Tribune Printing Co: 



You will see by enclosed that our meeting will soon be held. 1 have to make 

 a report to our Executive committee of the prospects of our printing.

 ready then and shall be glad to get it out of the way as soon as possible. If not 

 then, can you give us a date when you will begin '?

Mr. President : Your committee on final resolutions would respectfully report

 intelligent, progressive and hospitable citizens of Lebanon, in the following resolu- 

 tions: 



Resolved, 1st. That the heartiest thanks of the Missouri State Horticultural

6. To the press for their extended notices of our meeting and their efforts to 

 aid us in carrying forward the work of the Society. 



7. To Mr. A. Nelson, the President of the Laclede County Horticultural so- 

 ciety, who has by his untiring and intelligent labors contributed so largely to the 

 success of this meeting, and especially do we recognize his efforts in making the 

 horticultural exhibit at Buffalo, N. Y., thereby advertising abroad the great natu-

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON OBITUARIES. 



Missouri Hoi ticultural Society: 



Your committee have to report the painful fact that since our last meeting 

 this society has lost an esteemed member in the death of Capt. E. P. Henry of 

 Butler. 



So well, so long and so favorably known by you all as one of the most efficient* 

 faithful members of this State society; that at the call of his name this evening, 

 and his absence from his accustomed place among us, the sense of regret and sorrow 

 we here express is, no doubt, felt by all.
