are well known and have hosts of

PROGRAMME.

Emancipation Proclamation-Miss
Annie X. Hicks.
Music-M. N. G. Band.
The address of Prof. Furguson
was lengthy and we'll delivered,
containing many points to which
the attention of the colored race
is justly due. He urged upon them
the necessity of purchasing homes
for themselves and educating their
children; thus bringing them to the
proper standard of elevation.
Mr.. r. w. Simmins made short
but very interesting address, in
which be spoke of the glorious day
which his race had helped to make.
The reading of the Declaration of
Independence and Emancipation
Proclamation by Misses Jennie A.
Webb and Annie K. Hicks was ex-
ecuted in a manner that was cred
liable to the young ladies.
The music by the Marietta Ma
tional Cornet Band and the Deca-
tur Choir was excellent, and the
people of Parkersburg unite with
the celebration committee in ex>
tending them their sincere thanks.
II was decided by the officers to
hold the next celebration at Athens,
Ohio, on the 22d Sept. 1881.
The day closed with festivals at
the NJ. e. and Baptist churches and
VOLTS hall. Thus ended the Eman-
cipation day anc the people return
ed to their home feeling grateful for
the liberty they enjoyed. We esti-
mated the crowd in attendance at
grove at about 1000.
There was platform erected on
the ground for dancing and large
number INDUCED freely. Thomas
and Melentree's orchestra furnished
the music for the occasion.
That young man OF this city was
awful anxious to get acquainted
with Miss H. from Marietta but no.
bedy wouldsintroduce him to her:
1t was too bad.
1t was amusing 10 noticed with
what attentiveness a young man
from Harrisville watched Mr.. J. R.,
OF this city, while in conversation
with young lady from that place.
The most touching scene we wit
messed was one of those young men
who had drank too much cider, lay
down and cry for his mother.
One colored man named Lot
Simpson, who got most beautifully
drunk on Wednesday evening, att
tended the entertainment at Zion
Buptis church and there created
disturbance, making use of improp-
er language and striking the pastor,
Rev. /. w. Smith. He was locked
up but was released on Thursday
morning, whereupon he went to his
home, and after threatening to MUIR
der his wife, turned his entire house.

bly, aud beautifully enforced. On

was held, when it was determined to

has the matter under consideration. y
The Rev. J. p. Weaver, who will

ed to supply the Baptist church there,
was sgreeabIy surprised last week by
the ladies Of the Baptist church of Mi
Ian, by the presentation of fine suit
of clothes, accompanied with boun-
tiful supply of underwear. This was
a iuet tribute 10 the worth Of their
former minister, who by his earnest
christian scondlct as a pastor and
ninister has gained the confidence and
respect of the community. He will
carry With him the earnest wishes of
the church and citizens that he may

Engineer ". NJ. Bradley, of the
Little Rock road is quite sick, and has
gone to biz home at Jackson, Tennes>
see.
The Iron Mountain road passenger
rate in Missouri is three cents per
mile. In Arkansas it is FIVE cents per

All the employees at depots and on
passenger trains on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railway

Mr.. Wash. Flack, who for num-
Der Of years ran SIS passenger conduc-
tor on the Central road, and is well
and favorably known to many of our

tendent Of the Memphis and Little
Rock road at Memphis. He had been

The EXCHANGE congratulates both
him and the Company.
The board of Railroad Commission
ers of Georgia have issued a circular
to the railroads Of the State, notifying
their managers that after Feb. they
would not be allowed to charge more
than three cents per mile for passen-
gers, which is & reduction of two cents
per mile, the passenger rate atp~esent
being FIVE cents per mile. The action
of the commission has created strong
feeling against the board by the rail-
road managers of the State, as this
decision is final. The feeling, it is
said, is SO strong that it will not sur
prise any one to see railroad and anti.
railroad parties formed in Georgia
The power of the board is vested in il

Messrs u. L. and E. A. Collins are

able. There were nearly four hun
dred people on the train when We
reached the Crescent City, but a sutfi
cient number of cars had been prOyid-
ed to give each elbow room. Collins
Bros. promise nothing they do not
carry cut to the letter, and for this
reason the public never fail to patron
