A merry party of Montgomery teie- graph operators gathered last night In a private room of the Mecca Cafe on Commerce Street as guests of Mont gomery local of the Commercial Tele- graphers Union.
 The ocasion was design Ated as q smoker" but it was more than that for delicious luncheon was served and the operators. union and non-union, en- joyed three hours of delightful social intercourse intermingled with happy speeches songs and repartee.
 Will F. Mel, who Is associated with 8 prominent firm of future brokers. pre- sided as toastmaster. Mir. Mel was a clever presiding genius and his intro- duction of the various speakers added to the entertainment.

 Not all of those present were mem bers of the union but the fact that they were telegraphers was sufficient for the | hosts and the smoker" was a success in every particular
 The compittee on arrangements was headed by J. W. Haygood and those present voiced their appreciation of the efforts of Mir. Haygood and his asso. ciates by saying that 1t was perhaps the happiest occasion ever given by tho telegraphers of Montgomery.

The closing of the Association gymnasium leaves no gymnasium in the city open to the young men who feel the need of systematic exercise under a trained physical director.

 The directors and officers of the As sociation have put forth every efort to complete the fund necessary for the new building and have 1t ready when it was necessary to vacate the Bald win building. Twenty-two thousand dollars ha sbeen subscribed. which, in addition to Mir. Peabody's gift of $10,- 900. leaves only t8.0O0 short of the $S5, ,000 which they set out to raise. At least $5, 900 more should be subscribed so as to cover the shrinkage which the collection of such subscriptions usual ly discloses.
 DuEing the time the Association work is suspended, the General Secre- tary. L. D. Dix. will give all his time to the completing of the building fund and its collection. The plans for the new building have been accepted and 1t Is hoped that the contract may be let by November 1.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
Fourth National Bank Makes e Mos
 Gratifying Gain In Resoureea.

To show a substantial increase in it's resources during the summer months Is not only unusual with banks. but Is 2 fact rarely accomplished by the financial ipstitutions of the South.
 In the light of this precedent, the officers. directors and stockholders of the Fourth National Bank have just cause to feel proud of that banks mag nificent showing made at the close of business yesterday.
 Only about ninety days ago the Fourth Nationals resources reached the million dollar line for the first time, while the statement printed in The Ad- vertiser today shows the total re- sources to be s1.f2s.4e0.5s, a gain of over $1Oo,000. When 1t is taken into consideration that this handsome gain was made in the dull summer months, the showing is all the more compli- mentary to the bank, and indicates de- cided evidence of tho business worlds appreciation of an institution con- ducted along modern lines with young men of progressive ideas at its head.
 The Fourth National Bank wants new accounts and offers to It's custom CTS every facility which conservative banking will justify. adv.
