Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1907 — The Jasper County Fair. [ARTICLE]

The Jasper County Fair.

The local talent entertainment, the Jasper County Fair, to be given in the opera house, Thursday, Nov. 7, for the benefit ot the C. E. society of the Christian church, will be the finest and most interesting entertainment ever given here. This will be a real county fair with pumpkins, potatoes and cabbage on display and real bicycle races, horse races and pig races. Plenty of fakers will be there with their gold bricks and side shows, a real wild man and fat lady. Advertisements have been sent to all the neighboring towns and counties and it is likely t there will be an unnsnal crowd in attendance. At any rate Jake Sprucely and his wife have sent word they will be on hand and as they are related to half the people of the county the Sprucely family will likely have a reunion right in the fair grounds. Parson Briggs will be ont to look after his flock and keep them away from the temptations which are bonnd to lie in their paths on an occasion of this Kind. —Adv.
