 officers consider themselves very for tunate in getting g date from the troup, as company generally appears only in the larger towns and cities
 The program to be rendered con- sists of old fashioned rlantation mel odies, folk songs, dialect readings and the history or Tuskegee Institute. The men are highly trained group of singers and there is no doubt that they will create a favorable impress sion here.
 The school is the first ever con- ducted for the negro race and it stands as a monument to the most fa- nous negro this country has ever known, Booker T. Washington. The plant of the school has grown since 1871 from shanty to the point where 1t has 100 buildings large and small, 2,500 acres of land, and an improved lighting and water system. There are forty distinct trades taught there an nually to more than 2,o00 students by a faculty of 200 teachers and workers all of them negroes.
 The concert under the auspices of the church will be free but an offering will be taken for the school. The re- cent death of Booker 1T. Washington will not interrupt the work of the school.
