Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 June 1909 — PARR TO CELEBRATE THE 4th. [ARTICLE]

PARR TO CELEBRATE THE 4th.

I arr has arranged to celebrate the 4th of July this year, unless Rensselaer decides to celebrate, in which case they will abandon the matter. As nothing has been done or talked of here we presume there will be no celebration in Rensselaer. The patriotism of quite a number here seems to run to and like entertainments, a 4th of celebration not lasting long enough The Democrat believes Rensselaer ought to celebrate, but to get up a good celebration requires the cooperation of all the people, and this seems impossible to secure for a celebration here this year, several naving expressed themselves as of the opinion that we should not attempt it.
