Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 88, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 July 1898 — Will All Dance Then. [ARTICLE]

Will All Dance Then.

The band concert of last Thursday evening was enjoyed even more than those delightful weekly musical performances always are. The weather was perfect, the musical selections struck the popular fancy and were most excellently rendered. It also seems to be a fact that concerts in front of the public square are enjoyed a little better than those given elsewhere. The stone coping gives plenty of good seats for those who wish “to take things easy, while the broad cement walk can be utilized for dancing. by those whose exerberance of bodily vigor inclines them to express their appreciation of the music by lightly tripping to its rythmic time on “the light fantastic toe.” By-and-by, some time along towards the last end of this century or the first end of the next, the contractors for the court house yard will put in the rest of the walks, and then everybody can dance. Young maids and young bachelors, old maids and old bachelors, the married and the unmarried, the worldly and the unworldly, the widows and the widowers, the grass widows and grass widowers, can all join in. When that time comes the more concerts that are held at the public square the greater will be the people's enjoyment thereof.
