most popular business men, quiet
ly slipped away last week and on
Jan. the 18th, 1910. taken unto
himself a blushing BRIDE. This
occurred in the beautiful city Of
Denison at the home Of the brides
parents on above date mentioned.
The ceremony was pronounced
by the Rev. c. l.. Huffhines. of
Garland, a school day friend and
room mate of the groom. The
happy couple left on the five
O'Clock train for Waxahachie
where the parents of the groom
live. After spending a few hap

here Saturday evening the 22nd.
Mr.. Pierce is one of Lubbock S
most progressive young business
men and numbers his friends boy

will make him a loving and cheer

life.
The Avalanche joins the many

REGISTRATION BUREAU IN ALL
INCORPORATED TOWNS
Some radical changes are made
/ in the old law on collection of
vital statistics. The clerk of
court is still the registrar Of each
county outside of Incorporated
cities and towns and such reports
of births and deaths are made
direct to him. Every incorpor-
ated city and town in the State
is made a primary registration
district and all births and deaths
occurring in such city is TO be-
reported to the city health off
Ger or other city official who
acts as city registrar This Is in
practice already u the larger
cities Of the State.
UNDERTAKES TO MAKE RETURN
or A DEATH
A new departure is placing the
responsibility of reporting deaths
upon the undertaken, as is done
in other states most successful
in collecting such statistics. A
burial permit is required in each
incorporated city and town,
which is issued by the city regis
trar. but in the rural districts no
permit is required and the certi-
icaies Of detth'is sent by the
undertaken direct to the clerk of
the county court Physicians,
midwives or parents are required
70 report births. A penalty is
provided for that will cause all
concerned 10 take notice.

QUARANTINE AND D ioN
The new rules on tn, subject
of the management of contagious
diseases are clear and concise
but vary very little from these
previously in vogue. All cases
of a contagious nature are re-
auired to be placed under re-
strictions by the first doctor that
sees them, and the attending
physician is given authority to
do this. He next notifies the
local health officer. and in case
of pestilential disease. notifies

of Health by wire

mic dysentery. trachoma, tuher-
culosis. and anthrax, and reports
made monthly to the State Board
Of Health.
Several kinds or degrees Of

DESERTER is ARRESTED
L. o. Gillett Brought Back from
Chicago by Sheriff McNally

About month ago L. 0. Gillett, a
drayman of this city, became so infatu-
ated with one, Agnes Karstens, that he
sold his team and made preparations to
to leave his family and go to Chicago
with tho girls parents, who were NOV
ing to that city, He was apprehended
by Sheriff McNally as he was about to
board the train and given warning as to
what would happen if he carried out his
intentions. He gave up the plan for
the time being and few days later
moved his family to Barron, where he
deserted them and went to Chicago.
Mrs. Gillett returned to this city, where
she has been working and supporting her
two boys.
Last week Sheriff McNally "made
good" with the cooperation of the Chi
cago police and ]. L. Ryall, detective.
They found the guilty pair living in a
tenement house, to which they were
innocently guided by the little Karstens
boy. The sheriff returned home with
his prisoner Tuesday.
Gillett was arraigned before Justice
Manning Wednesday and plead guilty
to the charge of abandoning his family.
The maximum penalty for this crime is
three years in the penitentiary, which
takes it out of the jurisdiction of JUS
tice of the peace, and he was therefore
bound over to circuit court. The amount
of bond was fixed at $500, in default of
which he was committed to Jail.
It is understood that the girl will be
sent to the Illinois reformatory by the
Chicago authorities.

SUNDAY BASE BALL
Two Interesting Games with Tony
and Hawkins

Our people were given an opportunity
to witness couple of good exhibitions
of the national game last Sunday, and
large crowd took advantage of the
opportunity. The first game, between
Ladysmith and Hawkins, was close and
interesting. Until the third Hawkins
man laid down his bat in the ninth
inning, it looked as if one guess on the
result was as good as another.
The faces and names of some of the
Hawkins players bore suspicious re-
semblance to those of residents of Glen
Flora and Ingram, but that is of no
special consequence. One shouldn' t
analyze too closely the makeup of
ball team. Take it as you do patent
medicine-on faith in the name on the
bottle.
Ladysrnith's scores were all made in
the 4th inning and after two men were
out. In the 9th inning Hawkins almost
tied the score. With a. scores safely
entered on the ledger, two men out and
two men on bases, Burns took a long
chance on making home from third.
Fitzgibbons extended him a hand,
which unfortunately contained the
horsehide sphere, and again was fore
