state that the club to which 1 refer, is the
Rosendale Agricultural Club, wisconsin. -
Its present secretary is, or was last year,
George c. Hill. Its constitution and by.

and can be had, I presume, on application.
1t is due to say that the community is made
up largely Of eastern people who took their
industrious and business habits with them.
This club stood through the grange move

friction, and while that has succumbed, this
holds its way. I maintain that il good
