tribute to his father that Joe, Jr.

in the medical profession. DR..
Hooper, one of the most eminent
surgeons and greatly beloved ply
sicians in the southland, came to
Wilmington from Baltimore over
thirty years ago-married one Of

dark, and handsome with a soft
spoken manner which is sure to
inspire confidence in ais patients
to-be, and SLIGHTLY OFF THE

native son, with pardonable pride,
a future comparable to that of his
highly successful father.
