Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois State Horticultural Society for 1869, Vol. 3: Being the Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Meeting Held at Ottawa, December 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th; With Proceedings of Local Societies, Etc Mr. Flagg - I made the motion that the $2 membership be retained; but the matter in order, as I understand it, is the order of business this afternoon. That question would not now come up properly until the business of the afternoon has been disposed of. Mr. Dunlap - Let us go on with the order of business on the pro gramme. If we get behind now, we 'will be behind all the time. The President - The Executive Committee having duly considered the question of inviting Major Powell to lecture before this body, have concluded that it would scarcely be practicable, as it would break in upon the business to so great an extent.
