Just before the exercises opened

r. church choir, whose fame as
singers is known throughout Iowa.
The Miss Cora Bass, the popular
young daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bass, Of Give, Iowa, read the
oclamation Of Emancipation,
which was highly appreciated, and
she received many compliments
for distinct and clear manner in
which she read.
Rev. T. Reeves, the highly
esteemed and eloquent pastor pre-
sided, introducing J. L. Thomp-
son as the first speaker. Below
we quote the Daily Registers
communication, the Saturday
morning issue Of Jan. I'd:
"This was followed by a most
entertaining and instructive ad-
dress by j. L. Thompson, the
editor Of the Bystander, the ac-
credited newspaper representative
of the colored people and of their
sentiment upon current topics
throughout the state, who took for
his subject, ''The Prosperity Of
the Negro in Finance and Educa-
ton" Mr.. Thompson is an edu-
cational product of Drake Univer-
sity, and ranks easily with the
best talent of the colored people
in the state. He read cxtendedly
from the census to show the rapid
material and intellectual growth
made during the past twenty years
by the colored citizens of the re-
public, and proved that more than
a million of the race own and sue
cessfully operate farms, and are
reckoned among the good citizens
who are laboring with brain and
brawn for the ,upbuilding and
greatness of the republic. He
quoted Booker 7. Washington,
preeminently the leader of the race
in the domain Of education, to
demonstrate the grand posslbili-
ties ahead if the colored people
will only unite work with educa-
ton and seek to attain to the
hopes 80 alluringly set out in tile
bow Of promise the future
After the choir singing, "Star
Spangled Banner" Hon. Lafe
Young, editor Daily Capital, was
introduced. His subject was,
"Linco]n and the Proclamation" "
Lafe is one of Iowa's most gifted
orators and was attentively listen-
