Campbell Dead Mr. J.H. Campbell, proprietor and manager of the Macon Telegraph, died at his home in Macon Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock of Bright’s disease. Jim Campbell, as he was commonly known all over the state was born in Macon, March 21, 1840. He was in the late war with the Macon volunteers and was badly wounded at the battle of Miner’s Run in Virginia in June 1863. After the war he went into business at Albany, Ga. and stayed there three years, when he came to Macon, where he has been ever since. He first went into business here with H.T. Johnson and B.C. Smith; afterward with J.B. English, and then for himself. In later years he has been connected with several enterprises among them the Macon Electric Light company, the Georgia Construction company, who are building the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, and the Macon Telegraph, for the last of which he has done more in the few months he has had charge than anyone else in its lifetime. Macon has lost a good and useful citizen in the death of Mr. Campbell, but the Telegraph is the greatest loser.
