“Tobe Williams reports everything working harmoniously in connection with the grand excursion by the colored people to Hackworth’s colony, in Fort Bend county, on the 19th of June – emancipation day. It is now believed that at least 5000 people will attend that celebration. Houston, Galveston, Richmond, Bellville, Brenham and many other places on the line of the Santa Fe railway will be represented. The trip will be a pleasant one, affording those who go a chance to see some splendid country.””
