 Giving each one you meet
 A fresh tale of woes.

It was a great pleasure mad privilege to attend the beautiful and unique ser- vice at the breaking ground for the new Clara Hall memorial church at South Willington.

 A great many Press readers will be interested in these extract from a recent letter from John Merrick Your reference in The Press to the sale of the Dea. Turner place calls upl "reminiscences of the building of that house in the summer of 1849, just 61 ! years ago this very summer. The ! house was designed by Augustus | Treusdel an architect of Coventry and | built by the late Emery P. Williams, who then lived in the James Holt place, which was later the home of l John B.

It would seem that I atpuld have pre- tty good idea of the arrangement of the rooms, as we lived several months in the parsonage on odr return to Wilmington in the fall aid winter of 1S62-8, the same winter that Mr. Pease became the pIstor.
