Hookworm
. Dr. Shirley, of Winchester
a member of the State Board of
Health, was at the; Court House
in Richmond on April 12, in
structing the people on the ques
tion of hookworm. He made his
lectures very entertaining and
instructive. . This campaign
against the worm will be waged
unrelentingly in Madison. The
fiscal unirt has interested itself
and the health board is co-operating
in the movement.
The cuts and chotos taken fmm

scourge rapidly spreads and the
horrible, blighting effects on mind
and body. No false mnHptv
should deter one from taking
treatment The same is so sim

The March number of the
Michigan Law Review and Cali
fornia Law Review contains
lengthy and ably written articles
by A. N. Whitlock, of Massoula,
Montana.
, Mr. Whitlock is a son of Tyne
Whitlock, of Baldwin, this coun
ty. He attended the Caldwell
High School in this city and af
terwards graduated from, the
Kentucky State University, then
attended Harvard University Law
School from which he graduated
with the honors of his class. He
is now practicing law in Massou
la, Montana, and he is also an
instructor ancj, lecturer in the Law
Department of the Montana
State University.
This young man is not yet
thirty years old, yet he has at
tained such eminence in his chos
en profession that he has already
been recognized as a writer of
ability on subjects pertaining to
the law. His article in the Cali
fornia Law Review is on the
"Law of Trusts" and the one in
the Michigan Law Review is
"Declaration in the Course of
Duty."
Lawyers of , our local bar say
that these articles not only pos
sess merit and demonstrate the
abiliy of the writer, but they show
that the young man is climbing
to the top in the legal profession
when he is able to have his writ
ings sought and accepted by such
high-class publications as the
Law Reviews of the States of
Michigan and California. Madi
son county is proud of such a
son and expects to continue to
hear from him.
