It was decided to hoLd aihpu't next May a fancy fair, under the direction of Signor Borzom. The whole of the congregation were elected as a general committee to make the preliminary arrangements, etc. Last Wednesday the Nelson Catholic Society brought their weekly meetings to a cl>'ose, when there was a) g(ood attendance.
