The last number OF the Literary
Society Anniversaries took place
on Wednesday evening, Oct. 10th,
when two of the young ladies socie-
ties gave a union exhibition. There
were three representatives from each
society. The Misses Blanche Nicola,
OF Detroit, Mich, Cora Sherman, Of
Wadsworth, D., and Myrtle Starns.
Of Valley Oak, KY, representing Pi
Epsilon Pi. the Misses Margaret
Schumacher. OF Milroy, Pa, Nellie Coe,
OF Sumner. Ia. and Cora Newton Of
Huntley, ILL.,, representing Utile
Dulce.
The productions which consisted Of
essays. readings, and original stories
gave evidence of clear thought, orig
inality and art of expression such as
has seldom been equaled on similar
occasions heretofore.
The rendition Of special music by
chorus selected from both societies
was very pleasing and attractive ad-

GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT
Ancient Turkish Capitol to be Invest
ed. Bulgarian Army Twelve Miles
Away.
New York. Oct. ~. 1912.

New York, Oct. ~, 1912.
Cable advices from the Balkan war
zone declare that a great battle is i'm
minent between the Bulgarian for
ces and the Turks at Adrianople.
During the past week various
engagements have occurred all along
the frontiers OF the allied little ma
tons. Montenegro was the first TO
declare war, and followed her declar-
alton up with immediate attacks upon
Turkish posts. Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece have followed suit and have
modified their armies so. that the
Turk finds himself confronted with
nearly half a million men all along
his European borders.
In various engagements many thou
sands have already lost their lives.
But In nearly every instance the al
lied forces have been victorious.
Reports are coming in of massa-
ores of Christians by the Moslem
Turks In various outlying, unprotect-
ed districts.
A turkish fleet in the Black Sea
is bombardlng Bulgarian coast towns.
Outside the Bosphorus the Greek
fleet Is getting ready to meet the
Turks.
The situation seems now TO have
passed beyond the stage where inter-
vention on the part Of the powers Is
possible, and It is likely that a decis-
i've victory will be won by one side or
the other within a few months. And
the way the allied forces are acquit-
ting themselves is creating a belief
that, though outnumbered. they may

HIGH SCHOOL OPENING

The opening exercises of the Coun-
ty High School at Waco occurred,
Tuesday. Good speakers were present
to explain the merits OF the new sys-
tenn in Madison County, and in the in
terests of advanced education in gen
eral.
There are four rooms in the Waco
school. 1t combines three districts and
thus makes it possible to give each
teacher fewer grades to teach and
enables them to do much better work.
With public conveyances provided tC

lying districts, as is done in many
states, this is a long step forward in

New Revolution in Mexico Seeks
to Return Diaz 10 Power
Movement Headed BY Former Presi-
ent's Nephew. Most Formidable
Outbreak Madero Has Had to Face.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. %, 1872.
During many months the situation
in Mexico has been precarious, and
every week IL was thought a crisis
was imminent But just as the rev.
clution headed by Orosco seemed to
be checked, a new impetus has been
given the instruction by the revolt
of Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the
exiled President.
The seat of the new disturbance
is the coast town of Vera Cruz. Gen
Diaz being in possession and having
been joined by detachments of fed
eral troops.
President Madero, encouraged by
the recent vote of confidence of the
Mexican Congress, is attempting 10
raise force of ten thousand men
to meet his adversaries, but the Goa
lition between Diaz and Gen. Zapeta,
who has three thousand men under
him and has kept up hostilities with
in a few miles of the Capitol for a
number of months, makes the situa-
ton serious.
While the United States cruiser,
Des Moines, has arrived at Vera Cruz
for the protection of American inter-
ests. which has brought a feeling Of
security to many Americans as well
as foreigners, 1t is announced ut
Washington that there will be no
change in our Governments policy
of non-intervention though Secretary
Knox has had frequent conferences
with Henry Lane Wilson our Am
bassador to Mexico.

Editor The Citizen,
Dear Sir:

gone out of business, as the read
crs of The Citizen might suppose.
but is just hidden away behind
these beautiful hills that are getting
their first autumn tints. To my mind
this is the most beautiful time of the
year-the air is so pure, the skies
are so blue, the moonlight is so bril-
liant, and the abundant harvests are
SO full of promise of plenty for the
long cold winter months.
Since our last letter, we have held
meetings in Manchester, Goose Rock
and Mud Lick, in each of which pla-
ces we were greeted with audiences
that seemed much interested in our
lectures on the school, farming, sani-
tation and health, temperance, travel,
and the Life of Christ. 1t is hard to
tell which creates the deeper impress
sion. = the pictures in the life of
Christ, the portrayal of the ravages
of tobacco. cigarettes, and liquor, or
the slides showing the cause Of dis
ease and how to prevent it.
1t is interesting to see how we all
draw back from the common drink
ing cup, when the law is explained
to us, and when we see pictures show
ing a little girl drinking after con-
sumptivo who has left thousands Of
disease germs upon the rim OF the
cup. And how we hate the flies when
we realize how dangerous they are!
1t is a pleasure TO preach to the
crowds of interested people, who n
come night after night, and we are
glad to say. that though we stay
only three days in a place, we leave
but few places without some converts.
There is fine schoolhouse here,
and the people have manifested much
interest in our lectures.
We are meeting a large number OF
former Berea students, and many who
will return to Berea at the first OF
the year. II is evident that Berea has
won the confidence of the people
in this part of the country. We ex-
pect the time soon to come when
sho will have to enlarge her ac-
for there are hosts
of splendid young people who are
certain to go there TO school.
This fact ought TO inspire the peo-
pie TO contribute to Kentucky Hall.
Very truly yours,

CEMETERY ASSOCIATION MEETS

The annual meeting of the Berea
Cemetery Association was held in
the Parish House, Tuesday evening,
Oct. 22nd. Several matters of interest
We're discussed and passed upon. Two
of the important measures adopted
were:
That necessary steps be taken 10
have the Association incorporated,
and that the members of the Associa-
ton solicit contributions to create a
permanent fund for the care of the
cemetery.
1t was the sentiment of the meeting
that this would appeal to owners Of
lots, and citizens of Berea who would
be interested in the care Of the
place that we hold sacred to the
memory of the dead.
The question of piping for water to
be carried to the cemetery. and hav-
ing a survey for new plot were dis
cussed and favorably considered, but
laid over for future consideration.
Officers of the Executive Com
mittee were elected for the ensuing
year as follows:
