Description
“Of Course” As we predicted, several of the equality whites were on band at the Negro celebration at Weston on Thursday day of last week. Our colored re-Yankee skule marm, and an ebony gentleman were the distinguished orators. Bellower (Augustus Beller) was in his element. He fraternized admirably, but he failed to make a proper report in the Border Times. For shame! All present gravitated to one common and proper level, and effectually set aside such unfortunate distinctions as the color of the skin and “kink of the har.” It was a happy time; the weather was hot, and the scentsation was awful. Go in, Beller, -- Old Milt will hold your hat and Aunt Dinah shout “Bress his sweet soul.”Date(s) of Creation
