COLORED PEOPLE CELEBRATE.
In Honor of Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation.

The last misty, wintry night Of the
old year had passed away. The morn
ing sun of welcome new year shot its
goIuen rays above the eastern skies,
and everything paid homage to- the
glorious event. Soon the fields, the
roads, the streets, revealed moving
bodies of men. Here and there along
the streets a card hanging on the doors
of postofiee, banks and public build
ings informed us of the birth of most
glorious holiday. During the previous
week large bills had been circulated by
the committee on the Emancipation
Proclamation, announcing that it was
to be celebrated at or near Bethel Bap-
tist church, this city.
By 10 o'clock that morning the col
