Golden Jubilee Celebration.

Last Sunday was a red letter day
in the annals of Salem's Evangelical
Lutheran church, corner Washington
and Williams streets, of this city.
The occasion. was the 50th anniversary
celebration managed. by Theo. G..
Hahn, pastor.
The large and magnificent edifce,
the newly decorated church, was filled
to the last seat both morning and af-
ternoon. About 750 people were pre-
sent at each service, so that almost
200 chairs had to be put into use, be-
sides the regular seating capacity.
In the morning service, which was
in German, the pastor had charge Of
the liturgy, while the sermon was
given by former pastor of Salem's
church, the Rev. p. j. Kionka, now of
Maribel, Wis~The speaker, who re-
called his almost 10 years work here
18 years ago, gave forceful sermon
on Psalms, 3, which deeply moved the
hearts of his former parishioners.
The school children and choir rem
dered appropriate music for the oc-
casion.. A collection was taken for
the pipe organ fund, which substan-
TALLY increased the treasury.
During the noon recess the members
Of Salem's church took the guests, who
according to the officers court, were
$50 strong, into their several homes
for dinner. Visitors greeted were
from Lansing, Chesaning, Brady, Du-
rand, Maple Grove and Venice town
ship. From Lansing alone about 70
people turned out. Rev. J. j. Roeckle
of Chesaning, and Rev. w. Opitz of
Maple Grove, were among the guests.
At 3 p. m. the congregation again
met to hold its English Jubilee SER
vice. The local pastor again had
charge of the liturgy, while the SER
mon was given by the Rev. John Abel
mann, son of H. Abelmann, former
pastor of Salem's church in 1883 till
1892. The Reverend gentleman
che for his text the touching words,
John 1, 1919. A strong sermon CIV
en- in well selected English was enjoy
ed, which the members of the church
will not soon forget. The choir again
sang and another offering was taken
for the benefit of the pipe-organ fund.
Here The pastor announced that the
church debt had been wiped out and
that now Salem's church and school
were entirely free of debt in every
department with several hundred dol
lars over subscription. Thus a men,
orable event has gone down into his
tory for the Lutherans of Owosso.

Standard Machinery Company Build
ing Addition to Plant.

The Standard Machinery Co., of
South Washington street, has begun
the construction of an addition to its
foundry, made necessary by the rap
idly increasing demand for the COM
pany's products of saw mill machin-
cry. The addition will be 4S by so
feet in dimensions, and will be built on
the east end Of the present foundry,
which was built in such way as to
permit the erection of an addition
without difficulty. The addition will
give the company foundry 130 feet
long by 48 feet wide. eta.-p
The company's business has ex-
panded greatly since it came here
from Bay City few years ago, and
particularly since it got into it's new
building on Washington street. The
company's products now go to both
coasts. About so men are employed
by the company.

Plans for Hospital Approved

Architects plans for Memorial hos
pital were approved by the hospital
committee at a meeting Tuesday night
and plans for a house-to- house can
vass for raising necessary funds were
made. The canvass will be made next
week, and everyone will be expected
to give something.
The entire committee will give all
of it's time next week to the canvass,
which will cover only Owosso. The
canvass will be in direct charge Of
Mrs. Arthur Let's, Mrs. A. F. How
ard and Mrs. George Thompson.
The plans show a building which
will cost $145, 900, equipped, with the
exception of the bedroom furniture.
Of this amount, $1O6,700 has already
been raised but it is the aim of the
committee to bring this up to 100000
during the canvass. However, it was
stated this morning that the hospital
is assured, and that work will soon be
started on it.
The building will be $50 feet long by
40 feet wide, four stories high with
basement. 1t will be built of hollow
tile, faced with white brick, and will
be absolutely fireproof, the only wood
en- parts being the window frames and
doors.
There will be three operating rooms
two of them located on the fourth
floor, with windows on all sides, while
an emergency operating room will be
located on the first floor. The anes-
thetic room will be located next to the
operating room on the fourth floor.
There will be 56 beds in all, located in
seven wards, and 26 single bed rooms.
The superintendent's Office and living
apartments will be on the first floor.
There will also be maternity ward,
and nursery for children on the first
floor. 1t is planned to erect nurses
home adjoining the hospital, and to es-
tablish a nurses school. 1t will be
necessary to go out Of the city to OBJ
tain superintendent and nurses at
the start but it is planned to train
nurses here after the hospital is start
ed. In order to maintain a nurses
home, the hospital must be q capacity
of so beds.

