Marriage Business
Here Not Booming
By*Gin Lauf Repeal
Although a number of widely
separated sections of Texas report
an increase in marriage license is-
sued since repeal of the “gin law”
went into effect, Sept. 1, Erath
county hae enjoyed no such in-
crease.
The law that required that a no-
tice of “intention to wed” be filed
three days before the license was
issued caused many couples to go
to adjacent states to be married,
and authentic reports show that
counties in Texas lost considerable
business. The law was repealed by
the last regular session of the leg-
islature and was marked from the
statute books Sept. 1.
Fort Worth, Dallas and many
other places report a large in-
crease in marriage license issued
since the law was repealed. But in
Erath county last week only three
license were issued. They went to
Clyde R. Clark and Ava Mae Cole,
Bluff Dale, and Lonnie C. Cason
and Thelma Davis, also of Bluff
i Dale.
The, other couple requested that
the county clerk mark the stub in
the record book read, “please do
not publish.”

THOSE EMPTY
LAMP SOCKETS
Empty sockets make no light. You snap
a switch ... expect a light... and then
remember that you used the lamp in
another place. What an annoyance! *
What a nuisance 1 What false economy
...to change lamps from one socket to
another... especially when you can buy
the best lamp made for such a small sum.
So fill those empty sockets... give them a chance to be useful and
to render the service they should. Order enough lamps to fill your
empty sockets and to replace all burnt-out lamps. Then keep an
extra carton in the cupboard for emergencies. Order a supply today.
