The society for some months was at low ebb, but just previous to the State 

 fair a picnic was held on the Methodist camp grounds, quite interesting and 

 instructive, at which time it was decided to hold meetings at the houses of the 

 members. The October meeting convened at the farm of Wm. P. Green and 

 the special feature of the occasion was an address by Prof. Bailey of the Agri- 

 cultural college. This was followed by a grand meeting at* the home of Judge 

 Shaw in November. Both of these meetings were largely attended and replete 

 with interesting discussions. The society is again on its feet and with good 

 promises of future usefulness.
