officials:
"Aftej getting off duty I
started home in my car. I start
ed to drive past a car in which
two negroes were riding on
Commerce street. The driver
whipped his machine in front
of mine and then slowed down
Numerous time I tried to
by them and the negro would
again and again whip his
machine in front of nie and
then look back at me and
laugh. When they tired of this
they drove, off and ran away
from me. 1 was in a small car
and they were in a big machine j
"I trailed along after them
and found them at 1010 South
Carroll with the car parked
outside. I went jn to arrest the
driver of the car for a traffic
violation and he attacked me
with rocks and an ax. After
he had hit me on the head
with the ax, I shot twice with
my pistol."

"Good mornin' thar Lucindy,
called out Mrs. Tweekins and Sa-
fronia Wiggins simultaneously as
they lifted the latch to the Rain
water abode having seen smoke
coming from the Rainwater kitch-
en and knew their neighbor and
friend was ai home.
"Good mornin* Lucindy! Wc
heerd ye wus home again frpm
takin' of a tower somewhere*,
(from Tobe Spilkins) who rid by
this mornin' and lowd yo'uns just

Safronia Higgins.
"Well, Lucindy, wc heered ye
wuz home agin' from takin of a
travelin'tower some whars, so wc
jist come right over to git ye to
te'i whar ye have been and what
ye seed on yer tower," said Mrs.
Tweekins as she and Safronia
Higgins came swiftly up the flow
cr bordered walk leading to the
Rainwater domicile and discovered
that worthy young lady sitting on
her back porch, industriously ply-
ing the butcher knife to a large
pumpkin, while she sang at the
top of her voice "I am Bound for
the Promised Land."
"Land of goodness, gals! Ye al-
most skeered me, a coming up so
sudden like; but have ye jist no<v
heered about me and Jeems a tak-

county, whar we kin have a hog
and chicken farm and hit all het
up with gas and lit up with 'Iec-
tricity, and hit all hooked up with
one o' them talkin' telephones Jby;
that thar Telephone Co.' replied
Mrs. Rainwater as she placed the
brass kettle of sliced pumpkin on
the kitchen stove then seated her-
self and took from her own snuff
box a generous "dip."
"We hain't heerd nary word
cep'n what has been told by that
triflin' Tobe Spilkins, the news to-:
ter of the whole country, but Tobe
bein' sich a ongodly liar we lowd
we'd better come over and hear
from yer own mouth wuthcr or
not ye air figgerin' on leavin to
Dallas County," said Mrs. Tweek-
ins as she supplied herself with a
generous "dip" of snuff as did
Miss Safronia Higgins whereupon
all three women were ready for
conversation.
Well 1 recon Tobe told ve did-
n't lie. about us buyin' a farm nigh
Mesnuitc right smack on that
High I.ine of the Texas Power %
Light Co . where we could git the
oblecgin' C. D Dean who has done
growed up to be the manager of
the Texas Power & Light Co. thar
in Mesquite. to send the leading
electricity wire fellow out to hook
us on to them High Wires and
them poles of the Texas Power &
Light Co. so's we could git all lit
up with Iectricity, and also git the
obleegin' M. L McMennamy to
hook us on to them gas pipe lines
of the L°ne Star Gas Company,
so's we could cook and git het up
with nater'l gas and also to set one
of them gas heaters in our settin'
room an' one of them Pittsburgh
water heaters in our bath room
of the new house which W. L.
Wilkinson, manager of the John

