A SIX-YEAR-OLD PREACHER.

This Line.

This Line.
The colored people of Savannah have a
sensation just now in the shape of lit
tie 6-year-old boy preacher. The Child
wears short dresses and is small for his
age. Alonzo Lawrence is his name and
he is accompanied by his parents, who
live in Atlanta. Little Alonzo was seen
and heard at the First African Baptist
Church last night and acclaimed at con-
siderable length. For very young child
he has managed to get a great deal of the
Bible by heart as well as considerable re-
ligious matter. Some of his audience were
inclined to regard him as one of the won
ders presaging the approaching end OF the
world, while others merely thought that
his parents had managed to teach him n
great deal. AT any rate, the little fellow
seems to have a wonderful memory.
