Precitnt Lines
Are Changed
About 70 Votes Are Added to
Mesquite Voting Box,
The County Commissioners'
Court recently passed an or-
der that is of considerable inter-
est to the people of this section.
By the order of the court refer-
red to, the line between precincts
3 and 4 has been changed from
the Texas & Pacific Railroad to
the East pike, thus cutting off
part of the territory of the Gar-
land precinct and adding it to
the Mesquite precinct. This
change of the precinct lines made
necessary a rearrangement of the
voting precincts in the vicinity of
Mesquite. The Bayles school
house and Noith Mesquite boxes
are abolished, the north half of
the first named being added to
the Reinhardt box and the south
half to the Scyene box. Nearly
all of the North Mesquite box is
added to Mesquite, a few in that
box living north of the pike being
added to the New Hope box.
There is practically no change in
the Long Creek box except that
it is thrown in precinct 4. The
lines of the Mesquite voting box
are also extended further west
and south, taking a few votes off
of Scyene and a few from the
Rylie box.
By this change something like
175 votes a re taken from precinct
3 and added to precinct 4,
which comes nearer equalizing
the voting population of the two
precincts. It also adds about 70
votes to the Mesquite voting box.
Another result of this change
is that the people living just
north, northeast and northwest
of Mesquite will have a voice in
the election of a public weigher
and other officers of the precinct
embracing the town in which
they do nearly all their business.
Judge T. F. Nashs
Active Life Ends.
Career Closely Connected With
Growth of Dallas County.
Hon. Thomas P. Nash, Judge
of the Fourteenth District Court,
died last Friday afternoon at his
home in Dallas. His death was
due to kidney trouble, of which
he had been troubled for several
months.
He was born in Kentucky in
the year 1850, being 58 years of
age. When an infant he came
to Texas with his parents, who
located at Duck Creek, in the
eastern part of the county.
Judge Nash grew up on the
farm and attended the country
schools.
In 1871-72 he served as Deputy
under Sheriff J ere Brown, his
brother - in - law. Afterward he
taught school for several years.
About 1850 ho was elected Jus-
tice of the Peace at Duck Creek,
and served three terms, study-
ing law in the meantime. He
also served two terms in the 17th
legislature and ran for the
State Senate, but was defeated
by Hon. Joe Terrell of Kaufman
county. Following his defeat he
opened a law office in Dallas. In
1894 he was elected County
Judge and in 1896 was re-elected.
In 1898 Judge Nash was de-
feated for the third term by
Judge Kenneth Force. In 1900
.Judge Nash was elected Judge
of the Fourteenth District Court.
He was re-elected -in 1904, and at
the July primary of this year he
received the nomination for the
third term.
This paper, in its infant days,
when existence for it was mere
speculation, had as its champion
Judge Nash, he being editor in
the years 1883 84-85.
Judge Nash is survived by his
widow, who was Miss Mary F.
Hobbs, member of a pioneer fami-
ly of the county, and ten chil-
dren, three sons and seven
daughters. He is also survived
by two brothers and a sister.
The brothers are Rev. A. R.
Nash of Kaufman county, who
lived in Mesquite years ago, who
is also a brother-in-law to Mrs.
J. A. Girdley of this place, and
0. L. Nash of Garland, and his
sister is Mrs. John T. Jones,
wife of the president of the Na-
tional Bank of Garland.
In the early days of Mesquite
Judge Nash was at one time in
the hardwaie business here, be-
ing associated with .1.0. Rugel.
The body of Judge Nash was
laid to rest in Greenwood ceme-
tery in Dallas Sunday afternoon.
The service, which was held in
the Trinity Methodist church, of
which deceased was a devout
member and officer, was attend
ed by an immense concourse of
people—friends from Garland,
Mesquite, Pleasant Valley, Rich-
ardson and every point in the
county were present in large
numbers. The procession was
one of the largest Dallas ever
saw.
In his sermon Dr. Bradfield,
pastor of Trinity Church and
who conducted the service, re-
viewed the career of Judge
Nash, laying special emphasis on
the point which he said wa* il-
lustrated in his history, that it
was not only possible for a man
to be a Christian and uphold the
right and at the same time hold
positions of trust and honor sub
the hands of the people, but that
the best way to gain the confi-
dence of the people is to live tha
Christian life. He referred to
the steadfastness of his friend-
ship. He said he was & man
who would go to any length for a,
friend, and that it appeared that
his friends were in turn astrir
to him. The influence of Jadpge
Nash, he said, was distinctly tor
good.
The active pallbearers were J.
C. Rugel of Mesquite, J. T.
Mewshaw of Garland, J. K.
Coekrell, W. A. Kemp, likij^ens
Duncan and Edward Gray.
