The Lawrence, Mass, Daily Ameri
can has the following concerning the
appearance of the Fisk Jubilee Singers
in that town. at never makes any
difference what the weather is, people
always go in battalions to listen to

they touch the hearts of the listeners,
who seem to catch the enthusiasm and
excitement of the wild rhapsody, and
to forget everything else. For the

of rice and cotton fields and the dusky
nation in their humble cabins singing
the songs which are now the property
of the world
