Notes - Another addition to Big Sandy's list of growing business men is the arrival in this city of Dr. C.N. Alkire, M.D.C., who has signified his intention of making this city his home and engage in the practice of Veterinary medicine and surgery in this locality.
The doctor comes here after the practice of several years in North Dakota where he assisted the State authorities in their car of live stock and after graduating from the reputable Chicago school, has had actual training before coming to Big Sandy. The field here is a large one and live stock, like human beings are not always in good health and we bespeak a lucrative practice for him.
