THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1018 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. ‘ J. M. RICHARDSON, Supt. YOUNG MAN REGISTER j All male persons who have reached their 21st birthday . since June 6, 1918, on or be fore August 24, 1918, must ■ register with their local board . next Saturday, August 24th. They should consult their lo cal draft board immediately as to how to register. All Dooly County regis trants will register at the court house in Vienna.

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, JAMES H. FOSTER. Co. B„ 151 M. G.
