Highland
July 3rd 1906

We assembled at the usual hour

various storms accompanied by thunder
and lightening.

The minutes were read and accepted.

Readers 1st Hannah Stabler, by her daughter
Lena, gave us interesting extracts

dress or put it in water to keep, the
rule was that the flower should be

2nd reader Dr. Magruder, an article
on Michican celery. The soil black
rich and moist; the plants bleached
between boards, without earth
