The Huntsville Weekly Democrat January 18, 1882
PERSONALS

Capt. Grant, formerly Chief Engineerer of the M. & C, R. R., passed through 
Huntsville, last week, from his Texas sheep ranch, dressed in a navy blue 
shirt and otherwise Texan costume.

Capt. Pegram, of the M. & C. R. R., was in town last Friday.

Chancellor Graham, having completed the January Term of the Madison Chancery 
Court, has gone to Scottsboro to hold the Chancery Court there.

Dr. Samuel J. Withers, of Mooresville, was in Huntsville yesterday and to-day.

Thos. H. McAllister, the accommodating Western Union Telegraph operator in 
this city, has been confined to his room for a week or two past by 
indisposition.  Miss Parks, of Hopkinsville, is now manipulating the wires in 
his stead.  We hope he will soon be at this post again.

Mrs. Geo. P.  Beirne, Misses Eliza Gray and Jane Beirne, and Mrs. Wm. H. 
Echols returned from New York last Saturday.

Mrs. Turner Clanton is visiting her father, Gov. Chapman, and other relatives 
in this city.

We understand that D. D. Shelby, Esq., has gone to Washington, and Paul L. 
Jones, Esq., will go there shortly, to represent Lowe in his contest for Gen. 
Wheeler’s seat in Congress.


DEATHS

Death of Miss Bessie Hopkins
We, in common with many North Alabama friends, regret to hear of the death of 
Miss Bessie Hopkins, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Eliza Hopkins, in 
Nashville, on Friday last, after two days’ illness from a sudden attack of 
paralysis.  She was a young lady of fine intellect and one of the best of 
daughters.  Her bereaved relatives have our sincere sympathy.


LOCAL NEWS

We are sorry to hear the Mr. John W. Campbell’s kitchen, near Whitesburg, 
caught fire, one night last week, and was consumed, together with his dining-
room and smoke-house adjoining, dining-room furniture, and, also 2,000 lbs. of 
meat, belonging to him and his son-in-law.
