FAREWELL WORDS. 



Pres. Murray. — AVe are now come to the last word. We feel 

 flattered by the resolution you have just passed. We certainly thank 

 you for the manner in which you have received, met with, and enter- 

 tained us, and for the music of the band, the quartette, and the ladies. 

 We shall go away feeling this to be one of the most pleasant meetings 

 we have ever held. I congratulate you upon the progress you have 

 made since I organized your county society here two years ago. It 

 will pay you to keep up your society. I hope after this meeting, ladies 

 and gentlemen, that you will feel a greater interest in beautifying your 

 homes and caring for your orchards and fruit gardens. If you do this 

 we will feel that our meeting here has not been in vain. We trust to 

 have the pleasure of meeting vatli you again. I Avill close by calling 

 upon others for a few words. 



L. A. Goodman. — It certainly has been a very favorable meeting 

 for the society and those interested. I heard one man say that he had 

 received ten times the cost of his coming to this meeting. You will find 

 the horticulturist the most liberal man vou ever met, fflad to tell others 

 what he has learned himself. I have enjoyed this meeting. I am 

 glad I came. W^e go vnth the feeling of having had a pleasant and 

 profitable time with a pleasant people.
