The past week has been one of
much interest to the community as it
embraced the various interesting e-
vents occurring during commencement
'week with Douglasville schools- But
for the untimely death of Prof. Ram
sey it would have proven one of the
most enjoyable occasions within
recent years*
Prof. Ramsey and his able faculty
have wrought well and faithfully and
a good year’s work has been accomp

other half mixed breeds, so their com
parative merits could be considered
through culling.
The 9 standard bred flocks number
ed 1,087, while the 9 of mixed flocks
numbered 1,103, or 1G more hens. Thu
week before culling, the standard bred
as it is, is a secondary consideration
compared with the mental develop
ment • and increased capacity for
greater acquisition.
The week’s series began on Tues
day night with an entertainment by
the Junior Music pupils, and was
followed on Friday night by the Sen
ior Class Play. Both of these occas
ions were pronounced successes and
called forth much favorable comment.
The commencement Sermon, Sun
day was delivered by Dr. J. O. Gro

church here, hut now of Alamba, and
wag a gem of noble thought and |
Scholarly wisdom.
The graduating exercises Tuesday |

year’s work when twelve young people
were awarded diplomas for comple

were four young men and eight youny

Just as his year’s work had closed
and in the midst of Commencement
Week exercises, Prof. M. F. ^Ramsey,
Superntendent of Douglasville Public
Schools died suddenly Sunday morn
ing at the Douglasville Hotel, at the
age of 56*
Prof., Ramsey had been here just
one term and had endeared himself
to the faculty and pupils and others
whose pleasure it was to know him.
He was a man if high idelals and
possesseda quality of character that
commanded both the respect and ad
miration of his pupils. He was an
active andloyal member of the Baptist
church, a Knight of Pythias, a Mason
and a Shriner.
He whs formally connected with tne
Atlanta Real Estate Board, and was
for a time Senior Land Appraiser
for the Government.
The fueral was held Tuesday after
noon at the First Baptist Church at
East Point, the services being con
ducted by Dr. Charts W. Daniell of
Atlanta. .{
A large number of his Douglas
ville friends attended the funeral.
He is survived by one brother, - •
