The rural carriers 1| will not go out on their routes that , day. There has been no statement issued with reference to the closing of business houses, but it is presumed that the usual custom will be followed of Keeping open at least a part of day by some of the stores, while others will remain open all day. There may be an agreement by which the larger stores will close for the entire day so that the proprietors and their clerks can either have the day with their families or go visiting, whichever they choose.
