Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Meacombs, Miss Alice Hinton and Miss Nancy HInton of Middlesex were in the city Friday. Mr. Meacombs told us of a sad occurrence in his town Tuesday night when his lifelong friend, Dr. L.J. Johnson, a dentist of Columbia, who with his wife was visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson of Middlesex, shot and killed himself. No reason is known for the deed, although Dr. Johnson had seemed depressed for some time. He was married about a year ago to Miss Lucy Snell of Columbia. The deceased was about 30 years of age.
