words of the highest praise and CON-

which is inestimable, interspersed
with witty sayings and appropriate
music. Mr.. Johnson was also included
in the many encomiums which the
friends were each and all eager to
bestow, and received his share of
praise as citizen of the highest type
and greatly valued member of the

final touch to which was given when,
just before the satisfying repast, which
had been prepared principally by Sis
