DIRECTORS MEETING.
Election Of Omcers of the East Tennessee
Agricultural Society.

The Directors of the East Tennessee Agrcul-
tural Society met yesterday afternoon, Presi-
dent James S. Boyd in the Chair.
The following gentlement wer0 elected officers
for the current year:
o. p. Temple, President.
G.. w, Charlton, Secretary.
T. IL. Head, Treasurer.
The officers are all men of energy, and 1t
would have been difficult to select others better
qualified for the positions to which they have
been elected.
Judge Temple has always taken great interes
in farming and stock raising and his election
cannot fail to give additional strength to the
Society.
Mr.. Charlton has been known from the incep-
ton of the enterprise as one of the strongest adj
vocates of fairs in general and of the Eastern
Division Fair in particular. 1t is known to our
citizens that he worked with all his might, with
BRAIN pen and muscle, in putting the grounds
in order in time for the first exhibition since the
war, in 1870, and by keeping the matter before
the public made it the gratifying success 1t was.
universally acknowledged to have been. &c
With Mr., Thos. II. Head as treasurer, the
finances of the company will be managed on a
sound business basis, and the directors have
shown wisdom in choosing him to.fill the posi-
ton.
With new organization the directors and
stockholders will resume work with fresh vIgor
and the determination to make the expositions
of the East Tennessee Agricultural Society
great benefit to the farming and business classes
of this portion of the State.
