We notice "'that business places have posted cards in conspicuous places with the following announcement: evnragat6 o'clock, except' Monday aud Saturday, from July 5 to September 15.

This arrangement will afford clerks and employers a much needed rest in the evening during tbe heated term. They are obliged to be in their places of business from early morning throughout the entire day, and unless the stores can be closed in- tbe early part of tbe evening they will net have any time for exercise or recreation throughout the entire year. We believe that their customers will readily adapt themselves to the new order of things for all persons can as well make their purchases before 6 o'clock in the evening as later. Besides all business places will be open all evening on Monday and Saturday evenings to accommodate such as cannot come in daytime. The early closing movement has been tried with success here and elsewhere in former years and there is no reason why it should not be done this year, especially during the hot summer months, when business is generally less brisk.
