Company A, First Battalion Infantrywas seen last Sunday at the undert ak-Ing establishment of Sergt. W. S. Sol¬den where they came to escort the re¬mains of their late comrade, Corporal,William Travers, to his last rest in-.'place. With slow and mournful treadthe company under the cominnnd olCaptain W. A. Hankins wended theirWay to the Sharon Baptist Church atWhich place the funeral was preachednnd afterwards to the Mechanics OOattOtary where they deposited the remains,Owing to the fact that Company A wasohort of ammunition. Volunteers fromCompany C, who also turned out to-pay their respects and formed the sec¬ond plstoon stepped forward after thegrave was covered and fired thre:rounds over the grave of their depart-od comradeCorporal Travers was very ponular.hela in high esteem by both officers

WHIT MONDAY.

Last Monday being Whit Mondaytherefore, according to the agreementmade by the following clubs of theBast End, namely, Lincoln and MessiahAssociations, Little Dove, Lily of theValley, Rose of Sharon, Union Bloomof Youth Clubs paraded the principalstreets of the East End and JacksonWard and thence made their way tothe colored cemetaries. The memberscomposing these clubs were very hand¬somely attired. The Messiah Ass-tion carried a large and beau*ifni ban¬ner on which was painted a portrait ofthe Savior, whi'e the portrait of Abra¬ham Lincoln surrounded by a crest andwreaths of flowers was painted on thoBanner carried by the Lincoln Associa¬tion. The floral tributes were verybeautiful and each elub carried a largebunch in their hands, there were be¬tween twenty and thirty carri naresmore or less, Ailed with males and fe¬males, officers of the clubs, and otherimportant personages, many of whomcarried large Ho ral design**. Altogeth¬er the parade was an excellent one.

THB OBJECTIONABLE FKATfRBS.

The parade in itself was a good oli¬nothing whatever to say contrary tothat. The order was excellent so faraa the participants were concerned butone of the digraceful features which isenough to make any self-.espeetingAfro - American blush with rhum.-.and which we positively objects to,wss the indecent appearance of someof our young as well as- old woman whofollowt>d the parade, wearing clothesthat strongly savored of filthim--This element of our race is the rMutative which prejudiced whites de¬lights to hold up before the gaze of theworld.Rev.

In the "State'' of Monday evening,.lu ie 7th. occurred sn artie e headed"Too Many for Witt," in which it isasserted that the military 01-t-ranizstion which t-ri-ssed tho viaductSunday evening had an idea of heatingtheir way across the bridge.
