Jasper County Fair Exhibits Draw Dense Crowds
Immense crowds attended the fortieth annual exhibition of the Jasper County Agricultural Society featuring horse and bicycle racing, animal displays across the halls, and performances in Ammon and Allen Main hall. Racing results included T. Ida first in a mile dash, Henry Grady second. Hasting Boy and Spears contended in pace events. Newton and Prairie City teams clashed in the ball series with Newton prevailing. A memorial obituary notes Mrs. Maria Koontz Meyers of Metz with service at the Christian church.
