THE BRITISH SUBM1RTNES,

Submarine work in the navies is getting itself properly recognized. For instance, the British Admiralty, in or- der to secure S fuller supply of officers for the submarine service has deter mined to put it upon a more permanent footing. A difficulty has arisen in ob- taicing officers, which is due not only to the continuous increase of the flotil- la, but to the fact that many of the officers who volunteer for service in submarine boats sooner or later wish to qualify in gunne-y or torpedo work
 in the belief that these branches afford better prospects of promotion. The re
 suit is that as soon as they are becom- ing efficient in submarine work, they have to be sent to sea for their gun nery or torpedo qualifications. It has

Grove street Extension.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Having been away from the city for few months. I find on my return that the city of New Haven and the N. T., N H. and H. R. R. Co.,. are again at peace, having settled the "cut' differ ences, and that now the discussion has turned to the extension of a number of streets, viz. Crown, Humphrey and the widening of Grand avenue. It is foreign for me to get into the mael- strom of the very difficult subjects that New Haven from time to time has mention the great advantage that would accrue to the city for genera tions to come, and 1t would be of im- mense advantage to the present gener- ation if the congestion that at present takes place at the junction of Grand avenue, St. John street, State and Elm streets, was lessened. One now wish ing to go up town from "Barnesville bridge" as the town born" would say, or, as is better known to our cosmopol- itan fellow citizens of to-day, East street, would go right up Grand avenue to get to the northwestern section of our city. Now, what, to my mind, would relieve the above said congestion would be to utilize William street by 8 bridge at the foot of Grove street. that Is, to cut Grove street through to connect with William street, thereby making a splendid parallel avenue to Grand avenue. One cannot help but to consider, Look on the city map for yourself and be convinced. To my mind at least 50 per cent. would be relieved at Grand avenue of the great conges-
 tion that takes place there, showing the growth and prosperity of our dear old town.
 There is talk of getting the city bond ed to make these improvements. Money could not be spent in better way. We shall be forever regretting not extend- ing Grove street, if not done now. It is the time of all times, more conven- tent for the railroad and the city to complete the work now. When John Davenport arrived here he felt like one crying in the wilderness If he was l here to-day he would view a city four ishing like green bay tree. Bear this
 in mind, ye people in power. Extend Grove street and future generations
 will rise up and call you blessed

. AN INTERPRETING INCIDENT.

It Is announced that wall mirrors will be bought for the First Methodist church of Albion, Michigan, to enable women of the congregation to get their hats on straight after service. The pas tor has been requesting the women to remove their hats Sunday after Sum day, but the sisters have responded that they couldn't get them on straight without mirrors. Now they are going to have mirrors, and there will be no excuse in the pastors mind for keeping the beloved hats on.
 This is an interesting incident. The women of the First Methodist church of Albion have doubtless been willing to worship in the beauty of holiness but they have also thought 1t beeom- ing to worship in the beauty of hats. Sc they have done it in spite of the efforts of their good pastor who, being nothing but man, has, of course, failed to properly grasp the situation. Perhaps now the women will be willing to let their hats cease to shine during meet ing, and console themselves with the feeling that the hats are on straight on the way home. And perhaps they wont. If they don't there will be a chance foT. man tO again nerceive his futility.

4 GENEROUS COUNTRY.

The United States is a generous coun- try, and thank goodness it can af- ford to be- So far it has paid $3,424,- 079,156F76 in pensions. Of this great sum, of course, by far the larger amount over $3,OOO, O,0OO,O0O, was on ac- count of the Civil War; $7O,OOO,OOO was on account of the War of the Revolu- tion; $45,000,000 on account of the War of 1872; $7,0O0.00O on account of Indian wars; 5000, 900 on account of the war with Mexico; and $12,OOO,O0O on account of the war with Spain. There are still five pensioners on the Revolutionary roll, one widow and four daughters. There are 776 on the roll of 1812 sever- al thousand each on that of the Indian wars and that of the war with Mexico. The maximum number of pensions dur ing this last year, 1905, was the great est on record, 1,104,196, which exceeds the previous maximum, that of 1902. This increase is due to rapid work in disposing of waiting claims and leaves a smaller lot of these than ever before, and offsets the large number of deaths among pensioners during the year. The deaths during the year amount to 43,SS3. Of this number 30,- 324 were volunteers of the Civil War.
 It now looks as if the country's pen sion bill would soon rapidly decrease. But you never can tell.

Much big game was killed this year in Maine. The figures of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad company of the game taken out from northern Maine alone show big increase. Dur ing October and November this rail- road shipped out S,72S deer, being 800 more than for the same period of last year and 167 moose and 29 bears were shipped this year, as against 163 moose and 20 bears last year. The number of hunters going to Maine increases every year, and should the game be thinned out by any such increase as to make it plain that moose and deer might disap- pear, the legislature of course will be called upon to furnish a closed season until the normal supply of game shall be reproduced.

