 Horticultural Society was held in the 

 Lenox Town Hall on January 9th. 

 Owing to weather conditions the at- 

 tendance was not large, however, there 

 were four new members added to the 

 society, and after the usual routine 

 business L. W. Harger, correspondent 

 for the New York Sun, Springfield Re- 

 publican and Berkshire Eagle, gave an 

 excellent talk on newspaper work, 

 which was much enjoyed.
