triculation Fees.
With the opening of tho Georgia

ments have been made by the county
board of education with the trustees
f the college to have all children of
the county, over eight years of ago,
enter this institution without paving

been required.
Also, arrangements were made dur-
'ng tho early summer to permit all
children under pight years of age, of
tho Milledlgeville school ^district! to

The success of tho county beard of

is believed that Ihe deal will in no
way prove a hardship for the college
authorities.

VICTIM OF WOUNDS
Son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.
Little Second Man From
Baldwin To Sacrifice Life
For Cause of His Country.
News has been received here of the
death of another noble son of Bald
win county.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Little, who re
side a few miles north of Milledgeville
in Baldwin county, received a cable
gram Friday announcing the death
of their son, Frank Little, who died
in France August 6th from wounds re
ceived in action on the battle lines of
the American forces.
In December of last year before
reaching the age of 21 years, young
Little left his home to enter the of
ficers’ training camp at Camp Gordon,
where he remained only about two
months before sailing for France. He
was a graduate of the Georgia Military

received his diploma. At the time he
was killed he was serving as a mem

ty Second Division, United States Ar
my, his death taking place August 10
Few young men in Milledgeville or
Baldwin county possessed popularity
equal to Frank Little and the news
heralding his death was received as a
shock to scores of his warm personal
friends in this section. He was re
garded as one of the most deserving
young men in this entire community
and he held the great admiration of
all of his acquaintances.
In the loss of their son, Mr. and
Mrs. Little have received many con
soling expressions from scores of
friends in Milledgeville, Baldwin coun
ty and other sections of the state, all
expressing a joint grief in their hour
of extreme sorrow.
Besides his mother and father, the
deceased is survived by several young
er sisters and brothers.

A Card of Thanks.
We wish to give some expression
of our appreciation of the sympathy
and kindness of our friends so freely
and beautifully extended to us in our
bereavement at the sudd* n going away
of Mrs. Maude Braswell Lawson, s»
dear to us all, and her little babe,
who went back to heaven before we
ould take him in our arms.
