EARLY Closing


Editor Times: About the 1st of July a
movement looking to the uniform closing
OF shoe stores at p. IN. was inaugurated
by Shoe Clerks Assembly, Knights
of Labor which, 10 viewer, had temporary
setback by the refusal of an Avenue firm
to join i'll the movement, but after the
clerks had correspondent with the main
house in Boston, setting forth the con-
ditions of the trade in this city, the firm
recognized the practicability of the move
ment and readily agreed to give il trial.
The settlement expressed by many mer-
chants is uniformly satisfaction with the
result of the new order of things, among
which is closer application to their duties
on the part Of the clerks in appreciation of
the shorter hours, which. at the same time
entailed no loss of trade to the merchants,
but only condensed the same amount OF
business in shorter day than heretofore,
which is merely repeating the arguments
quoted from a circular issued to the mer-
chants previous to the starting of the
movemeDt-that while the merchant would
suffer no loss of trade, the extra time gained
by the clerk was of considerable benefit 10
him, in that it gave him what he lacked
before-needed time for rest and reCrea-
ton and the enjoyment of home comforts
after laborious day spent at the store.
Many persons doubtless have but
faint conception of the work and con-
sequent fatigue that is undergone by the
shoe salesman. who, did they but try the
business for n week, would then have u
better understanding of his duties, and
would gladly extend their sympathy. which
can be done In most substantial way
and without any inconvenience to the
public-snpiy by doing all their shoe
shopping before 8 p. M, except on Sat
urday, when they have until midnight
to make their purchases. This is ouly n
slight request TO make of the shopping
public. who can, by very little or no in
convenience to themselves, render an i'm
mense service to the clerk.
This movement is being thoroughly agi-
tated among the allied labor organiza-
tons, and they are giving it their hearty
support and active cooperation.
The local Federation of Labor and Dis
trict Assembly, X. OF L., are also pledged
to aid this movement by all legitimate
means, and the Federation now has a
committee instructed to wait upon those
merchants who have not yet joined the
movement and endeavor to convince them
that the Cooperation OF the merchants with
the labor unions can only accrue to their
advantage.

Shooting In Randolph.

A young man named Green was
shot from ambush, near Thomas Hill,
on Tuesday night of last week, for
what purpose is not known, but is sup
posed to have been done on account
of young lady.
A more serious affair occurred at
high noon last Sunday between two
cousins, Ed RAIDER and "Bung" Mikel
in which the last named was seriously
wounded in the neck and may die.
The shooting occurred five miles north
of Huntsville at the residence of John
Reed, the father of the young lady,
for the love of whom young RAIDER
and Mikel, aged al and 10 years re-
sPectively, engaged in this deadly con-
Hict. According to the account given
Of this sad affair by the Moberly Dem
orraf, the fight was forced on RAIDER.
Mikel had on former occasions cursed
and abused him and challenged him
for a fight. On Sunday the day of the
shooting young RAIDER was visiting
the young lady when Mikel came and
called him out. When they met out
of doors Mikel began drawing his re-
volver but RAIDER was too quick for
him and fired first.
After the shooting RAIDER, accom-
panied by his father, went to Hunts
and gave himself up, and is now in
jail awaiting the result of Mikels
wounds.

School Entertainment.

We had the pleasure last Friday
evening Of attending the entertainment
of the Hurt school, in the Forks Of
Chariten, taught by Miss Florence
Mcfarland, who has been a faithful
teacher, untiring in her efforts to make
the school a success in every partcu-
lar.
Knowing the school-house had not
sufficient capacity to hold the crowd
that would attend the entertainment-
Mr.. e.. b. Hurt generously rendered
the use Of his large tobacco factory for
the purpose, and while it was rather
cool for the audience without fire.
shawls, overshoes, cloaks and over
coats were called into use to chase away
the chilly atmosphere of a mid-March'
evening.
The program was varied and exten-
sive. The orchestra. composed Of
Miss Mamie Price who performed at
the organ, her brothers, Charles and
Frank, who played the viohn and
clarionet respectively, Fred Hayes the
cornet and John Ralston the violin.
rendered a number of pieces of excel
lent music The program was made
up of songs, recitations, dialogues.
declamations, etc. While every item
of the program was creditably render
ed, some deserve special mention-
The Flag Drill' performed by four
boys and like number Of girls was
admirably done. Considering the
poor facilities furnished for training at
a country school-house, We think the
whole of the performances were cred
liable both to Miss Florence. to her
valuable assistants and to the pupils Of
her school. Misses Blanche Johnson
and Laura Griswold, six and four
years old, respectively, did some nice
singing for little tots. There was a
large audience present to witness the
entertainment and all seemed to enjoy
it very much Did our space I hui

j. w. Furrow Killed.

7. w. Furrow. native of Charlton
county. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin
Furrow. now of New Murdock, Kan
sas, and brother of L. l.. Furrow, Of
near Keytesville. was killed on We'd
nesday of last week at Furrow City,
Colorado.
Mr.. Furrow left this country some
II years since for the West and after
prospecting in several different local.
ties finally settled on the site of the
town that bears his name and where
he was killed. He was an active,
energetic business man, and was
rapidly developing the town that he
founded.
In surveying town lots it seems Mr..
Furrow left directions with the survey
ors to reserve certain tract conven-
lent to water for a mill site. His in
structons were disregarded by the sur
veyors. who surveyed a T III site at a
more inaccessible place on the hill and
laid off a pleacer mining claim on the
site selected by Mr.. Furrow. This
angered Mr.. Furrow who called at the
camp of one J. R. Lumpkins, former
employee of Furrow, and who had as
sisted in making the survey. This in
terview led to the shooting. Lump
kins shot Furrow five times. One Of
the shots passing through his brain
producing instant death. The coro-
ner's jury returned verdict of justifi-
able homscide.
His remains were expected to reach
Dalton for interrment last Sunday, but
from some cause had not arrived there
up to Wednesday evening. Some Of
his Keytesville friends went over again
yesterday morning expecting to be
there at the funeral.
The Furrow family has been well
and favorably known in Charlton coun-
ty for many yeas. We never heard
of any one of them having difficulty,
and we are satisfied tie provocation
was very great that lead Will Furrow
into the difficulty that resulted in the
loss of his life. We sympathize with
the deeply bereaved parents and
brothers OF tie deceased, as do their
host of fiiends in Charlton county.
