Dr. Samuel W. Thompson.

A former citizen of this place, died at Fort Myers, Fla., on the 26th, ult. We believe that Dr. Thompson was originally from South Carolina. We have heard him speak of residing at Clarksville, Ga. He was for many years a resident of Canton, Ga., and represented Cherokee county in the legislature probably forty years ago. He located in this place several years before the war, and remained until five or six years ago. He followed the practice of medicine from his early manhood up to the time he left here. He was a very bright Mason, and presided over the Cartersville Lodge for several years.
