SExTETTE ENJOYED
GIVEN BY UNIVERSITY BOYS
THE CITIZENS OF COLUMBUS ENJOYED
ARARE TREAT AT LAKE PARK WE'D
NESDAY EVENING

The citizens of Columbus en-
joyed rare treat on Wednesday
evening when the University
Sextette gave delightful pro-
gram at Lake Park. The young
men are composed of students of
the University and all of them
possess great musical ability.
Their rich voices blended so de-
lightfully. and this mingled with
humor and repartee made every
minute of the time pleasant to
the large and appreciative audi
ence present.
Messrs. Billy Mckinney, first
tenor, VIM. Rowland, second
tenor, Heron Rowland, bass,
and Harry Love, baritone, made
a complete quartette, that sang
with wonderful feeling to an ap-
plausive audience.
To the pianist, Mr.. John Pey-
ton, of this city, belongs much
of the success and reputation
that this quartette is making
throughout the state. The way
he accompanies is nothing less
than marvellous from the fact
that music with him is only a
side line.
Mr.. Nat Ligon, as the specialist
in the role of the ''nigger' is
classy. His songs and mono
logues were bright and catchy.
and he kept the audience con-
vulsed.
1t is predicted Of the boys that
they will be classed with the
famous sextettes of the country.
They expect to tour the state,
having left Columbus Thursday
morning for Kosciusko.
