Rev. Mr. Scott handed us last week an
obituary of some length OF Rev. D. C.
Gregory, of Fayctte county, father of 9. w.
Gregory of this place, which we had noticed
some time previous. We were unable TO
get Mr.. Scot,'s article in type last week,
and inasnuch as il has since appeared in
another of our county papers, We scarcely
deem it worth while Mt this late date to
copy. We will only add one point omitted
by Mr.. Scott, The deceased was both
preacher and n physician and in the latter
capacity was for some time partner of
DR.. Blakemore, formerly of this place.
We were agreeably surprised one day
last week by call from Jay. e. Hunter.
Esq, of the law firm of Dunn 81 Hunter,
Los Angeles, Gal. Everybody knows him
here. He left San Antonio couple of
years or so since in quite poor health. He
is now looking very well, and is prospecting
IN California. The fact that he was invited
to partnership by Hon PoindeXter Dunn
an ex-M. O. from Arkansas, and distin-
guished as lawyer and politician, is the
best evidence of his standing rs n lawyer
He came, MS we understand, via San Fran
CISCO which he said had been colder this
winter than New York. The SHOWS in the
Sierras were fearful, nearly over the tele-
graph poles, aud Deople had to use snow
shoes in locomotion. We had quite an
interview of an hour or two
with Mr.. II. in regard to paoplo and things
within our mutual knowledge. He had |
spent some time in Northern Texas, and |
expressed the decided opinion that Dallas |
Is the coming city of our state. We wish
md predlctfor our agreeable and gentleman.
~ young friend continued success.
