A notice announces a State Convention of Infirmary Directors to meet in Columbus on September 8 for consultation. The funeral of ex President Johnson occurred in Greenville Tennessee Tuesday at 11 oclock with the casket plate engraved Andrew Johnson aged sixty seven. Those railing against party control are deemed unreliable and moralized as indecisive, while fifty thousand Republicans in this state who abstained in two recent elections are urged to vote on October 12 to set affairs right.
