It will also have meetings one every two weeks on Monday evenings at 7:30pm, at the houses of the members of the Guild where convenient, and at these meetings there will be reading, recitations, music, charades, etc. The public are invited to attend these meetings, and all the members of the Guild, and the visitors will be expected to deposit a nickel each with the Treasurer as a contribution to the fund of the Guild.

We are informed by Mr. Austin MILLER, chairman of the building committee for the Asylum, that a Superintending Architect was not selected at the meeting held here on Thursday last, but that one will be selected by competitive plans at a meeting to be held in Memphis on the 8th of April. It is probably that the contract for making the brick to be used in the construction of the building will be let out before that time, so as to have the material ready to commence the building at the earliest moment possible.
