Roanoke Teachers In Session.


About fifty teachers of Roanoke
county, mostly ladies, met in one of
the upper rooms of the public build
ing yesterday to transact the bust
ness Of their association Prof. Stearnes
took the chair and Prof. Sheppe opened
the meeting with devotional exercises
after which the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: R. C..
Stearnes, president; Mrs. A. M. Kizer,
vice.pre sident; N. P. Painter, secretary;
l.. j. Sheppe, treasurer; Miss Mollie

Miss Margaret Johnston and Prof. N.
P. Painter were elected to the next

meeting abolishing tho office OF CORE
spending secretary and uniting the
Offices OF secretary and treasurer, also

Meeting of the Board of Supervisor.


The board of supervisors of Roanoke
county held their regular March meet
ing yesterday and the following bust
ness was transacted:
Tho clerks fees in the late local op-
ton election in Big Lick district were
allowed.
The board agreed to open the road,
mentioned in yesterdays TINES, from
LanRhorhe's mill dam to the lands Of
the Salem Development Company
In the road applications of Webster
vs.. the public and P. l.. Terry vs.. tn o
public no action was taken.
A number of accounts were allowed
The salary OF the commemorative at
torney was fixed at $500 per annum.
The salary of the clerk Of the courts
was fixed at $3.50 per annum. A motion
as 10 whether or not the salary OF the
judge OF tho county court should be in
creased at all, his present salary being
$50 per month, resulted in tie vote,
and the present Judge OF tho county
court being the party interested, the
effect was 10 leave the salary as IL is It
present.
The reason that tho clerks salary and
the county judges salary were not in
creased was attributed to the hard
times. Supervisors Moomaw and Lewis
were in favor OF increasing the county
judges salary; Super visors Starkey and
Thomas opposed it. The friends of
Judge Moffett claim that a petition
signed by 100 residents Of Salem magis-
terial district (outsido of Salem) was
addressed to Supervisor Thomas, asking
him TO vote for the increase, while a
counter petition signed by twenty seven
residents of Salem magisterial district
(outside of Salem). about one-half of
whom were taxpayers, WAS submitted to
Supervisor Thomas opposing any in
crease OF salary
Mr.. Starkey thought the clerk ought
to charge all legal fees against parties
having business in the office. This has
not heretofore boon the custom, since
the clerk has always made search for
papers and examined deed books for
parties making inquiries without any
charge. 1t will come hard on the people
TO pay those fees, but 1T will be neces
sary now to do so in order to paw for the
employment of the necessary clerical
force to properly conduct tho office.
