Last Thursday evening a number of gentlemen met in the counting room of Fleming Ussery & Co., and after mature deliberation, came to the unanimous conclusion that the Hardeman county auxiliary society to the Tennessee orphan asylum could be greatly aided in their work of charity by holding a grand tournament here during the coming fall season; consequently an organization, in part, was perfected, and the ball set in motion. The following gentlemen compose the list of officers so far chosen or appointed: Col. M. T. POLK, president; Capt. A. T. MCNEAL, secretary and treasurer; M. R. PARISH, G. M. DUGAN, N. E. HUGHES, assistant marshalls; judges are Gen. N. B. FORREST, Memphis; Gen. W. H. JACKSON, Jackson; C. H. ANDERSON, J. J. POLK, Col. James COLEMAN, Memphis, W. W. MCCARLEY, Dr. J. S. BURFORD.

General N. B. FORREST has requested us to insert his business card in our paper, and most willingly do we comply. As will be seen, by referring to another column, the gallant hero has located at 272 Front Street, Memphis, where he will successfully conduct a general cotton and commission business, at all time making cash advances on consignments, and ready and willing to sell at low and uniform rates bagging, rope and other supplies. Our citizens are too consistent in all things to forget “the flesh of their flesh, or bone of their bone,” and hence 272 Front Street will be enlivened with true ‘sons of the soil’ from Hardeman county.
