    1. [MSJEFFER-L] 1904 Expo Edition of the Fayette Chronicle
    2. Ann Allen Geoghegan
    3. Hi Folks I am in the process of putting the entire 20 page edition of a Special Edition published in the Fayette Chronicle on July 29, 1904 in Honor of the 1904 World's Fair which was going on at St. Louis, Missouri at that time. This was sent to me by Pat Taylor in Humble Texas and is a treasure we will all enjoy! It is a veritable gold mine of information! I have uploaded the entire newspaper to the Jefferson Site but it is NOT visible! I will be placing all of the individual photos with biographies and the articles and Ads on the site on individual pages. If you would like to view the directory where these are located there will be a link to the directory at the bottom of this message. However, I must warn you, Do NOT attempt to download these files unless you have Broadband (DSL)! The files are extremely Large in order to have them retain readability should you ever want to print them out! Each of the 20 pages consists of two parts, the top half of the page and the bottom half of the page. If anyone would like to have this on a CD let me know by private email to anniegms@bellsouth.net and we will work something out! The issue is very old and fragile and I will donate it to the MS Department of Archives and History on my next trip to Jackson along with several other items which have been sent to me and are much too valuable to remain in private hands! (The 1917 Jefferson Annual for instance!) Look for the individual bios to begin showing up on the site very quickly, in the meantime the EXPO Directory is located here: (Note don't put anything after the last trailing slash!) http://www.rootsweb.com/~msjeffe2/Expo/ Ann Allen Geoghegan Jefferson County CC Ann Allen Geoghegan AKA "AnnieG" Researching Jefferson & Franklin County, MS I wasn't born in MS but I got here as quick as I could!
