The Western mail brings us news oil
the dccease Of the Hon. DAVID rRIaBLE,
OF Kentucky, who departed this life on
the 18th day Of last month, aged about GO
years, leaving behind him many connex
ions, besides an extensive circle Of friends,
to lament lis death. And well they may;
for he was emphatically inst man, a
true patriot, faithful friend, and an az.
fecliona,e relative. in whose bosom the
love Of country burned with as pure a
flame as in that Of any living man.
Mr.. Trimble was a native Of the State
Of Virginia, descended from English and
Irish ancestors; was educated at William
and Mary College, and, after graduating,
studied law. When but Of age, he re-
moved TO and settled in Kentucky.
In the war Of 1912 he took an active
part, serving two campaigns with Gen.
Harrison, and at the siege of Fort Meigs
rendered important services.
From the 4ih of March, 1917, he was
in Congress without interruption till the
4th Of March, 1927, and his fidelity TO
his principles and devotion to his public
duties viii be. attested by all his surviving
associates and contemporaries.
From the time of his retirement from
Congress until his death he was actively
engaged in the pursuits Of agriculture and
in the iron manufacture, TO which latter
interest he devoted all his energies, de-
yeloping largely the resources Of The State
in that branch Of industry; to which, in
truth, it may be said be fell sacrifice.
