Juvenile Minstrel Show.
The Home Talent Minstrel
show, under the direction of
Mrs. Maude Reamey, made a
decided hit last evening in the
production of “Alexander’s Rag
time Band.” Mrs. Reamey’s en
tertainments are always a draw
ing card and those who attended
last evening were lavish in their
praise of both the director and
the performers. Owing to the
Y. M. C. A. banquet at the same
hour there were many who did
not see the young minstrels and
fnr +Vioit» Mrc Pocimov
will repeat the show at an early
date.
It would be unfair to men
tion any special artist, as they
all did well, but it goes without
saying that young Wylie Mc
Minn, who has a voice of won
derful sweetness, was the favor
ite of the evening.
The following is the program

Enthusiasm for a
for Newport and
ganized effort to secure
cessary finances with which t
support a salaried secretary ir
the local field were the fruits oj
a magnificent banquet given foi
the young men interested in ;
Y. M. C. A. at the Hazel Hote
Monday evening. The good tim<
and good fellowship of the meet
ing was merely incidental.
The citizens of all professions
and lines of business are awake
to what a Y. M. C. A. means foi
Newport and her young men,
and the spirit of the New Year
seems working with the cause.
A campaign committee of thirty
seven is headed by Dr. H. E.
Dmvell and nine captains named
by him are canvassing the city
for financial help to report to a
mass meeting of the men at 4
o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The
captains, who in turn selected
teams to whom were given the
names of persons assigned to
them, were appointed, as fol
lows: W. A, Barker, W. M.
Dunaway, James H. Johnston.
R. S. Jones, Don Etheridge, A.
Snow, P. S. White, J. D. Carvel
and A. L. Otey.
At the banquet of the Y. M. C.
A. Monday evening at the Hazel
one of the largest crowds ev
er assembled in Newport was
present. It was a success in ev
ery respect from the very start.
The meeting was full of enthus
iasm, every one being cordially
received. All entered into the
spirit of the meeting. About
150 men responded to the call.
Rev. Mr. McKenzie made a
strong address on “The Boy In
Sunday School” He spoke of
the problem of keeping the boy
in the Sunday school and show
ed how important it was to keep
them under the influence of the
Sunday school. Most of the con
verts and those doing religious
work were converted under the
school
this problem
the boy
we hail
of the
certain
this
■fime in his play life. Every<
thing normal plays. The boy
must have his sport and we
.! should help him in it, and to see
! that it develops his mind and
body in the right direction.
Every father wants his boy to
be the very best that it is possi
ble for him to be. The 5 . .M. C.
A. helps the father, pastor,
teacher and church to reach the
boy and help him upward.
Mr. Claude Erwin was the
toastmaster and all who know
him know that it: was well done,
i He gave a brief history of the
Y. M. C. A. and spoke of its
j great growth since 1854, and
| what it has done.
We all feel that Newport will
soon have a strong Y. M. C. A.
and a beautiful building that
will be a credit to our city.
