In fact, every thing worth showing. There will also be floats typical of the times from 1863 to 1913. A list of prizes is being made up for the different entries. A numDer of white friends, among the busi ness men have already promised ar ticles for these prizes which will be published, together with the names of the contributors, as soon as com pleted. Tho Committee feels greatly encouraged by the hearty response of these friends, and after seeing others, feels sure of having an at tractive list of prizes. The negroes are called on to set aside this day as out* ofr cuanKBglv- Ing and feasting and the white friends are asked to.help Ulso, to the extent of granting their servants a holiday, or at least half holiday, that we all may gather to thank Al mighty God for the many blessings He has poured upon our people. We feel sure that our white neighbors will grant this, because we have ever found thetp sympathetic and willing to assist us if the causo is a worthy one, which is evidence of the friendly relations that have ex isted here so long. We are pro foundly thankful Tor this and feel that we arc blessed above many oth er sections. To stimulate thrift and greater ef ficiency, to Instill pride of race and a wholesome self-respect, to mag nify and emphasize character and bring about greater respect and rev erence for those who have labored where we now reap, are some of the things hoped, for t in this cele bration. * * An effort will be made to get every old person, especially ex- slavea out on this day, and have them in the parade—they are to oc cupy the seats of honor. The route and probably a descrip tion of the parade in detail, togeth er with the list of prizes, will be an nounced later. THE COMMITTEE. Tax Notice.
