Dear Vindicator

ancy I write again
From Fulton I went to Clinton
There Rev J B Gooch evangelist for
tho first district had appointments for
Monday and Tuesday nights June J 10

Prof Tales lecture was a rare treat
and showed him a master I in his line

saloon and brought strongly before
the minds of His hearers the depth of
the mystery us to how men 11111 sup

On Tuesday night Rev Gooch filled
Ills appointment and in a forcible
manner showed the Infamy and the
growth of the drink truth t r and gave
clearly the remedy for the evil
These lectures will doubtless do
good though this Is a hard territory to
win for national prohibition as all
this Purchase country htw had Iron 1
bltion by local option for somv twenty
live years except the cities of Paducah
Fulton and Wlckllffe and the law Is
fairly I well enforced tigers rarely
ever getting a foothold Still there is
considerable dissipation the bootleg
ger being not unknown But the most
frequent source of conviviality Is the
openings These are liberally patron
ized by the young men often minors
who club in together and order by the
gallon whisky by express or beer by
the keg which Is taken to a place ap
pointed a quiet grove perhaps where
they hold high carnival and become
drunkards Hence many good men are
coming to see that the only salvation
for tho country depend on the idea
of party prohibition
After Clinton I I came to Bardwell
from which place I am now writing
Mere on last Saturday I attended the
county t prohibition Convention pro
ceedings of which It 1 fc sent you The
ticket t put out Is an excellent ono and
will no doubt win many votes to our
party
partyI
I learn Wlckllffe has formtd a strong
prohibition club and raised moans ior
an active and protracted warfare
against the saloon both local and nn
tional As 1 go there next I hope to be
able to give you more definite Informa
tion later on Long live the Vindica
