Westmorelsnd delighted the audience
with piano solos. and Miss Eta ThOmp-
son rendered. in q charming style, a
fine organ solo. Misses Lillian Lamp
kin and Meta Rust deserve special
mention for the bewitching manner in
which they recited, while the tiny girls
and boys acquitted themselves beauti-
fully. Among the latter were the little
Misses Pendleton and brother, Ether
Reed and Earl Barker.
One Of the most taking" pieces was
a rainbow scene. represented by lovely
girls in wresths and scarfs of rainbow
tints, each one reciting a verse about
the color she personated. Miss Charlotte
Taylor won much applause for herself
in a beautifully rendered piano solo.
The highest prize, handsome gold
medal was awarded Miss Sallie TreAIe,
of King George. and the second prize
was won by Miss Genevieve Grigsby also

The trial took place in an open square
in the center of the tawn. Strickland,
the accused, is 80 years Of sge. There
was no Judge or jury, the people acting
in those capacities. Many witnesses
were heard. One colored man who liv-
ed on Strickland's place, testified to the
good character of the minister, but sew
eral neighbors gave anything but IA
yorable reports. At o'clock no de-
cision had been arrived at, but it was
decided to adjourn the court to the
woods, one mile ont Of town. The So
Der element is making an effort to save
the Negroes neck, and have adopted the
plan of moving about to delay q verdict
and perhaps win their case. The
statement made by Hose is not believed
and it is feared that an innocent man
may be lynched, if cooler council does
not prevail. strickland denied all
knowledge Of complicitv in the crime.

THE REPUBLICAN, STATE
CONVENTION.

The State Republican Convention
will be held in 'Des Moines August
the I'd, to nominate candidates for
State offices and such other business
as is necessary. There will be more
than 1000 delegates. We hope
that when they come here that the
State Central Committee will so en-
large its membership, as to add a
colored man on that committee, this
matter was talked over by the COM
mittee two years ago in convention at
Cedar Rapids, but no definite action
was then taken, yet we hope that
action will be taken by this com
ming convention. ~
