luxury TO be able to step from the
home to barbershop where all the
latest conven'euces can be found,
and where customer can have his
wants attended to with knowledge
that he Is receiving the best atten-
ton in that line that money can
buy. Since the Stag Barber Shop
was opened few months ago, this
has been the experience of all who
have been fortunate enough to
drop in there. The service is OF
the best and the fittings are equal
to any 20 be found even IN New
Orleans. The next time you are
IN need of barber step over to the
Stag Barber Shop, on GIBSON street
and you will be more than pleased,
and the treatment you will receive
Will make you want to go again.
The establishment Is also fitted out
with a bath room-hot or cold.

stated tine employment of another

registurc of deeds in this state
will be less desirable from 6nan-
cial point than heretofore.
The new law practically takes
the recording Of vital statistics
away from the register of deeds
and establishes a state bureau of
vital statistics. Districts are to be
created and each health officer IN
the cities and clerks in the towns
are to be registrar of vital stats
tics, reporting direct to the state
board.

register of deeds a fee Of twenty
FIVE cents for registering births,
deaths, marriages, accidents and
divorces and an additional TEN
cents is allowed for reporting each
vital statistic to the secretary OF
state. The new law, which goes
into effect on Oct. /, will take
these duties and also the fees at
tached from the register of deeds
