The last number Of the lecture
course Monday evening, by James
Burns the mountaineer, was one 81
great interest. We had heard OF the
work done among the people, but he
was one of them and told of his life
in the mountains of Kentucky, al.
though part. OF it was spent In Vir-
GINA, where his father went in ord
err that his children might be brought
M away from the atmosphere OF
feuds. His great desire was to ut
himself for the return to that part
Of the state and do what he could
to break up custom which resulted
in the death Of many men every year.
AS they are generally started by young
boys, his idea was to est3blish "a
school and give these young people
some aim in life, which he did with
the result that he is now at the head
of Oneida college, kentucky. which
has 500 students and the feud menace
has been forever allayed in that part
of the country. The young people
are certainly to be congratulated and
should receive the thanks OF the en-
tire community for the splendid en-
tertainments they have given US.