Washington Letter.
BURLESON CONTINUES
TO OPPOSE HIS CLERKS

& Washington, Sept. 17.-Postal en-
ployees, through the recent conven-
tion of the National Federation OF
Postal Employees at Washington,
have been given an opportunity to
explain to Congress and the country
many of the. hardships and injustices
placed upon them under Postmaster
General Burleson's administration OF
the Post Office Department. 1t was
pointed out that the present rates Of
pay for postal employees is notori-
ously inadequate. Mr.. Burleson has
consistently opposed any proposal for
equalizing the pay of the postal clerk,
and recently sent letter to Chairman
Steenerson Of the House Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads urg-
ing the committee to disapprove of the
Madden measure giving bonus Of
$50 for the present year to all postal
employees.
A number of reforms regarding pay
and working conditions are requested.

STRONGLY OPPOSE LEAGUE

: Washington, Sept. 1.-THE pro-
fessed view in Administration circles
that only Irish Of the agitator type
are opposed to the present form of
the league of nations is sharply dis
puted by p. T. Moran, widely known
in Washington and prominent. in the
movement for Irish freedom.
II think l can assert without fear of
contradiction that 80 per cent of the
American people of Irish blood are
strongly opposed to the league in its
present FORM" said Mr.. Moran.

War Record.

John Trotwood Moore, who has
charge of the work of the War His
tory Committee for Tennessee, has
enlisted the assistance of Mrs. w. H.
Swiggart, this city, in tho work as
Mother Chairman for 0bion County
to collect material for this record.
Mrs. Swiggart has requested us to
bring this to the attention of all war
work organizations to the end that
she may have their cooperation in
the work. She asks everyone to help.
She wants the record of every boy
from Obion in the war or in camp,
and as a means of conducting the
work cards with blanks to fill in
will be left at The Commercial Office
for general use, or at any other of
the newspaper offices and public
places in the county. Your help in
the matter will be greatly appreciat-
ed. 1t will contribute to very i'm
portant historical work.

ing a defective bond eighteen years
ago, the business affairs of Union
City have been carefully guarded.
We refrain from comment on Mr..
Coble's statement but simply repro
produce the references in the article
which appeared last week in The
Commercial.
However, with a floating indebted
ness of over fifteen thousand dol
lars and the handicaps of war and
high prices, 1t was to be seen clearly
that the policy then most advisable
was to liquidate as nearly as possible
and to conserve every resource
against more trying and exacting
period of warfare, and this policy
was religiously adhered to by Mr..
Pittman and his board"
After discussing the expense of
metres was the following paragraph:
but to offset the cost of metres
the present board is to be credited
with the collection of overdue side
walk notes of nearly ten thousand
dollars. That should be some COM
pensation to the taxpayers for the
money expended in water metres"

The County Fair.

The county fair, arranged to be
held at Troy, was postponed last week
on account of the fact that Rives
and Hornbeak couldn't get ready,
also on account of the condition of
the roads. 1t is to be held one week
later-on Friday Nov. T. and with
the program in full. This is to be one
of the greatest public enterprises
and one of the most useful we have.
1t may be the legitimate successor
of the old style county fair without
the races, the confetti and the wheel
of fortune, who knows? 1t may be
a sight bigger and it is useless to
suggest that it may be better. Come
on-let's get in and help.

