The series was set in 1960s southern U.S., so naturally there was a town drunk. What was the name of this inebriated Mayberrian, played by Hal Smith?

Otis Campbell worked as a glue dipper in a furniture factory and was a drunk during the weekend. He appeared on the show from 1960 to 1967, but eventually stopped showing up toward the end of the series because some of the sponsors expressed concerns about depicting the abuse of alcohol.