First Baptist Church Raises
$4,000 for Foreign
Mission Work in -
Brief Time.

Rev. r. j. Willingham, D. D. L.
L. d. of Richmond, Va, SecIetar, of
the Foreign Missionary Board Of the
Southern Baptist Church, addressed a
small but deeply interested congIef,a,
ton at the First Baptist church Mon
day night.
DR.. Willingham is not great pulpit
orator; his strength lies chiefly in that
lnuehnable quality we call magnetism,
and his evident eAInestness and consec-
ration. His remarks were devoted % n,
ticulally to Foreign Missions, and ia
went deeply into the work now being
done in foreign fields and the great
good the Missionaries OF the church are
accomplishing. He stated tnat it re,
qulred from $500 to $500 year to main
tain q missionary in foreign fields.
AT the close OF his remarks, the
pastor, Rev, Spencer Tunnell arose and
after summing up the situation asked
the congregation whether they felt
able ana willing to deny themselves
and send missionary from the
church! The Attendance was small
ami the Fist Baptist congregation is
not itch In worldly goods but 1t is rich
in spiritual life and especially in the
grace of giving, and IN a very few
minutes $5S7 was subscribed for the
maintenance of an American mission,

IN addition to this the church will
employ in either China or japan two
native, resident missionaries. these
native converts can be employed at
500 per year The Ladies Aid
Society of this church has undertaken
to employ one of these missionaries,
and prominent member of the con-
will employ the other.
THESE facts speak well for the gen.
erosity and spiritual grace of this con,

Dear Sir
During my service in the Senate l
have seldom come in cont act with a
new member OF that body who has
impressed me as favorably as Senator
Carmack He came to the Sente from
the House OF RepIes entatlves with an
established reputation as brilliant
debater and popular gentleman, and
that reputation has been fully s1s-
tained during mis- senatorial term. Not
wlthstanding he is a partisan and
vigorously defends the policies of his
party OIL all occasions, he ls nev2rthe-
less popular on both sides of the Cham
her, being regarded as an honorable
and high minded antagonist. | need
not say that he and | differ widely on
many PUBLIC questions, but neverthe
less IL has always been 4 pleasure
for me to do him favor if oppoI
tunity offered. During the last session
it was my privilege, as member of
the Committee on Commerce, to give
to the River and HaIbor
Bill, serving as Chirman of the Com
mittee on Conference winch had charge
of that measure Senator Carmack was
greatly interested in an appropriation
for the Cumb erland River and it was
a genuine pleasure to me to do what
[ could to crafty mis- wishes In that
regard l look upon Senator Carmack
as one of the ATTEST and most con-
scientious members Of the minority
side OF the Senate.

OF THEIR SAVINGS
DEPARTMENT.

An Outline of the Plans and
Purposes of An Institution
Meaning Much for the
County's Welfare.
BUSINESS WILL START NOVEMBER IST

The Farmers & Merchants Bank,
! Columbia, Tenn, will establish a Saw
ings Department Nov 1st., 1905.
After due consideration and study of
the subject the Farmers q Merchants
Bank believe that the people of Colum
bla and of Maury County should have
the advantage of Savings Bank, end
have decided to open, Nov 1st., reXu
lar Savings Department, where the
people may find a safe place for the
deposit of their savings, however
small. and at the same time receive
3M per annum ON same, payable every
six months.
This is no new departure In COM
meIical banks. 1t has been tiled in
hundreds of places time without num-
Der, and with uniform success 1t does
not mean that the Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank will pay interest on its
regular commercial, checking accounts
On the contrary we distinctly wish 1T
| to be understood that we will not do
that Our Savings Department Will be
estab lIshed on separate lines and con-
Quoted according to regular rules gov
ernlng such institutions.
In small communities like this a
separate Savings Bank could not afford
to take on the expense, taxes and
dividends incident to the management
OF such an institution but in a savings
department in connection with the
regular business of the Farmers &
Merchant Bank, which has an estab-
lished paying business, the extra ex-
peEse IS reauCed to minimum, which
will leave fair compensation for our
trouble, and profit to our patrons.
The Farmers & Merchants Bank
believes by the establishment of a
savings department that it will Iender
service to this community, and in no
wise impair it's usefulness as general
banking institution.
An account may be started in the
savings department with very small
sum, which can De increased from
time to time; thereby forming the
habit of saving money. And money
saved is money made.
The officers or the Farmers q Mer
chants Bank will take pleasure in
looking after this department and will
leave nothing undone to make it as
afe as can be made; Therefore we ask
the patronage ana CO operation of those
inter ested in Savings Bank. Be
ready to start Savings account with
us on November l, and let us assist
you in MAKING YOUR MONEY
