C. H. Coon in the chair. The con- 

 vention histed two days — 19th and 

 20th — but owing to the bad condi- 

 tion of the roads the attendance 

 was not as large as wlien tlie con- 

 vention was held in Meadville a 

 3^ ear ago. 



The election of officers for the 

 ensuing year followed next. D. 

 Videto, of Northeast, Erie county, 

 Pa., was elected president; P. F. 

 Twitchell, Andover, O., vice presi- 

 dent ; C. H. Coon, New Lyme, O., 

 secretary, and Geo. Spitler, Mo- 

 siertown. Pa., treasurer. Meadville 

 was selected as the place for the 

 next meeting of the convention — 

 January, 1888. Geo. bpitler, E. 

 A. Reynolds and D. H. Lefever of 

 Crawford county were appointed a 

 local committee. 



The meeting was one of much 

 interest, and good will result to 

 those engaged in producing honey.
