There are many members of the society who did Dot exhibit at 

 the Fair this year, while some who did were not awarded premiums, 

 and only those who were awarded premiums have been asked to 

 contribute. And all. members and others, who are interested in 

 the continuance of the society, ought to contribute equally to the 

 reduction of the debt. 



I trust, therefore, that at the annual meeting some action will 

 be taken so that all may have an opportunity and may be called 

 upon to contribute their share. 



I desire personally, also in behalf of the officers and members 

 of the society, to thank all who have donated or contributed to 

 the society. 



Yours truly, 



F. E. PAIGE, 



Secretary.
