Smmner Meeting. 151 



upon the sessions of the meeting. The banquet given us in the spacious 

 dining room of the City Hotel was a howHng success. Had Dr. Woods 

 been a practicing physician, we could understand why he prepared such 

 a bountiful repast — he might have expected an anti-daylight call. As it 

 is, however, it simply expressed the generosity of these kind people. 



We gladly express our thanks to the railroads of the State for the 

 very liberal rate, one fare plus 50c for the round trip. Such liberality 

 will help us very much in the work we have undertaken and hope to 

 accomplish in every county in the State; and when the cold of winter 

 and the frost of April and May let up on us a little we shall pay them 

 back in large freight profits for transporting our large crops to cold 

 storage and out again to the eastern market, or to the coast for transpor- 

 tation to the great and new Japan, as well as old Europe, including wiser 

 Russia.

The resolutions were unanimously adopted. 



THE CLOSE. 



The report of the Committee on Final Resolutions closed the ses- 

 sions. In this was expressed the appreciation on the part of the Society 

 of the delightful arrangements for the meetings. The court room in which 

 the sessions were held was the most delightful meeting place ever as- 

 signed, with its many windows giving light, and sweet, cool air, with 

 its attractiveness greatly enhanced by the artistic coloring and decorating 

 of the walls, and by the quantities of flowers, especially sweet peas and 

 nasturtiums covering desks and tables, and contributing their beauty and 

 brightness to the scene. — American Truck Farmer. 



The meeting of the State Horticultural Society here has been the 

 means of bringing to Morgan county many strangers, many of whom have 

 never been here before. They are all delighted with the outlook and 

 what they see here. They all speak in glowing terms of the possibilities 

 of Morgan county and Versailles. They say all we have to do is to go 

 ahead and develop our natural resources. Plant and care for more or- 

 chards and build up factories. — Versailles Statesman.
