David Kincheloe.

1t is said that one of the greatest
horrors in a soldiers life is that his
name will be spelled wrong in the
dispatches that carry an account of
his death on the field of honor. If a
soldier feels that way about it when
the news won't concern him one way
or the other, how much more poig-
nant must be the feeling of real,
live one, and "a conner, to see his
name mis-spelled in the papers.
We are led to this preamble by a
notice in the Courier.J Journal that
Congressman.elect Dave Kinslow
would be the guest of local lodge
in the metropolis during the week.
Kinslow indeed. His name is
Kincheloe, just like his father, and
his grandfather, and his great-grand-
father. "Uncle Bob" his honored
father. was a member of the Ken
tucky Legislature during the long
session, and he was a good one, He
raised a son that will be heard from,
too. Dave kincheloe was a good
boy, and he grew up to be a good
man. He has rare gift of eloquence,
which has not overshadowed his gift
of grasping the questions of state by
hard study.
Kinslow indeed! Brainerd Platt
ought to talk some raw Irish to the
man that let that slip through. -
