Musical Concert.


But few of our people realize the rapid
progress that the colored people are max
ing every where, and especially in our own
city. Surely no city west of the Missls-
sippi river has such variety of good and
we'll trained singers as has the capital
city now, and but few east. On last
Thursday evening at the A. NJ. E. church
a grand musical concert was given for
the pastor Rev. Reeves, and was all that
the most sanguine persons could expect
from musical standpoint. Prof. &, l..
Holt, with his Dumas choral society, Prot
Z. A. Moseley, with the A. NJ. E. church
choir, wara each at ihair hest, and i, we
shoald be judge it Nching some par~e
ever heard in the chqd, limbs or bod&sass
Of 3 high order, sk1iilruny and artiscically
rendered. Space will not permit but to
mention few of the best rendered. The
trio by johnson, Moseley and Hall, the
contralto duet by Mesdames Coalson and
Birney, and solo entitled Bobolink," by
Mrs. j. f. Blsgburn, captivated the audi
encc. "Swinging in the Grape Vine
SWING" by Mrs. j. H. Shepard, was
excel ent; it caught the people. Solo by
Prof. Holt, also solo by Mrs. Coalson, and
"Annie Laurie" by Mcsdancs Birney,
Coalson and j. T. Blagburn was fine.
Each of the above pieces received encores.
Several others were very good. We were
sorry to see so few of our people out. They
don't fully appreciate high grade music as
we should.
