In its early stages tick bite fever
may resemble measles, influenza, ty-

important that a doctor be called
whenever suspicious symptoms de-

posed to ticks. The presence of the
disease can be confirmed by labora-

AS District Judge


same university. Since then he has
practiced law in Accomac, following
service in the World war, and was
commemorative attorney for two
terms. For the past three terms he
has represented his district in the
state senate. An able and prominent
attorney, Senator Walter is regarded
as exceptionally qualified for the
judgeship.
On the death of Judge John E. Not
tingham May %, the fact was certi-
fled to the Supreme court and that
body in turn certified the necessity
of a Judge for the 3lst district to
Governor. Darden., This procedure is
necessary under law, inasmuch as
there has been some reduction of the
number of judges and the consolida-
ton of districts. However, the 31st
district, on account of its isolation,
is regarded as essential, and the GER
LITIGATION was a foregone conclusion.