Mr.. PHEBUS TELLS
HIS EXPERIENCE

The following brief account of an
interview with a Union City man
five years ago, and its sequel, will
be read with keen interest by every
citizen.
G. w. Phebus, Sr., retired farmer
321 s. 5th St., Union City, says:
II have taken Doan's Kidney Pills
off and on for years and always
find them beneficial. Now and then
my kidneys get out of order and lum-
bago bothers me considerably, some
times settling in my back and caus-
ing severe pains for three or four
days at a time. The back of my
head aches, too, more severely in
damp weather. Doan's Kidney Pills
always relieve these troubles and l
gladly recommend them"
The above statement was given
December 1, 1914 and on May 10,
1918 Mr.. Phebus said: 81 think as
highly of Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day as when / previously endorsed
them. Doan's are fine medicine. /"
Price coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

DR.. F. M. McRee,, Commissioner
of Agriculture, was here this week
paying a visit to homefolks. DR.. Nc
Rec attended the county fair at Pu-
laski last week and said it was one
terprise and public spirit he had seen
in many day. The crowd was
large and tie exhibits were fine. He
says he expects to be at the Obion
County fair at Troy and trusts it
may also be a great event to the
schools and the people of the county.
BY all means, DR.. McRee says, it
should have complete cooperation
and support.

Splendid Record.

Rev. J.. l.. Hudgins, of Nashville,
was here last week visiting the fam
lily of his son, w. E. Hudgins, and the
Union City friends. Rev Hudgins,
editor of the Cumberland Presby-
terian, and connected with the var
ious enterprises of the church, has
probably been more active, more
thoroly and deeply interested, if pos
sible, and more successful in the
work of rehabilitating the church
and reviving it's work than any one
person or factor in the field since
the division some years ago at De-
catur, ILL., 1t is no reflection, we
presume, on any one to make this
statement Rev. Hudgins is almost
over the top in securing the first
$250,000 endowment for the pro-
posed theological seminary and will
be ready with his report when the
General Assembly meets, so that the
committee on location may perform
It's WORK. One OF the members OF
fered a subscription of $4,000 for
this endowment, but was asked to
reserve portion of the amount for
the next endowment fund. The
minister was here on his way to
Wingo, KY, to dedicate a new
church. On the Sunday before he
dedicated church at Princeton, KY,
the forty-fourth he has dedicated
since the division and the fiftieth
altogether. He expects to be able
to dedicate sixty churches, maybe
before the coming holidays. This is
an Incompatible record in the church
and one of the best of any church.
There are many good things to be
said of Rev. Hudgins but none more
truly than his stewardship and his
loyalty to the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church.

A Statement.

10 the COmmerclal-GenC
In your editorial of October the "a,
you made references to certain mat
tiers pertaining to the finan-
cial condition of Union City at the
close of my administration, which in
your disconnected way, are uncer-
tain and misleading.
Following your statement, that l
left floating Indebtedness of more
than $4,000 and after discussing
various other matters at length, you
assert that the present administration
should be entitled to credit for
the collection of nearly $4,000 side
walk obligations that were overdue,
leaving the casual reader to surmise
as to whether or not the floating
debt referred to was in excess of the
$4,000 or whether as matter of
fact the floating debt should not be
entitled to an Offset of $4,000.
In order that the citizens may
reach q correct conclusion about this
matter and that there can be no mis-
construction hereafter, / republish
a paragraph which appeared in the
Commercial of February Z, 1919,
in which l took the Audit Commit
tee to task for not allowing me cred
it for the sidewalk collections as fol-
lows:
But the significant fact which
l desire to bring out, is that at the
time | retired there remained about
$4,000 of the unpaid citizens (street
and side walk accounts which are
good and solvent assets, but this au-
dit committee has failed to mention
this important asset as against any
liability whatsoever Why does not
this auditing committee show how
much has been collected on this CT
tizens account and how it has been
disbursed?"
To admit the significance of your
statement that it required extraor-
binary business acumen to collect
the unpaid side walk tax, as true,
would prove conversely that I had
shown many of the taxpayers per-
sonal favors or that was incapable
OF carrying out the plans which l
adopted to build the walks, either
of which is ridiculous and absurd
While it is true that / had exer-
cised such leniency as was consist
ent with good business by permitting
partial payments to run overdue,
these securities were bearing 6 per
cent interest, secured by first mort
gage on the AUDITING property, and
there never was time during my
tenure in Office that every dollar of
this money could not have been col
lected by simple process of law.
Furthermore the records will show
that but few If any of the last pay
ments on any of the unpaid walks
became due until last year.

In the publication of the abcve
