Former Resident Shakes Hands With Rensselaer Friends.

N. J. Reed, sheriff of Jasper county from 1896 until 1900, but who now lives at Millerton, 'Mich., was in Rensselaer today with that same old good natured laugh and smile. Mr. Reed was one of the very best fellows that ever held office in Jasper county. He was a good feeler and had a host of friends. He came up from Lafayette this morning but will, return there . tonight, where the Phelps family are giving a dinner in his honor. From there Mr. Reed will visit his brothers, W. W. Reed at Rantoul, 111., and D. W. Reed, of Clay county, Illinois. He will also visit his nephew and namesake, N. J. Reed, who is a bank cashier at Rantoul, 111. From there he will visit his son, who is attending school at Rushvilk, fnd. Nate is looknig mighty fine for a man of his age and said that he enjoys life immensely. He spends much of his time when the weather permits fishing in a .fine hake near his home. It is his intention to return to Rensselaer before going back to Millerton. For the jollification which he was forced by friends Ao hold on the street here today it would require an extended visit for him to meet all who would be pleased to shake his hand again.
