 pleasure to receive the meml)ers of your Horticultural Society, and I exiend

Mr. Brown — I move that we accept this invitation, and visit 

 this institution in a body to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. 



Carried unanimously. 



Mr. A. L. Hay, chairman of the Committee on Obituaries, ])aid 



the following 



TRIBUTE OF RESPECT 



TO OUR FRIENDS AND CO-LABORERS WHO HAVE LATELY PASSED TO THE 



"OTHER SHORE." 



We again miss from onr midst two of our co-workers, Isaac 

 Baldwin and Albert Dunlap, who have been removed from us by death. 

 We sincerely regret the violent death, by the cars, of our friend Dunlap, 

 the son and brother in a horticultural faniily. Death loves a shining 

 mark, and has, in his selection in these two cases, only confirmed ns 

 in the truth of death's selection. As a personal friend of Mr. Dun- 

 lap, I desire to say that a more honest, upright, straightforward 

 business man could nowhere be found. As a husband and father he 

 was all God in his Word requires of man; as a friend to everything 

 good, he had no superiors; as a business man, he had the confidence 

 of every one who knew him, and the community from which he was 

 so suddenly removed will not soon know his equal in the many vir- 

 tues of life.
