 The stores in PlainNllc will ob- serve the regular Wednesday after noon closing commencing Wednesday, June s. They will continue until Sep tcmbcr 2S. There has been some dis cussiOn, however. among the grocery stores regarding tho closing on that afternoon. Practically all the busi- ness men dealing in groceries are in favor of closing with the exception of one. Taking tnis into consideration, the grocery stores have reached a deadlock and hava not decided wheth- CT or not they will close as the other establishmcntJ will do.
 The storei' who arr favorinG tha plan Of closing do no, feel tha: it would be fair for one grocery store to remain open and thereby receive the bulk of any trading which may take place on Wednesday afternoons. There are about seven leading grocery stores in the town and six of them had announced their intention of clos ing. Like a bombshe1l. however. the remaining stOrekeeper refused to fol- low the rule and caused the others 'o consider their intentions. Thre '-"v be roplo romprOm so reached be-  bly all the grocery stores will agree to . .,-C.

A report on tn" drive wil! then bo made and the exact amount of money collected made known. The people have responded readily to the cause considering the decided business depression.
