TEACHERS ANNUITY LEAGUE.
An Organization ia Whics, Our Public School
Teachers Are Interested,

The public school teachers Of Richmond
have long fell that some provision should
be made for those teachers who, after
long service in the profession, find 1t nee
essary to lay down their work. Hence
at the last session of the Legislature an
establish a fund to be nnown as the
Public School Teachers Retirement
Fund of the City of Richmond
The charter provides that the City
Treasurer shall be custodian OF the finCs,
and that the fund shall be controued and
disbursed by board of trustees. consist
ing of the superintendent OF the city
schools, the president of the City School
Board, three other members OF the School
Board, to be selected by the board it
self, and two principals of the city
school, to be chosen by the Board Of L rim
cipals The Board of Trustees have been
organized in accordance with the act,
and there has been general interest III
favor of the movement among the t-ach-
ers, many of whom have expressed their
desire to aid in the establishment of the
fund.
Those who have the direction of the
movement have thought 1t advisable to
organize a league, to be known as the
Teachers Annuity" the object of which
shall be TO establish the fund for which
the act provides. To this enc commit
tee, representing the Board of Trustees,
and those teachers already identified
with the movement, met in the office OF
the superintendent of the city schools
on Friday and agreed upon bylaws. to
be presented to the first annual meeting
Of the League at Central School on the
second Tuesday in December.
1t is hoped that large number of
the teachers viii be present on that oc-
casion, and that they Will identify them
selves with the movement. All others
who feel an interest in the work are cor
daily invited to be present at this ini-
tial meeting.
It may be well to state that this move
ment is no new thing. The teachers of
Massachusetts, have their Annuity Guild
This guild has been in successful opera
ton for several years. has permanent
fund OF about $4,000. and provides for
over forty-eight annuitants. New Jersey
has a very successful State league.
Hamilton county. Ohio has It's league.
Philadelphia, Detroit and New Orleans
have their city leagues. Besides these.
there are many other cities and counties
in which there are similar associations
in successful operation.
II requires only a little e..ersy and push
that Richmond. too. may have her league
in successful operation within the next
few years, and that those who have
served her we'll in the public schools may
spend their last years without being de-
pendent upon relatives and friends for
support.

best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs Mollie Moore of
this place, who has been suffering
with a very severe case of nervousness
and Kidney Disease. Each of them
told her that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them, and instantly MOTTO
ed a change for the better Her i'm
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance
of dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in
this ueigEborhood. and all are loud in
their praises of this new remedy
Dodd's Kidney Pills-which is curing
so many hitherto incurable cases, IN
