The barbecue given by st. Marks
Society on the End inst was a grand
success. Too much credit cannot be
given Rev. Higgins and his able assis-
tants for the manner in which the af-
fair was conducted. There was a large
crowd present, despite the threatening
weather. We trust the society was
something ahead financially. Hon. w.
Z. Green's grafton was a masterful ef-
fort. All hearers were captivated by
it. Rev. James Higgins opened the
programme with an invocation. Con-
gresham Theo. Often and his brother
were the next, followed by Col. ,Weis-
ert. The speaking throughout was as
able as was ever listened to by an
Afro-American audience. Visitors
were present from Chicago and
throughout the state.
There was a barbecue at Fort At
kinson, August 3, and Mr.. Louis Young
made an address. He was met at the
station by a prominent white citizen
and escorted to his home, where a,
luncheon was served. Business was
suspended and the town was crowded
with people from miles around. Mr..
Young was introduced to the audience
of 1900 by Ex-Gov. Hoard, and he de-
livered an eloquent address. Mr.. James
Ellis was the orator of the day. He
gave the audience much intellectual
food; also several pigs and one lamb,
which disappeared quickly. In the
evening there was a theatrical per-
Torrance by home talent, ending with
q cake walk, won by Mr.. Young and
his little daughter. The young white
and Afro-American people had a good
time dancing together. The people at
Fort Atkinson believe that ''Of one
blood hath God made all nations"
