FAIRFIELD, June 5.
Among the many changes which have taken
place in our village, none is more deeply re-
gretted by all our citizens than the removal
from town of DR.. e. G.. Fogg and family.
Coming here twelve years ago, a young man
and practitioner, he has, by constant applca-
tion to his profession, won the regard of very
large circle of friends. In his practice he has
been highly successful, while in society his in
f1uence has ever been for improvement and
the social uplifting of the masses. Such men
are loss to any community, and though 9TH
ers come to fill the vacant places, yet there is
loss felt by the entire village and town. DR..
Fogg goes to Nebraska, in the vicinity Of Oma-
ha, where he will attempt to realize the dream
of his life, in farming and stock breeding He
carries with him sixteen head of Jersey cattle,
forty-ive thoroughbred merino and high
grade sheep, large brood mare and colt. A
large number gathered at the station this
morning to bid the family goodbye.
One who has taken pains to watch the faces
of our lumbermen the past few weeks has seen
changes great and marvellous First it was
feared that the logs would remain on their
landings, and these men looked as though the
milk of humanity had frozen while they So
journed in the woods. Then came the rain,
and, like summer shower upon the dry earth,
it frightened the faces and smoothed the wrink-
les until old men looked like boys, and earth
seemed fair again. But lately there have come
distant threatenngs. The rains have contin-
ued, the floods have burst upon us, and the
mighty river threatens to break the bands OF
wood and iron, and sweep the product of a
winter labor out into the sea. The boom has
broken, and a few logs have gone out beyond
the reach OF their owners. and again long faces
and forbidding looks have greeted US.
At the present writing it looks as though the
usual number Of logs would be RATED and a
seasons work ensured for the mills This, to
Fairfield, is everything For upon the success
of numbering operations the business OF the
place almost entirely depends.
The pulp mill is not yet in operation, though
work is being pushed as raj idly as possible.
Farmers think they, too, have cause for COM
planning, for their fields are still too wet to
plant, and their corn is not yet sprouting.
Grass is looking finely. and large hay crop Is
predicted. About 225 acres OF sweet corn
have been contracted for, and crew are all
ready at work at the shop, making cans and
putting things in readiness for the coming sea-
sons operations.

nation of Mr.. Eustis does not provoke great
enthusiasm, even in his own party, which two
years ago numbered one. Neither does Solon

backism, find responsive echo in the hearts OF
the people. The nomination OF Gov. Plais-
ted BY the Fusionists and Democrats being
foregone conclusion, the interest centers in the
Republican convention. A canvass OF falr-
field would reveal mixed condition of affairs.
Mr. Thomas has friends, though we think Mr..
Robbie has more, while the greater portion are
waiting and watching for the clark horse. !"
Whoever is nominated will receive the hearty
support of all. 1t seems as though there was
more interest in the nominations for Congress-
men than for Governor, aud considerable feel
ing is manifested in reference to the eastern
candidate.
We notice upon our park half dozen fold
ing lawn settees, donated by the senior partner
of the Maine Manufacturing Co., John e. Cot
ton. This company is building up a large busi-
ness in manufacturing folding lawn settees and
chairs of different styles and sizes, folding lap
boards and tables, and their orders for foreign
shinment ara constantly increasing. SETH.
