REV. ROSCOE MURRAY
Closed a Very Successful Meeting in
Louisa.

Tuesday night marked the close
of one of the most successful re-
vival meetings held in our
town for some time. Our own ev-
angelist the Rev Roscoe Murray,
who is so well and favorable known
throughout this part of the country,
was engaged to coduct the meet
ings, which have been hled in the
JBaptst Church here. His recep-
tion to this. his home town was one
of triumph as noticed by the gre At
crowd at the first days meeting and
and the enthusiasm from the first
has been wonderful, At the very
beginning the large auditorium was
literally packed with our people
eager to hear the young evangelist.
The nteresit manifested at the be-
ginning continued to increase to the
very last moment, Amidst the dow
pour of rain that marked the early
days of the meetings the crowds
continued to come. The sunday
School room and gallery were press
ed into service to accommodate the
crowd.
Rev. Murray's manner of speaking
spade spade and offers no compro-
mise with sin in any form but OPEN
ly and boldly condemns it wherever
found and in such terms that his
meaning cannot be mlslinterpreted
He has proven himself an evangelist
in whom is the Spirit OF the Lord
and one of whom cur people are
justly proud. His sermons are
noticeable again in the absence Of
tear stained" stories; but are char-
acterized by simple gospel @futh

FURTHER Facts.
In Connection With the MaTcum-Van-
hoOse Tragedy.

The young men came down with
Oscar Haley. son of Tom Haley,
well known East End citizen, and
were his guests throughout the day,
Haley, himself having been near at
hand when the boldup occurred at
Breeder Friday night,
Jones is time-keeper with an n.
and W. gang force, and Haley is EN-
ployed with Cassell and Elliott, the

and Thomas were in foreman's

ed them to hand over their mon
ey.
Jones had between s4OO and $500
OF his own money, which he gave
to Marcum. who then disappeared.
Haley was in an adjoining car
about thirty or forty feet away and
did not learn OF the hoid1p until
informed by the victims. The muir
der OF vanhoose by Marcum which
followed, and the subsequent killing
of Marcum by Damron proved
too much for the young clerks and
they decided to leave that section
Monday.
Jones and Thomas both live in Vir
ginia. The story printed in an
evening paper that they and Haley
were arrested and takne to William
son and locked up in the Mingo
county Jail is absolutely unfounded.
Grover Yates, an n. & w, brake
man of this city talked with the
detective while he was hurrying to
Breeder to capture Marcum. Van
hoose remarked, That youngster
will have to beat me gun; that's
all there's to it,
Smith Callahan. of this city, who
was formerly an N. and w. brake

KENTUCKY NORMAL COLLEGE
Next Term Begins January list, With
Same Faculty.

False reports intended TO injure
the Kentucky Normal College con
tinue to be circulated. so we are
Informed, by persons interested in
securing pupils for other schools.
One of these reports is that board
will be high in Louisa this year. We
have denied the truth of this re-
port repeatedly and now do so
again. II has never been high and
will not be raised this year. $3.50
per week is the ruling rate and
no pupil need pay more unless he
or she require something more than
the usual accommodations. Pay no
attention TO any stories of this
kind, but come on to Louisa.
Another report is that Prof. BY
ington has severed his connection
with the school. lie has not done
so, and is now in Louisa, having
finished the special work he con
tracted to do elsewhere. The X.
N. c, will open Jan, list, under his
management and with the same ef-
ficlent faculty that has been in
charge heretofore. Prof Kennison
has fully recovered his health and
will be on duty as heretofore.
The business department willibe
in good hands this year and ar
rangements are under way to add
a department of telegraphy, with
full equipment.

EASTERN KENTUCKY
Attracting the Attention Of Church
Authorities.

In speaking of the conditions now
existing in Eastern Kentucky the
Central Methodist of last week had
among other things. this to say;
In addition to the great increase
OF population in that country, and
the vast wealth of 1t, is the signi-
ficant fact that much OF it has an
old settled population of very sub
stantial people, There is no better
blood in the veins OF any people
than in those of Eastern Kentucky.
A lawless element has given the cou
try bad reputation, but that class
has always been in the minority and
has had much more notoriety than
it deserved. There are many cul-
tured and prosperous people in that
section. and many more humble poor
people who are deserving and law
abiding.
The Church has here one of the
great opportunities presented to her,
in these times when God seems to
be opening so many doors to His
people
The Three Great Factors.
The Sunday School, the Public
School. and the Church are to be
the three great factors in the moral.
mental and spiritual salvation of
that country The efforts in the
past have been too sporadic, in the
future they should be more sub
stantial. Sensational trips through
that country, like the hasty march
of few Salvation Army people
from Jackson to Whitesburg. some
years ago, will do no permanent
good. A spiritual evangelism is nee
cessary as in every place. in getting
souls truly converted, but what Isl
needed is to establish the people, 10
promote Sunday Schools. and build
permanent houses of worship to ac-
commodate we'll organized congre-
cations
The people of that country have
endured every kind OF fanatic and
had every religious fad that is know
to any place Students, cranks, in
experienced boy preachers, adyen-
turers OF every description, have
been harbored there and harrassed
those people. Missionary experiments
is of every kind have been tried
in that country, and most of them
found wanting"
Romantic and sensational efforts
should now be dispensed with, and
the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ
should address itself to that PROP
lem as to any other. The height
of a hill makes little difference. We
talk much nonsense about the
mountain region" 1t is not distinct
tly mountain region, as there are
really very few mountains in East
ern Kentucky worthy to be called
by that "high-sounding term" but
