the business limits of the Grove, and the spirit of the ag-

looking to a removal of all restrictions.
Happily this has been settled to meet all present
demands in this direction by the lawful exten-
sion of the business limits.

Some abuses of Sunday opening have been
called to notice and the town trustees have passed an
ordinance to meet this. It is feared that this ordi-
nance is not quite effective and a stronger

ordinance is ready unless the abuse ceases.
The general situation is encouraging and the
Grove is enjoying a good degree of prosperity with
promise of a large increase of wider interest in
the near future.
