All Of the dry goods and clothing

All of the dry goods and clothing
stores of the city closed Wednesday
afternoon according to an agreement
between the proprietors, and the bust
ness section appeared as if in mourn
ing for some public calamity. The ac-
ton has bred a feeling of general dis
content among the clerks and pro-
prietors who are not profiting by this
arrangement and it is thought prob
able that, commencing with next
Wednesday afternoon all other
branches of trade which can do so
consistently with their particular in
terests will follow the example of the
others.

That there should be set apart day to be observed ds ''Woman's Home Day" by the Associa- ton was a suggestion of Mrs. T. w. Hannon when she became President of the Association four years ago.

 The attendance of yesterday in oe- servance of "Woman's Home Day" et the Home was large and the reports of officers, committees and members showed that the canvass for the Hon'e among the business men and among the citizens generally of Montgomery had resulted in the largest contribution to the support of the Home in the history of the Association.
 In her work as President of the Wo- mans Home Association, Mrs. Hannon has the loyal support of every officer and member
 An especially gratifying feature 0. the meeting yesterday was the recep- tion into the Association of several new members. The "Woman's Home and the Womans Home Association is con- sidered as being in the best condition, in every respect. in the history of tGe OrRaniZa ton.
