|day it was selling up to 21
cents. Tuesday it was a cent
lower, and Wednesday and

Take Steps To Form
A Legion Post Here
About thirty ex-service men
of Mesquite and vicinity met at
the W. O. W. Hall Monday night,
to take preliminary steps to or-
ganize a post of the American
Legion here. Harry Shaw pre-
sided at the meeting and Robert
Hall acted as secretary.
A committee composed of Har
ry Shaw, W. E. Lawrence and
Marlin Davis was appointed to
prepare application for a charter,
to be sent to national headquar-
ters.
As soon as authority is re
ceived, another meeting will be
held to complete the organiza-
tion, including the election of of-
ficers.
Extra Large Crowd
In Town Saturday
One of the largest crowds that
has been in Mesquite in a long,
long time, was here Saturday, to
witness-the distribution of prem-
iums offered by nineteen of .the
leading merchants and business
men of Mesquite.
Long before the distribution
was made, the park in the center
of the public square was packed
full of people to see the awards
made.
Premiums were awarded as
follows:
$2.50 cash premiums to Mrs. J.
T. (Tom) Davis, L. H. Terry,
Mrs. E. V. Paschall and a little
Miss Shepherd, whose given
name we did not learn.
$5.00 cash premiums to Mrs. R.
A. Hall and O. S. Ragland.
The $10.00 cash premium to
Little Miss Lenora Bell.
The actual awards were made
by O. H. Britain, acting as treas-
urer, assisted by little Miss
Christine McGaughey. The Mes-
quiter editor did the announcing.
It is understood that there is a
movement on foot to offer some
larger premiums or prizes, and a
meeting of the business men will
likely be held early next week
to decide on a plan.
Mesquite likes to have good
crowds like that, and of course
a big crowd at this season of the
ear means something in a bus
mess way, for that day as well
as the future, and the stores did
an unusually large business that
day. The main idea, however is
not for the increased volume of
one day's business, but to get
more people in tl>e habit of com-
ing to Mesquite.
since Mr. Roberson left.
and Mrs. Smith will move in the °[ Mrs- Roberson's condition
house with Mr. and Mrs. J. A.f
Girdley.
At the opening of the Mur-
phree School Monday the people
of the community attended and
a splendid program was rendered.
Rev. E. T. Howard made a splen-
did talk, Miss Geraldine McCul-
lough was well received in some
readings, and several of the pa-
trons made excellent talks. At
the noon hour a bountiful dinner
was served on the grounds. Mr.
Baxter is the superintendent of
the school and Miss Mary D. Bal-
throp is assisting.
Miss Lillian Paschall, regular
assistant in the Mesquiter office,
who had been out for some time
on account of the illness of her
mother, resumed her duties here
Saturday, relieving Mrs. M. E.
Baird, who worked in her place
during her absence. While we
are glad of course, that Miss
Paschall was able to take up her
work again, we were, fortunate
in
being able to have the help of
Mrs. Baird. who took great in-
terest in her work and rendered
very valuable assistance.

Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Walker,
Mrs. Ina Baer, Miss Lillian Pas-
chall, Miss Alice Miller, the edi-.
tor and Mrs. Davis formed a par
ty of Mesquite people who went
to Dallas Tuesday evening, to
attend the evening or night per-
formance of the Majestic Thea-
tre.
The Majestic Theatre as is
generally known, is one of the
finest show houses, not only in
the South, but in the entire 'coun
try. Costing two million dollars
no detail was overlooked that
would make it a thing of beauty
and the last word in comfort and
convenience.
And the Big Time Vaudeville
shows to be seen there are in
keeping with the splendor of the
building itself. You do not nec
essarily need to know in ad
vance what the program is. The
fact that it is at the Majestic is
your guarantee that it is good
and the programs are alway
varied enough to suit every taste
You may have a preference for
music—classic or jazz, dancing
comedy, athletic feats, etc., and
while, because of this preference
some numbers may stand out as
better than others, the whole
program is so good that the nor
mal person is sure to enjoy it all
The program Tuesday evening,
consisting of eight numbers
with a few extras and encores
thrown in, consisted of sweet
music, Scotch comedy, eleven
dicing, some novel athletic
feats and a delightful little play
let.
If you want to take your fam
ily or a party of friends out for
an afternoon or an evening of
pleasure, we know of no better
place to go than the Majestic,
Shows are given twice daily, the
matinee at 2:30 and the evening
performance at 8:30.
The personal attention given
each individual student is another
reason Buford College graduates
jail draw such good salaries.

origin, causes and treatment of
these diseases, as well as the
symptoms by which they are

Special Notice
Our books are now closed and
we will do business on a cash
basis for the rest of the year.
We have been very lenient with our
customers, carrying many of them over
from last year, on account of the dis-
tressing conditions prevailing last fall,
but now that conditions are - much im-
proved, we hope our customers will be
as nice to us as we have been to them
and will come in and settle the amounts
thev owe us, as we have obligations of
our own to meet, and we need the
money for that purpose.
