Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 September 1914 — Only Fair Attendance at Fountain Park Sunday. [ARTICLE]

Only Fair Attendance at Fountain Park Sunday.

A large number of Rensselaer people were over to Fountain Park Sunday, the closing day of the assembly. While the attendance was fair, it was not quite upj to expectations. President W. I. McCollough informed us that it was probable the assembly would not quite pay out. They had an extra good program this year, one which cost them about S4OO more than the programs heretofore, and Mr. McCollough thought that It was probable they would lack about SIOO of breaking e'ven. The Lincoln chautauquas in other nearby towns and other attractions curtailed the attendance this year.
