ANNUAL FAIR OF THE SOUTH EAST
ARKANSAS AGRICULTURAL AND
MECHANICAL ASSOCIATION.

We are indebted to some thought
full friend for the premium list and
rules and regulations governing this
Association, which is now approach
ing its Eleventh annual exhibition.
This win take place at Monticello on
the 2lst proximo, and will continue
three days. The list is both full and
we'll adapted to all the section of
country designated as South Arkansas
and North Louisiana. The parishes
belonging to the Association and form
ing a district are-West Carroll, More
house, Union and Ouachita, and these
parishes are well represented among
the offices. The pleasure and worth of
such associations are far reaching and
incstimable, and the fact that the
Southeast Arkansas Fair has been in
successful existence elcue,, years is
conclusive answser to the oft-repeated,
intoierabie objection against their or
ganization that they cannot be made
permanent. Something like this must
be inaugurated and established in the
Ouachita Valley if our people would
advance, or remain even as they are.

The Outlook.

There Ia decided relaxation in the
glooming crop reports OF only few
days ago. At that time the TEI.E-
GRAPH was apprehensive of some dis
aster-as, for example, drouth and
rust in the hills, and rot and eXuberant,
deceitful growth on the allurial lands.
At the same time, planters were
making most favorable reports to com
mission merchant and to the Agricul-
tural bureau.
The present outlook, from what we
can gather and sec, unfortunately, JUS.
titles the fears we entertained. Spec
ulators and consumers of the staple
may no longer look for their fond ex-
pectations of July to be realized. If
anything can be relied upon, however,
1t is a short crop OF cotton and the
necessity for close attention to the hus-
banding of forage. The price of cot
ton may be better yet seeing that there
will be large falling away from the
vague estimates made by cotton ex-
changes and bureaux, and in this,
outside of careful outstanding OF feed
and grain, the country may find its
condition at the close ofthe year much
advanced over that at its beginning.
We are gratifled to say to both mer.
chant aud planter that while the latter
have made their crops on compare
tive small outlay and will therefore
have surplus of ready money COM
ing over, the former, having been
but little In the way Of adj
vances, will be able to sell cheap and
offer fresh goods at small profits.

MONROE, Sept. 9, 1885.

}
At meeting of the Board of
Directors of tho Library Association of
Monroe, the following proceedings
were had
On motion it was resolved that
immediate steps be taken to raise
funds TO put tho library building in
good repair and for that purpose the
following committees were appointed,
viz:
ID. NJ. Sholars was appointed com.
mittee TO get up and manage Grand
Concert TO be given at Gcrspach's
Opera House on September %, 1855.
\ committee to prepare and conduct

Ouachita Valley Railroad.

Capt. +. Y. Dabney, ex-Superintcn-
dent and chief engineer Of the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport & Pacific railroad,
arrived in this city, Sunday evening
direct from New Mexico and his
friends will he pleased to learn that
his health is much improved, and
there is now every. reason to hope that
his health will be permanently restored.
He remained in the city Monday, the
| guest of Hon. Il. Marshall Miller, leav-
| Springs, where he goes to visit his
family. 1t is stated that Capt, Dab
| ney will probably return to Mexico rs
he has been rendered a very lucrative
position there Iich;sb,uy Uc,ul1.
No railroad official, connected with
the ", S. & 7. railroad, has over left
IFS service with deeper regret to our
people than Capt. Dabney. While he
had difficult duties to discharge, often
in conflict, apparently, with the
material interests of the country, and
had of necessity an enormous amount
of rough.hewing to do, it was rare
that his decisions and regulations did
not meet ultimately with hearty
approval. Perhaps rs We have before
observed, the construction of the road,
from the survey to its final completion
hence to Red river, under circunstan-
cos that would battle tho greatest skill
and staggcr. Cromwcllian courage,
is an achievement which needs not the
feeble applause of this fechlcr cnco-
MUM.
But we shall be parsloncd for abiding
again to the magnitude Of this Under
taking, lis perpfcXitics duly weighed,
when VIC state that it is merely intro
ductory to mentioning the fact that
Capt. Dabney's services may be
secured toward the location and CON
struction of the projected North aud
South, or Ouachila Valley railroad.
OF this we have his own assurances,
and, further, Capt. Dabney expressed
himself as having been impressed,
from the conclusion of his investiga-
tons, that the road was practical, aud
that, from his long experience in con
structing and operating railroads, the
road, not only as a road doing local
traffic, but also rs n through trans
Mississippi railroad, would pay hand
soncly from the day of its completion
We trust that no time will be lost
by the friends Of the OuaChita Valley
railroad in comforting with Capt.
Dabney iwhose address appears in the
Herald paragraph and of obtaining
his really valuable services in iniating
and completing this great enterprise.
We design it as no hattery to Capt.
Dabney--he will understand that, We
know,-but the securing OF his services
would DO tantamount to 500, 900
secured stock.

Public Library.

On another part Of to-day's paper,
appears the report of proceedings
taken by the Monroe Library Associa
ton for the purpose of raising fluids to
repair and prepare for use the building
donated to the city by the late Mrs.
Louisa l.. Mcclure. We particularly
and earnestly call the attention of all
the citizens Of Monroe and Of Ouachita
parish to this important subject.
Mrs. Mcclure was undoubtedly one of
the most benevolent and public spirited
ladies who have ever lived in our city.
She died OH the 18th of February, 1882,
and on the 9th Of that month her will
was probateh. Among other public
benefactions, she bequeathed to the
Mayor and Council of Monroe, tho lot
and Office on Wood street and all her
law books and other books for the pur
pose of forming a nucleus for n public
library.
thropic lady had but one object in view,
viz: TO benefit the citizens OF Monroe
and surrounding country. Sho was
prompted by a noble desire to do some
thing for the public good by providing
a place where useful knowledge might
be spread and where all might find
pleasant, enrolling ana enlightened
recreation.
And yet we are panied to say that
this community has not in any way
utilized this bcneficcnt donation. In
other towns and cities, libraries are
established without a cent TO start on.
Here we have lot and suitable build
ing, large quantity of books, and yet
we arc not enterprising enough to open
the doors and furnish few lights and
shelves Is this not disgrace to
every citizen of this community :?
Does not such neglect reflect on the
intelligence, refinement and public
spirit of this city? Let US do away
with this shame!
The gentlemen Of the Library Assoc
citation intend to make the building
donated by Mrs. Mcclure available for
a reading room and circulating library
where not only books but also the
latest magazines and other periodicals
may be found. They arc taking
step in the right direction and success
is bound to attend their efforts. The
entertainments they propose to give
ought to be literally encouraged and
patronized by every one who has any
regard for the good name, cultivation
and refinement of this community
