From lack of time report of the Farmers In
stitute, held at Flushing the 18th and 2Gth ult
could not be sent from this place to The CHRON.
ICLE. Everything, the performances, the enthu-
sasm, the increase in attendance and the financial
results show that-the yearly Farmers Institute
has come to Flushing to stay. As last year, the
ladies' session was one OF the leading features.
Every paper showed not only careful rhetorical
construction but broad and comprehensive
knowledge of subject. Some were characterized
by results of close observation of farm life: some
| by pOetical reviews of rural surroundings, and
some started on safe premises and reaching to
| good and useful conclusions. The effect of all,
collectively. was most excellent on the audience.
/ On the last evening the delay of the train, which
was to bring Mr.. Clarke, kept the audience waiting
for two hours. During this period the audience
was entertained through the energy of the eXeeu-
| tive committee by most excellent impromptu
program The speeches of Senator Nichols and
Gen. Hurst were greatly enjoyed by the audience.
The entire community and surrounding country,
and those from a distance who were fortunate
enough to have been present, pronounces the
third annual Farmers Institute of Flushing, Ohio,
decided success.
