and have not been seen at all
at others.

Our walk of inspection was satisfactory
order and neatness prevailed. The variety
and luxuriance of vegetables was
admired. Many flowers were blooming.
Fine roses and a row hollyhocks
attracted attention.

A feature of this meeting, was our
beloved friend George E. Brooke, now
nearly ninety-three years old. He sat
in a cosy corner of the porch, watching
the building of the new barn and
greeted his friends, nieces and nephews
with pleasant words and smiles and
many with kisses. He knows all the
young people and his memory is
so good that many people, much
younger, go to him for information
or to settle questions concerning the
lives of a former generation, and we
feel like uttering the prayer of one
of Dicken's characters "Lord keep my
memory green."

Next meeting at Edgewood
