Every thing passed Oh pleesantly-A big
crowd of people IN the village Races
good together with all other sports
The trade procession was the
finest ever Witnessed.
The day being bright and clear a
large crowd came to the village to take
part in the glorious Fourth and all
seemed to enjoy the proceedings. The
day was opened by national salute at
sunrise. At about ten o'clock the
trale procession was formed and COM
posed of goodly number of our mer-
chants and business men. Everybody
seemed delighted with the grand dis
play made and a good many remarked
messed. The following is n list of
those who took part in it:--Headed by
the Brass Band, then came the pioneer

FOURTH OF JULY NOTES.
The best of order was observed
during the day.
The races were very exciting and
everything passed off pleasantly.
Sleepy John would nave won second
money had he not tainted just before
crossing the line.
The day was almost to warm too be
comfortable.

A NOVELTY.


Donavin's Famous Tennesseeans augmented
by Suberb Gold and Silver Baud
and Orchestra.
Manager DOnavin has ever taken the
lead among the concert managers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Tennesseeans have always been con-
sidered the first colored concert COM
pany in the land, they realize that this
is progressive age. With the inten-
ton of placing his company leagues
ahead of all alleged rivals Mr.. Dona-
vim has formed superb Gold and
Silver Band and Orchestra to accom-
pany the troupe. They are the most
magnificently equipped Concert Band
ever organized. The instruments are
of the finest triple-plated silver
elegantly and deliberately engraved, all
points and bells gold plated, FURNISHED
and gold-spotted--in fact the finest IN
struments made by the largest Band
Instrument Mandatory in the world
that of G. G.. Conn, Efkhart, Ind.
The uniforms novel, gorgeous and
costly are from one Of the best estab-
'lishments of the kind. The al tist-
musicians forming this band are the
cream Of the Colored Instrumental
world. Our citizens will be favored
with parade and fancy drill on the
day of their concert under the direction
of an accomplished Drum Major and a
balcony serenade at Z o'clock p. M.
The concert program will be enlivened
by orchestral strains as sweet and
harmonious as have ever been heard
in this place. 1t is certain this feature,
which is maintained at large adj
ditional expense. will be appreciated
by our people and crowded house
will greet them.
