Jefferson was an ideal master. . . . There was never such a time in Virginia as during the visit of General Lafayette. Two years after this Mr. Jefferson died. Then began our troubles. We were scattered all over the country, never to meet each other again until we meet in another world. A peculiar fact about his house servants was that we were related to one another, and as a matter of fact we did not need to know that we were slaves.\u2019\u201d

\u201cA Successful Concert.\u201d
   \u201cAn event of much interest was the one hundred voice concert given at the First Colored Baptist church Monday and Tuesday nights of this week. The concert was managed by Prof. Robert Kelser of the city public schools, assisted by a number of ladies and one hundred children.
   \u201cMr. Kelser stated in the beginning that he wanted to raise a dollar for every child on the stage or one hundred dollars. Besides giving an entertainment that delighted the large audience, both white and colored, which filled the church, the most extravagant estimates were surpassed and largely over one hundred dollars were raised.\u201d
