The editor of the Blue Grass
Blade needs and wants a mailing
machine. 1t will cost $4,000.
He feels able to give $1,000 him
self.
The readers of the Blade must,
and will, give the other $4,000
Now reader 1 mean you. Let
every man and woman who reads
this issue Of the Blade write a
postal to the Blade and say what
they will give, provided the $50

the BBl laddee and ought TO give
something.
Ifyou can not give $1.OO give
so cents. If you can't give SO
cents give % cents. If you can't
give rs cents give 5 cents. Now
that comes within the reach of all.
Every man who is ON the poor
mans list, and is receiving the
Blade at half price can and must
give to this fund. Every man and
woman who is paying full price

any reader is too poor to give any
thing, not even five cents, he
needs help. Let him say SO
through the Blade and l will
start subscription to help him.
Reader, if you are not that
needy and don't give something,
you do not appreciate the Blade
you don't realize the sacrifice that
its editor is making in publishing

give.
Now let's all help to buy this

drawer, holder, more fearless
combatant of the liquor traffic
than C. c. Moore?

the last. Let's hold up his hands
let's encourage him, let's keel
him on the battle field. He know
how to fight. Let's furnish hin

This letter was written Dec. 6,

me a christmas gift" of the

50 many ahead of it.
But there's one peculiarly
about me. / would just as soon
have a Christmas gift in January,
or even in February, as in Deem
her. Most of the Christmas gifts

along about the heel of the Spring

$l.O0, and somebody else said he
would give a half dollar. Thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars
have been given to the New York
Voice and there are thousands OF
people who would rather have the
Blade than two of the Voice.
Prof. X. de Roode of Lexington
is the only Observation-Disclosures
living in Lexington. He is not
a Prohibitionist and does not be
lieve in Prohibition. He would
not read the New York Voice il
you should give it to him, and
hand it to him on a silver waiter.
He would not read it like 1 do for
S100.00a year. Itake two Voices.
Prof. de Roode says l ought to
charge S. 90 a year for the Blade.
He paid me in advance fyr the
Blade for FIVE years, $1,000.
Chances are that / will be in
heaven with Haddock and Gam
brell before half his time is out.
If the people of Kentucky fur
nish me one-fouith as much money
as they have to the New York
Voice, | will carry Lexington for
Prohibition in two years, and
drive every saloon out of the
town, and every saloon keeper and
drunkard out of its city council
and offices. l have got them on
the hip day, and the Transcript,
the Democratic Presbyterian sa-
loon organ, shows its appreciation
of the fact by its editorials. Lex
ington, the head of the whisky
influence of the world, is the head
of the whisky snake. The Bible
says "bruise its head"
The man who captures Licking
ton. for Prohibition, will break the
backbone of the whole liquor dam
nation. When Lexington sur
renders the whole state will hoist
the white flag, and strike its colors
to Prohibition. When Kentucky
gives in, we can march right to
Washington, aud Mother Stewart,
without a corporals guard. can
raise the cold water flag on the
dome of the capitol.
l have means enough to sup
port my family without a cent
profit from the Bla de, but 1 have
not enough while keeping my
children at expensive schools, to
be able to lose money on the
Blade.
l need a mailing machine and
must have it. It's a 'grouud hog
I am going to buy it, if it
comes out of my pocket. l am
responsible for $4,000 a year to
the State Prohibition Executive
Committee, and / am keeping it
paid up. This is the third winter
| have worn a five dollar overcoat.
| have bought only one pair of five
dollar breeches this year, and that's
all the clothes I am going to buy.
That's the kind of hair pin l am.
Hundreds of rich people-includ-
ing Prohibitionists--read mp pa
per and do not pay me a cent for
it. They are going to the devil of
course, but I have to wait until
judgment day to get even with
them. l am going to send their
receipts to them in hell, made out
on asbestos.
Bro. Meals joining with me in
the business management of the
Blade, does not add any money to
the concern. He is as poor as
Jobs turkey. He had to lean up
against the fence to gobble.
If you don't want to help me
with the mailing machine, send
me 81. 90 for the Irrational View"
and you will find out something
about the Bible that the preachers
wont tell you. They don't know,
and would not tell you if they did
know.
But ifyou don't do either, the
Blade will get there, all the
