is well preserved and one would not
take him to be near as old as he is,

Der of the G. A. X. Mr.. Reese's occu-
patton is that of farmer and fruit
grower. owning one of the finest farms
in Illinois. having been on the same
place for fifty years, the farm being
owned previously by his father. and
success has blessed him in its cult
vation. Captain Reese is a lifelong
Republican. believing in the great
principles of the party which have
made the United States the foremost
nation in the world. and he says Re
publicanism will continue to rule the
nation. This is his first trip west of
the Missouri river. and he will spend
a month or six weeks with his son
and family whom he had not seen for
eleven years, and for the first time
gazing upon grandsons. The Herald
trusts his visit will be enjoyable and
the trip prove beneficial in way of pre-
