Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 September 1885 — ANNOUNCEMENT. [ARTICLE]

ANNOUNCEMENT.

For thirteen successive seasons the Jasper County Agricultural Society has sent out its annual Premium List, w ith such additions and changes from year to year as were deemed best by the Directors of the Society to make the exhibition successfnl, and now the present managers and directors present to the citizens of Jasper and adjoining counties the Fourteenth Premium List of this Society, with many additions and changes which are designed to make the list more uniform and satisfactory toall concerned. Premiums in many cases have been increased and the list greatly extended. The officers and directors feel confident that these changes and additions will meet with the approval of all former exhibitors and secure a much larger exhib'-tion for our Fair, September Bth, 9th, 10th and 11th, 1885. We call the especial attention of the Ladies to our ew Floral Hall. The list of articles to be exhibited in this department is very large and gives ample c pportunity for a splendid and attractive exhibit.— It is the design and wish of the directors to make our large now Hall the center of attraction, and with the assistance of the Ladies of Rensselaer, and the co-operation of the Ladies of the countr % an exhibit surpassing all former efforts will be made..

Farmers, stockmen, and the owners of horses for speed, will find the premiums in their departments up to the times and equal to those offered by most of County or Dis ■ trict Fairs. AYe invite merchants, manufacturers and mechanics to make displays of their wares, and thereby assisting the society in their efforts to make tho Fair attractive. The Directors have wisely concluded to not sell family tickets, believing the principle to be wrong, unfair and unjust. In the way of admission, they have adopted n uniform admission fee, which is designed to be equal, every person receiving the same value for the same monev. Complimentarie.i will be given to all Superintendents in the Flo ral Hall, and we ask that they assist in every way the labors of the Awarding Committees for their respective departments, and report to the Secretary any irregularities or violations of the rules of the Society that may come to their notice.

Kentland Gazette, republican: “John Sherman’s Ohio speech makes the Democracy ho>l.” “John Sherman’s JOhio speech” makes the Indianapolis Times, a republican paper, “howl”: “We are obliged to report that as a keynote speech it falls short of the mark. There is nothing in it to alarm democrats or inspire republicans.” “John Sherman’s Ohio speech” makes the Indianapolis News, also a republican paper, “howl” that the position of Sherman was “that of a man riding backward on a railroad train: he never saw anytfiing till it was passed. Sena or Sherman’s speech shows that to be his attitude, and if it is that of the republican party as it is that of the Indianapolis Journal, then all three are going to seed.” How the doctors disagree! The big ones are inclined to fear that “John Sherman’s Ohio speech’’ is sure evidence that the party is “going to seed,’; while the little ones pronounce it “the greatest effort of his life.”
