THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1895

For several years Dr Talmage's ser mons have been published in the NEWS. About year ago the readers of the NEWS were requested to vote upon the question of substituting serial stories for Dr Talmage's sermons. Every bal lot cast was in favor of the sermons. Thus we feel convinced that the readers of the NEWS are deeply interested in the sermons, and also that their interest in Dr Talmage is similar to their interest in their local pastors, On Monday death entered the home of Dr Talmage and removed the beloved wife and mother. It seems proper at this time, and in this manner, to tender to Dr Tal- mage and his children the sympathy of NEWS and it's readers. On the first page is mentioned the particulars of Mrs Tal- mage's illness and death. At this time and place it is proper to state that owing to Mrs Tslmage's death, Dr Talmage will not deliver sermon on Sunday, Aug. II. and, therefore, none will be supplied for the NEWS of Aug. 15.

CLAYTON.

The ice cream social in Mir Lyles' orchard, north of the chapel, last Sat urday evening, proved quite successful, exceedingly so, considering the haste in which it was gotten up, the short time to circulate 1t, and the very strong. un, pleasant breeze which prevailed all the evening, making it impossible to have any lights, except lanterns. The ice cream which was furnished by Jacob Decker, was pronounced delicious and the gross receipts were over thirty dol lars, netting the Society about $21. AL ready it has been suggested that we have another of the same or similar nature in the near future.

Special Town Meeting.

The special town meeting, called to see what action the town would take in regard to making an application to the highway commissioners under the new law for aid in constructing section of highway, was called to order at p. m. Saturday. The attendance was very small, not more than 2l persons being present. A. B. Garfield was chosen moderator and D. c. Whittlesey. clerk. According to the new law, portions of which were read for the information of the meeting, applications to the com missioners must provide for the con- struction of Macadam or Telford roads or such other roads as would at all sea
 sons of the year be hard. Several gen. tlemen then expressed their opinions on the subject, especially D. l.. Freeman and John B. Reed, the former being mildly in favor of making the necessary appropriation and applying to the com missioners and the latter decidedly op- posed. After further and somewhat de- sultory discussion by others, a motion made by Joseph W. Peet to postpone the meeting indefinitely was carried.
 It was eyidentally the sense of the meeting that not only were there too few present to justify the making of an appropriation, but that the undertaking would involve the town iu too great an expense for the resources of tbis town, it appearing that Macadam roads cost from $3. 900 to $5. 900 and upwards pc, mile. This point was made very clea, by Mir Reeds remarks. MT Reed also urged that the town ought to place the management of it's roads in charge o
 some thoroughly ompetent roadmaker

A Great Paper.

The Bridgeport Union was four years old Aug. and celebrated the occasion by issuing forty page paper and dis tributing 10000 copies. The Union is large for it's age and is kept hustling in order to work off it's surplus energy. The forty page edition recounted the history or rise and progress of the Union, and also described many of the leading industries of Bridgeport. Forty page editions are the fad just now with metropolitan journals, nevertheless life is too short to wade through that amount of reading matter which if cut out of the 10000 copies and pasted to- gether as single column would reach from Bridgeport to Denver Col, and extend IA miles beyond that city, dis tance of ,944 miles.
