Mr.. Campell Johnson, an old
resident of Iron county, who lives
near the Reynolds county line, fell
dead out of his chair Saturday

Branch. He was an honest, up
right, Christian man, a believer in
the "hard- shell" Baptist faith, of
which church he was a member,
and lived strictly up to it's teach
ings. May he rest in peace! De-
ceased leaves a widow and three
sons to mourn the loss of a good
husband and father.
