beautiful than the stars and stripes entwined with the colors of foliage
and flower. Never has our place of meeting shown so brightly or been
more enjoyed than in this favorable environment.

During the meeting upon the recommendation of the executive board there
were five names by the unanimous vote of the society placed upon the
honorary life membership roll of the society, as follows: John Bisbee,
Madelia; J. R. Cummins, Minneapolis; Chas. Haralson, Excelsior; F. W.
Kimball, Waltham, and S. H. Drum, Owatonna.

The meeting closed with seventy-five members in the hall by actual count
at 4:30, and we certainly hated to say the parting word to those whom we
earnestly hope to gather with again a year hence.

What can we say about the crowning event of our meeting, the annual
banquet? Two hundred and two members sat down together and fraternized
in a most congenial way. Gov. W. S. Hammond was the speaker of the
evening and greatly enjoyed. All the other numbers on the program were
on hand to perform their parts. Here follows the program and you can
judge for yourself. Why don't you come and enjoy this most entertaining
event of the meeting?
