The Interior Journal Established 1860 - 67th Year - No. 89 Stanford, Kentucky, Wednesday, August 25, 1926 REV. WALT HOLCOMB The Atlanta Georgian has the following to say of Rev. Walt Holcomb, who will begin a great meeting under the auspices of the Methodist church at the tobacco warehouse in Stanford, September 12th: An evangelist of note, Dr. Walt Holcomb naturally came into intimate touch with the late Rev. Samuel Jones, one of the most unique characters produced by the American platform. At the time of the death of Mr. Jones, and for many years prior to that event, Dr. Holcomb was associated with him in evangelistic work. Dr. Holcomb was the ?ographer of Jones and later married his youngest daughter. On his own merits Dr. Holcomb has risen to the front rank among evangelists of this country. One of the highest honors that has been paid him came two years ago and he was invited to make an evangelistic tour of Europe. He conducted campaigns in Bel???, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, in each country he conducted gospel meetings that were exceptionally successful. Particularly was ?? so in the case of Czzecho-Slovakia. In many instances the crowds ??? came to hear hi were so large that it was impossible to find an aud??rium with adequate seating capacity. Since he return from Europe, Dr. Holcomb has been constantly in demand and in different sections of America on account of the eagerness of so many people to hear the progress of Protestantism in Europe. It is a thrilling story and always arouses such interest. Dr. Holcomb friends are sometimes confused as to the proper manner of addressing him. They do no know whether to address him as Mister, Reverend, Doctor or Col. Besides having the degree of MD., he held a commission on the ?? of the last General Lulian D. ??rr, who prior to his death during the past year was reported in press dispatches to be a rival of General John J. Pershing for the affections ?? a certain Washington society Belle, But Dr. Holcomb does not ??? much for title and honor, and says that just plain "Walt" suits him best of all.
