■ Bf . ^VOLUME SEVENTEEN 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. m VISOR! BOARD THANKED FOB SERVICE .

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.

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.

In operation is quite as difficult to per form as the last, as in the case of Mr; H. R. Fenn, who recently moved back to his country home nepr this city after a residence of two weeks in Cordele. After thirty years of real living in Dooly, Mr. Fenn sayp he managed to survive two weeks exist ence in Cordele, although . not yet having caught up with the fourteen nights sleep lost while there. When he has livod another thirty years in Dooly he says ho may consider mov ing again, but announces that until further notice his address will be Vienna, Dooly County, R. F. D. When a good man'goes wrong it is always gratifying'to see him get right again land Mr. Fenn’s Dooly friends are congratulating him that he has seen the error of his ways and departed therefrom.
