The Jubilee Singers Coming.

Our readers will be delighted to learn
that the people Of Independence are to be
favored with visit from the famous
Colored Tennessee Jubilee Singers, who
will give one of their grand concerts at
Leytze's Hall, this week, Saturday eve
ming, June 9th. They seem to feel the
spirit of the melodies they sing, and in the
more rapturous of the camp meeting
hymns, are carried away by the language
to which they give utterance. Their
enunciation is clear and distinct, and the
listener is never wcaried by the length Of
the programme. There is charming
variety of voice and action about the en-
tire affair that absolutely enchants young
and old The intensity of the language
in dealing with sacred subjects the wrapt
gestures, the clasping of hands, and sway
ing to and fro of the body, are entirely
natural, and therefore form the best pic
ture of plantation life that have been pre-
sented on any stage.
They have splendid programme, and
we select few of the pieces:
Gwine to be Meetin' Here tonight. Cum for
to Tell You Bout How Cum Along Shine Along,
de Spirit is de Ingineer Gwine to Ride up in de
Chariot. Been Lst'ning all de Night Long. Old
Satan Tried for to Tempt my Mud. You Bettah
dun Humble Yeself Some for Paul and Some for
Sias. Go Down Moses. Roll, Jordan. Roll
Swing Low. Sweet Chariot. Way Down upon the
Suwanee River (by request)
There are several others. There Is sure
to be a crowded house, and it will be wise
to secure tickets and seats in time; now
for sale at the Post office. Reserved seats,
70 cents; admission, so cents; children,
25 cents.

have struck the Conservative in u tender

to cavorting around in a style quite re-
