The question OF early closing of stores,
is nov agitating the public mind of Dav-
export. A little more consideration for
| those employed 10 stores both on the
part of the public and employers would
not be amiss, and would not dotract
from, but increase the faithfuloess Of sers
vice of those who have to put IN long
day in earning their daily bread The
artiE9n complains that nine hour are too
many, but the store employee gives more
time than that at much less remuae-
rative price.
