F*. Davis attended a tea at
the home of Mrs. J- C. Reagan
in Forney, Tuesday afternoon,
given by the ladies of the
"Live Wire Young Women*
Christian Organizati* u". There
were about 100 guests, includ-
ing those from Dallas. Mes-
quite and T'rrell- 'I he Mes-
quite ladies who attended en-
joyed the afair very much and
said that the Y. M. C. A- work,
ej-s from Dallas said that they
would gladly^ come to Mes-

W. A. Hall, who has filled
filled the position of night
watchman for Mesquite, ha»|
resign d that position, offer-j
tive Wednesday of this week.j
and has "one to his farm,
southeast of town, and at a
meeting of the business inctt
' vider the auspices of the (
Chamber of Commerce. J. T.j
Milam was chosen to succeed'
him-
Mr. Hall filled the position i
most acceptably, as he was in_ |
dustrious and alert and oiij
several occasions performed I
his duties at great risk of his:
■ wn life.
Our readers will recall one'
of these occasions, when safe
robbers who were accosted bv
Mr. Hall, slugged and bound
him. holding him captive until
they had robbed a hail f dozen
or mere safes in town-
One of the men held a pistol
against Mr. Hall's Ixidy and!
commanded him to stick up
his hands, but instead of com
riving, he made a lunge and
took the pistol away from the
man. but was slugged fr« m
behind by one of th? robber's
companions.
It is needless to say that his
resignation was accepted with
regret by the business men of
the town, whom he served so
faithfully and who paid his
salary.
Mr. Milam accepted the posi
tioti and went on duty Wed-
nesday night.
