ton than any other people OF our race In
the world.
THE mountain people are not de-
graded population. The women are puter
and sweeter than the men, true TO the
family life without having been taught.
''They retain the hreside industries I'm
their log cabins, and In one instance, a
family was found where practically every
thing was made In the home-clothing,
shooting, molasses, meal, bacon, were
all the products of the home. and they
were almost independent of the outside
world.
1T was practically revival OF the
lost arts of our ancestors"
Continuing, the speaker described the
genuine hearty hospitality of these people
and also OF their misguided courage,
which resulted in numberless family
feuds
In conclusion the speaker told OF the
great lack OF the means OF education I'm
the mountain hills of Kentucky and the
lack OF churches with educated minis
ters. and closed with a plea for Berea
college, which is doing so much TO ele-
vate the mountain people.

We congratulate a local publication on
being able. after many days. to secure a
few pictures OF Martinique. the scene of
the recent heartrending tragedy. 1t is
we'll. however, for a newspaper, to give

some authenticity to its pictures. Last
night the newspaper in question printed
q picture purporting to be that of Vice
Consul Testart and family. but which in
truth IL a fake. 1t shows two gentlemen,
neither of whom at all resembles .Tes-
tart. The three young girls In the back
ground are not relatives OF Mr.. Testart,
who had five children. a married daugh-
ter, who perished,. two younger daugh-
ters, the elder not over nine years. and
two sons. Richard and Charles. aged ten
and twenty-five. Mr.. Testart's name was
not Edward as stated, but Amedee Tes-
tart Lincoln remarked that you might
fool some of the people some OF the time
and some OF the people all of the time,
but that you cannot fool all of the peo-
pie all the time. Pictures are interesting
TO the public. but when the public is not
certain as TO their faithfulness II is only
natural they should be regarded with
suspicion. The News has given during
