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. Masters, Louis
Lowenberg, and J. B. DeLong, au
ditors.

retary A. N. Yost and C. B. Lutz,

bert Henrie, W. A. Evert, C. M. Ter-

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. The rever-
nd gentleman has the reputation of
being an eloquent speaker and graph
ic in his descriptions. His lecture
will be illustrated by sixty fine magic
lantern scenes. 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

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

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.
