EMANCIPATION SERVICE
One the Happiest and Best Events
0skaloosa Has Enjoyed.

The Emancipation services at the
A. NJ. E. church Monday evening was
on of the successful affairs of the sea-
son. About forty of the old soldiers
were in attendance and the building
was crowded so that standing room
was at premium. The program was
somewhat extended but those who
spoke had something to say and the
interest did not lag for a moment. 1t
was after eleven o'clock before the
benediction was pronounced and every
one who was present had been bene-
flied and helped by things said and
heard.
George H. Woodson held the crowd
at closest attention by an array of
facts that he poured forth concerning
the colored race and its place and
progress in the land. George under
stands how to use the English Ian
guage and how to make it forcible
He was at his best last evening in
telling what the colored people had
done, were doing and were going to
do. A. G. Clark and Simpson Mitchell,
Rev. w. L. Lee and Rev. o. B. Smith
had parts on the program and said the
right thing at the right time. InvO-
cation was asked by Rev. J. B. Atkins
of the Congregational church. Hon.
John F. Lacey told about the negro
in the civil war in an interesting way
and Rev. Eugene Allen spoke upon
Lincoln and the negro. There was
good music and good recitations and
all in all it was one of the best enter
tainments Oskaloosa has had in years.
The old soldiers enjoyed it immensely
and it has set them to thinking along
new lines. The presence of the boys
in blue was appreciated and the SOL
diers who were out last evening are
not the only ones who are thinking.
Rev. T. Tyler was chairman of the ar
rangements and master of ceremonies
and he was ably assisted by Rev. w.
L. Lee, Rev. o. B. Smith, Henry Allen
and w. J. Anderson.
