Jan. rirsi. .In accordance with their annual cu (torn, the. colored people of Granville County assembled in very large num bers and observed Emancipation J3ay. The streets during the day, and es pecially at the noon hour when the rather long parade Was in motion, were full of the colored people who were; especially quiet and orderly in' their deportment. The. colored band headed the .pro cession which consisted of a great many turnouts in which were arrangr ed material illustrations of the bus inesses engaged in . by the negro. Mayor Dennis G. Brummitt deliver ed an address in the Opera House be fore -the colored people gathered there. He spoke helpful and encour aging words for the race.

During the day resolutions were adopted as follows : The Resolutions. " We, your committee on Resolu tions and Statistics take pleasure in offering the following: For .years we have met at this time and place and in humble and in offensive, way, celebrated the Eman cipation Proclamation, whiah gave us our freedom. We have -met today in this beautiful town, and in a com munity' where peace and harmony reign between the races. We have marched through the streets and lin der the shadow of a beautiful monu- ment erected tto the memory of the uonteuerate dead, who, fought heroic- ally for what they conceived to be the right. To-day the colored people pie as well as the whites, view with pride this monument and admire and applaud the spirit which prompt- ed its erection. The white people in turn unite with us in the celebration of this day. Such a harmonious blen - ding of what was once diverse and an tagonistic feeling and sentiment excites in us a - feeling that is inex pressable and almost uncontrolable. We can 'but exclaim: Behold what wonderful things Gcd has wrought! Slay this friendly, spirit that now ex Asifcs . know no end, and let us all u nite in invoking the: curses of Heav ven and Hell upon him who malic iously, by word or act dees any thing to mar it. ,t Foor 47 years we have lived andjmdebte to said estate to come for labored as free men.
