The members of st. Mary's church
have decided to hold their fair Thanks.
giving week, opening on Tuesday even
ing, Nov. %, and continuing four nights.
Already arrangements are in progress
to make the fair the greatest event of
the year and more successful socially
and financially than any Catholic fair
ever held at Manchester. Young and
old remember with pleasure the fairs
gone by and recall with happy feelings
the ieeting hours spent in the Rink du.
ring fair time.
The next fair will be more than
repetition of the past; it will be record
breaker for amusements, attractions
and excitement of every kind.
Beside the characteristic side shows
and the side-splitting clog dance, lovers
of oratory will have an opportunity of
listening to one of. the most gifted
speakers in the state. The sweet notes
of some of Manchester's song birds as
we'll as some noted singers from neigh.
boring towns will gladden. the heart of
the musical and awaken in many doz-
ing breast memories of long ago. The
childen of st. Xavier's school will give
an entertainment and all who had the
pleasure of seeing them before on the
stage will want to see them again.
Those who delight in the social hop
will have ample opportunity to indulge.
First-class music will be furnished.
The great and exciting feature of the
fair, however, will be the friendly con-
test for gold chalice between Fathers
Ryan, of Ryan; Hanly, of Monti, and
Murtagh, of Nashville. Friends of
the different contestants are already so.

success.
raise money for the benefit of St. Mary's
church. Within the last two months
considerable Improvements have been
done on the church and its surround
ings. The old rock edifice, which was
SO dis9gured by the winds and rains Of
years, has been transformed into q
beautiful brick structure, which is q
credit not only to the Catholic commun-
ity, but to the city Of Manchester. A
new cement sidewalk has replaced the
old worn out walk that was 80 long q
menace to those who had occasion to
pass over it. Besides these improve
ments thUse who drive along Butler
street will notice many others not neces-
sary to mention here. To pay off the
expense incurred the members of the
congregation do not rely so much on
their own resources as on the aid they
hope to receive from their non. Catholic
friends. Judging from the past and the
encouragement they are daily receiving
they have every reason to be confident
of this aid. Without fear of failure,
therefore, they undertake to hold an
other fair and look forward with un.
bounded confidence for Q successful
! lslue.

JACKSONVILLE
 WILL CONTEST Election in Which Anniston Won
 the County Site. A MANDAMUS WAS ISSUED By Judge Brewer Directing That Off, cials Move Records Back to Jacks sonville, or Show Cause
 Why They Should Not
A MANDAMUS WAS ISSUED

Anniston, May 2.-(Special.) )-Jacksonville has decided to contest the election by which Anniston won the county court house from her by a majority of 1,6O4 on April 18 Al lof the county of1cias have moved from the court house at Jackson vile to temporary quarters here, except the circuit clerk and the tax collector, and they intend moving tomorrow.
 The contest comes in the ,shepe or a Inan- damus today from Judse sSrewer, requir- ing the county oflciss to move the records and papers ofSrneir offices back to Jack sonville or show cause at Talledaga on Friday, May 5, why they should not. It Is stated that the fight will be made upon the constitutionality of the special act un- der which the election was hed it being claimed that those portions of the act re- ferring directly to the election were un- constitutional in as they varied largely from the general election law and that this is prohibited by the constitution.
 The county officials who are here will re- main until the matter is finally settled and the other two officers who have not moved will probably do so as if there was no contest pending.
