The first business at the annual meeting of the Association, has according to custom, been the reading of the reports of the officers of the Association.
According to custom, I beg to report as follows, the general operations of the Association for the year 1903 and its present condition. In the report of last year, on account of the large number of new members elected during that year, it was thought advisable to present a brief statement of the origin and work of the association.
The report of last year was brief and made verbally, and consequently not printed, so that the present report may include matters belonging to the previous year without calling especial attention to that fact.

A lecture delivered at the Hamiton Library, Tuesday Evening. January 17th, 1905.
Mr. President,Ladies and Gentlemen:- I am going to talk this evening about William Hazlett, otherwise called Harrison, who was supposed to be one of John Brown's men. Before coming to Hazlett, I desire to say a few words about slavery and John Brown, one of whose men Hazlett was supposed to be.
In preparing the following sketches and reminiscences of our former public buildings, in addition to old papers, we have carefully consulted several of our aged and best informed citizens in regard to the latter, both the have our own recollections confirmed or rectified, so far as they go back, and to secure assistance in reaching the truth where our own recollections were faint and unsatisfactory.
