help in as many
ways as possible.
The morning service at ten
o'clock will be held in the main
auditorium of the Church, which
will be opened early each morn-
ing thus assuring a cool com-
fortable room. Then the even-
ing service beginning promptly
at eight o'clock will lie held on
the lawn on the east side of the
church as this side will have the
benefit of the afternoon shade
and will be cool for the night
service.
Rev. R. W. Benge, stated
clerk of Dallas Presbytery, in a
personal letter to the Pastor
here says of Rev. Martin: "He
has just closed a twelve days
meeting with me and he is a
constructive Evangelist. His
sermons arc very practical and
the series are given in logical or-
der. His illustration apt and or-
iginal and he will do you a good
work."
Scyene Road To Be
Completed In 60 Days
In an interview with Commis-
sioner Jim Miller in Mesquite
Tuesday, lie stated that the new
Scyene road is expected to be
completed in the next sixty days.
The work of laying the rock
foundation of the road has been
completed from the city limits
ol Dallas to the S. B. Marshall
farm, about three miles west of
Mesquite Tuesday, the finishing
crew of the grading work began
at the public square in Mesquite
and worked west toward the
Marshall farm. The work of
laying the rock foundation on
this end of the road was begun
at the public square Tuesday and
and is proceeding west. About
twelve or fifteen large army
trucks are used in hauling the
rock, which is being secured at
White Rock about eight miles
west of Mesquite.
While the foundation crew is
at work on the Mesquite end of
the road another crew is at work
on the west end laying the gravel
and putting on the finishing,
which was begun Thursday.
From the appearance of the
work being done, this road will
be one of the finest highways in
the county if not the State.
The Mesquite people, as well
us others, will be glad to see this
new road completed, as it will
greatly shorten the distance to
Dallas, and will be a new high-
way leading into Mesquite.
Of course you are invited—Come

Arkansaw Traveler
Ends His Journey
News was received in Mes
quite too late for publication in
our last issue of the death of
Sam D. Mitchusson which oc-
curred at Hutchins on Thursday
of last week.
Mr. Mitchusson, who was the
oldest correspondent of the Mes
quiter, was widely known by his
non de plume of Arkansaw Trav-
eler. Though not an educated
man. he had a good deal of nat
tiral ability as a writer and his
unique method of expression
made his communications inter-
esting. He was very positive
in his political views and did not
hesitate to express them. He
was an uncompromising oppon
ent of prohibition and womens
suffrage, and a steadfast^ friend
of former United States Senator
Joseph W. Bailey. He had been
.1 resident of this section for
many years but was staving
temporarily at Hutchins where
the end came. /
Mr. Mitchusson was *72 years
old, was horn in Kentucky and
came to this community about
thirty years ago. He had spent
most of his time liere with J. J
Beach, who lives near Orphans
Home. The direct cause of his
death was Bright's disease.
Though out of harmony with
prevailing political sentiment
ind even somewhat intolerant
in his political views, he, never
theless, maintained the. good will
and friendship of those who
knew him best, regardless of ex-
isting differences of opinion.
With the death of Arkansaw
Traveler, one of the most unique
characters of this section has
nassed away and we SVe/tMK
that the news of his death will
cause a pang of regret not only
to the people of this immediate
section, but to readers of this
paper in other parts of Texas
and in other States. Interment
took place at Pleasant Mound
Cemetery 011 Friday.

, N. Terry, Et A1
Sued For $10,000.00
Sen. Culberson To
Seek Re-election
False accusation of felony
theft, arrest, foiced journey
from Oklahoma to Texas, and
confinement in jail without due
process of law, are alleged 11 a
! 110,000 damage suit filed by
Mrs. Meta Martin in the Sixty
Eighth District Court against
Constable E. N. Terry of Mes-
quite, sureties on his bond, Cul-
lie Shipp, J. L. Futrell and Miss
Missouri Futrell.
Considerable interest was
aroused here (recently when Con-
stable Terry returned from Ok-
ahoma City with Tom Martin
and wife, Mrs. Meta Martin,
following charges filed by J. L.
Futrell and his sister, Miss Mis-
souri Futrell, alleging theft of
!>53, a lap robe and a rifle. The
Futrells are distant relatives of
Tom Martin, who with his wife
had been visiting in their home
The charges, implicating both
Mr. and Mrs. Martin were filed
following the departure of the
Martins from the Futrell home
On the return of the Martins
accompanied by the two little
boys of Mrs. Martin's sister, who
since their mother's death had
lived with their aunt, examining
trial was held and the Martins
were bound over to the grand
jury.
The grand jury failed to in
diet Mrs. Martin, returning i
true bill against Martin, how
ever, who is now out on bond.
In the damage suit just filed
Mrs. Martin is joined pro forma
by her husbajid, and asks $5,000
actual and $5,000 exemplary
damages. Sam Dysterbach ani
Sylvan Dysterbaich are named as
defendants in that they are sure
ties on the official bond of Con
stable Terry.
Mrs. Martin alleges in her pe
tition that June 30, 1921, Consta
ble Terry and Shipp, acting
the instance of J. L. Futrell and
his sister and of their own vol
tion, took her in custody at Ok
lahoma City, compelled her
go from her dwelling into the
street, put her in jail and kept
her a prisoner for twenty-four
hours, and then compelled her
to accompany them 011 the train
to Dallas, where they caused her
to be confined July 1 in the Dal-
las County jail, where she was
kept for twelve days.
But on Wednesday morning
the grand jury indicted Mrs.
Martin for theft.
"We can't have a defendant
suing everybody who appears
,before the grand jury," one juror
said. "It will get so folks will
be afraid to appear before the
grand jury. We've got to pro-
tect our witnesses somehow."
That Charles A. Culberson of
Dallas, senior United States sen-
ator from Texas, will be a can-
didate for re-election to the of-
fice which he has held since 1899.
is news brought home by friends vefy lmy at thjs writing
of the Texas senator who last
week visited him in Washington.
"Senator Culberson is in bet-
ter health than in many years," jn Kentucky last week. Wish
Mr. Bost sold the bale to J. C |
Williams for 13c.
T. C. Smith and Walter HaiL;i
also brought in a bale each lai 't
in the da&
The first bale last vear w |
