the wonder is, in what shape the next misfortune will come. Closed the Wrong Bank. EDITOR CHRONICLE:-I notice in your issue of yesterday a statement that the Arlington National bank had closed its doors. This is a mistake as the Arlington National is in good shape, has not closed, and will not. It was the First National that went down. G. V. BOLTON. We are pleased indeed to correct the statement. We took particular pains to trace the report to what we considered reliable authority, but our informant being in error naturally we got in too. This is the first bank we were ever able to make a run on sufficient to close it, and this was entirely unintentional.
