New Concrete Curb
On Bryan Street
The property owners on
Bryan street are to be con-
gratulated for the big im-
provement they have made
along that street by laying
curbs and gutters.
As this is a part of the Belt
Line highway, the roadbed be-
tween the old pavement and
the new curbing will be paved
by the county, thus making
this the nicest street in Mes-
quite.
It has been suggested that
property owners along other
streets can do the same thing
and at a very low cost as the
labor can be secured under re-
lief or PWA work and the
only cost to the property own-
ers will be the actual cost of
materials'.
The Woman's Civic Club took
advantage of our brainstorm,
so Saturday it will be your
privilage to see a soft bail
game at the baseball park be-
tween the Fats and Leans. We
would like to see ole Eddiu
Lawrence heave 'em over for
the Fats— weather permitting
. . . .Wednesday was the open-
ing day of the game fish
season and there was an exo-
dus of business men to Lake
Dallas and other places de-
signed for the followers of
Isaac Walton. Poor old Tom
Payne didn't catch a single
one and was still moaning
Thursday over the caprices of
Lady Luck. . . . Mr. James
Franklyn Richardson would
make a good columnist, he.
hears of a pending wedding
and promptly goes to see about
selling a refrigerator or some
other device before the genernl
public gets an inkling of what
is going on. . . .Jawsuf (Onicn-
Head) Norwood is a great
fisherman; he sneaked out to
a private lake which was re-
putedly lousy with the finny
tribe and caught the largest
snapping turtle since the days
of Alley Oop. . .'. .Harry Ever-
ett is immensely elated. An
oil well blew in near his prop-
erty in the Rio Grande Valley
ai d he has visions of becoming
another Rockefeller The
little "white hat" that was
seen cruising the streets of
Mesquite Wednesday housed
none other than the Honorable
Reginal Ewing, nephew of O.
C. McDearman and recently
discharged from a 'Submarine
Division of the U. S. Navy—
"and going back," says Ewing.
"Back where NRA, A,
FERA, AAA and CWA are
just letters in the alphabe- :
where a man can legally raise
a thirst and where Sailors
'(well this was confidential)"—
But anyhow he will soon be
back with the submarines.
. . . .A big, fresh, lovely bou-
quet to Uncle Will (popcorn)
Paschall, who is confined close
to home this week with a bit
of eye trouble. We hope to sec
you back in line soon. Uncle
Will is one of the true, staunch
friends of the editor and the
paper, so besides an interest
from a community standpoint,
we feel a personal interest in
his welfare. We use the ex-
pression (popcorn) because
everyone ascociates his name
with bumper crops in several
lines but particularly popcorn.
. . . .A bouquet to Mrs. Eunice
Grttbb, formerly of Mesquite
but now Rural Home Super-
visor of Van Zandt County.
Apparently she is filling her
posjtion to the complete satis-
faction of everyone. Following
is an item clipped from a paper
of that county: "Mrs. Grubb is
a vital pulsating part of the
rural life program of Van
Zandt. The somber beauty of
her maturity and the gentle
sweetness of her personality
wins for her the hearts of the
farm people whom she serves
so well.".... .ABOUT TOWN
WE SAW. . E. B. Cullom,
formerly in the drug buiness
here, but now of Mineo'a,
shaking hands with the "boys"
. . . Bill Berry supervising the
erection of a new home. . . .

For A. Tosch, 85

dren sent their love and birth-
day gifts.

the early business men of Mes-
quite, enjoys good health and
is remarkably active for one of

'due a strong Christian char-
acter—one who ever strives
to walk up rightly and lend a
helping hand in every good
work, was completely sur-
prised' when, on his return
from> church walked into the
dining room to discover a
beautiful birthday cake i'n the
center of the table, garlanded
with red rose buds and the re-
quired number of candles. Ask
him how many—and his place
covered with beautifully
wrapped packages that held
the secret too. The dinner was
sponsored by Mrs. W. E. Pas-
chall, Mrs. A. L. Gray and
Mrs. W. E. Lawrence.
After a social hour all took
reluctant leave, wishing for
the honoree peace, content-
ment and happiness in the
