lsS4-A Year of Events.

L rom iuc present. pullooh We nave
reason TO SUPP O>e that the twelve
months commencing FIRST Of January.
1884, and ending first of January.
1885, will lie the most important
year of our history; leaving out the
years embraced in the late war he
tween the States and that within
this brief period of trHe events will
occur from which the future histor-
ian will date an accelerated progress
| in the great indu>t les, inventions
aud theories of the age. For the
next year the people OF the Southern
| portion Of the United States will
have no time to waste if they attempt
10 come up to the expectations OF
the enlie ht encd nations Of the eaI tn
F. 1t is true that the whole people OF
! the United States are int :ested in
I tho certain events Of the year 1884,
! but especially are the peoYe # the
! South. in who.e center one of the
/ greatest shows Will he held that has
ever claimed the attention of evil
zstion. The Exposition to which
we refer, will demand vars pre-
paration of each citizen of this sec
ton of country b. SIRE it's many doors
and entrances are opened in Deccm-
b n, 1884, if they develop the iNl re-
sources, inventions, Improvements

This, however, is not all the attrac-
tions in this line. The Louisville,
Exposition so recent the cen
ire of so much interest in that
city, is to be repeated at some
time during the tall of next year,
not to snntlict with the Expo
sition of New Orleans, in December,
1854 Bart th"se are not all. In
November, 1854. an election will be
held for President of the United
States, whose administration will
commence 4th OF March. 1854. Pre-.
paratorT to this qnadr ennial event,
there will bs two nat onali conren-
tinns for the purpose of selecting
candidates for this exalted place.
Each of the great polnical parties
will prest ut their standard Bearers
IN the campaigns of ES8E. to whose
support the citizens Of the United
Stats will be aS;e.'. ilnportuned,
and in some Instances b. ibed To
vote.
The foregoing occurrences arc
certainties and present TO he mind
of every thoughtful citizen Of the
United States important duties and
trusts from which they canno,
escape, and which will demand their
serious attention AMI profound
thought, and this, too, during the
entire year. in which the farmer
must plant. cultivate, gather and
dispose of all his crops, the business
men Of every calling and profession
will have their financial mechanical
: mercantile and pIcte >>ional oDliga
t;M,s to.mcet and duties to peIt'rm
ard all taken together will he OF
sufficient magnitude to warrart the
conclusion at which We arrive that
the year 1884 will he full of events
du les. and anxIeEes without a
parallel in all our past history. Now
are We prepared, OF are we going to
be prepared 10 meet the rcsponsibili'
ties that wifi Gerolve upon us

countr>'s history Or will we suffer

these mighty int, rests; and thus

which. we live dtqaacy for the
places we re- pectivrly occupy in the
great drama of the nineteenth cen
