People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 June 1895 — Celebrate the Fourth! [ARTICLE]

Celebrate the Fourth!

The plans and energy being put forth to celebrate the Fourth will make it the greatest event of the kind ever given in Rensselaer. More money is being raised than at any previous occasion, and the committee have the hearty support of the business men and all other citizens. It will be a hummer. Valparaiso has shown its aristocratic nature in passing an ordinance forbidding the passing of hand bills or other advertising matter on the street, or distributing the same at residences, ft is a species of narrow minded intolerance the popular verdict of every freedom loving community should repudiate. The passing of bills is as legitimate as any other part of a man's business.
