The Ladies Aid society Of the Baptis

able company of Jubilee Singers for ar
entertainment to be given at the church
on the evening of April 6.
Wherever this excellent company have
appeared they have given the best of sat

Marion M. E. church says: The Ole
Southland Sextette entertained capacity

full way. Differing from the average
Jubilee company, their program was re-
plete with all that the popular mind de-
mands. Not the least satisfactory item
was the personality Of these folks. Ir
