One Of the Fathers.

A few days since a representative
OF 1.-THE CITIZEN paid visit to the
venerable John Johnston. probably
the oldest resident of Giles county.
Mr.. Johnston wss born In Char
lotte county, Virginia, 18th April
1870, the day that the renowned
philosopher, Benjamin Franklin
died. He came to Giles county
from Virginia in 1888 and settled
on an unimproved spot about one
mile west of the present site of
Wales station. In a short time he
purchased of his brother a farm
adjoining and removed all his eff
fects TO this eligible spot, where he
has lived and labored forty seven
years. Although Mr.. Johnston has
experienced the vicissitudes of for
tune, and felt the effects of the war,
which deprived him of great deal
of property, he has still enough of
this worlds goods left to reader his
old age comfortable. From his
youth up he has been a Jealous
member of the Primative Baptist
church and has lived a most exem
plary life, and one worthy Of being
held up to the rising generation as
an example. He is fine type OF
that hardy stock which hewed away
the forests and blazed path for
civilization-one of the few living
representatives of a race of men
whose heroic traits we should en-
deavor to emulate. We trust he
may be spared for many years to
come to give US the benefit of his
example.
