This well known and popular citizen
OF Elizabeth city is the only representa-
tive Of the dental profession at that
point who is member of the State Den

White, now of Washington, this State.
Our subject was born in Halifax county
in 1860. and received his literary edu-
cation by attendance at the schools of
the section and the famous Union Hill
Academy of Scotland Neck. He began
the study of dentistry with DR.. r. NJ.
Johnson, of Scotland Neck, where he
remained for Il period of one year, and
subsequently in the fall of 1881 entered
the Baltimore College of dental surgery
graduating from that institution III
March of 1883 and at once began active
practice of his chosen profession at Eli
Zabeth City where he has since contin-
ned to practice enjoying a substantial
and augmenting practice. One noticea-
BILE characteristic of the Doctors prac-
tice. that is not often found with other
dentists, is that he has never gone out of
town to perform any service of dental
work during his entire life of practice.
His suit of offices are well equipped in
every respect located on the corner of
Poindexter and Main streets, and on
the second floor of the Bradford build
ing, commanding Il most admirable view
and are such as but few others are so
fortunate as to obtain. The rooms OF
which there are four in number (being
|, 2, 3, and of the building) are util-
lied as follows one which is the corner
one is the waiting or reception room,
while next to it, but in a separate room
is the operating chair and all the neces-
sary equipments Of the latest and most
approved character for the successful
performance Of dental work, the other
two being on the opposite side of the
waiting room are for another dental
chair in the one, and the other, for his
laboratory. The main feature of these
offices may be said to be In the way
they are arranged so that a person while
waiting, how vbgkqj XztiflfflB Bltu;B1B

not be in any way thrown in connection
with the party having an operation per-
formed, as each apartment can be en-
tered from the main hall of the build
ing.
