The Huntsville Weekly Democrat February 22, 1882
PERSONAL MENTION:

Hon. John D. Rather, Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives in 1853-
4, and President of the Alabama Senate in 1880-81, was in Huntsville on Monday 
last.  He is one of many worthy Democrats suggested for our next Governor.

Hon. H. C. Jones, Solicitor for this Circuit, was in our city on Monday, but 
left for Florence Monday night.

Mr. A. F. Murray returned from Cincinnati Monday night.

Mr. W. P. McClung and his charming and accomplished wife were in our city 
yesterday.

The jovial, jocular, yet shrewd and sensible, Wm. G. Rowe, of Triana, is on 
the jury for this week.

Rev. Dr. Bryson will postpone his lecture, intended to be given next Friday 
night, to some indefinite time, on account of the protracted meeting at the 
Methodist Church.

Miss Mary L. Clay has gone to “Wildwood,” the residence of Mrs. C. C. Clay, 
near Gurleysville, Ala.

Thos. H. McAllister, long the telegraph operator here, has been transferred to 
the Memphis office.  We believe he left for Memphis last night. – We wish him 
well at his new post.

Mr. Ernest Karthaus, an excellent citizen, watchmaker and jeweler, of 
Huntsville, has become mentally deranged.  It developed, unmistakably, on 
Sunday last.  His physician, Dr. Goldman, says it is acute mania, and he has 
become violent.  He and his family have many sympathizing friends in this 
great calamity.

Miss Johnnie Winter has returned home from St. Louis, Mo.

We regret to state that the venerable Dr. Ross has been seriously ill for more 
than a week, but are glad to add that his condition is better to-day.
