My gait, was read, accepted. and ordered on file. A committee was then ap pointed. to address a letter of repl! thereto, both letters to be spread ol the records of this bank.
 To the Board of Directors of thu First National Bank, New Milford Conn.
 Gentlemen: It is with great regret that 1 am obliged to inform you that owing to the i'll health of my father, Henry s. Mygatt, it seems advisable that he should not be considered as an officer or director of the bank.
 After so many years of continuous business activity and practically life time spent in the service of the bank it is source of untold regret to my i. father to he obliged to sever his con nection with it. but his condition de. mands complete rest and absolute free. dom from business cares. and to that end I requset that he be relieved from further official connection with the bank. Very truly yours. Fl Frederic E. Mygatt.
 Mir Frederic E. Mygatt.
 My dear Sir. It was with feelings of sadness that the stockholders pre- sent at this Annual Meeting of the First National Bank of New Milford, held on January IA, 1908, listened to the reading of your letter of Decem- Der 12. 1907, addressed to the Board of Directors. wherein you state that the condition of your fathers health ne- cessitates his withdrawing from the Presidency of this Bank and it's Board of Directors. He has served this in stitution so long and faithfully that it is with deep regret we learn of his con- tinued illness which demands absolute rest from business cares. We desire to extend to him and his family the assurance of our love and esteem, and sympathize with you all in this afflic- tion. Also sincerely hope that he may soon be restored to complete health. Very respectfully yours, Seymour s. Green, H. LeRoy Randall. Charles N. Hatch.

be done every year, Everything was
proceeding in an orderly and digni-
fed manner when member from a
western state offered an amendment
to the one under consideration pro-
viding that the mails should be
weighed every year and that the
weighing should take place in the
month of March. March is the big
month in the postal service. The
mails are heavier in that month than
at any time in the course of year.
Another member suggested that
the committee should designate an
average month and he insinuated
that the committeeman who had pro-
posed March did so in the interests
of the railroads. Hot words were
exchanged, and finally the lie was
passed The two disputants leaped
from their chairs with the purpose
of settling the controversy by the
Marquis of Queensbury rules.
In an instant the committee was
in an uproar. The militant members
were surrounded by friends and the
Threats were made, however. and it
seemed for a time as if the contro-
versy would ultimately be carried to
the floor of the house.
The amendment was put to a vote
and a tie resulted. The chairman
ruled that the amendment as pro-
posed would remain in the bill,
Whereupon a committeeman who
was not involved in the broil changed
his vote and the amendment that
had created so much excitement was,
therefore stricken from the bill.

BIG FALLING OFF IN ARRESTS
But Little More Than Half of the
Number in Atlanta in February
Compared With Year Ago.


There is little question that when
the subject of prohibition again
comes up for legislative discussion
the prohibitionists will get no small
amount of comfort out of the Atlanta
police statistics
The second month under prohibi-
ton has passed, and like the first
its police court figures exhibited
marked contrast to those of the same
month just a year ago.
The total number of police court
cases for February this year was no
as against 1,411 for the same month
of 1907, a difference of GAL in favor
of the prohibition month.
The cases last month included
twenty-five in which the charge was
violating the state prohibition law
OF these twenty were straightOut
blind tigers, while five were held for
selling alleged soft drinks which con-
tanned too large percentage of al
cohol to permit them to come within
that category.
Naturally with twenty or more
blind tigers at work there were some
DRINKS, and now and then drunk
would secure partial immunity by
"peaching" on the animals lair.
Considering these figures the pro-
hibitionists will contend and possibly
with some force that the absence Of
whisky has cut Atlanta's criminal
record down about One-haIf.
