CENTENNIAL PROGRAM UNDER WAY

Plans Being Made for Celebration In Jasper County WILL INCLUDE THREE DAYS e Program Will Include Old-Time Melodies, Interesting Exhibit of Relics and Other Features. C. R. Dean, chairman of the committee for a centennial celebration in Jasper county, and F. L. Wildriek, superintendent of the Remington schools, have made a tentative outline of a program for the celebration in this county.

While a great deal yet remainH to be done, this outline will serve as a foundation on which to build the celebration program. The assistance of anyone who can and will help in this matter is desired. As now being planned, local programs will be held in Rensselaer, Remington and other points in the county on Friday, October 20. The nature of these programs has not been decided definitely. Saturday, October 21, will be Old Settlers’ day in Rensselaer, and it is planned to make this an interesting day with the exhibit of relics, spelling contests, musical programs, etc: Anyone having any relics of whatsoever kind will be conferring a great favor on the committee by making known their possession. On Monday, October 22, it is planned to have a speech at 2 o’clock p. m. by a member of the historical commission. At 7:15 p. m. there is to be a band concert by the combined bands of the county, playing old-time melodies, and at 8:1/1 p. m. the pictures “Indiana” will be shown. While it* is quite probable that many changes will be made in the •program given, yet this is substantially what an effort will be made to provide. It will take much labor to make this a go but with co-oper-ation it can be dons nicely. V
