Planters annual Convention at
Little Rock, Ark.
[Planters' journal, vicksrsrg.

/ ihHe0fS 10uFuai. RIcKSkSfg.I
The approaching Convention Of the
National Cotton Planters Associations
at Little Rock. Ark, on October 10th
1882, promises to be one of the largest
aud most important ever held by tbs
Association.
1t is matter of regret that comb.
nation of circumstances have prevent
ed and will continue to prevent that
thorough organization of county and
parish branches contemplated by the
Association until after the meeting in
October.
The various cbnnties of the cotton
States, however, will hold meetings and
select delegates to represent them in
the Convention this October, after
which a most thorough system oforgan-
ization will be instituted by States, and
strong effort made to reap the advan-
tages that must accrue to the planters
and landholders of the South thereby.
/ The principles of tbs Association
have grown with time, and though
circumstances, as we remarked above,
have combined heretofore to prevent
our realizing all the benefits that ere
this should have attended it's work, the
members are none the less determined
W.
to carry out the sfiginal plans which
will give to the sgriculturist Of the
South the greatest organization for gem
eral good chat has ever been inaugura-
ted.
President Morehead has jnst paid a
visit to Little Rock, Ark, to confer
with the officers of the State Fair As
sociation in regard to the transporta-
tion Of delegates. their reception, en-
tertainment, ETC., and was greatly ella
ted over the effort that is being made
by those gentlemen as well as by the
citizens of Little Rock. to make great
success of the October meeting.
The fair grounds of the Arkansas
State Fair Association are undoubtedly
the llandsomest in the South and beau
.tifnlly located with very handsome
mile race track attached. We are 40
sured ID the first place, of grand dis
play of improved machinery and blood
ed stock, and as one of the attractions.
tile best running and irotting races
ever before seen in the South.
Transportation over All the lines
will be reduced one half. and a strong
effort made to have President Arthur
and distinguished men present.
We risk nothing in saying the An.
nnai Convention AT Little Rock, Id Oc-
tnber. 1852. promises ID all its results To-
be the most Important and largest ever
before held By the Association, aRd be-

The City Guards, Eng.

The ladies' meeting last Saturday
afternoon, in regard to raising funds
to present the G.. G. Cps, with a
handsome silk banner, was largely
attended and much interest and
enthusiasm manifested in the praise
worthy undertaking. Twenty-Five
-or thirty dollars were subscribed by
those present and committees APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions from
other ladies of the city. Since then
we learn that the committees, in
visiting only a few of the lady
friends of the company, have Sc
cured thirty or forty dollars more.
Judging from this flattering show
ing, our gallant military company
will soon be marching under the
folds of beautiful silk banner, en-
couraged and nerved the while to
greater exertions and Drawer efforts
by the inspiring thought that the
colors under which they fight were
presented to them by the warm
hearted, generous ladies of Clarks-
vile.

On the same evening a brilliant

Gus, happy throng gathered to enjoy
the bounteous hospitality and eX-
tend hearty congratulations to the
handsome pair.
They start life under the fairest
auspices, and the CHRONICLE, in

tions.
The Erin Review records the
happy marriage at that place, on
Wednesday of last week, of Mr..
Tom H. Allen to Miss Mamie
O'Bar, both of that place. The Ger
emony took place at the Cumber-

couple were attended by Mr.. w. L.

performed by Rev. A. NJ. Taylor
A reception was given at the resi-
dence of the brides aunt, Mrs. Jane
Rushing. The Review adds:
We venture to say that there was
not man, woman or child in the
large congregation that did not
heartily wish the young couple all
sorts of happiness and good luck.
Tom, by his genial kindness and
good nature, and his industry and
independence of character, together
with his almost exceptional good
department, has won for himself
hosts of friends during the years he
has resided in Erin. The bride is a
lovely and amiable girl, in every
respect worthy of the husband she
has won.
Mr.. Allen and bride have many
friends in this county who extend
hearty congratulations.

planters are now busy breaking the
ground, putting in corn aud other

hoped we will not have repetition
