People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1894 — The Fair. [ARTICLE]

The Fair.

That the Fair will be superior in point of interest to any enterprise ever engaged in by the members of St. Augustine’s Congregation is evident, from the fact that some of the most prominent men of the town have consented to take an active part in it. Messrs. John Eger and Frank Meyer have entered into a contest for a gold watch, which will be awarded to the one who will be declared the most popular business man of the town, by a majority of votes. Thus Messrs. Spitler and D. Nowels will test the sentiment of the people in regard to politics, and see which of the two is the is most popular, politician. A fine cane will be awarded to the one representing the party considered most popular by a majority of votes. Then Messrs. Michael Nagle and James Walters will compete for the honor of being the most popular member of St. Augustine’s Congregation. The one obtaining the honor will also be the receiver )f a gold watch. The Misses Ura McGowan and Maggie Healy iaboring under a serious doubt as to the one enjoying the greater popularity, have concluded to let the decision to the public. The most popular of the two will he presented with a fine ring. Nothing is left, undone by the lifferent committees, that can in any way contibHto towards the success of the Fair. Comical plays are being prepared for those who are fond of having a rood laugh, and dialogues and recitations for such who prefer something literary. A good time will be procured for every one attending.
