     Mr. James Atkinson died at the home of his son-in-law, John H. Hallford, in this city. Monday night, aged 89 years. Mr. Atkinson had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Hallford for several years — had been delicate and confined to his room for some time past, quietly passing away Monday night.
