Last Monday evening at the
invitation of Rev. D. NJ. Seals Of
the st. James NJ. E. Church, this
City, a number Of white citizens
attended a lecture in that edifice
by DR.. NJ. C. B. Mason, of Gin
cinnatti, Ohio, and native Of the
town of Houma, this State. DR..
Mason is the Corresponding Sec
rotary Of the Freedman Aid and
Southern Educ ational Society and
his subject was the 'Second
Emancipation" He made one of
the most effective and brilliant
addresses to the negroes ever de-
livered in New iberia. The sub
ject as discussed by him was very
interesting and he can well be
termed the best negro orator of
the South. The little church was
filled with the best element Of the
negro race and no doubt his pfac-
teal and able lecture will do
much good in this community.
