The State at Large

The colored people of Butte are preparing to celebrate the anniversary of their emancipation on a grand scale. Permission has been obtained from the secretary of war for the famous Twenty-fifth infantry band, stationed at Fort Missoula, to be present on that day, and it will head the procession and also furnish music at Columbia gardens, where the celebration will be held.
