176 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Resolved, That tbe local press of Carthage be tendered thanks for the faithful 

 reports of pur transactions from day to day during the session about to close. 



While your committee feels that to make any invidious distinction in men- 

 tioning any of the good papers read, things said, by the many most worthy, at this 

 grand meeting, we hope to not violate precedent without an excuse, and in men- 

 tioning the labors and work of Miss Murtfeldt in the interest of this Society, in the 

 absence and need of State provision for an official entomologist, will meet with 

 your approval and hearty accord. In pursuing our studies in horticultural science, 



we have found her an efficient and worthy teacher. 



J.M. Rice,
