Resolved, That in attending this institute we have had a jolly good time ; that it has

 all those who have exerted themselves to contribute to this result, and that we can 

 assure them of hearty appreciation of their efforts. 



Be it resolved, by the Newaygo County Farmers' Institute, That we would respect- 

 fully urge upon our Representatives in Congress to make most earnest effort to secure 

 the passage during this session of Congress of a bill now on their Speaker's desk, known
