of Joe Johnson to this club, and the
splendid service which he rendered

During the twelve months which

ports as well as routine work of the
club, brought us in almost daily con-

Rotary was first in all of his duties.

Mrs. Johnson has been one of us
since our official installation; her

our souls, her counsel with US has lead
us to high and noble aspirations, in
the departure of Mr.. and Mrs. John

not alone in the loss, but the entire
community feels and suffers a distinct
loss. We congratulate Lakeland, Flor
