CALLS FOR $4,000.
City School Board in Regular
Monthly Session Monday.
The board of city school commission
ers met in regular monthly session
Monday afternoon, and considered sev
eral matters of public interest.
The secretary of the board was in
structed to notify the city council to
provide in their tax levy for $4,000 for
school purposes the coming year. Itis
estimated that the expenses of the
schools for the year just begun will be
$6,500, and the remainder of this
amount will be derived from book fees
and the state school fund.
The salary of Professor W. B. Riley,
one of the teachers in the high school
department, was increased from $66.66
to $75 per month. Professor Riley is
one of the best teachers that has ever
been engaged in the schools, and the
increase in salary was in recognition
of his worth and ability.
The resignation of E. M. Jackson,
principal of the negro school, was ac
cepted. Owing to the small number
of children in attendance upon this
school the vacancy was not filled, and
the assistant teacher will be in charge
for the present.

by a clean shave, make a hair-breadth

entire countenance into bleeding,
quivering, human excelsior.
