Janney, Tom Hyde and Dr. Janney Nichols.

Our chairman being absent, Rust Canby was asked to
fill the office. He called the meeting to order and asked
Harwood Owings to act as foreman for the walk.

The flower and vegetable gardens attracted considerable
attention, both being filled with many and various flowers
and vegetables, all in fine condition. The grape vines
and apple trees were well filled with fruit.

A call from the dining rooms soon found us seated at
a delicious roast lamb supper, which included ice-cream and
cake - all; with that little touch of Sandy Spring service
which makes things taste so good.

On resuming business the "old" and last minutes were
read also the minutes of the July meeting which was held at
Kirkside - William Moore, Secretary Pro Tem.

Some clipping from B. H. Miller were also read.

QUESTIONS:

Milton Bancroft told of the trouble he had had with
the well at one of his tenant houses - the club could offer
little encouragement after his description of the case.

Albert Stabler has a heiffer which had a calf two
weeks ahead of time and did not produce any milk - he asked
what to do with her - he was advised to keep her another year.

He was told that the price for cutting corn was $4.00
per acre.

Francis Thomas was advised to replace the logs which
had caved in, in his ice-house and pack the dirt back of the
logs again.

Samuel Thomas exhibited some very pretty red apples,
and asked if any one knew the variety- No one knew the apple
by sight.

Maurice Stabler has four cows for sale.
