Fairfield. Nov. 4.-The series of
revival meetings now in pro-
gress at the First Methodist
Episcopal church are unique in that
they are being advertised bv means
of systematic service. Rev. Ira
Mr.. Gilmore. his singer, are assisting
the pastor, Rev. Thomas Osborn in
conducting the meetings. Some tine
before the series commenced big dis
play advertisements appeared in the
local papers announcing the approach
of the meetings. When the meetings
commenced the copy was changed and
stared every newspaper reader in the
face. Large placards with this word
ing were printed and posted promin-
emily in business houses and other
public places. At the bottom of these
appeared the announcement Of the
meetings. Smaller cards with the same
impressive inscription are distributed
to pedestrians. Special numbers Of the
series are effectively advertised With
dodgers and newspaper advertisements
and that results are being gotten is
shown that Rev. Hicks is preaching
to full houses every night, number
have been converted, and there is
great promise of many more.

The recent removal Of the lair
field postoffice from the old
building southeast Of the square
to the new building on Broad

leased to the federal government for a
term of ten years in advance, brings
to the minds of the old settlers the
stories of the first postoffico in Fair
field, which was in Thomas Dickey's
hat. Dickey, who also kept the first
hotel in Fairfield, was the first post
master. Upon payment of the moder-
ate fee of twenty-five cents for each
letter, the settlers We're able to pro-
cure their mail 1t Is not known
whether Dickey was ever regularly
appointed by the postoffice department
or whether he held Office merely
through the suffrance of the settlers
whom he SERVED. This was about the
year 1889.
