 Items of Interest.
 A deadlock has been reached by the local merchants in the matter of clos ing stores on "Wednesday afternoons during the summer months as has been the custom in other years. A few of the leading storekeepers have refused to come out either in favor of closing or rmaining open. which fact has caused a number of the smaller merchants to allow the matter lay in abeyance. About one-half the deal CTS, it is estinat ted, will close regard less of whether the custom is uni versally accepted in the town or not.
 Those who will close, provided oth- CTS mentioned observe the rule, are:
 w. J. HemmingWay. H. A. James Clothing Store, 5-10-2J Cent Store, Atlantic and Pacific. George M. Rich, Modern Market Conforti's Confec- ti"rery store. Simpsons Grocery store, Hutton Clothing store. PIainNille En- gineering Co., Economy Grocery, Plainvil1e Market. Italian-American Grocery. I. J. Birm baum and the Plainville Cash Market
 The remaining stores will keep open regardless of who will close, it is re- ported. Many arc of the opinion that the Chamber of Commerce should take the matter up. The Chamber. however, will not take up the matter of stores closing as that is settled among the merchants themselves, is explained.
