The many Lakeland friends of Capt. W. H. Johnson were pained to learn of his death, which occurred Monday morning at Bartow after an illness of several weeks during which time he was surrounded by every medical care and attention that science could suggest all being to no avail. The funeral, which oc- curred Tuesday afternoon, was probably the largest attended of any ever taking place in Bartow, every store and office being closed out of respect to this honored man. All of the ministers of the city officiated at the funeral, paying their last re- spects to ‘this grand old man. Besides hig wife, Capt. Johnson is survived by seven children, two sons, J. A. and L. C. Johnson and five daughters, Mrs. H. V. Mur- daugh, of Columbia, 8. C.; Mrs. F. 'L. Glennan, of Little Rock, 8. C.; {Mrs. W. H. Small, of Arizona; .Mrs. George Johnson, of South Car- olina, and Mrs. John Howe, of Bar. tow . The deceased was born in Geor- gia, near Savannah, in 1839, mov- ing to this State when he was quite a young man. His first wife was he mother of all hig children. He was married to his second wife (who was Miss Munsey, of Chattanooga, Tenn.) about twenty-five years age, Coming to this State in its pioneer days, Mr. Johnson was identified with the development of South Flor- ida, encouraging every worthy en- terprise. He was thrice elected clerk of the circuit court, where he served the people faithfully. Mr. Johnson was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and a regular attendant to the ser. vices. He wag a Confederate vet- eran. Altogether, Mr. Johnson was a man of rare graces of character, en~ dearing himself not only to his fam. ily but to hosts of friends, by his tender spirit of sympathy and cor- diality. ‘The rains have interfered 4!(}: the size of the congregations at- tending the special services at the First Presbyteria church, but they have not dampened the earnestness and enthusiasm of the speaker.

LOOKS LIKE SUCESSFUL { PROHIBITION | | Another big brewing company to' €0 under is the Hoster-Columbus | Breweries of Ohio, & $12,000,000 corporation. By order of the Unit ed States district court it is in the hands of a receiver. A statement issued by the company gives.as the ' cause, “Decreased demand for hm-r,} adverse legislation, and the voting! dry of many States and counties m; The crown- | ing blow, it says, “came in the loss | of West Virginia, where we did a business of nearly $500,000 a year to say nothing of old Virginia's vot. ing dry, to go into effect in 1916." | A CHEERING SIGN Nation-wide prohibition is be- coming a popular subject for debate in our colleges, Yale and Syracuse | being the latest to measure oratory. It has been stated that although less than two per cent’'of the men of America go through college, it is from thig two per cent that the na-. tion draws 7,700 of its 10,000 lead-. ers in, all walks ofl ife. Hence the awakening interest of young men college students in the liquor prob- lem is one of the many cheering in- dications of the better time near at hand. John Barleycorn’s grip upon our universities is being loosened and henceforward we may look for an increasing number of prohibition | leaders among college graduates.
