Early Closing.

II Is hoped that the public VIII lend It's
support to the movement looking to an
carly closing Of retail stores during the
heated term. II they will, the movement
caunot fail Of being crowned With success.
AS rule, proprietors are as much In favor
Of carly closing as are their clerks. The en-
ployer longs no less than does the employee
for little recreation in the evening. The
purchasing public constitute about the
only barrier 10 getting that recreation.
Too many persons make habit OF shop
mng In the cool Of the evening, thereby
Keeping clerks and employers behind the
counter until long after dark. They do
not reflect that what Is fun and pleasure
Tor them bears very cruelty upon
the man who has been on his
feet since early In the morning.
II our people would make point Of pur.
chasing what they need early in the day
the business Of the heated term would be
crowded into short hours; both clerks and
proprietors would be much healthier men,
and no one would lose anything finan.
oially or otherwise.

minds SAID 10 was mo0nshine wagon, and
so II was, for la the course Of an hour boys
and men, white and black, from and around
the depot could be seen going in the same
direction. From that time until late SUM-
day NIGHT the scenes IN that neigh.
borhood were OF most shameful and dis.
graceful character. We know II Is useless
for us To picture them. They can be re-
called very easily by those who have wit
messed them before. We are told tina, the
mountain dewdrop" seller was warned
that he would be arrested u discovered,
He defed the authorities, exhibiting as his
hackers two big navy pistols. II Is singular
that private citizens living in town heard
OF the presence Of this bold violator Of the
law and the officers did not. He was sell.
ing whiskey within the Jurisdiction OF
Wytheyille.
