The Pres. opened the meeting by reading from the sixth chapter of Revelations: followed by prayer.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted.The Committee that had been appointed at previous meeting to attend to the business of inserting notices in the daily papers, of Mrs. Henry's Property Rights Bill, reported that the Courier Journal's rate was nine dollars for five insertions -one each month. The German paper five dollars for the same. The Commercial had not yet decided upon its terms; and Truth would charge $1.00 for each insertion; and the committee had arranged for three insertions.
It was resolved to postpone further action in the business until the meetings should be resumed in the Fall.
There was no report from the Treasurer, as that officer was absent from the city.
A motion was made to suspend the meetings of the Asso. until the first Friday in October, which was seconded and carried.
