It is said that very little business is done during the evening at this season of the year, and the little that is done oould just as well come in during the day, as it is with town people. The clerks have little time at their homes or with their families under the present arrangement, and it is hoped that the one or two business men who have thus far stood ont against the proposition will come in and give the matter a trial for a few months.
