P&Ofc* R. J: STROZIER
DIES AT EAST HI AN
. WAS FORMERLY SUPERINTEND,
py, ENT OF SCHOOLS HERE—WAS
GREATLY LOVED. ,
Vienna was shocked and saddened
I Sunday afternoon when a telegram
■brought t&e information that Prof. R.
I J. Strozier was dead at his home in
fEastman. \
Mr. Strozier was for four years su
perintendent of the public schools
| here, filling the position with dignity
I and efficiency, and during that time
[ establishing for himself a high place
tin the esteem and affection of those
(with whom he was associated. There
| is no higher tribute that can be paid
noble man than to say that he
(was a true gentleman in all that the
| word implies. He was that rare type
of man in whom is combined honesty,
[ temperance, Christianity, gentleness
[and courage, together with a rare
sense of humor which made his com
panionship delightful.
His life was devoted to educrtional
pork and he used the opportunity
bus given him to build for himself a
Flasling monument in the lives of the
i many boys and girls who came under j
f his influence.
There is, a peculiar significance in
the fact that the Master whom he
served ao faithfully in life saw fit to
call him at the time and in the man-
i nor He J.d. The message of death
came to him just as he finished de-
■ livering a message of love and truth
from God’s word to a class of men
and women who were taught by him
each Sunday morning. There'was on
ly a momentary suffering and his spir
it was transported to eternity.
S- Jlis remains were interred at Mc-
! Tuesday afternoon, the presence
Jolla large concourse of sorrowing
/ friends attesting the esteem in which
’ he was hold.

MARY RANSOM, NEGRO WOMAN,
CIVEN IS YEARS FOR KILLING
STEP-FATHER x
Soon after the first report came
that the United States had suffered a
tragedy at sea, there came another
message announcing the probability
of a Dooly boy being among those
who perished. For several days no
authentic information could be ob
tained relative to Mr. Peacock and
his relatives and friends had almost
despaired of receiving news of him,
when a telegram announcing his safe
ty was received.
Mr. Peacock was reared' iri this
county, being- the youngest son of
Mrs. S; B. Peacock, whq resides Yfatb
her son in law, Mr. J. R. C. Lane,
several miles epst of this city.
Mr. Peacock has been in service
since October, 1917, and before sail
ing for France was located at Camp
Travis, Texas. \
AUTO SALESMAN ENLISTS
C. W. Morgan, salesman in the em
ploy of the Schlecht Motor Sales
Company, passed the examinations
necessary for enlistment in the avia
tion .section aa a pilot yesterday at
the Memphis station. He wqb placed
on the inactive list and will undergo
an operation before entering train
ing school.
He' has been a resident of Mem
phis for the past four years, coming
here from, Atlanta, Ga. Previous to
his connection with the Schlecht Mo

Mr. Morgan is well known hore be

H. J. Morgan.
Judge Henderson, local food ad
ministrator has received and distrib-,
uted permit cards which' when prop
erly filled out entitles the farmer to
a purchase of flour without an equal
purchase of cereals. Under the orig
inal order many farmers in this sec
tion would have been forced to buy i
a great deal of unnecessary foodstuff,
therefore the modification is general
ly welcomed. As is shown , below
Georgia fanners are indebted to Dr.
Soule, State Administrator, for the 1
prompt relief from this order.
“To all Federal Food Administrators:
“In the matter of farmers having
substitutes on hand, what we want is
to reduce the-consumption of wheat
flour to 70 per cent of normal.,
"Retailers will soon find their sup
ply 70 per cent of normal through re
strictions on wholesalers and millers,
therefore, I suggest that you insti
tute some device by which the farmer
and the retailer would give some def-.
iKite assurance of not purchasing or
selling more than this amount.
“As a patriotic duty millers and
farmers -should do everything they
possibly can to reduce the consump
tion of wheat flour to 70 per cent of
normal.
“(Signed) HERBERT C. HOOVER”
.Prior to the receipt of the forego
ing message,'Dr. Soule began Satur
day morning perfecting plans where
by card permits could be issued to
farmers for the purchase of flour
without the requirement upon them
of the simultaneous purchase of an
equal weight of substitute cereals.

modification ot the Administration
rules he desired failed, authority for

H. R. Fenn, who recently moved back
to his country home nepr this city

Cordele. After thirty years of real
living in Dooly, Mr. Fenn sayp he
managed to survive two weeks exist

having caught up with the fourteen
nights sleep lost while there. When
he has livod another thirty years in

a good man'goes wrong it is always
