Demoralized, pg.2

Description

"DEMORALIZED. -Since the departure of "all the brains" of the clique, that institution has become perfectly demoralized. They attempted to gut up an opposition to the Fourth of July celebration. The great Hair Renovator was on the rampage on Saturday and Sunday, threatening dire vengeance against any colored man who would join in the procession on Monday. He was riding around town with a huge placard on his buggy, inscribed, "The colored people will not parade on the Fourth of July." He succeeded in influencing a few sore-heads, weak knees and old women in breeches, but our portion of the procession was a success, notwithstanding the herculean (pigmy) efforts of the clique and their herald."
