ANOTHER TEACHER NEEDED.
The Old School Board Holds Its Last
Meeting.

The last meeting of the retiring
board of education was held Friday
night, and the new board held
it's first meeting Saturday. The only
change is that Fl. l. Parry will sue
coed W. w. P. Mcconnell.
Secretary Brewster read his annual
report, and Treasurer T. J. Jones
presented his report, showing bal
ance Of S12, $50. SO on hand. Both re-
ports were adopted and will be print
ed it two of the city papers.
Supt. Kenaston made report as to
the attendance, saying that the work
was progressing nicely. Many of the
grades are full, and in the high school
all of the seats are taken.
Principal Searles asked for another
teacher in the high school. Prof.
Bedford's place has been left vacant,
and with one less than last year, there
are l53 scholars in the schools
against 126 last year. The classes
are too large to receive the benefit
that they should, and some of them
ought to be divided. 1t has been
necessary to drop several studies.
Supt. Kenaston seconded this re-
quest.
On motion of DR.. Davis, the board
voted to hire another teacher, by a
vote of four TO three. The new board
will elect the teacher.
Among the items in the secretary's
annual report were the following:

A GOOD MEETING.
Mckinley Club to Be Organized at
Good Thunder.

Notwithstanding the threatening
appearance Of the weather Saturday
night Congressman McCleary was
greeted with good audience at Good
Thunder, that evening, which gave
him close attention for over two
hours. His treatment of the money
question was most thorough and he
showed that the existing gold stand
ard is not responsible for the present
hard times. That under the present
system we have had great prosperity
and what is wanted now is a return
to the prosperity of 1892, by opening
the mills and work shops and allowing
free coinage of muscle, instead of the
minis for free silver. He showed that
demand for farm products could not
be created by coming free cheaper
dollars but must be made by increas-
ing the purchasing power of labor and
that can be done only by setting our
labor to doing Americas work. Ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour after
the address, a Mckinley club was not
organized, but some twenty-five
names were obtained and the organi-
zation will be perfected on Monday
evening next.

Twenty-nine to seven! That's the
story told III yesterdays game. 1t was
the first OF the season-thc first time
the young men Of the Norfolk team Of
1886 have BEEN brought together to
race an opposing aggregation OF ball
players.
About GOO of the faithful were present
to see ManaEer-Captain McFarlan's
young men wallop the young men from
Franklin. The weather was just right
for baseball. but the spectators eXpe-
rienced an occasional shiver.
Brilliant plays were not looked for by
those who went to League Park yester-
day. They went to see the home team
to size them up as ball players. Nor
ioik rooters" declared that the young
men who will represent this city were
great. Portsmouth "rooters" said they
were not in 1t. That is the way it stood
Yesterday among the spectators But
Norfolk 'rooters'' were in the majority
and if vote had been taken as to the
merits Of the Norfolk team they would
have been declared the coming cham
ptons of the State League.
OF one thing the Norfolk "rootcrs'' are
satisfied. They have q team of httters
l'fanmiller putting the ball over the
fence for home run. three three base
and six two-basc hits going down to
the credit of Norfolk. Franklin only
scored singles throughout the game
-Four OF Norfolk's pitchers were tried,
as will be seen from the tabulated score.
They were unsteady, although Plan
miller showed up probably better than
any of the others.
On tho field the men showed up we'll
or course. they are n little stiff, but a.
little practice. such as they received
yesterday. will thaw them out. Thomp-
son. one of Norfolks catchers, met with
painful accident behind the bat.

Thompson on the end of the finger and
dislocated 1t. He was retired from the
! game.

ELISA ARTICLE.
Coming Events Cast Their Shadows Before
 Them-Societys Latest Fad.

Query: What is Elisa? Answer: The latest, brightest and funniest comic op- era before the American public today, which will be given by Birmingha m S representative society belles, buds and swell young matrons at OBrien's opera house with all of it's glare, glitter and frolic, February IA, under the personal direction of the composer and auspices of the ladies of the Church of the Ad- vent.
 The opera is bright catchy and, what is more to the point. refreshingly origi- nal and replete with humor and laugh ter.
 The cast has been most carefully se- lected with the view of meeting not only the requirements of the score, but the ability also of poItraying the different characters to be represented in the play The costuming will be both rich and call for such amusing innovations as the use of a flock of live geese. live horses in the parade, live calf. goat etc.
 No pains or expense are being spared to make the affair the most elaborate and artistically finished performance ey- CT attempted in the south by amateurs, and if you miss "Elisa" you will miss the event of the season. Not to be seen out on the night of the 14th will be an omission that very few of our society people will be guilty of as there is no doubt but that the audience will consti- tute body of Birmingham.s citizens magnificent in proportion and unrivalled in social quality.
 At the solicitation of many the man. agement has decided to give all parties buying tickets in advance from the 1a- dies the benefit of the box office priv ular sale, thereby guaranteeing them good seats i ifsa ea--. .
