Stores Have Agreed to Close On July Fourth.

Practically every businessman in Rensselaer has agreed to close his place of business all day on July Fourth in order to give their employes a chance to spend the holiday as they see fit. A number of neighboring towns are to celebrate in a quiet way and it is probable that Rensselaer will be a pretty deserted place on the Fourth.
