As the Mesquiter goes to

it is snowing here, big flake*
coming steadily down. Follow
•ing a rain as it fell on the wet
ground, but on lawns and
other places where there is
grass* and on the housetops,
there is, even as we write, a
white blanket, and if the snow
keeps falling as it is as we
write, the white covering will
will be deeper and more gen.
eral, of course.
This is not only the first
stkiw of the season here, but
lit may be the only one, for
frequently we have no snow
at all during a winter.

Marks farm, about a mile
south o f Mesquite Monday

Drilling had been stopped

we were there they were put.
ting in the casing and we re-
mained long enough to wati
them couple up and sink sev-
eral of the 21 foot joints of
6 5-8 inch casing into the hole
which was then down to a
depth of 840 feet.
We understand that the
work of putting in the casing
was completed and drilling
resumed Wednesday.
We are convinced that the
men behind this project are
making an honest effort to
find oil, and along with all
others in this community we
would be highly elated if their
j efforts should meet with sue.

About six years ago, the
Rev. J. Wr Joiner held a meet
ing here in the Presbyterian
church. The meeting became
a true and real revival. Mr.
Joiner is a Biblical preacher
of the old school- He preaches
Bible and proves his state,
menfs from the Bible.
For many years he was pas"
tor at Wtortham. During his
pastorate, there was a material
increase of the membership
and a beautiful new church
building was constructed.
The Synod of Texas recog-
nized his earnest and con-
secrated service by offering
him a place as a Synod field
man, which he held for several
years He is now pastor at
Forreston, Texas, holding this
pastorate while his children
are in school at Trinity.
Because of his success every
where and because so many-
people here have remember-
ed him and his work here
before, he has been invited
back, and will hegin a revival
in the Presbyterian church
this next Sunday and lasting
for a week He will be here hv
next Sunday night. There will
be only night services through
thh week, beginning at 7 p. m.
Everyone is invited and cor-
dially welcome.
R. S- Kimbrough of Dallas,
was here Thursday.
Mrs- F. W. Schuler of Beau"
mont, who has been spending

home oif her parents, Mr. and

mont.
Public Benefaction
44
As the twig is inclined so the tree
is bent" is a very worthy saying. The
impressions made in childhood us-
ually go with them through iife. An
all round education consists of de-
velopment of a healthy body which
in turn makes for a healthy mental-
ity. Public benefaction in the build-
ing of the proposed gymnasium on
the school campus should have the
assistance of every man, woman and
child in this community. In further-
ing our slogan of helping people help
themselves, we are doing our bit
the helping.

We want to help you help yourself.
