ments will be made without de-

The Einhth of MAY.

Sunday was the eighth Of May
and according to program the
colored people of this city and
surrounding country and other
cities Assem- bled here to celebrate
/ it Monday. The 8th IS always OBJ
served here as a day Of joyous
celebration, and in preparation
for the occasion every arrange
ment which could add to the
pleasure Of the day had been
made Excursions came from
Tuscaloosa and Starkville bring
ing large crowds. and the coiored
people from the county arrived
in large numbers.
The streets began to fill up by
eleven o'clock and at that hour
the parade occurred. 1t was not
near 50 large or imposing as on
former occasions, and it left the
impression that those who re
joiced in their liberation from
slavery, which the occasion was
intended to commemorate, are
fast passing hence. The Fair
Grounds at the foot OF Market
street was the scene of the eel
ebration and here the exercises
were held, the addresses made,
the games played and the day
enjoyed.
A feature of the celebration
was the annual appearance of
Aunt Rachael, an old colored
woman. perhaps, ninety years
old. In years past she began
the custom Of securing the finest
livery turnout the city could af-
ford for her drive on the
eighth, and although she removed
to Memphis several years ago,
she has never given up this Gus
tom. She is bent with age and
her mind almost gone, but
memories of former celebrations
caused her to return again to
Columbus this year. With her
savings from the year she hired
the finest trap Peacher & CASTOR
could turn out, and with a liv-
cried coachman at the reins she |
took in de eight, riding
through the principal streets /
to her hearts delight. Aunt |
Rachael returned to Memphis |
yesterday, and those who noted |
her ride on Monday fear that she I
will never ride again in the Col
umbus celebration.
The crowd which was here on
Monday was orderly and peace
able. There Was little drinking
and no drunkenness and only |
one arrest for carrying concealed I
weapons

HYOMEi A RECORD BREAKER.
Novel Method OF Curing Catarrh. Sold
On Approval bY Mayo & Weaver.

In Columbus, Mayo & Weaver
are endorsing it and guarantee
ing to refund the money unless
Hyomei cures catarrh. They
have sold a great many Hyomei
outfits, and to-day no other treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has
as many friends in Columbus and
vicinity as Hyomei.

curing this too common disease.
It sends by direct inhalation to
every cell of the air passages of
the head, throat and lungs, a
balsamic air that destroys all
catarrhal germs. purifies the
blood with the additional ozone,
and makes a complete and last
ing cure of any catarrhal trouble
You take no risk in buyiny
Hyomei. Mayo & Weaver posi-
lively guarantee to refund your
money unless it cures.

Tuesday, MAY 10, 1904.

Some little excitement was
caused Monday night by the
sound of rapid shooting in South
west Columbus, which upon in
vestigation proved to be at the
residence of Mr.. II. Silberberg.
1t seems that Mr.. Arthur Silber-
berg was disturbed by unusual
sounds in the yard and going out
to ascertain the cause, discovered
a man near the house who dis
played an unseemly interest in
Mr.. Silberberg's residence, and
who ignored all inquiries as to
his business. Mr.. Silberberg
then tried the persuasive quail
tiles of leaden messengers and,
after firing a hot fusilade in the
direction of which the intruder
appeared. succeeded in soaring
him away. Mr.. Silberberg did
not recognize the person but
feels satisfied that the man was
white. As yet there is no evil
dence to show that the man was
wounded from the fire he was
subjected TO.
