TO say concerning the recent mobblng
OF Mormon" Elders In the South:
Mormon proseiytlng In the South.
ern States has always been attended
with considerable risk, but lately the
mountnlnscrH o. Kentucky have been
especially active In making lifc bur-
den for the Saints. Several Mormon
Elders have been tarrrd ana fruthercd,

State. They have appealed Tor ala to

what the Chronicle may say regarding
the "Mormons.' u H. needless TO do
more than point out their error for the
benefit Of readers who may not be In
formed Of the hostile attitude OF the
Chronicle regarding the people u Utah.
In this connection II may be said that
Mormon" prosclyting In the South has
not always been attended with consid-
cradle risk. as thousands u returned
missionaries know. In the greater part
Of the South there r. no risk. Nor have
the mountainocrs of Kentucky been os-
pecially active aa stated In some small
towns There has been opposition. but
the Stories thereof have been greatly
exaggerated. No Mormon" Elders
have been tarrcd nnd fcathcred. vlo-
iencc has been offered In but few In
stances. and the Orders 10 leave the
State have not been numerous Some
Mormon" meeting houses have been
destroyed. As 10 the final statement Of
the Chronicle. we challenge Il 20 pro-
