As will be seen by a notice else­ where. the Annual Meeting of the Mrllenry Comity Agricultural Board for the election of officers for the com­ ing year, will be held at llie Court llonse, in Woodstock, on Monday, next, at one o'clock p. M . NOW this is a meeting which everyone, who is in­ terested in the success of the Agricul­ tural Society should .vttend. It is poor policy to stay away from the meeting and then find fault with Us action. Attend ami help elect men for officers who have the interest of the Society at heart. And right here we cannot refrain Irom mentioning the two most efficient officers for the past year, viz.: A. S. Wright, Secretary, and W. T. Palmer, Superintendent. They were eminently the "right men in the right place." and to them the Society is indebted for the Giand Ex­ hibition presented to the public last Fall. At no time In the history of the Society has a Secretary done so much hard work and with such good results as that performed by Mr. Wright, and the Society owes him a debt of grat­ itude that words cannot repay. For the good ot the society, Mr. Wright and Mr. Paliucr should be re-elected at the Annual Meeting on Mond*y-nesK We know it is a thankless task for them but the -ocioty cannot nfiord to dispense witli their valuable services and advice at this time.
