ARCHA W. COIT TO LEAVE GAS DERPARTMENT. Has Been Clerk and Cashier There for Past Dozen Years—Resignation Un- expected. After 12 years of service in the gas and electrical department of this city, Archa W. Coit, clerk and cashier, sub- mitted this leiter to the commission ers on Friday: “Gentlemen—I hereby resign my po- sition as cles and cashier for the gas and electrical department, said resig- nation to take eftect upon the first day of January, 1914.” In 1902 Mr. Cait entered as as: ant cashier the employ of the Norwich Gas and Electrical company, when Manager A. J. Campbeil was at i head. When the municipality took over the plant nine yvears ago, Mr. Coit be- came clerk and cashier, and his incum- bency has been one of efficiency and courtesy. His plans will take him into another field of work. His resignation was quite unexpect- ed by the hoard of commissioners, and they have taken no steps to appoint a successor. Mrs, George P. Smith, who has been bookkeeper at the office for several years, has likewise resigned and ter- minated her connection with the de- partment last Saturday night.

Foliowing a finely rendered solo | by Mrs. George T. Lord, there was an address by Department inspector Gris- i wold of Guilford. Our National Re- | demption was the subject of the ad- | aress by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. who spoke I part as follows: The Cost of a War, In part he said: Our national redemption was vicari- lous. The cost of maintaining the | struggle was so enormous thadt its com- putation in money value is practically | beyond our comprehension. And when | we add the loss in human lives, there | are no figures that can convey the cost. |1t is estimated | about a million precious human lives | were given up before the country | emerged from its awful baptism of blood. There were other things which | cannot be put down in figures. There | were crushed hopes and ruined homes nd broken hearts. There were widow- hood- and orphanhood and a long train of human sacrifices. We came to our | national redemption by an offering so cless that the most vivid imagina- is baffled and the clearest com ension is clouded at any attempt | it fort i The Spirit of Service. | And then, too, our national redemp- | tion was voluntary. In their history of Lincoln, Mr. Nicolay and Mr. Hay point to the fact that §0,000 men were enrolied from five states in twenty days. Volunteers! That is the spirit at saved the Union. That also is the spirit that maintains it. Thank God there are still men who are willing 7to serve their country at personal sae- rifice. The Doctrine of Efficiency. 1, There is a word which we are using | trequently these davs. It is the word “efficient.” Our national redemptior may be called an efficient redemption, The north and south have been ce- mented together beyond the danger of disruption.
