Reasons.
Whereas, the keeping open of^he
Mores and business, bouses of Jhe
'city on 8alurday nights until tuilve
o'clock Is a great hindrance to putny,
of Iho young men and ladies ftp
attending Sunday school and bhjtifeli
service on Sunday morning by UPD- ;
ing them up until such a late ljbtnr
and whereas. It also affords a Reason
for many not employed toTTnmnln
on the streets until a voryjato :/l
hour, which is a form of dissipation.
And whereas, we bcliertfjit
would be better for the merchants
and all concerned to close all butt:*
ness not later than 10 o'clock, (Jferd
h> giving everyono an opportune
ty to get a reasonable amountjgflj
rest from their week's labor that
they might be able to attend morn'
ing worship, and,
Whereas, we believe evoryond^canr
transact any trade or business by
10 o'clock Saturday night, and
ready to retire for rest, that th40 Jj
may be prepared to enter upon^thg
tulles of Sunday, therefore bo it >3
Resolved, That we encoflrggo
whatever effort is being made ^toward
closing the stores and ]>u*l~
ness houses at an earlier hour t>n
Saturday night.
Resolved further, that wo /!?
earnestly request that tho ciUQns
