Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1874-02-01
PERSONAL.

DIR. DoTY has decided to remain in
Memphis, and has opened an office at 2S Sec
| Ond street.
WE regret to announce the death of
| Mr.. Decatur J. Doyle, which occurred last
night at the Peabody hotel. He was junior
| Doyle, and was highly esteemed by a large
circle Of friends, who will mourn his early
demise,
Mr.. HARRISON, who will be remem-
bered as for "a long time prescription clerk
with DR.. Potter, has purchased the store of
the late q. d. Johnson, corner of Poplar
street and carroll avenue, and will hereafter
be found there by his friends. For their es-
pecial benefit we publish the fact, that they
may be able to come up literally and at once
to his support. Mr.. Harrison Is a young man
characterized by perseverance and Industry
and by all of those with whom he has hereto
fore been employed is highly esteemed for his
good qualities. We are glad he has embarked
in the world for himself, and predict for him
unbounded success. He is thoroughly con-
versant with his business, and may be relied
upon by the general public to respond to calls
at any hour, and to make prescriptions they
can rely on.
THE card of Mr.. T. S. Ayres, long
one of the leading members of the bar of our
city, appears in another column. In calling
attention TO it We know we violate q rule
which lawyers Of his standing do not like to
transgress, but we cannot fofbear the oppor-
tunity IL affn~Is us of testifying to his high
position in -sw and in the social ranks of
Memphis EeW men have had q more ex-

was many years ago member of the Missis-
sippi legislature, when that State occupied
position of great prominence by reason OF her
public men, and was then regarded among
the leaders OF his party. His standing then
as a lawyer was in the front rank, and his
practice as extensive as that OF any man of
his time. He has gained, and lost nothing
since, and we hope, in renewing fully his re-
lattons with the courts, he will be as emf
nently successful as during any period Of his
life.
WE are Glad IN learn that Mr.
Carl Gutherz, the well-known artist, will re-
receive a warm welcome. some weeks ago,
as we learn from the st. Paul Pioneer, he for
warded photographs Of his painting of Min
nehaha falls, and others Of his works, to the
distinguished poet, Professor Henry w. Long
fellow. For these Mr.. Gutherz received the
following letter OF acknowledgment, and nat
urally feels extremely gratifed at the receipt
of such graceful communication from so
eminent source:
CAMBRIDGE, January 10, 1874.
"MY DEAR SIR have had the pleasure OF
receiving your letter, and the beautiful photo
graphs YOU were kind enough to send me, and
beg youIto pardon my long delay in thanking
you for them. have been suffering with a
bad cold, which has 80 much affected my eyes
that writing is difficult and painful.
81 am much pleased with the pictures,
though feel, as you do, how much they lose
by wanting color. This is particularly .the
case with AtOGkening Spring, which in design
is so fanciful and poetical.
"Begging you TO accept my best thanks for
your great kindness, and with my b9st wishes
for your success in your fsvorite and fascinNt-
ing art, am, my dear sir, yours truly,
"HENRY w. LONGFEGLOW.
