     On the fifth of May, notice being previously given, the citizen of Early 
met at the Court House in the town of Blakely, for the purpose of forming a 
Planters’ Club.  On motion, of Mr. S. H. Trulock, Major JOEL CRAWFORD, was 
called to the Chair, U. TRULOCK to act as Secretary.  After some appropriate 
remarks from the Chair in the way of explanation, there was appointed a 
committee of five to draw up articles of constitution, when Maj. J. Crawford 
proposed to read to the committee, articles wich he had previously drawn up, 
which, after being read the second time, were unanimously adopted, and handed, 
over to the Secretary.  On motion of Judge William Castleberry, the names were 
taken of such individuals as wish to become members of the Club, when some 
twenty-four gentlemen enrolled their names.  It was resolved that each member 
should, on enrolling list his name, pay the sum of fifty cents, to defray the 
necessary expenses.  On motion of Mr. Reese, it was resolved, that it shall be 
the duty of the President, with the consent of the Vice President, to appoint a 
speaker for the regular sessions, which will be the first Thursday in January 
and May.
     The Club then proceeded to the election of officers, Major Joel Crawford 
was elected President, Judge Wm. Castleberry first and S.  H. Trulock second 
Vice President, U. Trulock, Secretary and Treasurer.
    On motion:
     Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to notify Judge Wm Taylor that 
he is chosen to deliver an Agricultural Address at our next meeting, on the 
first Monday in July next, Maj. Crawrod his alternate, and L. Everingham 
alternate to Maj. Crawfrod.
     Resolved, That the Secretary furnish an account of our meeting to the Fort 
Gaines Whig, and request its publication therein.
                   URIAH TRULOCK, Sec’y.


Additional Comments:

newspaper printed in Fort Gaines, Early Co GA [Now in Clay Co GA.]
