DR. TENNET L. CALHOUN. - Our issue of Saturday morning announced the death of this promising young physician. The sad event transpired in this city at 12 o'clock on Friday the 3d instant. His disease was fever of a typho malarial type. He was first attacked some three or four weeks prior to his death, and was carefully attended by Drs. Egan and Billiu and conducted safely through to what seemed to be convalescence. Dr. Calhoun, however, naturally anxious to resume his practice, upon which his living depended, evidently exerted himself prematurely and beyond his powers, bringing on the virulent relapse which carried him off in a very few days, indeed before many of his friends learned of his second attack. He died peacefully, calmly and painlessly and was borne to his last resting place by the hands of his brother physicians, who laid him away in one of the most attractive spots in our cemetery. The funeral service of his church (the Episcopalian) was pronounced over his grave by the Rev. Dr. Dalzell, who had likewise ministered him on his sick and dying bed.

Dr. Calhoun was born in Abbeyville, S. C. in the year 1854, and was therefore 29 years of age. He was graduated in medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1881, and was a grand nephew of South Carolina's great statesman, Jno. C. Calhoun whose memory is fresh in the minds of the people.

The Doctor came to Shreveport last December, and settled for the practice of his profession. His uniformly and urbane manners and accommodating spirit had made for him many personal friends, while his well equipped mind and professional enthusiasm gave promise, had he lived, of a very successful career as a physician. But the great Orderer of our ways had decreed otherwise and he has been taken, in the fullness and strength of his manhood and upon the threshold of his professional life. He leaves an aged mother, two brothers and several sisters to mourn his early death. To them we extend our sympathy in this the hour of their bereavement.
