General Sheridan

Thousands upon thousands of hearts
were made sad Monday, by the announce
ment OF the death of the world renowned
hero, the great soldier, Philip II. Sheri-
dan They had watched long and anx-
iously for his recovery, and prayed earn
estly that he might be spared many years
of peace and happiness with the family
he so dearly loved. OF late the hope had
been made brighter to the many by favor
able reports OF his condition, but those
who best Knew the nature of the disease
were less hopeful of the issue. and all
were alike shocked and made sad at the
death of the great warrior and good man.
His sincere mourners are not confined to
any section, party or calling in this
broad land A noble, a'grand, good
man is dead. and Nation mourns him.

The foundation for the new opera
house is laid, and the timbers for the
basement In place. 1t will be an impos-
ing structure. The size is l0OX46, and
when completed will satisfy long felt
want.
just now Fairfield is exercised over the
centennial which should be recognized
this year, 1t being one hundred years
since the town was Incorporated. The
proposition now is to hold three days
jubilee the last week in September, com
bine the centennial with trst-class cattle
show, a full exhibit of manufactures, and
two days of horse trotting.
The entries for the two days races,
August 8 and 10, closed Saturday, and
the total footings will exceed 20. Such
field has never been seen in town and
the attendance must be large.

The wife of S. S. Chapman, Esq, died
last evening after a brief illness. She
was a most estimable woman and will be
greatly missed not only in her family but
in the community at large.
| This community was shocked late last
Friday night to learn that Mr.. Stephen
Files had been found dead at the door OF
his home on Railroad street. He closed
his store as was his custom soon after 9
o'clock and went al once towards his resi-.
dence. Half an hour later he was dlscov-
cred by some ladies who were passing
laying on his back on the walk that leads
| to the back door. He was doubtless tax
en- with heart failure and died instantly
as there was no indication of any strug.
gle. Coroner Mayo was notified and at
tended hut as it was evident that his
death was natural no inquest was held.

Democratic County Convention.

\ CONVENTION THAT DID MOI CONVENE
Contrary to expectation the speakers
advertised for the Democratic County
convention, Tuesday last failed to come
to time and the county committee got
their heads together, and after consulta-
ton with the leaders of somerset Demo
cracy who appeared to be on the ground
in good numbers and condition, decided
to adjourn. The weather doubtless had
something to do with this decision but al
10 o'clock the hour of the proposed con
vention the rain had subsidized and q
heavy sprinkling OF stalwart Democrats
of Somerset occupied Coburn Hall. They
were not remarkably lively company
there seemed to be cloud other than 6
rain cloud resting over the audience
The convention adjourned to meet one
week later. The faithful feel the need
of being bolstered up by some pure
democratic doctrine. The tide is settina
very strongly against them and they evi
IDENTITY feel it.

no more Cleveland free trade. They will
vote for Harrison, Morton and Protec

other Free Trade heresies have done it
and no doubt there are others in tow
aud Somerset county who will follow
suit.
