Big Sandy Boy hOnOred.

We are always glad to publish the
iacts about any distinction won by
A Big Sandy boy away from his ma
dive heath. The last instance Of
this kind that has come to our no
lice is the case of L. S. Hayes, OF
Adams, this county, son OF the late
Mart Hays. He will graduate in
next month from medical school
in Louisville, after having taken a
four years course. He is vice presi-
dent OF the graduating class. Also,
he has held during all this term the
sOvateg position known as book
agent for the college. After giving
heavy bond to the various pub
iishers Of medical works, he is furn-
lshed with stock OF books suffi-
,ient TO supply the demands Of the
,ollege and the students purchase
from him. He gets a commission OF
the sales and 1t amounts to consid-
s.able sum. Scott is not only a
bright and studious young man, but
ais trustworthiness Is so apparent
as TO impress those with whom he
zones in contact.
