Major Johnstons life, until within "A

OF great value 10 the Confedeiacy. He
entered the army at the beginning and
remained with II to the END.

the war Major Johnston was engaged
in mercantile life here. and conducted
a large wholesale grocery business. He
was for years closely connected as di-
rector with the old Southside railroad, the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad,
and subsequently with the successor
OF these-the Norfolk and Western rail-
way. 10 him, possibly, more than to any
other person. was due the success Of
the consolidation OF the railway system
from Norfolk 20 Bristol, and 10 him was
entrusted the delicate and difficult task
Of funding the bonds and stocks of the
three roads composing the system. This.
he accomplished with signal success.
During General MahOne's presidency Of
the road Major Johnston was one OF his
most confidential advisers.
Major Johnston served in the Common
Council before the war, and for several
terms after the war was elected TO the
Office OF City Sergeant. lie made for
