The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1912-04-04

Lubbock has improved within
the past twelve months in many
ways. Not only has there been
more substantial buildings erect
ed in this town than any other
town Of its size on the south
plains, but she has improved in
various ways. Not only has the
town improved. but the county
surrounding IL has been keeping
up a lively gait.
The farmers and land owners
have been improving. New
farm houses have been built,
larger tracts of land have been
put in cultivation. New farms
have been opened up, and our
farmers are turning their atten-
ton TO the diversified, intensified
theory Of farming. For this
reason there are noticeable i'm
provements in conditions over
a year ago. For instance, 'ast
year our merchants were having
eggs shipped into town for
Easter uses. while this year there
are dozens after dozens stacked
I'D in the retail stores and hun
dreds Of crates are being ship
ped out 10 other markets by our
produce dealers. The change
in this instance is caused by the
farmers devoting uore time and
attention TO the poultry depart
ment of tne farm, which IS one
Of the strong spokes in the DIV
ersifed farming wheel. Another
improvement is that the farmers
are selling fat hogs on the mark
et here all the time. which is
another important link Of the
great chain of diversified farm
ing methods. And still another,
the great amount Of feed that
has been shipped out Of Lubbock
during the past six months IS a
big item that has never before
been considered as an important
feature until the last seasons
big crop was gathered. This
along with cotton has brought
the farmer out on the top, and
he is the man that carries the

Baby Died

Last Thursday afternoon the
death angel visited the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Moore, and
placed its hands upon their Ia
months old baby, the idol of the
home. and took it from this world
of trouble. sorrow and suffering,
to that land where all is bright,
where the sunlight of the bles-
sed Master ever shines upon the
redeemed of earth. This child
was the only one that has ever
pladdened the hearts of this
father and mother and the sep
aration was no doubt very
keenly felt. There is consola-
lation to those of an upright
heart, however, in the words OF
the Savior who said: Suffer
little children and forbid
them not to come un-
TO Me. for of such is the King
dom of Heaven. The bereaved
parents have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the people of this
city. The remains of the little
one was borne to its last earthly
resting place in the Lubbock
cemetery by loving friends.
where funeral services were con-

The City Election

Very little interest was mani
tested in the election of three
aldermen in the city election
last Tuesday, which was held
in the City Hall. Only AZ votes
were cast. and the three men
on the ticket received all of
them. None were scratched
and no new names were added.
This goes to show that the peo-
pie were pretty well satisfied
with the present administration.
The elected aldermen were N.
r. Porter. B. O. McWhorter and
p. b. Penney.

NEW YORK, May l6-For nursing a man who lived for years with a broken neck, Miss Eleanor Peregr;n win gain more than S275, 900.
 The patient was Walter E. Duryea. When he finally died he left his en. tire fortune. amounting to more than $5OO.OOO. 70 Miss Peregrin. The will caused a sensation at the time 1t was filed.
 Now Miss Peregrin is to receive S27S,56I55 more. This sum would have come to Duryea under the will Of his father. Edgar E. Duryea. The father died at Glen Cove, May 10. 1910. leaving an estate of nearly Sl, 000.0oo, the major portion of which was left to his injured son.
 The report of Louis T.. Frank W. and Harry IT. Duryea, who are trus- tees under the will has just been filed, showing that the remainder of the estate. now in their hands, is 227S.56l55. This will necessarily be- come part of the residuary estate, which becomes part of the estate of the injured son. who left his all to Miss Peregrin.

PLAY PLEASES
AT THE BIJ0U
Will Close Next Week. THE
Devil" April 8.

ga Romance of the Borderiand,
the play at the Bijou this week,
which had its initial performance
last night, is one of the genuine far
west type. The scene of action is
located on both sides of the Rio
|Grande, partly in Mexico, but prin-
Icipally on a ranch in Fexas near the
border, and is faithfully descriptive
of the unconventional modes of life
of much of the great southwest.
The first act discloses an excellent
stage setting of Paquita's restaurant
in the Mexican town adjoining the
bull ring and the tragic end or
.Owaga, an old Indian, who loves
rum to his W ruin. The following
acts occur on Barnet's ranch in
just across the border, and
while the play Is full of highly sem
'sationaI incidents, the most intensely
dramatic is that of Julia, daughter
of Gideon Barnet, who to save her
lovers honor, Burton Shackelford,
who has been made to sleep soundiy
by old Gideon In order to allow the
escape of his son Dave from the pen
atty of numbering the old Indian
Owaga, delivers the message to the
fort herself in Ignorance that the
message is q warrant for the arrest
of her own brother. The next MORN
ing the officer awakens and the facts
are brought to light, the desperation
of old Gideon, the daughters re-
morse and agony and fearful prayer,
hold the audience spell-bound.
Next week the theater Will be clos
ed in Difference to the views of many
of its patrons, and will open on
Monday, April 8, with a matinee In
a strong production of the famous
play, 1.-THE Devil" This play, which
is a satire on much of present day
society, has met with wonderful sue
cess wherever 1t has been produced.
The Miller Stock Company are
making extraordinary efforts to pro-
duce it as brilliant and effective as
played in larger cities. Matinees,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday,
with extra on Monday.
