The writer attended the Michigan
Republican Newspaper Association
meeting held in Owosso Tuesday and
Wednesday and reports an enjoyable
and profitable outing, The people of
Owosso royally entertained the newspaper men, the latch strings being always out extending to the middle of
streets. At the banquet Hon. James
O'Donnell of Jackson presided and *he
following named gentlemen made
rousing speeches: Hon. Chase S.Osborn
Hon. William Alden Smith, Hon. J.
C, Burrows, Hon. E. L. Hamilton,
Hon. Washington Gardner, Hon. Perry
F. Powers. The next meeting of the
association will be held at Petoskey
some time in June.
Most of the merchants of Clare
have at last decided that "all work
and no play make Jack a dull boy."
and have taken theinitiative to what
we trust will ultimately result in
the closing of all stores at least as
early as seven p. m. Commencing
next week all dry goods, clothing and
hardware stores will close at 6:30 local time all nights except Mondays
and Saturdays, and later the groceries will doubtless fall ia line. We
took particular pains wbile in Owosso
this week to inquire as to the closing regulations there and find that
the dry goods, clothiug and shoe
stores, close at six o'clock sun time,
the hardware stores at half past six,
and the groceries at seven except
Mondays and Saturdays—no regula-
lation as to drug stores. In other
towns of the state the drug stores
take turns as to keeping open Sundays and evenings. Mayor Hume of
Owosso informed us that at flrst
there seemed to be objections to
early closing but after three years
all are perfectly satisfied and none
would return to the former regulations. The objection has been
raised that the farmers wouid not be
in favor of closing, but we feel sure
that tbe people of the rural districts
are perfectly willing that the merchants and clerks have a little time
for sociability and recreation, and
would not prevent them from enjoying the pleasure of spending tbeir
evenings With their families in their
homes. This plan is in vogue in all
of the up-to-date towns in the state
and is entirely satisfactory, and Ciare
is bound to hoe her row with the
rest of them, The following have
agreed to the conditions: Bauttfgarth
Bros,, Davy & Co., W. Wolsey, The
Bicknell Co., W. H. Elden, E. H.
Waller, W, T. Davies, A. J. Doherty
& Sons, J, R. Goodman, The Clare
Hardware Co,, M'rs. F. M. Davidson,
Mrs, K. M, Goodman and Mrs. T. J.
