The attendance at Fountain Park Tuesday was all that could have been desired. The day was an ideal one, and it is estimated that the crowd numbered between 7,000 and 8,000 people. All the surrounding towns were well represented, especially by Rensselaer, Goodland, Kentland, Fowler, Wolcott and Monticello. Mr. Bryan was driven to the Park direct from the noon train and took dinner there. After dinner he sat out on the hotel veranda and was met by and shook hands with thousands of people, until it came time for him to proceed to the tabernacle. He began his lecture, "The Value of An Ideal,” at 3 o’clock, and concluded at 4:30. The lecture was well received by the vast assemblage of people, many of whom had held their places for hours previous to his beginning, in order to get a good place and a seat to hear the distinguished visitor. None were disappointed in his talk, and his splendid voice and clear enunciation reached even those on ihe outskirts of the crowd plainly. His subject was one that appealed to the better judgment and feelings of his hearers, and dealt with a higher moral plane of citizenship. A truly elevating and inspiring lecture, is the only way we can express it. It was the day of days at Fountain Park, and the attendance justified the management in bringing Mr. Bryan here. It was the largest day Fountain Park ever saw.

Yes, friend Gillam, we are axious to see the fishing toga of our Gillam friends. We can almost imagine how they will look when dressed in their anti-mosquito suits and extension boots. By delving a little deeper into our imagination we can see those birch poles with lines fastened to them, supplemented by corn-cob bobbers and spike nail sinkers. Ye gods, they will resemble Santa Claus. Please don’t let them oppose Santa, for Xmas sake. Just as I have often said, Kankakee township is tbe banner township of the county. You cannot keep it down. It will rise in spite of the attacks of a few deer-faced fellows. We have just discovered in Kankakee township, on the farm of my good friend, Wm. Fitzgerald, one mile north oP Dunnville, the finest and largest gravel bed in Jasper county. The gravel is of the best quality and is being used at Wheatfield now in the construction of cement walks.
