People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 August 1896 — Parade Indicates the Show. [ARTICLE]

Parade Indicates the Show.

Be sure to he out for the parade ol' the Great Wallace Shows. It is a solid mile of glittering pageant, with many grand and artistic tableaux, beautiful women, handsome men, all gorgeously attired, and the finest horses ever seen any where. There are a number of bands, a herd of elephants, a caravan of camels and scores of open dens. The parade is a true index to the show; so see for yourself in advance whether this one is worth paying to attend. At Rensselaer, Sept, 4th. The Jasper County Republican Centra] Committee are erecting a wigwam on Hollingsworth & Hopkins lots in Riverside Park. It will be a substantially constructed affair 40 x 84 feet and well arranged for the accommodation of public meetings. We are sorry that this matter was not talked of soon enough that it could have been made a mutual affair between the Requblican, Democratic and Populist parties, and had one three times as large, and for the accommodation cf all as a better location could not be found for that purqose.
