MEETING OF TIE SHELBY County AGRI.
CULTURAL AND MECHANICAL Association.
A meeting of this society was held at the
Chamber of Commerce, this morning, at
10 o'clock. Vice. President George c.
Holmes called the meeting to order, and
stated that A. B. Haynes, the President,
being i'll, he had been requested to act as
chairman. He regretted to see so slim
an attendance, as the object of the meet
ing was one of much Importance to the
agricultural interests Of the county. He
said the principal subject to be deter
mined was, whether or not the society
should hold Fair during the present
year. The minutes of the last meeting
held at Whites Station, some time since,
were read by HugblD. Greer, the Record.
ing Secretary, and adopted. After which,
appropriate speeches we're made by DR..
Peters, w. B. Donohoe, Hon. John W.
Leftwich, and Robert Mathews, Esq.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the chair to appoint committee of ten,
to solicit subscriptions for the society,
in the city and county, whereupon the
chair appointed John r. Trezevant, A.
]. Hays, R. NJ. Mason, E. W. Caldwell,
John Holden, E. s. Elan, Eli Raynor, j.
NJ. Shelby and John Donovan.
A resolution was also offered and
adopted, to the effect that the society
should hold their first annual fair on the
goth of October next; whereupon Colonel
John Donovan, the President of the
Memphis Racing Association, in few
appropriate remarks, kindly and literally
rendered the free use of the race grounds,
with their stables, surrounding grounds
and conveniences, to the society for the
purpose of holding their exhibition, and
Mr. Donovsns offer was accepted amid
applause.
The Executive Committee, consisting
of NJ. D. L. Stewart, Leon Trousdale, A.
]. Hays, Geo. w. Gift and DR.. n. c. Per-
kins, was by resolution. called upon to
arrange a programme for the proposed
