HOME TALENT

In every town city, there is latent talent that
few realize All that is necessary make the city bril-
liant is to bunsh the latent talent until it shines with
briancy that dazzles and awakens the town into life
and activity There few that encourage home
talent they should. They have comparatively few
ertainments and what they have generally by out of
town entertainers Right here is where they making
the mistake that should be permitted to continue
The high class entertainments and lectures by
out OF town celebrities necessary to the life of the
communty but there is a latent talent that will cost
much less and entertain more, right here at home.
We pay high prices to people who from dis
tance to entertain when might be just WE'LL if
not better entertained by home talent, if will
only dig 1t up burnsh it and enjoy it. Doubtless nine
out of every ten young and middle aged persons within
the limits of our municipality be trained to make
good entertainers It may be brass bands orchestras
theatrcas concerts readings lectures talks upon timely
subjects scientific developments but in any event. the
talent is here awaiting development and if only get
busy and utilize it, this community will take on lively
and happy attitude that will make its atmosphere attract
i've and enjoyable.
1t is for some to say cannot do such things
We can we WILL and the time devote to these
things the better entertain and there for
eign outoftown entertainers who do better Some
may give lecture upon ndustrals and tell things
that Will interest and instruct. All about things
we know little of except in general way and very little
at that. What need is awakening of lee
lures by home talent series of concerts also by home
talent La other words may this entire commun-
y into forum entertainment bureau with something
to entertain us at least week. and while
thus pfoVldg entertainment we are cultlvatng IN our
people sefpossession and confidence that will be of
great benefit to them long they live.
The local branch of the National Association for the
Advancement of Coored People under the leadership of
the president Prof. G. W. Hawkins, has come forward
with an idea of this kind, and Tuesday night January
30 the first of series of discussions will be held in
der to develop home talent This discussion which will

lett. and his denomination is forecast.
Representatives Longworth of Ohio
and Graham of Illinois are the active
candidates for the floor leaderships.
Organization of the democratic ma
Jority also will be put over until Just
before the first session. The gem
eral belief is that Representative Gar
rett of Tennessee will be selected floor
leader, and Representative Oldfield of
Arkansas reelected party whip. Mr..
Garrett has been the acting leader
since Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina was taken i'll two years ago.
oeAS ioaueiS are preparing
