know how, ] reckon | have MOI
trouble than any man in the Unite
States. exccptImy wife, dear woman
and it's all about this paper.
Now to man who Il rcadin
Bro. Bells editorial about me, i
the Georgetown Times, II sound
like he IS :making..a pretty goo
case. Bro. Bell amuses me an
makes me mad too. I found on
away years ago that he would &c
mad every time I poked any fun a
him, and whenever I want to 50.
something mean about any ncwspa
per stick IL on the Georgetown
Timcs, and I have never yet faile'
to stir him.
Anybody can run a newspape
like he is doing. All in the worl'
he has to do is to brug on the Dem
ocrats, and abuse the Republicans
and its a success every time.
But Bro. Bell makes a point tina
I am glad Of, as it gives me an OF
portunity to explain.
1t is that my paper recent,
shows that I have gotten from un
der the influence OF my wife, that
promised should read my PROC
sheets, and give it the gentlenes'
that hangs like a heavenly hale
around everything that a woman
like she il, does.
In the first place it proved mi
to be practicable for her to do so
for she is eight miles in the country
managing the farm to make some
thing to feed me and the children
in case The Blade don't pan Out
any good for us, and sometimes !
have to write in town.
But that is not all Brother Bell
the finest Christian women in Fay
cite county begged her to turn me
loose and let me run it my own
way, for they said we were leaving
all the seasoning out OF it, and |
could see plainly that these rascal
ly papers in this town were all in
caho0t to do the inoccuous desue-
tude act on me, and leave the i'm.
preston that got scared and had
to haul in my horns; and at that
rate in three months The Blade
would have gotten down to the
level of these papers here. But il
Bro. Bell wants to try little
experiment l will send him down
a dozen copies OF The Bluegrass
Blade as a present, and he may
send u boy out with them and the
Georgetown Times and see which
sell faster.
know thai l am right, and
that Bro. Bell, and every Demo-
cratic newspaper in the State, is
wrong, and they know it just as
well as / do.
There is hardly a Christian
woman in the city Of Lexington,
that is not for me; and Mrs. Sam
Clay, the President ofthe Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, as
bright as a bran new dollar, and
who ought to be the Superinten-
dent of the City Schools, instead Of
Cassidy, told me the other day,
with tears and smiles in her eyes
at the same time, Of the singular
way she got the money to pay for
The Blade, and how she had told
her children that she knew the
Lord was going to arrange it some
how.
There's not a lady around at this
Institution on Market street, that
finds hc'Nes for the poor, that is not
friend OF yhe Blade, and the Sis
ter Superior, osSt. Joseph's. Hos
pital, gives me " cordial shake
hands and kindly words, and If 1
have friend among tie women of
Lexington, it is Mrs. White, the
most jealous worker in the Catholic
Church. And yet all If them
know that l don't believe much
more in Catholicism than | do in
MOhamed.
Ifyou will read Carlisle you will
find that he was a nice man, and
the boss of all the PrOhibitiOnists
that ever lived or died.
Besides this, a woman from an
unmentionable house in this city
writes me letter Of thanks for nv
crusade against the liquor infamy
that she says took her where she
is.
Brother Bell, serve notice on
you that neither you nor the whole
Democratic party can down the
W. c. L. u, if there's a God in
Heaven, or justice on the earth; and
your injured innOcense racket does
not fool me worth u cent, nor
single one ofthe Prohibitionists of
Scott county, to whom you appeal,
when you do the baby act.
Yoa aud every editor in Lex
ington know you are wrong and
are violating your consciences every
day and night of your lives that
you live, but you are too conceited
to admit that you are wrong, and
you don't want to jeopardlse a sue.
