RENSSELAER’S GALA WEEK

ALL ARRANGEMENTS ARE PERFECTED FOR THE BIG FALL FESTIVAL. The Jasper County Lave Stock Asociation has planned an extensively advertised Big Fall Festival and Live Stock Shows to be given in this city the last three days of this week. z Jasper county is fast taking high rank as the home of pure bred live stock and the progressive farmers and live stock breeders are sparing nothing to make their show this year a great success. If the weather is at all favorable this city will have the largest number of visitors known in its history. Free attractions have been secured and it is planned to have three big days and nights full of interest, fun and entertainment Rensselaer never fails to make a hit with its Home Talent Playa This year the local talent will present “The Wishing Ring” at the New Ellis opera house each night of the stock show. The play is very interesting and the people of' the city who are taking part in it are artists of rare ability. To add to the interest in this feature of the festival is the fact that the money I received from the sale of tickets, ; less the actual expenses, goes to the local charity board. Rensselaer extends to its neighbors a most hearty invitation to join us in these three days of entertainment. —- The Jasper County Telephone Company will hold an all-day open house on the last day,of the stock show, October 23, and invites every lady and gentleman, young or old, personally to visit their offices and inspect their equipment and all working conditions. They want to show you all the complications andminute apparatus of a central office. President &xid _
