FAIRFIELD'S PATRIOTISM. (Page 1)
Every One of the Forty-three Members of Conpany M, Ready for War. (sic)
  Last night at the Armorey, as Company M. were drawn up in line drilling, Captain HEATON stepped to the front of his company and made in substance the following statement; "Gentlemen, the country is in imminent danger of war, and this company is liable to be called to the front. Now, as I understand the case, you will not be compelled to give your services under the present enlistment unless you are willing to do so. Now is the time to decide whether or not you will go in case we are called. All members of this company who are willing to go to the front with me "shoulder arms." Every man in the ranks, without a single exception promptly came to shoulder arms. This speaks volumes for the brave manhood and patriotism of the members of Company M. and the people of Fairfield can well be proud of the boys, and in case of war any one of them will be found at the front.
  There are forty-three men on the list at present and the ranks are still open for healthy, able bodied men. Three men enlisted Monday night, and one last night. There is also an emergency list, made up of men who do not care to enlist under ordinary circumstances but who are ready in case of war.

CONNER WINS. (Page 1)
Our High School is Jubilant over the Result of Last Nights' Contest.
  A telegram this morning announced that Harry W. CONNER, Fairfield's representative in the southern division of declamatory contest, had won first place. This is a great honor and Harry's friends are rightly feeling jublilant today. This is the first time Fairfield has won first place and the high school students are in high glee. Mr. CONNER came in this afternoon on No. 10, and was met by a number of the boys, who received him in true college style.
  The event will be duly celebrated this evening at the home of Prof. WILLIAMSON at seven o'clock. The jubilee will take place on the lawn and will be participated in by our best best people. Speeches are expected from Mayor JAQUES, Rev. MARSH, Rev. BOATMAN, Professor VANCE and others. Good music will be on tap and a fine time is being arranged for. The people generally invited(.) Mr. CONNER will take part in a similar contest to be held at Ames, Iowa, April 22nd. We are all proud of our champion and sincerely hope to see him carry off state honors.

A Veteran. (Page 2)
  To J. F, CRAWFORD, the veteran east side merchant, is attached a history many of our people are not acquainted with. He was the first retailer in the town, coming here in '62. At that time the Indians were yet numerous, and for these elderly men we are indebted to the pleasant homes we have today in one of the best towns and state. Mr. CRAWFORD was also the first postmaster in Fairfield. At that time we presume people got along very well without carriers and it may be they would come in about mail time and wait until the post-master should run through all the mail for the letter with .25 postage, perhaps. Mr. CRAWFORD has a good stock of goods, groceries, etc. He has made a success in business by straight business methods, and does not now feel any effect of hard times.

  It is a savage-sounding name, WOLF & SKINNER, the new proprietors of the Fairfield JOURNAL, but we can assure the folks over there that the two Franks are the mildest and most genial of men ........ Frank WOLFE made his final graceful adios to the Imprint last week, and went to Fairfield to play no April Fool joke by taking charge of the JOURNAL, daily and weekly. Frank SKINNER will join him this week. Carson (Peg) FULTON made his bow to the Crawfordvillians in a graceful way, and he will work hard to deserve the support of that community.--Washington County Press.

OBITUARY. (Page 4)
  Mrs. Eva May GASKILL was born June 6, 1866, in Columbus, Indiana, where she grew to womanhood. She was married Sept. 3, 1885, to John MULLINIX, at Holdredge, Neb. With her husband she moved from that place to Fairfield in Sept. 1891, where she resided until her death. Saturday morning April 9, 1898, she was taken away to the Heavenly home, where there is no more sorrow, no more pain. Mrs. MULLINIX was a good Christian lady, and her life is a silent testimony for the religion she professed. She united with the First M. E. church at Columbus, Ind., but did not remove her letter from that church. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. BOATMAN, pastor of the M. E. church.
  Mrs. MULLINIX leaves a husband and six children to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. They have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends.
