Fountain Park Assembly To Open August 14th.

The fifteenth annual session of the Fountain Park Assembly will be held at Remington, August 14th to 29th. A splendid program has been prepared. The opening day is Grand Army and Sunday school day. All members of the Grand Army Posts and Relief Corps will be given free tickets if application is made through the commandants of the Posts and Relief Corps to the Secretary. The Sunday schools of Jasper, Newton, Benton and White counties who will agree to come as a school, bringing their banners and flags with them and be' prepared to furnish one recitation, or one song, will be supplied with tickets of admission free for all actual members of such schools, provided the superintendents of the different schools will notify C. H. Peck, secretary, on or before August Bth and give tickets only to those who are regularly enrolled scholars of the school. Thursday, August 19th, will be Old Settlers’ day. Every old settler, both male and female, 65 years of age, who has resided in any of the adjoining counties 35 or more years, is cordially Invited to come and be the guest of Fountain Park. An address will be made on this occasion by Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the House of Representatives. The Remington and Earl Park bands have been engaged for the sessions. I. B. Marris, of Azalia, who is the unofficial weather prophet for Bartholomew county, is out with a new prediction. He says that county and southern Indiana generally will experience dry weather from now until about the first of September, with the exception of a few local showers. There is a strong impression In New York that President Taft will offer Governor Hughes the first vacancy that occurs in the United States supreme court.
