PRES. F. C. BRENT
RECEIVED CUP
HIS EMPLOYEES GIVE EXPIRES
SION TO THEIR GOOD WILL
AND REGRET AT HIS
RETIREMENT.

An unusual scene transpired at the
First National Bank Friday when.
about p. m, all of the employees OF
the institution assembled in the pri-
vate Office of its retiring president, Mr..
F. c. Brent, and surprised that gentle
man by presenting him with a hand
somely engraved silver loving cup.
The board of directors had just con-
cluded its meeting, when Hon. w. A.
Blount, the attorney for the bank, in
company with the employees, entered
President Brent's Office and made the
presentation. Mr.. Blount said:
MIR. Blount's Presentation.
81 have ben commissioned by the
employees Of this bank to present to
you this beautiful token and to express
their appreciation for your uniform
kindness and courtesy during their as
ISOLATION with you. That association
has been such that they feel that their
relations with you have been less those
of service than OF friendship. and
their regret at the severing of such
relations is not only sorrow at the
t0ss of the daily presence of an Off
cial head. but of the intercourse of
personal friends.
May this loving cup typify your cup
Of happiness; may that cup, as the
widows cruise, no matter how freely
you draw upon it, always remains full
to the brim.''
Mr.. Rrent's Response.
!, Mr. Brent was taken altogether by
surprise and was deeply affected by
this manifestation of good will on the
part of his old employees, some of
whom had been with the bank almost
since its inception and all of whom
had been with it for several years.
However, he made a neat response in
which he expressed his thorough APP
probation of the gift and particularly
of the spirit which prompted it.
The inscription.
The cup which is of heavy silver,
contains the following inscription:

so long dealt as well as by his en-

expressed.

The Druggist Bill.

Representatives of the State Pharma
ceutical association and of the Christian
Civic league held conference In Angus
Ia, last week, to consider the drafting OF
drug gist bill that should be satisfactory
to both and which would therefore be-
qui e likely to be passed by the present
legislature.
The result of the conference was that
the druggists agreed TO let the Civic
league committee draw bill on line,
discussed ut the time and practically
agreed to accept such a draft aud sup
port Ia the legislature.
The two most sweeping features Of
the bill will be the abolition of the liquor
agency bill and the waving of the Law
making the possession of United
States retail liquor dealers stamp prima
facie evidence Of violation of the prohib-
tory law. While it is recognized by TIT
most pronounced temperance advocate,
hat the liquor agency is a safety valve
for the prohibitory law which makes it nj
all practical, its workings have not beer
satisfactory. A for the law making
the possession of liquor stamp prims
facie evidence it would be no great loss
the temperance advocates feel, as it ha.
been more useful in helping out the So
called nplans" of enforcing the law thar
in suppressing the sale of liquor.
Other provisions of the law that have
been suggested are that violation of thu
law shall be cause for the loss of the
druggists certificate of registration. that
only druggists themselves and not clerks
can make sales of liquor, that a limited
quantity only can be sold to family in
limited time, that would be purchasers
must make roquisition in writing stating
the quantity desired and the purpose for
which it is wanted, that sales must be
recorded and open to public inspection
and the liquor selling part OF druggists
business be under the supervision OF the
municipal authorities. The proposed law
will be surrounded by other safeguards
which 1t Ia believed will make 1t satisfac.
tory to all Of the people of the state.
The druggists of the state are not
urging the passage of a law, for the
sales of liquor for legitimate purposes
will not add greatly to the income OF
any Of them and IL the people OF the
state do not want them to do it they are
the ones to be satisfied but If the liquor
is to be sold by them as a medicine they
feel that they should be protected in II
the same rs they are in the sales oil
poisons Of other kinds.

Ice Bound Coast.

Severe and long-continued cold is tell.
ink very untsvorably upon business
along the coast OF New England, and
even farther south. Ga Tuesday the re-
port was summarized as follows;
Nantucket is surrounded by miles up.
on miles Of ice, entirely cut off from the
mainland. About the shores the ice is
ten feet thick.
Newport Is suffering from an ice en-
barge, aud none OF the small craft Can
move about the harbOr. fhe wind has
been driving the ice inland.
Vineyard Haven h4rbor and Vineyard
sound are packed with ice, and many
vessels are caught in the foes, where
hundreds of skaters were able To skate
out and visit ice-bound crews.
Buzzlrds bay is icebound, and Fall
River narbnr is almost solid with ice.
New York harbor is filled with ice
foes, making navigation impossible ex.
ccpt FIR the liners and heavy craft.
Ice barriers in the Delaware river,
causing an almost complete suspension
of the coastwise trade out of this porI
has followed the general free ze-up of the
harbor Of Phlladelphis.
Bon and Portland harbOrs have no
feltthe effects of the ice bl0ckades to tht
extent OF other smaller harbOrs, the mod
ern methods of navigation and larger
steam vessels having tendency to KEEP
them open.
The Penobscot river is entirely closed
to navigation by an ice Jam extending
from shore to shore between Fort Poin
and the mouth OF the Orland river.
The Maine Central steamer Pemaquid
of the Bucksport and Rockland line left
Monday morning, but could not force
her way through. the Jam and was
obliged to return.
The ice Is packed solidly four to ten
feet above the water and shows no signs
OF weakening. The situation at Belfast,
Castine and In the eastern bay remains
unchanged, all frozen over.
