Dr. J. H. Crozier died at bis

Doctor Crozier had been in declin

Dr. Crozier was a graduate of
the Medical Department of the Uni
versity of Georgia in the class of
1876. Dr. W. B. Standifer, of Blake
ly, was also a member of this class
and is perhaps the last surviving
member.
Dr. Crozier was united in marriage
to Miss Martha E. Hudspeth on the
7th day of February, 1878. He is
survived by his wife; by tw r o sons,
Dr. Gordon T. Crozier of Valdosta
and Capt. John H. Crozier, Jr., of
the U. S. army, now stationed at
Washington, D. C., and two daugu
ters, Mrs. Nell C. Golden of Cedar
Springs and Mrs. Nannie E. Powell
of Cairo, Ga.
The interment took place Tuesday
afternoon at the cemetery at Cedar
Springs, services being conducted by
Rev. Claude Bridges of Donalson
ville and Rev. J. G. Corley of Colo
mokee.
The active pall bearers were
Messrs. G. E. Pyle, J. S. Pyle, J.
W. Martin, O H. Perry, J. L. Per
ry and Frank Kelley. Honorary pall
bearers included Dr. W. B. Standi
fer, Dr. C. R. Barksdale, Dr. P. H.
Fitzgerald and Dr. J. G. Standifer,
of Blakely.
His bereaved loved ones have the
sympathy of a wide circle of
friends in the sorrow which has
come into their home circle. But
they mourn not as those without
hope, for the departed husband and
father left abundant record of his
faith in Jesus in his upright life and
his service to his fellow men.

OPENING FOOTBALL
GAME HERE FRIDAY
Shellman Hi Comes to Tackle Blakely
Hi in Opening Game.
The opening game of the football
season in Blakely will start with the
referee’s whistle tomorrow (Friday)
at 3:30 p. m. on the campus of the
Blakely high school.
The football squad of the Shell
man High School will endeavor to
get revenge for the three defeats
administered to them by the outfit
representing the Blue and Gold of
past seasons. There is so far no
dope on the Shellman team. It is
not known how many men they lost
or their prospects for the year.
Blakely lost more than half of her
1922 team by graduation and the
’23 gridiron squad will be rather
light. What they lack in might
they hope to make up in speed
and fight. They will give a good
account of themselves.
The people of Blakely are urged
to come out to the school grounds
tomorrow evening and help back up
the home boys and see a good
game besides.
The following is the prospective
line-up for Blakely Hi:
L. E. —Westbrook, Cox.
L,. T. —Allen, W., Chandler.
L,. G.—Barksdale, Cohen.
C. —Bush.
R. G. —Allen, C.
R. T. —Chatfield, Fields.
R. E.- —Howell, Yarbrough.
Q. —Boyett, Hammack.
L. H. B. —Stegall, Allen, B.
R. H. B. —Tarver.
F. B. —Hutchins.
The paving program for Blakely is
nearing completion. The side walk
l on the west side of South Main
street and out Flowers Drive to
the Hardwood Mill has been com
pleted. Cuthbert street is being
slowly opened for tratfie and the
grading preparatory to laying side
walks is being done. With good
weather the construction company
hopes to complete all paving pros
