Lawrence Watkins, Jr., has sold his residence, in this city, to Gen. Ad. White, and intends to move to Birmingham, where, we hear, he and his brother, Rob’t H. Watkins, purpose to start a newspaper. We hear, too, that he has resigned his office as Superintendent of Education for Madison County. We regret his removal from Huntsville, and wish him and his family health, happiness and prosperity in their new home. Rob’t H. Watkins, the able Editor of the Franklin, Tenn., Progress, was in our city yesterday. Gen. Ed. A. O’Neal and his son, Emmet O’Neal, were here, on Monday and Tuesday last, on professional business. On Monday last, we formed a pleasant acquaintance, in our sanctum, with Rev. Mr. Rutledge, one of the editors of that excellent paper, the Christian Advocate, of Birmingham. Mrs. Gabriel Jordan, of Houston, Texas, reached Huntsville last night, on a few days’ visit to the family of J. Withers Clay. We deeply regret to learn, from a letter of Bishop Wilmer to Rev. Dr. Banister, that his health is bad. God grant that he may be spared many years yet, to live and labor in the cause of Christ! We rejoice to learn that Wm. B. Banister, a son of Rev. Dr. Banister, has passed the best examination in all branches of medical study at the “Hospital Medical College,” of Louisville, Ky., and, thereby, has won the scholarship for the Spring session of that Institution. Dr. J. Munro Banister, Surgeon in the U. S. Army and son of Rev. Dr. Banister, of this city, spent several days here, last week, on a visit to his parents. Mr. Ernest Karthaus, whose sudden derangement we announced last week, was taken, a day or two ago, to the Alabama Insane Asylum by his brother, who arrived here last week. MARRIED: SCHIFFMAN – KOHN. – At Evansville, Ind., by Rev. F. Vidaker, according to the Jewish form, Feb. 22, 1882, MR. DANIEL SCHIFFMAN, of this city, was married to MISS FLORA KOHN, daughter of Mrs. Adeline Kohn, of Evansville. The Evansville Journal gives a glowing account of the business qualities, honorable character and kindly heart of the bridegroom; of the amiable and lovely disposition and personal charms of the fair bride; of the brilliant surroundings, including the bride’s rich toilet, the ornamentation of the house, the handsome presents, the supper, and the brilliant company present. – The happy couple got home yesterday, and received the congratulations of many friends. May their lives be long and happy! COOPER – WINTER. – At the Church of the Nativity, Huntsville, Alabama, March 1, 1882, at 5:30 p. m., by Rev. Dr. J. M. Banister, JOSEPH E. COOPER to MISS JOHNGELINE WINTER, daughter of the late James F. Winter, of Columbus, Ga. Long life, happiness and prosperity to the young couple! DIED: BOONE. – In Huntsville, Ala., February 26, 1881, of typhoid fever, SALLIE A. BOONE, daughter of O. C. and Josie E. Boone, in the 8th year of her age. Sallie was a bright, beautiful child, and a Christian, according to her years. “Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” BRISTOL. – At the Stegall Hotel, Huntsville, Ala., Feb. 28, 1882, of typhoid fever, PROF. J. Y. BRISTOL. During his few weeks’ stay in our city, Prof. Bristol won the respect and confidence of our people by his Christian walk and conversation. His wife has made many friends here, who sympathize deeply with her, in affliction. LOCAL ITEMS Lenten Services ---------- The services at the Church of the Nativity, Huntsville, during Lent, will be as follows: Service and Lecture on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4:30 p. m.; on Wednesday and Fridays at 11 a. m.; and at 11 a. m.; every day of Holy Week. J. M. BANISTER, Rector H. McLean, representing the Great Globe Carriage Works, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is here with a lot of fine Buggies, which he offers at exceedingly low prices. Call, at once, at the store of JAS. E. SEAT & SON, if you with to buy. ALABAMA ITEMS Dr. Brock stated when here a few days ago that the Gordon Brothers had given him permission to construct a $75,000 tannery at Decatur. Florence Gazette Florence News, Feb. 15: “Messrs. G. W. Foster and Joe Tate, left Thursday night, for the Mississippi bottom, with about 75 negroes. The exodus from this county is so great that in a short time the Greenbackers and Republicans will have no following at all except the very few white men who have continued to hold out against the Democracy.“ Last of Dixie White Cases in Supreme Court ---------- We are informed that the Supreme Court of Alabama has affirmed Judge Richardson’s rulings in the cases of the State of Alabama vs. Henry Barnard and Jere. Murphy, charged with gaming. These were a part of the famous “Dixie White cases,” but, in addition to the points made in the other cases presented, the plea of former conviction was interposed by the defendants. So, it now seems, “after the smoke and din of battle has passes away,” that Judge Richardson was right in all his rulings in these cases, according to the judgment of the highest judicial tribunal in our State.
