The drug clerks Of this city are very anxious
that Sunday hours be observed in tho various
drug stores. Thay think that II the stores
were open a short while in the morning and
shor. while in the evening for the dispensing
of medicines the object OF keeping the
stores open on Sunday would be achieved as
well AS if they were kept open all day. This
would give the clerks some needed rest and
at the same time III opportunity TO attend
church that they do not now enjoy.
To this end a communication was sent to
the pastors Of the different churches IN the
city with the request that they speak OF the
matter from the pulpit.
L response 10 the letter most OF the pastors
spoke o. the matter on Sunday morning.
Rev. ". c. Walden and Rev. }. j. Clopton
dwelling at some length on the propriety OF
all Christian people lending willing hand to
this very worthy object They exhorted
their hearers 10 aid in every way possible the
young men who are thus trying 10 open up a
way to a more regular attendance upon divine
worship.
The movement IS meeting with hearty APP
prOyal from the people. and as the object Is
good one there seems 10 DO little doubt OF It's
ultimate success.
