Hickey, Joseph Brooks and w. B. Dickson

Brooks, on The other hand, favors the en-

lieves English plays to be played out,

short bridal tour, reached the city yesterday
and innatad ut The Paahodv Mrs Waod ia
cousin to Mrs. Hugh A. Hamilton. of this
city, was a great favorite in New Orleans,
her former home, and will no doubt be cor
daily welcomed by the fashionable circles of
Memphis, TO which she is'a bright and bril-
liant accession. We hope the bride will
meet with reception in Memphis from her
new friends which will soon subdue her at
tachment for the old home. No man is bet
ter or more fsyorably known In Memphis
than Mr. Jacob NJ. Wood. He has great
business capacity, and is member Of the
firm Of S. Mansfield & Co., one of the largest
wholesale drug and medicine houses in the
South. This happy eouple-happy in their
surroundings and all the promises Of bright
future, enter upon welded lie with the
blessings OF as many friends as ever a bride
and groom had the privilege and honor of
claiming.
LIZ n n LA OhEHCEs WIZ HAS EO lung
been in charge of the City Hospital, will to-
morrow give place TO his successor, DIR. John
E. Black. Never did an official retire with
i cleaner record than Dr.. Laurence. His
recent report shows how much he has saved
the city by wise economy and faithful
discharge OF his official duties. 1t is not too
much to say that no man in 80 short pc
riod ever won brighter reputation for ex-
ecutive ability, integrity and efficiency. He
goes out of the City Hospital with record
that any man might be proud of,
standing as he does high in public esteem
as gentleman OF great executive capacity,
uprightness, and courage in the discharge of
what he regards as right. We do not know
that DIR. Laurence will return to the practice
of the profession which he adorns. We pre-
sumo most of his time will be occupied in
looking after his large pecuuiary interests in
the street railroad and otherwise. But what
ever may be his pursuits in life he will have
the confidence OF the Memphie public, for
he has made an enviable reputation while in
charge of the City Hospital. He retires
from Office brave, firm, clever and accom-
plished gentleman, and in the meridian of
splendid manhood, with every faculty alive
and great energy of character, he will con-
tinue to be the ideal of the useful citizen.
