Miss Weston Surprised.

Miss Ida Weston was invited to
spend the evening of the Goth, at the
residence of her friend, Miss Eva
Winner. Being seated by the fire, the
former began to talk sociably. Soon
the door bell rang and many of the
invited guests appeared. Miss Weston
did not think about its being her birth
day until the presents were given to
her. After an enjoyable evening of
games and refreshments, the guests
returned home, and it was not until
Miss Weston returned to her own
room, that she knew for whom the
surprise party was given.

SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING
Voted II Mill Tax and Authorized
New Building.

A special school meeting was held
on Monday at the school room in the
City hall Though the business to be
transacted was Of the highest import
ance, yet the attendance was extreme
ly small, as is usually the case with
school meetings in this city.
The meeting was called to order by
]. A. Slower, chairman Of the board
of directors, and ]. A. Jennings, the
clerk, read the notice stating the OBJ
ject Of the meeting which was to levy
tax for school purposes, pay interest
on bonds, redeem warrants, and to
authorize the purchase Of site for a
school house and the building Of the
same.
The following estimate Of expense
was submitted by Chairman Slower;
Teachers, $1,000.
Janitors, $700
Wood, $500.
Interest on bonds, 800.
Interest on warrants, 5000.
Repairs, roof, ETC., $1,000.
Incidentals $780,
Total $40, 900.
The available funds in sight were
as follows:
County high school fund, $1,000.
County apportionment $1,000.
State apportionment, $500.
Total, $l700.
This estimate showed the amount Of
5000 which il would be necessary tC
raise by taxation and IL mill tax
was voted for this purpose. The levy
last year was 10 mills. The estimate
for teachers salaries allows some in
crease in pay and also provides fol-
the employment Of one additional
teacher.
The matter of new school Nous,
was presented and discussed at som,
length. In view Of the overcrowdet
CONDITION at the present time, the new
school building appears an absolut,
necessity. Some of the rooms nov
have over go pupils under one teacher
and the students Of the four year
high school are crowded together IL
one room. A site for the building ha
been secured and directors are consid
ering plans for building of fou
rooms. The location is on the eas
side Of Seventh street. opposite th,
jackson residence.
On motion, the purchase Of the sit,
was authorized and the board empow
cred to take the necessary steps to
ward tho construction OF the build
ing. The cost will DO In the neigh
borhood Of $500.

AND THE RAIN POURED
RISES REPORTED IN ALABAMA
 RIVERS.
Wet Weather Accompanied by Wind , and High Temperatures-Fair
 and Colder is Predict
 ed for Today.

The skies opened and the rain poured all of yesterday in Montgomery.
 With a temperature almost of ''the good old summer time," and with q stiff breeze blowing, rain fell almost inces- sanity yesterday.
 The rainfall in Montgomery up to a. m. yesterday was .59 of an inch and 1.51 inches more fell up to o'clock last night. making a total rainfall for eighteen hours of 2.1o inches.
 At Wetumpka, the rainfall was some what over two inches up to o'clock yesterday afternoon and the rain. while not so heavy at other points, was general over this entire section.
 The rain area is expected to move east ward today. giving fair and colder wealth CT over this section of the State.
 A moderately rapid rise has been start ed in the Alabama and Coosa Rivers by this rain, which may be accelerated by the heavy rains of last month. While no dar- gerous freshet is expected, the Montgom- cry Weather Bureau will issue special bulletins so as to keep the farmers in touch with river conditions.
 At Wetumpka yesterday morning at o'clock, the river gauge showed a fall in the river of six feet in twenty-four hours. At the same point last night at o'clock a rise of two feet was reported for the twelve hours.
 The thermometer at the Weather Bu- reau, office here yesterday recorded the temperature at one time as high as 72 de- grees. The high temperature and the rains are due to a decided osoheric de- precision, moving eastward over Louisiana yesterday.
 Last night about Il o'clock, the wind blew almost gale for few minutes and several signs and other loose objects were blown down tn the business district.
