A MISTAKE CORRECTED.

In the Estate" of Monday evening
June 18th, occurred an article headed
TOO Many for Witt" in which Il is
asserted that the military or
ganization which crossed the viad uct
Sunday evening had an idea of beating
their way across the bridge. 1t also
states that a colored man who appear.
ed to be acting in the capacity of chief
marshal was riding i'm buggy and
was watched very closely by Toilmas
ter J. ID. Whit 1t also asserts that
the colored man refused to pay toll.
The facts in the case are as follows:
Sergt.W S. Seldom of Company A, At
tucks Guard, was seated in his buggy
and rode up to inquire If the military
were not exempted from paying toll
The tOllmRster was unable TO give the
information and Sergeant Sel3en hand
ed Mr.. J. ID. Witt his card and assured
him that he was responsible for the
toll of the Company. The
procession passed on in perfect sereni-
ty.
On his return he Sergeant Selden
rode up to the toll house but Mr. Witt
was no where to be seen. The money
is in the hands of Sergeant Selden and
ready TO be paid over at any time Nh
W III dckfO Del Sedut Oeiucu now men
were in line and the number was fur
nished him before the Company march
ed forward.
It seems somewhat strange that Mr.
j ID. Whit was sc blinded to right
and fair play that he should forget
why the Undertaker's card was given
when he had conversation with him
and left him his card ss evidence OF
good faith. The color OF mans skin
should not make this difference in a
mans memory. As soon as Tollmas-
ter Witt can say legally whether or
not military is taxable the money will
b paid.

WHIT MONDAY.

Last Monday being Whit Monday
therefore, according to the agreement
made by the following clubs of the
East End, namely, Lincoln and Messiah
Associations, Little Dove, Lily of the
Valley, Rose of Sharon, Union Bloom
of Youth Clubs paraded the principal
streets Of the East End and Jackson
Ward and thence made their way to
the cOlored cemeteries. The members
composing these clubs were very hand
somely attired. The Messiah Associa-
tion carried large and beautiful ban
ner on which was painted portrait of
the Savior, while the portrait of Abrs-
ham Lincoln surrounded by a crest and
wreAths Of flowers was painted on tn e
Banner carried by the Lincoln Associa-
ton. The floral tributes were very
beautiful and each club carried large
bunch in their hands, there were be-
tween twenty and thirty CARR ages
more or less, filled with males and fe-
males, officers Of the clubs, and other
important personages, many of whom
carried large floral designs. Altogeth-
or the parade was an excellent one.
THE OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES.
The parade in itself was good one
nothing whatever to say contrary to
that. The order was excellent so far
as the participants were concerned but
one Of the digraceful features which is
enough to make any self--especting
Afro American blush with shame,
and which we positively objects to,
was the indecent appearance of some
Of our young as well as old women who
followed the parade, wearing clothes
that strongly savOred of filthiness.
This element of our race is the repre-
sentative which prejudiced whites de-
lights to hold up before the gaze of the
world.

yesterday with Mrs. Lucretia Farr, wife

as stating that her name was at

meeting which is to be held at the
county court house at 4 o'clock this
afternoon.

with the movement and the following
