The Annual Business Meeting Held. A Large Attendance, Officers Elected and Other Business Transacted. The regular annual meeting of the Columbia County Agricultural Horti cultural and Mechanical Association was held in the Court House Satur day afternoon and was largely attend ed. The meeting was called to order by John S. Mensch, President of the Association. No time was lost and he immediately called for the nomin ation of a chairman to preside over the deliberations of the meeting. H. V. White Esq., was nominated and unanimously elected to the posi tion, and the manner in which he performed the duties incident to the office showed that it was not his first experience as a presiding officer. There was some difficulty experienced in securing secretaries all those men tioned declining the honor, but W. H. Ilidlay and M. P. Lutz were finally selected and elected before they had an opportunity, of declining. W. H. Allen was elected Recording Clerk and immediately proceeded to call the roll, to1 which one hundred and two perpetual and forty five members who had paid annual dues responded. The nylnutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Mr. J. C. Brown the treasurer reported that he had printed his report which could be seen by any one and he did not see the neces sity of reading it.

" That after due and careful con sideration of the matter we are of the opinion 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 life members which such a step will bring to the society." This evidently was a question which no one cared to discuss or vote upon, Women are notoriously care less of their health even more so than men. Much of their trouble comet from chronic constipa tion. That makes poor appetite, biliousness, dys pepsia, causei distress after eat incv dizziness, coJled tongue and sallow complexion. It's such a com mon thing that people are careless about it so cart-less that more serious sickness ensues and frequent visits to the doctor become necessary. It really seems strange, when the rem edy is so easy, that so many people will eiw themselves to remain subject to such fcoubles. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel lets curt constipation. That means that they are good for biliousness, sick and bilious headaches, indigestion, sour stom ach, liver troubles, windy belchings, "heart-burn," flatulence and dyspepsia. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules that the merest child will take readily. They are mild, jgentle, quick and efficient. They are ofpurely vegetable composition und work iu strict accord with nature. They cause no griping and are as pleasant in their action as they are pleasant to take. Their lelp lasts. Therefore you don't become stave to their use as with other pills. Once used they are always in favor. One little Pellet it a laxative, two are mildly cathartic. One Pellet taken alter dinner will promote digestion and to relieve distress from over eating they are nneqttaled. CACTIOS. Dr. Fierce' Pleasant Pallets it'a an easy name to remcuber.

For s free sample (4 to f dosee) of " Pleaaant Pellets," address World's Dlapcnjsjry Medical Association, Buffalo, N. V. but finally M. W. Monroe took the floor and made a speech in favor of the adoption of the resolution. Upon motion of Ellis Eves the considera tion of the question was indefinitely Postponed. Upon motion ot I. C Brown the consideration of the ques tion increasing the fees for perpetual membership was also indefinitely post poned. The salaries of the officers were fixed the same as last year. Next came the nomination of officers and the following were elected without opposition i President John S. Mensch. Vice Presidents R. W. Smitn, a. u. Creasy, J. T. Reeder, Levi Fester, Treasurer J. C. Brown, Librarian W. B. Allen, Auditors Wm. Masters, L. Lowenberg, J. B. DeLong. In the selection of members of the executive committee there was more opposition. Three were to be elected and the following nominations were made : C. B. McHenry. F. Pierce Hagen- buch, W. M. Monroe, Stephen Pettit, Henry Deighmiller, V. 1'. Eves and Samuel Ilidlay. For Secretary, A. N. Yost and C B. Lut2 were nominated. It was decided by motion, that the members of the executive committee and Secretary be voted for at the same time, and the counting be done by one set of tellers. The Chairman appointed G. E. Wilbur, Dr. J. R. Montgomery and u. IS. Hunt tellers. rrior to the taking of the vote C. B. .McHenry and Terry Kostenbauder whose names were printed on the tickets declined being candidates. The tellers then adjourned to a rear room to count the vote and during their absence several members were called upon for speeches. Chandlee Eves in reply to a question as to his opinion on the workings of the new Agricultural Bill stated that he did not desire to condemn it, until it had more of a trial. Of one thing however he was convinced, and that was that the bill was not created by the farmers, but by a clique who expect ed to receive big salaries for a little work. A. P. Young look exceptions to the remarks of Mr Eves and spoke in favor of the bill, saying that it was an improvement over the old method of holding farmers institutes. Hon. W. T. Creasy said that the bill was a goo deal like the banking bill it was a good one, but had too many leeches to it. H. V. White who is one of the trustees of the State College and upon being requested to make some remarks concerning the said institution said : " I am always glad to speak lor Pennsylvania State College I have had the honor aud pleasure of repre senting that institution as a trustee for over nine years. I am free to ad mit that my first impressions of the College and its work were not as free from disappointment as desired, but as I have watched the work progress and learned more of the management I have been gratified to know that both sides of the institution are turn ing out such finished products as to commend the College to every father in the State who has a boy to educate. I have been asked to speak of the agricultural and creamery work. Asso ciated with and forming part of the College is the Experiment Station. This is supported by both National and State appropriations and devotes its time and talent to that work which will elevate and enrich the farmers of the State if they will but place them selves in position to be benefited. Experiments are made with fertilizers, seeds, grain, feed and feeding and the results carefully tabulated and report ed in bulletins that every farmer in the State may have by simply asking for them. They are not sent to every farmer because it is well known that too large a percentage would go to the waste basket to make it profitable. The creamery work begins with the purchase of the cows and follows down the line by the preparation of the food, the condition of the stables, the temperature of the water given the cows to drink in the winter, the gathering of the milk and the separat ing of the cream or butter fat. All these are given personal and careful attention and it has proven to be the only profitable way of working. If a cow on a given ration will not yield a giv en amount of butter, she is sent to market regardless of color or pedigree while the actual labor connected with these experiments is done by employees of the station, the farmers taking the creamery courses are per mitted and expeeted to follow up every detail and become thoroughly posted on all the work from beginning to finish. The dairy work is so ar ranged that farmers may take the full course during the winter when not busy at home, and in fact they have gone even farther and prepared a Chautauqua course that can be pur sued at home. This is under the care of Col. John A. Woodward who will gladly communicate with any one wishing to avail himself of this oppor tunity of getting much for little. The feeding of beef cattle has also been given special attention with the result that their beef is taken for the London market at a nice premium over home prices every year. All this proves that the work done at the College is not only thorough, but practical and furnishes such informa tion as must yield profitable results if properly applied. The tax payer will get good returns for his money by taking that which is thoroughly pre pared and digested tor him. 1 should state that the tuition at State College is free and aside from your board, your expenses will be just what you make them. I sincerely trust that many of our farmers will avail them selves of the advantages that are liberally provided. Over one hun dred are now enrolled in the dairy and creamery courses and space has been provided for caring for more. For information you can address the College or I will always be glad to give you anything that I can command." Hon. W. T. Creasy was nominated and unanimously elected a representa tive of this Association to assist the State Deputy Commissioner and Members from this county in conduct ing the local Farmer's Institute.

Last Saturday evening, about 7:30 o'clock as Mr. Benjamin Drake of Light Street was driving to this place, he was met on the road near J. L. Dillon's by two men, one of whom attempted to seize his horse and the other drew a revolver which he fired. Mr. Drake started his horse off at a rapid gait, pushed back the seat of the spring wagon and laid down in the body of it. I le says another shot was fired but took no effect. About nine o'clock he returned to his home, but saw nothing more of the parties. New Officers.
