ailla, has cast his lot with us.
He comes to us highly recon-
mended as gentleman and
physician. He moved from Lex
ington two year ago to Willailla,
and already has wide and fav-
orable acquaintance over this
county. He was born and rear
ed in Pulaski county and after
graduating in the public schools
there he took a course in
Georgetown college, and then
entered the Medical department
Of the University of Louisville,
where he graduated with honors
IN 1912, aud after taking a Post
Graduate course in New York
City he returned home and has
always enjoyed lucrative prac
tice. He is in accord with all
the ethics of his profession and
we bespeak for him success in
his new field of labor. Prof J.

hundred, yet he says he will come

as soon as he can learn the amount
of subscriptions that was taken
thru the L. H. & St. L. Rail Road,
the Big Four, Texas Pacific, the
Iron Mountain and two or three
other banking institutions, but
we are sure this problem is taxing
his algebra education to its
limit. How many Red Cross
