Throughout the State there seems to be
the same feeling among the former l6o,
600 Wings. We are aware that our

vent any misunderstanding we clip the
following Resolutions from the proceed
ings of the meeting, which is described
as a /" largesand enthusiastic meeting of
the Wings of Ross County

Notwithstanding all this, and the large
