the Way We Feel-
A good Grocer does not need
to say a great deal and yet he
needs to keep the fact that he is
still in business, before the pub-
lic, and to solicit a continuance
of their trade.
So we are saying that we are
as well prepared, and as anxious
to serve the public as ever.

A committee of Terrell busi-
ness men, representing the
Chamber of Commerce of that
city, opened negotiations in Dal-
las Monday with the officials of
the Lone Star Gas Co., for the
construction of a natural gas
line to supply Terrell.
According to L. H. Markham,
secretary of the Terrell Cham-
ber of Commerce, the Lone Star
Gas Company has indicated its
willingness to construct the line
if the cooperation of the citi-
zens of Terrell can be obtained.
Assuming that the line, if
built, would run from Dallas, it
very probable that it would
pass through and serve the
towns of Mesquite and Forney.

Tragic Death Comes
To James H. Chase
James H. Chase, well known
resident of this section, was
found in a dying condition on
Pacific Avenue in Dallas, about
3:20 o'clock Thursday afternoon
of last week. An ambulance was
summoned and he was taken to
Parkland Hospital but died on
the way. The body was taken to
an undertaking parlor in that
city, where it remained until
2:00 o'clock Friday afternoon
before being identified by
brother.
When discovered, Mr. Chase
was lying on a pile of dirt in the
middle of Pacific Avenue, at the
rear of 1109 Elm street, and
two ounce bottle which had con
tained carbolic acid was lying
near the body.
James H. hCase was born in
Tennessee on April 8, 1868, ancl
was therefore a little more than
53 years of age. He came with
his parepts to Texas when very
young and for many years hac
lived in and around Mesquite
At the time of his death, he
lived on what is known as the
old Francis Moore place, about
a mile and a half east of Mes
quite,' on the Xong Creek road
He purchased this place some
time ago.
That Mr. Chase was mentally
unbalanced at the time of his
death is of course understood
and it is said that he had been
worried for some time over fin
ancial affairs, as he had dis
cussed his affairs with friends
here recently and they said h"
seemed to be worried and very
much discouraged,
, He is survived by his wife and
eight children and by several
brothers and sisters. He had
many friends throughout the
