Mr. Gotta called the meeting to order, and prayer was offered 

 by the Rev. Hutchison, following which Mr Gotta begged to be 

 excused from acting as Chairman of the meeting, on account of his 

 being in poor health; he having left home against his better judg- 

 ment, as he was just recovering from an illness of a week or more, 

 and did not feel able to assume the duties of President. He called 

 on Mr. A. Bryant to take the chair and act in his place, whereupon

 of business as laid down by the committee. The Treasurer's report
