The won! der is that it had not been done be fore. Heretofore many of the merchants and clerks stayed in their places of business until 11 or 12 o'clock. This meant 16 or 17 hours of continuous work, most or.all the I time on their feet, resulting in I fatigue and injury to health, to say ; nothing of their unfitness for I chtlrch duties on unday. ! And all of this for what purpose? To accomodate a few who could arrange to do their shopping earlier.^* | And it is on this point that we would ; venture a suggestion to the public, i hp no adverse criticisms against the decision of the merchants, j On the other hand, they should be | warmly commended and heartily supported. Give these people an equal opportunity with you, to secure ' a reasonable time for rest and. preparation for Sunday services. ; * A SECRET ROMANCE COLLEGE GUEL WEDS A pretty and happy romance has just been brought to light in New' berry.
