An Old Settlers’ Re-union.

At a meeting of the officers of the Old Settler’s Association and the committee appointed to confer witn* the citizens and business men of Rensselaer, on last Saturday, it was decided to have a re-union on the same general plan that has been followed heretofore, with the additional attraction of a balloon ascension, provided arrangements can be made on reasonable terms, and the secretary was instructed to correspond with an Aeronaut living at Francesville. The directors and executive committee will hold a general meeting at the east court room on Saturday July 27, 1901 at 2 p. m., and every director is requested to be present, also such other old settlers as have suggestions to offer toward making the 1901 meeting a greater success if possible, than any that have been held heretofore. At this meeting the program, arrangements will be made and all are requested to suggest such numbers as will be appropriate for this re-union. As no important gathering has been held in Rensselaer this year it is hoped and believed by the management, that with the co-operation of citizens and others that this re-union can be made an attraction that will be beneficial to all a ho attend.
