HOOTON IS PRAISED BY ALEX CITY OUTLOOK ---------------------------- During the past week two former Tallapoosa county boys who have made good in their adopted homes have been in Alexander City. They are Prof. Herman L. UPSHAW, superintendent of public schools, and Robt. J. HOOTON, a well known attorney in Roanoke. [Praise for Professor Herman L. UPSHAW copied separately] [Obscured name] HOOTON, as he is known to his friends, was raised near Hackneyville and lived there until manhood when he moved to Roanoke and began the practice of law. Mr. HOOTON has been very successful since going to Roanoke and has accumulated considerable property and built up a splendid practice. Both men have done much to reflect credit upon their native county [Tallapoosa]. —[Originally published in the] Alexander City Outlook [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 6 January 1915, p.1]
