Fountain Park Opened Saturday

With an Extra Good Attendance. Fountain Park Assembly, near Remington, opened Saturday with a record-breaking crowd for the first day. Sunday, owing to the threatened rain, about noon, when many people would be thinking about starting to the park, there was just a fair, comfortable-sized crowd for the first Sunday. The program was good both days, in fact, an extra good program has been arranged for the entire assembly, and was enjoyed by all. The Euclid quartette furnished music for the afternoon and a part of the evening program, Sunday. The Remington band also giving a very enjoyable concert Sunday evening, and the sermon lecture by Roland A. Nichols in the afternoon was exceptionably good. Monday, and the rest of this week, the program consists in chief of domestic science demonstrations by Miss Maidie Schwacke, a concert Monday evening by the Jackson orchestra, musical entertainment Tuesday evening by the Hearon Sisters, and tonight will be an entertainment by the Pilgram Girls and character sketches by W. S. Battis. Thursday afternoon Bob Seeds will lecture, and in the evening Germain, the Wizard, will entertain the people. Friday afternoon and evening will be readings by Miss Maude Willis, also moving pictures in the evening.
