JAMES SEXTON. JR-, MAKES MANY IM-
 PROyEMENTS.
 A wonderful transformation has taken place at the stone yard of James Sexton, Jr., on Crescent avenue. At the expense of about 5000. MT Sexton has fitted up his grounds and made for himself very handsome office building. The ground on which his large stock of monuments stand has been surrounded with a neat low fence and in between where the monuments stand MT Sexton has planted quite quantity of shrubs. But the best part of the improvements is the hand some office now fitted up for himself and for place to receive his visitors. The room has been handsomely papered and with handsome framed designs of.menu- ments, statuary, easy chairs and center table it has quite the air of the reception room in some fine residence. The large exhibit which was in the armory is being put in here also and will form another very fine attraction to the already artrac- tive room. MT Sexton tells us he has & great amount of work on hand and last week sold over s6000 worth of work. He has recently made very extensive pur- chase of 15 car loads of monuments from Woodlawn cemetery yard, from Cstti- son & Clark, buying out their entire yard, and is now having them removed to his Bridgeport yard. This will make his display of monuments larger than ever and better stock to select from.

 The anniversary sale of the Rowland, Stark Go. was all that the most exacting firm could have asked. The store was thronged all day long and far into the evening with a crowd of shoppers who came to buy much more than to look. The firm. st the conclusion of it's first year of existence. finds itself firmly es. abolished in the affections of Bridgeport people, better equipped to serve them than it ever was before, and with the light of an additional year of experience to guide them through the trade laby' Iinths of another year.-[ ULion.
