EARLY CLOSING.

Business Men Fail to Agree and All Stores Now Open. The early closing movement in Rensselaer is at an end, by reason of failure of the business men to reach an agreement for its continuation. As a result the stores will all be open evenings from now on until further notice, but perhaps an agreement may be reached next fall again for early closing during the winter months. The plan has been tried here only two months, and while in the main it has been quite satisfactory, a few who entered into the agreement have chafed under the restriction, and welcomed a change to go back to old conditions.
