The Most Worthy Great Council of Kentucky kindled its seventh Grand Sun Council fire in the wigwam of Delaware Tribe, No. 7, hunting ground of Louisville, on the 9th sun of Buck Moon, G. S. 5620, Great Sachem A. C. Herig on his stump.

Representatives were admitted from Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2; Pocahontas, No. 3; Kentucky, No. 4; Tecumseh, No. 6, and Delaware, No. 7.

The Great Sachem's long talk reviewed the progress of the Order for the Grand Sun. He regretted that he had been unable to institute any new Tribes, and called the attention of the Great Council to the fact that there were in the possession of the Great Chief of Records the effects of defunct Tribes Chickasaw, No. 1, and Choctaw, No. 5, and urged that some action be taken to dispose of the same.

The election resulted as follows:

Chas. Amann	M. W. Great Sachem
C. Rice	M. W. Great Senior Sagamore
John B. Haltimus	M. W. Great Junior Sagamore
Richard W. Elsey	M. W. Great Prophet
Jas. N. Tyrack	M. W. Great Chief of Records
W. D. Turner	M. W. Great Keeper of Wampum

John Hughes, Chas. Amann, and Martin Borntraeger, Great Representatives to G. C. U. S.

The Great Chief of Records reported as follows: Amount on hand in wampum belt, 140 fathoms; number of working tribes, 5; adoptions, 37; rejections, 1; suspensions, 57; admitted by card, 7; withdrawn by card, 4; expulsions, 3; deceased, 4; members, 299; Past Sachems, 113; Tribes defunct, Chickasaw, No. 1.

Bros. Kiteley, Fresher and Strube were elected Great Trustees.

The council fire was then quenched.

Bro. Jas. N. Tyrack, Great Chief of Records, having resigned his chieftaincy, a special council was called to meet in the wigwam of Pocahontas Tribe, No. 3, at Newport, on the 18th of Worm Moon, G. S. 5621, at which Past Sachem Bernard Strube was elected and raised up to the stump of Great Chief of Records.