"Shore 'nitff? Lawsy massy, htt
shore must be power Jul convenient
to live nigh a place whar sich con.
veniences as them kin be brought
to jl body's house, "yes. and Tobe
sez Mr Rainwater is figgern' con-
siderable of doin' a right smart
chance of dairy fartnin' up thar
nigh Mesquite and likely as not
will organize several o' them bull
circles <o's them Dallas county
farmers kin begin to bred up their
stock, so we jest come over as
soon as we heerd to git you to tell
tis if such is the case and what ail
ye seed and done while ye wuz
talkin' of the tower. Yes, and he
heerd Mr. Rainwater a sayin* yis.
terday down to Jeremier Plunket's
store that he wuz tired of livin*
in Coon Skin Crossin* a raisin' cot-
ton to give away to them Liverpool
cotton gamblers and he wuz a
lowin' to shake the dust of Coon
Skin from his fe t and go to a
more progressive place whar he
kin hire niggers to raise hogs and
garden sass and feed and git a
little pleasure outer life while he
is doin' all sich.
"And whar you kin make a com-
fortable livin' fer both of you-uns
(if sich became necessary) by rais-
in' chickens and aigs fer the mar-
ket and keep that big Tosch Meat
Market at Mesquite supplied with
the finest of milk fed chickens and
fresh eggs, added Miss Safronia
Higgins and she and Mrs. Tweek-
ins took chairs on the back porch
and got their snuff bottles and
brushes preparatory to a friendly
"dip" with their neighbor.
"Oh, yes. after I seed what a
fine clean sanataceous Meat Mar-
ket W. H. Tosch wuz
a runnin' thar in Mesquite and
that he had customers a comin'
from all over the country includin
sights of folks comin' from Dallas
to git them fine fresh home kilt
meats -from the Tosch Meat Mar-
ket (because thar warnt no sich a
institootion in Dallas whar sich
fine home kilt meats could be
bought) so I immejutly as soon as
I could git a chanst to horn them
fine dressed Dallas wimmen a way
from the meat counter (me bein'
afeart they wuz goin' to buy Mr.
Tosch out lock stock and bar'l be-
fore I could git to hand in Mir.
andy Smith's special order fer a
10 pound pork roast) I then and
thar told W. H. he could not only
count me in as a stiddy customc*
of his'n but I would also fetch into
him every week a big batch of
my own home growed chickens
and fresh yard eggs fer them cus-
tomers of his'n and likely as not
several pounds of my own butter
hand churned by me and "
"Well now I^ucindy, interrupted
Safronia Higgins, To.be sez that
lectrified lights is fetched right to
yer door on the poles and wires
of that Texas Power and Light
Co, which is holdin' forth thar in
Mesquite stiddy goin', and Tobe
sez that thar big company the
president of which is John Car-
penter a livin' thar in Dallas is a
tryin' his durndest to git the hull
state of Texas lectrified so's us
pore down trod farmers kin take
life easy a lightin' cookin', washi'i
ironin', sewin' an' sweepin' by
Iectricity and Tobe sez if we set
here and hold our hands like we
been doin' in about 100 years
Coon Skin Croosin' will also git
hooked up with Iectricity."
"Just about," agreed Mrs.
Tweekins, and Tobe sez he's fig-
gerin' on immigratin' to some
Iectricity lit settlement whar the
Texas Power & Light Co. is a
holdin' forth an' furnishin' Iectric-
ity juice to farmers so's they kin
see whar he's goin' when he has
to git up before day to milk the
cows, and not take no chances on
gittin' butted plum over by some
durned billy goat a standin' by,
and Tobe sez all the farmers these
days a livin' nigh them Transmts •
sion wires of Texas Power &
Light Co. is a gittin' Iectricity sot
up on their farms specially on
them up to date dairy farms,
which he heard you-uns wus fig-
gerin on buyin* down in Dallas
county, nigh to Mesquite.
"To be shore, they are" replied
Mrs. Rainwater.' She sat down
with her mouth full of snuff.
Miss Safronia added, as she sat
down with her mouth full of snuff
"Yes. and Tobe wuz also sayin' as
how ye found several old Coon
Skin Crossin' boys livin' over thar
in Mesquite and all of 'em doin'
plum well and prosperin' like and
most of 'em, he sez, is now the
lcadin' lights of that town and
thats why ye wuz occasioned to
locate yerselves thar. Now, is sich
the truth and who wuz them old
boys?"
"Oh, to be sure, we come across
several Coon Skin Crossin' boys
livin' riRht thar and all of 'em
doin' plum well and prosperin' and
them which we seed wuz the
leadinest lights and mainest pil-
lars of Mesquite and all of 'em
plum popler and well liked on ac-
count of their square dealin's and
right thar with them Coon Skin
Crossin' boys which had to be
good sense to immigrate to Dallas
County and grow up with the
country into big storekeepers and
bankers is whar we done all our
Christmas tradin* fer Alviry and
them nine young-uns of her'n."
"Shore miff? Now, jist who
mought be some o' them fellers

"Well, didn't Tobe tell ye about
ms a bein' hope outen the diten
(whar my ole man driv our fliv-
