Stores Closed Early.

The merchants of Milford have gen
orally lived up to their agreement to
close the stores at o'clock every even
ing. except Saturday, from last week
until the middle of September. This is
very proper and fair. 1t gives the clerks
some time for themselves during the
hot days and works no hardship to any
one The public can enforce the closing
OF all places of business if it so desires,
simply by refraining from making pur-
chases at any store kept open after the
agreed closing hour. Only persons with
very selfish dispositions will ask or ex-
pect the stores to remain open later
than eight O'Clock for their accommo-
dation, and thereby keep clerks in them |
who have been in these stores since six
o'clock in the morning.

Give the Roads Attention.

There is no road leading from Milford
in better shape for public use, than
that from Milford to Cedar Beach; but
the road supervisor, Mr.. George H.
Titus, should give it attention, by hav.
ing the chuck holes filled. A scraper
made Of heavy piece of timber would
fill the ruts quickly and effectively in
many places; but the holes need a
wagon to haul clay into them. A very
few dollars expended now, will make
and maintain a first-class road for
year to come. Attention to the little
things will save more costly work a
year hence.
