Much regret is expressed by mem- 

 bers of the Southampton Horticultural 

 Society at the removal from their 

 neighborhood of W. B. Jones, who 

 goes to the Marcus Daly estate at 

 Hamlinton, Montana, and their best 

 wishes go with him. During the year 

 he was with them he proved so socia- 

 ble and agreeable that he became very 

 popular with the members of the so- 

 ciety. He was engaged on an entirely 

 new estate and accomplished a great 

 deal in the almost unprecedented dry 

 season.
