June 5, 6, and !, 1900. Three coun-
ty officers and seven others. but that
we would elect others, and any cour-
ty officer who would go except the Sec
retary, who must go and be provided
for, would look after themselves.
1t was agreed that the roll of town.
ships be- called and representatives
present should name one from each
township, but Lake, as. it would be
represented by one or more county
officers. Ten were thus chosen, and
the Secretary proposed they all be
elected, and he be omitted, which was
done. A motion then prevailed by an
almost unanimous rising vote, that the
Secretary also be sent, and that the As
sociation pay his expenses. This is
new departure in our Convention. 80

there was room, for many others, in the
hearts and at the tables of generous
