NUMBER 4
SCHOOL OPENS MON
DAY, SEPTEMBER 2
PRACTICALLY THE SAME BOOKS
TO BE USED AS BEFORE-
PRICE OF BOOKS ADVANCED.
It has been rumored around town
that school would not open so early
this year, but would be postponed for
the purpose of employing “child la
bor” to help gather the cotton crop.
This ljas never been anything but a
mere rumor. The board of education
realises that some things arc more im
portant than cotton and groundpeas,
hogs and hominy. They place educa
tion on a higher plane and do not pro
pose to let these or any thing else
interfere with the efficiency of the
school work. «
It has also been rumored that there
will be many changes in the books us
ed in the school.. Again rumor is in
error. We expect to follow the old
list in almost every instance. How
ever the Latin books that we have
been using are not on the approved
Georgia list and as the law of Geor
gia is imperative that books must be
taken from this list, we find ourselves
compelled to adopt other texts that
are on the approved list. Other
changes of a minor nature only will
be made.
The price of books like that of all
other things is soaring. Nearly all
hook companies, have increased their
prices from 20 per cent to 26 per
:enL Basal text-books adopted by
;he state will remain at the old figures.
Hence it will be our policy to us^
these books as far as practicable.
Let the parents endeavor to have
their children in their places on the
morning of September 2nd. Let us
til do our best to make the coming
rear tfte best in the history of the Vi-
1 ;nna Public school.

YOUNG lyiEN TO
REGISTER SATURDAY
THOSE BECOMING 21 SINCE
JUNE 5TH, TO REGISTER AUG
UST 24TH.
Atlanta, pa.—Many of the young
men who register next Saturday, Aug
ust 24th, will have opportunity to en
ter military service even ahead of
those who registered last June 5.
This developed when the Selective
Service Law Officer announced the
method of assigning order numbers to
the new registrants.
There will be no lottery in Washing
ton to decide the liability of these
registrants. Instead Provost Mar
shal General Crowder has directed
that the last lottery holds good for
this registratipn, this giving each man
an opportunity to learn at an early
date just where he stands. The reg
istration number to be given each
man who registers next Saturday will
TURNED DOWN FOR ARMY,
ENDS LIFE WITH BULLET
Hawkinsville, Ga., Aug. 20.—0. C.
Home, well known citizen, killed him
self with a pistol toduy, .'apparently
disappointed because lie was turned
down for army service. Ho had been
in bad health for some time, but a'
few days ago sought to enlist in the
army and failed to come up .to the re
quired standard.
Early this morning he went to his
father’s back yard and shot himself
in the head with a 38 caliber pistol.*
For some time he had been con
nected with the sheriff’s offiefe. His
father, J. L. Horne, has been deputy
sheriff for many years. Ho is surviv
ed by two sisters, one brother and
his parents.
take its place in the list of order
numbers just as if it had been drawn
in the last lottery.
In other words if a man draws
registration numb* 200, his order
number will be determined by the
place number 200 holds in the master
key fixed through the Washington
drawing. If registration number 200
calls for order number 637, such will
be the new registrants order number.
If one of the registrants of June 5
should have the order number 537,
the new registrant would be given
order number 537-A, and so on. Thus,
by reference to the master key each
man can immediately be given a defi
nite place in the order number list.
Every man who has become twenty-
one years of age kince June 6th, 1918
or who reaches that age by August
24, will be required to register qfxt
Saturday. Through this registration
authorities expect to prevent inroads
into deferred classifications, since
this will provide, throughout the Uni
ted states, approximately 160,000 ad
ditional men for Class One. Major
Joel B: Mallet, selective Service law
officer anticipate^ that the registra
tion in Georgia will reach approxi
mately 2,000.
All local boards will be open for
registration on August 24 th from
seven a. m. until niqe m. This is
in no way connected with the much
larger registration which will fol
low, probably in September, after the
passage of the bill to register men
from 18 to 21 and from 31 to 46.
Publication in the newspapers of
the announcement of next Saturday’s
registration will be considered suffi
cient notice for all young men who
come under this call. Those who are
tq be absent from their place of res
idence on Saturday may register by
mail, but should provide themselves
immediately with the necessary
formation as to procedure. This may
be obtajned from local boards. Reg
istration cards sent by mail must
reach the local boards by Saturday.
Those who are unable, because of
sickness, to register in person, may
register hy agent. Information as to
procedure in such cases as this also
should be obtained from local boards
without delay. Those who have no
permanent residence will register with
the local board in whose jurisdiction
they happen to be on August 24th.
LETTER.FROMSOL
DIER BOV IN FRANCE
FORMER VIENNA BOY WRITES
THAT HE IS IN HOSPITAL HAV
ING BEEN GASSED.
The following letter from Mr. J.
H. Foster, a former Vienna boy, to
Mr. George Redfern will no doubt be
of interest to the many friends of
Mr. Foster here.
Base Hospital No. 16, July 22, 1918.
~ Your letter received and was
mightyvglad to hear from you. Glad
you are getting on well and that old
Vienna is still on the map. Do you
know old “top” that I use to like that
old town and a great mnny of the
people there. I have thought of them
very often since I have been away. I
have often wondered if I will be lucky
enough to get bark. I doubt it. I
have had some close calls in the last
few months. We have been in the
real war and up where there is some
thing doing all the time. I was gass
ed in the last great offensive on the
morning of the lGth. Have been,
pretty sick but am better now. I
don’t think that I got enough of it to
lay me up very long. I certainly
hope not for I am anxious to get back
with my outfit and the other fight
ing men. When a fellow once gets
into the game he hates to have to quit
and is never satisfied any place else
except on the line. Wehnve been hit
pretty hard but luck has been with
us too. It could have been lots worse
We are not all layed up or layed out
either. This is a big job (this busi-
of killing men) but we are in it
and in it to a finish. Our job is to
kill the Huns and believe me we are
going to “do it up brown.”
Well, I guess the American papers
are full of war news. You people ov
er there will have to get it all from
the papers for we fellows over here
can’t write much. I guess a great
deal of what wi'<2j"write is cut out
by the ceWjbK""Y<ftt*know fheyTiaW
to be very strict. Some things that
we might say that we wouldn’t mean
much or give away anything might
mean a lots to the enemy.
Hope you will pardon me for not
writing you sooner but we haven’t
been where I could write or send any
mail in sometime and wehavc only
received mail once in a month. 1
haven’t heard anything from mj
company since I left, can't say wheth
er or not any of the other fellows
you know were hurt. I must close
for this time. Hoping this will find
you all O. K.
Give my regards to Drs. Daves anil
Williams, Mayor Lytle and all the rest
of my old friends (lady friends ton
if you happen to see any of them,
