The Alumnae-ni of the Seventh
District Agricultural School, Powder
Springs, Ca, met the 2Sth of May,
1917.
This being the third meeting of
the alumnae-ni was largely attend
ed, and proved to be the best meeting
we have ever had.
The meeting was called together
by the president, Miss Chester Dan
iell, for the transaction of business.
The minutes having been read and
approved, the retiring president APP
pointed the following committee to
nominate officers for the ensuing
year: Miss Emma Perry, Mr.. Judson

officers elected are as follows: Mr..
Harry Miller, of Powder Springs,
President; Mr.. Claude Colson, of
Rockmart, Vice-Pres.; Miss Minnie

and Mr. Coy Lewis, of Powder
Springs, Treasurer.
After interesting talks ir behalf
of the association, by Miss Emma
Perry, an honorary member, and Mr..
Harry Miller, our newly elected
President, Mr. Mason Florence made
very effective speech to the alum
nae-ni which was very much enjoyed
by every one. Following Mr. Flo
rence's speech came Mr.. Hoyle Kemp

made very interesting speeches in
behalf of the association.
The purpose of the alumnae-ni as
ISOLATION is to help others and we
have started a fund to help some
ambitious boy or girl, who hasn't
the means with which to obtain an
education otherwise. For the past
three years each member of the as
ISOLATION was assessed one dollar
($1.00) per year; but at our last
meeting an amendment was Altered
and passed that the $1.00 per year
be dropped and a plan of volunteer
contribution be substituted. The
result being over sixty dollars were
subscribed, which goes to help some
worthy pupil,
After the transaction of business

Death Of Mrs.
II. r. Joyner

Mrs. W. R. Joyner died at the
home of her mother, Mrs. E. j. Seize,
on the evening of Sunday, June 3rd
at nine o'clock, the result of a stroke
of apoplexy. The funeral services
were conducted at the house Wednes-
day morning at eleven-thirty by her
pastor, DR.. j. H. Patton, assisted by
the Rev. Rembert Smith. The first
prayer was led by Mr.. Smith and
DIR. Patton after reading few COM
forting passages from the scriptures
made some beautiful remarks. A
choir, consisting of the Rev. Ken
meth Campbell, Mrs. j. H. Patton,
Miss Allene Fields, Mrs. Charlie Ste
phens, Mr.. Vivian Waddell, and Mr..
Leon Faw sang "Abide With Me-"
''Peace Perfect Peace" and "Home
of the Soul"
Mrs. Davenport, who presided at
the piano, played very softly, as
the casket was being carried out,
Home Sweet Home"
The pall-bearers were Messrs. w.
D. Cody, Arnold Broyles, C. M.
Thermon, W. c. Jonigan, Albert
Bellingraph, Al. Waldo, John T.
Dorsey, and j. w. Glover.
She leaves to mourn her loss her
husband, Mr.. w. R. Joyner, and four
sons, Messrs, W. R. Joyner, Jr., Har-
ry Joyner, Ralph Joyner and Richard
Joyner. Mrs. Joyner who was Miss
Clio Seize, was born and raised in
Marietta. Mr.. Joyner was for a
long time Fire Chief and afterward
Mayor of Atlanta. During those
years they made their home in At
lanta, spending their summers at
their country home at Fair Oaks
near Marietta. For the last ten years
they have made Marietta their home
entirely. Mrs. Joyner will be missed
by her friends in Marietta, Atlanta,
and other parts of the state where
she had made many friends. The
sympathy of the Fire Companies in
Atlanta, Rome and other nearby
towns for Mr.. Joyner who is fire
inspector for the state in his be-
reavement, was expressed in the
beautiful floral offerings which were
sent from those places.
Mrs. w. R. Joyner lived so long
in Atlanta she was quite as much at
home there as she was in Marietta.
Although her husband was mayor,
after being the city's beloved fire
chief for many years, she never cared
for frivolous social events but con-
tinued to interest herself in the fami-
hes of the city's fire fighters. She
was always doing something for the
children especially those who were
i'll or unfortunate-sensible, practi-
cal things too, that made sunshine
in a shady place and turned mourn
ing into gladness.

decided to use it for experimental pur-

special mixture of embalming, fluid,
a portion of which he injected into
the little body.

The story of his battle TO the death

he has been killer. Battle scars
cover him. One ear is gone. A tuft

broad, wolfish head a particularly sin
lister look. And he hates a bear with
all the inherited venom Of his breed.
When Buckley, his master, hunting
UP Valdez creek. jumped a large she
bear and two cubs In the BURBERRY
bushes, Wolf leaped to the attack to
protect the man.
Circling for advantage, slashing and
swapping warily, the two arch enemies
bore of up slope. Buckley, fearing
for his dog, tried to whistle him back.
Once OF twice Wolf attempted to re-
turn, but the bear outfianked HIM.
Then Wolf. with all his cunning,
began a deadly maneuver that ended
only when the two had gone deep into
the solitudes. Just as the she bear
had forgotten her cubs, so the wolf
dog had now forgotten his master un-
til this wilderness feud had been set

drew the black bear on until fatigue

finish of cardinal hate, but no man
saw it. Buckley. who had watched
the beginning from a tree top, and
who waited many hours for his dogs

camp and had shot the two whining,
deserted cubs.
Hours later Wolf dragged himself
into Buckley's permanent camp six
miles distant where his masters part

was out. He was badly mangled.
With supreme effort he got upon
Buckley's bunk, calling weakly for his
