BIG BENEFIT.

On next Wednesday evening, August Bth, Jasper county will give an immense festival on the court house grounds. Preparations are going forward rapidly and on a large scale. The court house lawn will be beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted. Company M will give a drill which every man, woman and child in the county should not fail to see. The Wolcott and Rensselaer bands will provide splendid music for the occasion. The hungry and thirsty crowd will find in the booths fifty gallons of ice cream, one hundred arge cakes, and over a hundred galons of lemonade ready for its consumption. A small per cent of the money obtained from the sale of the refreshments will pay for wool to be knitted into socks for Indiana soldiers—all the remainder goes into Company M’s pocketbook. Anyone wishing to donate money for the ice cream or lemons will please hand the contribution to Mrs. J. J. Montgomery. Any ladies wiling to furnish cakes can lighten the abors of busy community women by telephoning their names to Mrs. Arthur Hopkins or Mrs. J. J. Hunt. All of the surrounding counties with .sons in Company M are coming ,:in force, and Rensselaer, is expecting a big crowd and a big time.
