 The remains of Gertrude, youngest daughter of the late James Rowland, of Fairfield, was brought and laid by the side of her father in the vil- lage cemetery, Monday morning week. She died in Brooklyn at the home of her mother, after an illness of less than a week. She was lovely girl, active in all good work, an earnest worker in the church of Rev MT Sprouts. The floral from friends were many and very beautiful, but the audiences of her death, came with crushing weight to her widowed mother and brothers and sisters.

It is probable that Fairfield, al- though some of it's residents have object ed to the village being tracked, will swing into line with Bridgeport in agree ing with their plans.

 1.-THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
 The celebration of children's day this year has taken patriotic form in many schools. The subject of the exercises at the Congregational church was, My Country" in the morning the pastor preached an excellent sermon to the young people on spiritual patriotism, and six children were baptised. In the evening the exercises of the Sabbath school were held at z o'clock and ended with short address by Judge Perry of Southport. The congregation filled the church at both services. The decor ations consisted principally of draperies of our national flag and bunting. They were surprisingly beautiful and great credit is due to Mir Dallas, the pastor rfykp fA, hn nfTn duced. A collection was taken for the benefit of the Congregational Sunday school and publishing society, amounting to $l5.
