Upon the approach Of moving day,
which occurs in this city on The 25th Of
March, the prevailing question which
greets You on every hand Is "are you
going to movs?" Moving day Is looked
upon by the ladies as q general holiday
while the gentlemen think 1t o grand
nuisance, and many will not 60 near
their homes on that day, leaving their
wives to do all the work. In some in.
stances however they send man to-
help In the ardous task in their stead.
Many private families mako it a
point to move every year, whether they
are materially benefited by the remo-
val or not. Many, however, secure
better houses in a more desirable neigh
borhood, with cheaper rents; others
having been successful during the year
move from small houses into larger
ones, while others are compelled to
move, they having been warned out
by the landlord, who has either sold
his property or desires his house for y
friend. In some instances an exorbi-
tant rent is required for house, which
the tenant does not feel disposed to pay
and he looks for another house. The
usual number of private families will
remove this year and from early dawn
until late at night on that day, the fur.
niture cars will he kept busy and it Is
always a harvest for them. The num-
Der of business houses that will change
quar- ers this year is not as large as on
rOrmer occasions, which Is no doubt
owing to the increased patronage be.
slowed upon them last year by the citi-
IONS and they prefer 10 pay slight
advance In rent rather than 10 60 to
the trouble aud expense OF moving,
which costs no small sum. Many per-
sons suppose that 1t does not cost much
to change their quarters, but those that
think 80 make grand mistake, and II
they will stop for moment and calcu-
late the cost they will discover tbat the
amount paid, counting damage to fur
niIure, labor, etc, will more than re-
pay the extra rent levied upon them.
Many persons have purchased a home
of their own during the past year, and
will move therein on the day set apart
for that purpose. Among the business
