Under command of Capt. Paul

at the entrance to Long Island
sound. For several weeks the
Eastern Forwarding Company,

officer, steamed out to meet the
submersible.

iured in a collision and forced to
put back for repairs, which delay

DRESDENPOSTOFFCE
SAFE DYNAM|TED.
Large Iron Safe Blown to Pieces. AN
N Money and Stamps Taken. Blood
Hounds Brought Here.

The iron safe at the Dresden
postoffice was blown by yeggmen,
who used nitro-glycerine, on last
Saturday morning at 2 o'clock,
getting 1852 in stamps, $3S in
money order money and $50 in
postal money, besides all postal
savings certificates in the safe and
Mr.. Brasfeld's insurance policies.
The robberywas discovered early
Saturday morning by W. W.
House, who came down town early
for his mail, and before the arrival
Of Postmaster Brasfield. Mr..
House at once notified Mr.. Bras
field, who telephoned to Water
Valley, KY, for blood hounds, the
dogs reaching here at 10 o'clock.
They at once took the trail, follow
ing it out the front door, down the
pavement toward the livery barn,
turning at Shaw & Rawls' corner,
going west to the lane, through the
lane south to the street running
west, on by Finis Browns yard,
and on to the railroad back
Of the. H. B. Jones residence.
The trail was followed down the
railroad to thefair ground, through
by the county farm to the Sharon
road, where the trail was lost. 1t
is thought that here the robbers
were met by a confederate in a
vehicle and carried on to Sharon,
where they boarded a passing
freight.
= Two charges we're used in fore
ing the safe door, the safe being
blown to pieces, even the strong
rivets forced out, Mr.. Brasfeld
sold a stranger some stamps after
closing time Friday night, and a
stranger answering the same de-
scription as the one purchasing
the stamps bought bar OF soap
at Edwards drug store Friday
about midnight. This man was
tall and had black hair, was fairly
well dressed. The explosions
awoke a number Of people all over
town, and most Of them we're
pretty we'll satisfied the postoffice
was being robbed, but no one was

to verify his belief b,

willing to verify his belief by
venturing out.
Mr.. Bras6eld had been warned
by the department just few days
ago not to keep large sums Of
money on hand over night, as a
band Of thieves was operating in
this section. Therefore, he lost
but little money.
Mr.. John Glass says that after
dark on Friday night he ran
upon two strangers in an automo-
bile in front OF his house, and that
their conduct at that time aroused
his suspicious. He is Of the
opinion that they were connected
with the robbery.
About ten years ago, while Mr..
]. P. Gibbs was postmaster, the
Dresden postofice safe was blown
and robbed.

ing everywhere was torn asunder.
During the week just closing
there has heen speech.making at
most OF the public places in the
towns and rural communities, all
we'll attended, indicating intense in
terest in the approaching election
and that a full democratic vote
will be polled in Weakley comfy
on next Tuesday. II this is done
Weakley county will be able to
claim her old place of recognition
in conventions with her thirty five
or forty convention votes.
Let every democrat go to the
polls and vote Tuesday
Gov. Rye was greeted by an
overflow house at Martin on Tues
day night, delivering one OF his
characteristic democratic sermons.
On Tuesday afternoon the court
room in Dresden was crowded
to hear Congressman Joe Byrns
OF Nashville. Mr.. Byrns was met
at the depot by several automo-
biles and a large reception COM
mittee. His address at the court
house in the afternoon was we'll
received, especially that part of it
showing what he and the demo-
cratic party had done for the
American tobacco grower. While
he said he could not guarantee it,
he hoped and expected the 1916
tobacco crop to bring a fair living
price; that he advised growers to
hold for a fair price if not volun-
tarily offered. He said the depart
ment at Washington would con-
tinue hammering at Great Britain
until she treated tobacco as nou-
contraband, allowing its fee and
unmolested shipment.
Mr.. Garrett will close his cam
paign with a speech at Ruthville
on next Monday night. Senator
Luke Lea speaks here tomorrow
{ Saturday J night, and Editor
Mooney Of the Commercial Appeal
will speak at the courthouse here
on next Monday, when every
democrat in the county is urged
to be present. This will be a gen.
eral rally day for the democrats Of
Weakley county and all are urged
to lay aside their work and come
to Dresden on that day.
Things at this time are looking
bright for democracy, not only in
Tennessee, but in the nation, and
Weakley county can not afford to
be found behind. Hence, it is
urged that all democrats vote on
Tuesday.

Relative to Teach
erS' Examinations.

The examinations for the pres.
ent year were given in groups for
a definite reason, as follows:
know there were hundreds of
reasonably successful elementary
teachers in the state who failed
on the examination given a year
ago. Many OF them have never
taught any but the lower grades
OF the elementary course. They
we're not expected to stand the ex-
animation, therefore, were poorly
prepared. To about two thous-
and of such teachers were issued
temporary certificates to teach last
year. | knew these teachers could
not do their teaching and prepare
to take an examination on all the
subjects in December. To give
them time to review we did not
give all the examination at one
time.
Since these teachers have now
had an opportunity to review
while taking the examinations,
we have accomplished our pur.
pose and hereafter the elementary
examination will not be given in
groups, but will be given on all
the subjects, including the read.
ing circle, each time. Only a part
OF the examination cannot be
counted. Applicants failing to
make a passing grade must take
the entire examination over.
The High school examination
will be given in groups as follows:
English, mathematics, history,
Latin, science, home economics
and the composite group. This
last group is given especially for
teachers of the third class or two.
year high schools. This group
is composed of spelling, grammer,
rhetoric, arithmetic, algebra, gen.
eral history and biology,
The next examination will be
given December % and %.
Let US urge all applicants to
take the examination early. Do
not wait until the middle of July
to take it and expect to receive a
certificate in time to begin teach
ing a week later. You cannot
expect to hear from your ex.
animation for at least four weeks
after you take it. We have papers
graded carefully and it takes time,
Five-year certificates may be
made permanent, but the law does
not provide for the extension
of two-year certificates. IS. W,
Sheriff., State Superintendent.
Dear Teachers-We have given
you this letter verbatim, in order
that you may know what the
state authorities think about the
examination. Since we have got to
take them let US begin early as we
would be sure then to get another
chance if we should fail, F. Y,
Fuqua, Superintendent.
