The Atlanta (Ga) Consultation saws that
Mr. Johnston, a grocer on Marietta street, is
in some respects one of the most remarkable
men in Georgia. In the first place he is a
remarkable specimen of physical manhood,
being six feet four inches high, and though
6fty-ive years old as strong and active as
most men of thirty. He is a second cousin
of Gen Joseph Z. Johnston, and was in the
Confederate service with the rank OF captain.
As the father of family Mr.. Johnston pre-
sents a truly remarkable record. He has
been married only once and his wife is now
living and in excellent health. By Mr.. |
Johnston she has had twenty-five children,
the Youngest OF whom is a baby now. OF |
the twenty-two all except ons ls now living, |
and all are well formed, healthy specimens. |
A happier family cannot be found in the |
CITY of Atlanta They all bear a striking |
family resemblance. Mr.. Johnston, had he |
lived in ancient Rome, would by this time |
been entitled to several pensions according
to their laws, which began TO reward pater- |
nifty when eight children were born, and |
continued benefits in increasing proportion |
as the family grew. Mrs. Johnston would |
certainly have won the praise of Napoleon,
who, when Nine. de Stael, thinking of her
self, asked him "who was the noblest woman
in France, replied: "She who bears the
most Sons for her defense" The Johnstons
are a most notable couple.
