Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 August 1907 — EVERYBODY WAS THERE SUNDAY. [ARTICLE]

EVERYBODY WAS THERE SUNDAY.

A large number of Rensselaer people visited Fountain Park Sunday. Every available rig in the town there and more people wonld have gone had there been more conveyances. It was not so mnob Congressman Watson that drew them as it was to have some place to go and sit in the shade and onpack the basket of fried chicken and other good things to eat that were taken along, and then after dinner roam about the grounds and greet old friends and acquaintances. The farmers had laid aside threshing, of coarse, and were all there with their families, swelling the crowd to 4,000 or 5,000. The weather was perfect and the drive home in the cool of the evening with the moon shining brightly ~ overhead was delightful. One coaid pot help bnt feel better and be better morally and spiritually, for mingling with each a crowd of good people on so perfect a day. The Assembly closes to-morrow.
