The winter meeting will be held at Jacksonville, Illinois, on December 14-16. The city is one of the most beautiful in the west, and is well worth seeing, outside of the regular inducements which the society offers. Besides the discussions which are always participated in by some of the most intelligent men in the west, as an additional inducement, the hotel and railroad rates have been lowered, and a long list of premiums for fruits and vegetables has been announced. A. C. Hammond, is Secretary, and Arther Bryant, Princeton, Illinois, President.
