On Saturday afternoon, the 10th instant, this association met in regular annual session in the Court-House, President Ellis Eves, of Millville called the meeting to order stating its objects, &c, briefly. The nomination of a Chairman being first in order, Professor G. E, Wilbur was the unanimous choice. For the honor thus conferred the pro fessot very happily expressed his ap preciation and accepted the office, saying he felt quite at home among farmers and those whose sympathies ran in that direction. From among a number named as Secretaries, Messrs K. C. Ent and F, B. Hartman were duly elected 1 while for Recording Clerk Mr. A. N. Yost was elected without opposition. The organization being thus effected, the minutes of last meeting were ordered read. There being no objection, they were approved as read. The roll call revealed 158 members present, and business was proceeded witn at once. A motion to read the treasurer's statement failed to carry at this junct ure. As to free .tickets, the following was submitted ; " We, the under signed, a majority of the members of the committee appointed to inquire into the question of the Society issuing lree tickets for the annual exhibition to all life members beg leave torepoit tnat Piter due and careful consulera tion of the matter we are of the opin ion that such free tickets should be issued, and that the small decrease which might result in the receipts for tickets sold will be more than recom pensed by the additional number of ufe members which such a step will bring to the bociety. Fred. Ikeler, W. M. Monroe, Though the report was received, Mr. C. Eves moved the postponement of the matter for one year. So order ed by a vote of 76 in ararmative against 55 negative votes. lhe proposition to increase the perpetual-membership fee was also side tracked tor one year. lhe bonds of the Secretary and Librarian were next looked after, Sections 4 and 5 of Article VI were amended and made to read : " and they shall give such security as the executive Committee may require. A proposition from Aaron Smith looking to the reduction of official salaries tailed, it being the most diffi cult species of legislation. The official salaries were permitted to remain as betore. As to tree tickets, W. M Monroe preferred a complimentary pass or perpetual members. But C, L. Sands entirely ruined the proposi tion by amending as follows : " and that each one receiving said pass shall pay the sum of $1." The motion and amendment were punctually tabled. But the dead head business being a rather knotty question there was considerably more of it pra and con before it settled itself down quiet ly. 1 he individuals more particular ly participating in the free-pass con troversy were W. M. Monroe, C. L, Sands, Aaron Smith, A. P. Young, S. Conner, J. K. Grotz, J. C. Brown, Wm. Krickbaum and H. V. White. The argument finally cul minated in a motion from R. R, Little to the effect that the important matter of passes be hereafter left to the discretion of the Executive Com mittee, and that this committee be required to report at the next annual meeting the names of all individuals to whom passes were given. This motion prevailed, and the Executive Committee was defined as the three persons duly elected as such when acting in conjunction with the entire board in this delicate matter. The election of officers being now in order D. R. Coffman nominated John S. Mensch for President. There being no opposition Mr. Mensch was declared elected. He responded in a few grateful and appropriate re marks. The following named gentlemen were duly elected by acclamation j J. C. Brown, treasurer j W. B. Allen, librarian ; Wm.

Cherrington, Al bert Henrie, W. A. Evert, C. M. Ter- williger, C. L. Hartman and Harry Hartley. .

An Illustrated Lecture on Green land's Icy Mountains." The Rev. W. II. Stubblebine, Pas- tor of the Calvary Reformed Church of Scranton, having spent several months last summer in Greenland, is now on a lecturing tour.

As this lecture is in the interest of his new mission chapel which is being built, those patronizing tne lecture will conler a benefit in helping this worthy cause, and at the same time be richly compensated by the lecture. 1 he lecture will be de hvered in the Union Church of Orangeville on Saturday evening, Tan 20, and in the St. James Church on Monday evening Jan. 28. The lec ture will begin at 7:30 P. M. The admission lee will be within reach of all. Children half fare. See circulars The New Meat Market Louis Lyons, the proprietor of the new meat stand opposite the Episco pal parsonage, says : "Just f?lve us a little more advertising of the same kind in The Columbian, please." But, the type being distributed, we will say instead that though bread is the staff of life, good meat has also its strengthening influence along the spinal column, and in fact throughout the human system. For such nour ishing food see Louis Lyons. You will find. things neat and clean and his charges reasonable. tf.

In a recent brief interview with the affable manager of this establishment, Mr. James Magee, our reporter was informed that they are now running on full time and with an abundance of orders to fill. From the samples he saw that are turned out to be sent abroad, it is quite apparent that this mill is thoroughly equipped for all kinds of carpet making ; and, further more, that it is now turning out some of the very best patterns in design, quality and weaving.
