The early closing movement is making a
very good beginning. A few stores were
open Tuesday night, and in West Owosso
only those of Walsh and Lusk were closed
Wednesday night, but last night all swung
into line on both sides except AFFORD, of
West Owosso, and Bertrand and Loring.
There is no reason why all cannot join in
this movement and it is to be hoped it will
be carried out successfully. The Clerks
Union is to be congratulated on their man
agement of the matter.

Auxiliary of the Y. M. G. A. assisted by the

luence the rooms presented an unusually at
tractive appearance, with the rugs, pictures,
chairs and draperies loaned for the occasion.
About three hundred persons were present
at different times. A banquet was served in
he gymnasium, and songs, music from the
harp, readings and games made the evening
pass quickly and pleasantly down stairs.
1t was very successful and pleasant affair.
