address on the intimate connection be-
tween agricultural and general prosperity.

music by the Austin Union Band.
At o'clock, the invited guests, num-

THE BANQUET.
The new hall was just the place for the
occasion. It took four tables the full
length of the hall to accommodate the
guests. The banquet was very creditable
to the ladies of Austin. who deserve the

beautified with flowers, individual bou-
quets being at each guests plate, and on
the wall at the front of the hall appeared
the word "WELcoME" cut from cheese.
