| Publwlied weekly at moirtii vernon, Indiana,Oct. 3, 19Thousands of Visitors HeretDuring Fall Festival Week.Displays of Farm Products Equal to State FairExhibits in Quality.North Vernon’s Third Annual Fall Festival closed Saturday evening and was pronounoed by merchants, citizens, farmers andvisitors to be one of the greatestj m *events of the kind ever held in• ’this city. From an agricultural viewpoint, the festival was a decided suooess and the exhibits in all lines of produce were such as to make one feel justly proud ofthe products of Old Jennings. In♦almost every exhibit the npmbe* of entries was greater than last year and according to the statement of the judges, the exhibits, taken generally, were seventy-five percent better than last year. The amusements, free street .at-tractions, shows, etc., wpre the kind that the people enjoyed and the Fall Festival Committee andMayor Stemm deserve muchcredit for the fact that no immoral shows marred the pleasure of the week, and that the childrencould be allowed to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent without any fear of them encountering any shows or street performances dangerous to their morality. Lloyd’s Minstrel show, which was composed of Greensburg home talent, was the leading attraction in the way of amusementT ■ ! ' *and the young men wop \hf praise of city and country people alike, by their clean show and catchy music and songs. The stock parade on Friday afternoon was better than ever and as usual the crowd was larger on Friday than on any other day. The most interesting features of the parade were the three sheep skin bands,the Gray ford Band, the DeputyBand and the Westport Band, each thrilling the listeners by their skillful handling of the fife and drum, as they marched along in the parade. The Gray ford bandwas composed of Captain DanJames, who was drummer in the 22nd Indiana regiment; JosephusRussell, drummer in the home*guards, 9th Indiana regiment; JN. Callicott, fifer Co. G.‘ 127th; J. W. Sigman, of Vernon and Lark Sigman, of Vevay, both Boldiers of the Civil War. Captain Dan James now lives in Vevay, and seemed to greatly enjoy again playing the drum with some of his old comrades. He and J. N. Callicott played together intimes of war, fifty years ago.
