MARKET DAY ONCE DURING EACH MONTH

Merchants’ Association Held Meeting and Made Several Changes—lo , .. :V O’clock Set for Starting. The Merchants* Association held a meeting at Collins* shoe store Friday night The purpose of the meeting was to decide on the next Bale date and to rectify some of the mistakes that were made in the first big sale, which was held last Thursday. The next sale will be held about the middle of April and will not start at any store until 10 o’clock a. m. The merchants decided that herdafter all articles for the auction sale must be listed with the clerk of the sale before sale day. This sale is held more for the farmers’ use than small articles or peddlers’ wares, and the clerk will reserve the right to reject certain, articles. It was decided to hold the market day once each month and it should prove to be a great thing for the business welfare of the city. It also offers many advantages to farmers and people of neighboring towns in the way of bargains. Several new features will probably be added to the already attractive market day program. ' If the day is held on Thursday, as the first one was, and the band concerts are held on the same evening, Rensselaer should be crowded from one end to the other with country people and others from neighboring towns, and Market Day will be a great event in this vicinity.
