ALL COMING TO RENSSELAER THE FOURTH.

Goodland Herald: The band has made a contract with Rensselaer to play there on the Fourth of Joly. Goodland Plaindealer: The Goodland band baa been engaged by the Rensselaer 4th of July committee and will play the “Star Spangled Banner” and other Patriotic Airs in that city on the Natal Day. Lowell Tribune: Rensselaer is the place where the majority of our people will celebrate, TheM. C. Wiley Baud will furnish music and our ball team is billed to play the Chalmers team. Go where the crowd is going. Brook Reporter: Rensselaer seems to be the only town in the country that has the sand to get upland dust sufficiently to celebrate tjia-4th of July. A big crowd from this place intend to go over and celebrate with the Jasperites if weather permits. White County Democrat: Company C under Capt. Brown and Lieutenants Cray and Davis is making active preparations to attend the Fourth of July celebration at Rensselaer where it is billed as one of the principal attractions. In the afternoon a sham battle will be fought between the Monticello Company and Co. M of Rensselaer. This is to be the big event* of the day and is expected to attract a large crowd. A large number from Monticello have signified their intention to go with the militia to Rensselaer. Monticelle Herald: Editor Healy of the Rensselaer Republican and Editor Babcock of the Jasper County Democrat have both been here in the past week billing the town for Rensselaer’s Fourth of July celebration Rensselar is going to have a mammoth demonstration and a big crowd on that day. The sham battle between Co. M and Co. C will be a great attraction in itself, and then there will be a SSO ball game between Chalmers and Lowell an industrial parade, a run by the Fire Departments “slide for life” from the court house tower, aud a blast of rock in the bed of the Iroquois river. The day will close with a fireworks display at night which will excel anything of the kind ever seen at Rensselaer. Special railroad rates will prevail and Monticello will likely furnish a big contribution to the crowd. All the attractions will be free.
