I have a book on the Southern Association, So I can help with these missing years

First off: from 1885 to 1899 was called the Southern League. The Southern Association started in 1901, in the mid-1930's they tied their history to the Southern League.

Your missing years:

1884 - did not exist

1889 - a complete mess / no nicknames listed
New Orleans
Charleston (folded 6/15/1889, moved to Atlanta 6/24/1889)
Chattanooga
Birmingham (folded 5/15/1889, replaced by Mobile 5/16/1889)
Atlanta (folded 6/12/1889)
Memphis (folded 6/12/1889)

1899
Mobile Blackbirds
Shreveport Tigers
New Orleans Pelicans
Montgomery (no nickname listed, folded 5/1/1899)
Dallas Steers (replaced Montgomery)
