Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 81, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 June 1902 — Free Dinner Offer A Mistake. [ARTICLE]

Free Dinner Offer A Mistake.

The announcement recently published that free dinner and free horse feed would be furnished to all who attended the coming Lutheran church dedication, in Union Tp., was the result of a misunderstanding. The people up there are liberal and hospitable, but tbe congregation is very limited in number, and would not be justified in making any offer so likely to cause a very heavy draw on their finances. Especially as the building and furnishing of tbe ohuroh has been a very large undertaking for S 3 small a congregation.
