EVERYTHING is NOW READY
FOR SOCORRO COUNTY
Big ANNUAL FAIR
Governor Curry Has Promised to Be Here-Hon.
w. E. Martin Will Deliver the Opening
Address-The Grand Parade Will Be
a Marve1-The Sports Will Be
Many. Fast, and Fur
ious-Come!

Everything is now in readi-
ness for Socorro countY's Second
Annual Fair, the greatest ever
held between Albuquerque and
FL Paso.
Hon. w. +. Martin will make
the welcoming address and the
occasion will without doubt in
Spire him TO his most splendid
oratory.
Governor Curry will respond to
Mr.. Martins address of welcome
and will formally open the fair.
This fact alone will attract one
of the biggest crowds ever as
sembled in Socorro county.
The grand parade will not be
less than a mile long and it will
present many attractive features
worth going far to see. Magda-
lena, Kelly, San Antonio and
Carthage will be represented in
the line.
There will be several games of
baseball between the rival teams
of the county, horse races, bron-
co busting by some of the best
riders of New Mexico, and other
sports too numerous to mention,
The cowboy entertainments
will be among the leading feat
ures of the fair. The chief of.
these will be the cowboy dimes
to Governor Curry Monday noon
and the cowboy dance in costume
Wednesday night.
Besides all this, there will be
many exhibits both interesting
and instructive. The agricul-
tural exhibit will be in a large
tent on the north side of the
plaza, the mineral exhibit of the
School of Mines in the corner
room of the Masonic block, and
the home cooking and fancy work
exhibits in the room adjoining.
There will be baby show also,
which everybody should see.
These are but few of the many
attractions at the fair. Every
one of the five days will be chuck
full of fun and frolic and nobody
within the wide bounds of So
corro county can afford to miss
being here.
Remember the time, beginning
next Monday and continuing un-
til Friday night.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known in the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list Of testimoni-

When you go to buy property it has a
high value, but when it is assessed for
taxation, the property undergoes a
shrinking process. There are some
who cannot realize how much their
property has enhanced in value since
they came into the ownership of it
many years ago. These people would
like to return it for taxation as when it
was practically worthless. We have in
mind property purchased for less than
$4,000, which is now worth, and will
bring $50, 900, yet the owner objects to
the assessment being raised to sixty
per cent of its value. Remove every
building from this property and the
naked lot is worth over twice as much
as he has the whole business lot and
buildings returned at People who own
large property should be as reasonable
as those who own but little, are forced
to be. There is no disposition to do ally
body an injustice, but there is pur-
pose to have the property of this town
assessed at a fair and an equitable ass
essment. Heretofore, the records will
show most outrageous discrimination
in property values, pre- :,erty valued BY
its owners at 81, 900 or more per acre,
assessed at about 81 per acre. Men
with little property actually paying a
larger tax than some who have many
times more property. Even the large
property holders who have been escap-
ing taxation must admit change in our
system is needed as matter OF justice.

Opposed to the Memorial.
Editor The Manning Times:

an sorry to note that you are con.
question. which you might know can
ouly have the effect of stirring up the
bitterness YOU pretended to deprecate
when YOU commented on my first artl-
Gle.
Il was stated in your issue OF Sept. s.
by both you and myself, that the par
ties holding claims on the school site
had definitely decided to relinqulsh
their claim TO the school district for the
sum OF S2, 900 or thereabout, and as the
name OF the school was the condition to
be removed from the deed, the name
would from thenceforth be changed, as
you stated, to the Manning Graded
School, or anything else the people may
see fit
Capt. Davis informs me that the
transfer is in process of execution, but
will require some time. as several OF
the parties whose signatures are nec-
cessarE reside in other states.
These persons who enter into this
agreement are responsible gentlemen
and ladies, and would not so back on
their agreement like a lot of irrespon-
sible children. The title to the land on
which the new school building is to be
located, of necessity had to be cleared,
and common Justice required that those
holding claims should receive reason
able compensation.
submit that this property to be used
as q memorial should be either paid for
outright land it will require about S40,-
600 to complete itI by those who may
propose to so use 1t, or it should be
voted for that purpose by the qualified
voters OF the district without any money
consideration to befog the issue, for as
you can ~eadily see if,lsay $1,000, were
invoked and was liable to be lost on q
negative vote, and the election went for
the memorial, the S2,000iwould have
simply been an amount expended 10
purchase votes, and no highminded per-
son would want a memorial acquired in
this way.
You very unkindly insinuated that I
had "hidden reason" for my position
in this matter. bat will state that my
only reasons were summed up in the
concluding words Of my first article on
the subject:-"For the public good"
All other reasons, including self in
terest would have prompted me to
silence rather than to seemingly oppoS-
ing persons who hare shown so many
evidences Of friendship to me, and 9TH
ers close of kin to me, but sometimes
what seems TO US to be duty, forces US
into paths we would prefer to leave un-
trod, even II we have to lay ourselves
liable to the charge of ingratitude
Which is conceded to be great sin.
Please accept thanks for allowing me
so much of your space.
