Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 April 1907 — RENSSELAER WILL CELEBRATE AGAIN. [ARTICLE]

RENSSELAER WILL CELEBRATE AGAIN.

The Democrat is requested to state that it is the intention of Rensselaer to celebrate the 4th of July again this year and in a manner that will lay in the shade the very successful and Satisfactory celebration of last year. Of course it is a little early perhaps to broach this subject, but the business men, who are interested in having a celebration, expect to take the matter up early so as to secure good attractions before the best are all engaged, *and to this end a meeting will be called early next month and a committee appointed to raise the necessary funds for the expenses. Then the work of securing attractions can be gone ahead with at once. As a nucleus we have a balance of $32.50 left over from last year, now in the hands of treasurer E. D. Rhoades. It ought not be difficult to raise a thousand dollars this year, which would pay for three or four good bands and provide the largest and best line of free amusements and attractions ever seen in this section of the state. It is the intention to make all attractions, absolutely free, as was the case last year.
