  Robertson, Prof., training quarters proves a great attraction to entertaining so many visitors from Bay St. Louis last Sunday.  Prof. Robertson is as courteous and nice as he can be, and, this alone, aside from the sparring attraction, is a sufficient inducement for the visitors to return to Waveland.  (SCE 02/04/1893)

 

  Robertson, Prof., has determined to sell his property at Waveland and remove his Institute for Physical Culture to some suitable location in Louisiana, where the laws do not prohibit the healthful training of the body on scientific principles.  The places that have so long known the famous professors of the manly art will know them no more, and the hygienic attributes of Bay St. Louis and vicinity will lose a lot of free advertising. Prof. Robertson has a very advantageous engagement at Chicago, whither he will go shortly, returning to this city after the World's Fair is a matter of history merely.  (SCE 05/27/1893)  see: Circuit Court article (SCE 10/28/1893)

Mr. Rohmer served for years in the Virginia army, was one of the Mobile cadets and his was the first company that left the South to engage in war turmoil and strife.  He is the possessor of a pretty home, fine grounds and a fine orchard.  He has quite an apiary, now having 25 stands of bees all in  excellent condition  (SCE 05/20/1893)
