SONS OF REVOLUTION COMING

The Ohio Society of the Sons Of
the Revolution makes an excursion to
Berea next Saturday coming on a
special train and remaining four or
five hours as the guests of Berea
College.
This society is one of the Oldest
and most honorable of all our pat
riotic associations. 1t embraces the
descendants of those who fought in
the War of the Revolution under
Washington. 1t embraces many of
the most distinguished citizens of all
the states. 1t is especially useful as
an organization which influences
North, South, East and West alike.
Just before his death General C.
NJ. Clay gave to Berea College his
certificate of membership in this
great organization. 1t is one of the
important discoveries of Berea Col
lege that among people of the south
ern mountains there are a great many
descendants of Revolutionary soldiers.
This fact, as President Frost has
made 1t public, has done more than
anything else toward raising the es-
timation of the mountain people
in the eyes of the world. 1t is pro-
posed to organize societies of the
Sons and Daughters of the Revolu-
ton among the students of Berea
and there will be great looking up
of ancestry. To facilitate this Presi-
dent Frost has procured at great
expense public document which gives
a list Of all persons who were receiv-
ing pensions for Revolutionary ser
vice in the year 1884. This shows
some five hundred names from the
mountains of Eastern Kentucky. The
book is in Secretary CANDLES office
where it may be consulted by those
interested. The residence of the Sc
yeral pensioners are given by counties
and the Citizen contains herewith
map showing the counties of eastern
Kentucky in the year 1884. This
map has great interest of its own aside
from its connection with Revolution
airy great grandfathers.

The Commencement program Of Be
rea College this year is more interest
ing than ever. Every one who can
possibly do so should be on hand in
the early morning and stay all day.
Even then no one person could see all
that is to be seen and enjoy all
that is to be enjoyed on Berea's cam
pus on June 9th.
To one who wishes the utmost en-
joyment and benefit for the day a
few suggestions may be helpful. First,
Beree is an educational city, IL is not
one school but a group of schools
under one management. There is
the College for more advanced stu
dents, the Normal Department for
the training OF teachers, the Academy
with five different courses Of study
for those who do not expect to teach
and the Model Schools for those less
advanced and several great lines OF
industry like woodwork, printing,
mountain agriculture and household
management. Visitors should inspect
some OF these industrial plants in the
early morning and be ready TO attend
the exercises in the Tabernacle which
begin by o'clock. The Tabernacle
exercises in the forenoon are ex-
hibitions and speeches by the stu
dents. These are arranged I'm groups
and Il is requested that visitors shoul
not enter or leave the Tabernacle
during the exercises. At the close
OF each group OF exercises, practi-
cally every half hour. gun will be
fired and few minutes given for
those who wish TO enter or leave
the Tabernacle. In this way you
can know how the program is moving
On.
At half past eleven the graduates
receive their diplomas and the prize
Bibles are given out. This is the
most important spot in the day.
Immediately after the morning ex-
ercises In the Tabernacle there VIII
be the laying of the corner stone on
the new Pearsons' Hall. This VIII
be a large and beautiful building IN
which young men of the College De-
partment will have their rooms ana
IL is expected to accommodate more
than one hundred.
At one o'clock begin the afternoon
exercises which consist of addresses
by distinguished speakers from ABROAD
EVERY one should find time TO visit
the fair of homespun industries in
Lincoln Hail and to ascend to the
tower OF the new Chapel. Besides
this every one should try to step
inside OF the Library and the Print
ing Office.
There will be in one of the small
buildings near the Tabernacle
Mace where visitors can leave their
lunch baskets in charge of keeper
and their babies in charge of one oil
the lady teachers and a number oil
young girls. This is a great help 10
the mothers.
Coffee. lemonade, sandwiches ana
other refreshments will be served at
the pavilion Just north of the LID

OPPOSING PRHIBITION:- "A meet
ing of business men was held in I,ou-
isvilie last week at which resolutions
were adopted opposing state wide
prohibition at this time. There have
been several mems names used with
out authority, and the meeting has
been much discredited, but there is
no doubt that there will be strong
opposition to statewide prohibition.
II the liquor interests would obey the
laws and submit to reasonable regu-
lation, there is little doubt but what
they could find enough supporters for
clean saloons to save them, but the
liquor interests can be counted on
to make fools of themselves at
critical time, and there is pretty good
reason to believe that they will so
disgust the people that they will be
put out of business entirely.
FOUR GIRLS BURNED:-Four
little girls were burned to death as
result of an accident at the Com
mencement of the Central City High
School last week. A lamp overturned
and the girls were killed in the panic
and fire that followed about a dozen
more were very seriously injured.
NEW TRIAL:-'The Court of APP
peals has granted a new trial for Mrs.
Amelia Allen, who was convicted in
Breathitt of killing Mrs. Fanny Tut.
JOHNSON NOT TO QUIT:-An in
vestigation of Gen. Johnson's office
last week under circumstances which
he misunderstood led him to offer
his resignation to the Governor, but
he has withdrawn it now that the
circumstances have been cleared
up.
LEBUS RESIGNS Pres. LeBus
of the Burnley Tobacco Society who
uided that society to the successful
finish of its war last year, has re-
signed his place. His successor has
not yet been named.

Duffy Seaye is a freshman who halls
from the Pasadena high school. where
he made a good showing during his

honors in vaulting.
Bradbeer is a freshman Of Occidental
academy origin, where he showed up
fast in the 440, and it is expected that
he will be valuable in the relay. Co
bar, another freshman, made good in
the distances in the Orange county
meet last season. ana it is expected
that under the coaching Of Gorton he
win develop into n strong distance
man in his first college year.
Al Gaskel will also be a strong con-
tender for the distance events, as he
showed in second place last year ana
was considered the fastest man on the
football field this season.

less uncertainty connected with it.

work and with all candidates working

Coach Gorton is hard and consci-
entious worker who knows how to get
what he wants out of his men. At
instructing, the coach not only relics
on showing the beginner how to per-
form by telling him how it should be
done, but describes with his own ac-
tions, while all the time he keeps up
a running comment.
The coach expects good results from
Wieman and Richardson who, accord
ing to his opinion, are the cream of the
new material. Speaking of Richard
son, Gorton said: Richardson will
undoubtedly be stronger N the dis
tances than the men were last year"
The coach looks forward to Wieman
being a good point gamer in the high
jump.
