The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1888-12-21

Bill Mayes, dropped in MS the other
day 10 subscribe for copy OF the
Kicker To send To friend In Vermont,
and TO speak words OF cheer and en-
couragement in regard TO our enter
prise. Before he left he incidentally
served papers on us in libel suits as
follows;

All the above suits were the result
OF n few truthful paragraphs in n re-
cent issue. and while not exactly ex-
pected, are not unwclcome. We don't
think "A newspaper amounts 10 shucks
until IL has half n dozen libel suits on
the docket, and we don't believe that
any editor will get up and hump him
self until he realizes that he has got TO
raise two hundred thousand dollars in
cash inside OF ay year. Friends, Romans!
Come and see us.
ENPLANAToRY.-L week we add
vised our friends to give the cold
shoulder 10 n travelling theatrical COM
pany which advertised weeks en-
gagement at Root Hog or Die Hall and
after playing TO empty benches for two
nights, the company slid out OF town,
though not before the leading man. the
villain, the Juvenile, the first old
woman and Clara We're De We're, tho
heroine, had stoned the Kicker oflice and
dared us TO come forth In the still
night and be mangled 10 pulp. Let this
be warning 10 other theatrical com
panlcs No free tickets were left Mt
this Office in this case. In fact the
Kicker was coolly ignored. IL will be
wise i'm all others TO come and see us
at once. We want at least six dead
head tickets 10 front seats, aud in case
we don't get 'om the show is going to
prove bad financial failure. This
Office is the place TO get date Ines and
dodgers, and this paper Is the proper
medium 90 advertise in.
SOME SUGGESTIONS In the coming
county and city elections IL Is desira-
Bile that good. clean men be put in the
dcld as candidates. We have consid-
cradle spare time on our hands, and IL
nominated for and elected % the Office
OF county clerk we should hope To fiji
the place To the satisfaction OF the
public. We are satisfied that we would
also make n good mayor. We could
give that Office our attention for two
hours per day, and VIC believe We know
the needs OF the town and how 10 sat-
isfy them. IL we are .,ected register
OF deeds we promise hat tho Office
shall be mopped out ener~ Saturday.
and those who have business with us
will find us always in cheerful humor
II looks well TO sec n leading journal
ist holding positions OF trust and re-
spcct They invariably m.fsc the best
otIice-holders. We throw out these few
suggestions in all candor. and have no
doubt they will DO acted upon TO tho
best interests OF the party and the pub
lie. They either will be or the party
will hear something drop.
BOUND FOR THE GALLows. We at
tended church the other evening in
company with Hank Rifer's oldest girl,
Sarah. When tho contribution box
was passed we intended % chip in "a
quarter, but got hold Of "A dollar by ac-
cident. After the services We went %
Deacon Jaggers, who runs the box,
and requested seycnty-hvo cents re-
bate. He refused TO make 1t, saying
that the Lord never allowed discounts
or rebates. The deacon being this
sort OF man, the Kicker does not
hesitate TO record the fact that he
broke Jail at Akron, o., twelve years
ago, and Is stu wanted in that State
for bigamy. We have been keeping
still on him because We were trotting
Sarah about, and because the deacon
claimed that he was doing work for
the Lord in this locality. We have
given Sarah the shake, and We shall
now stand the deacon out 90 public
view in a way which will make him
anxious 20 move before Christmas. -
