The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-04-14
All gentlemen attending this re-
ception will be expected
to wear a white shirt.

1.-THE inference was as plain as the PIN
nles on Mrs Judge Gildersleeves nose. They
thought we hadn't a white shirt. They
Thought we'd attend with an army blanket
thrown carelessly over our shoulders The
object was to let us know that Mrs. Judge
Gilderseeve didn't look upon us as knowing
what belonged to manners. 1t was all right
We didn't 90. AS to whether the Glider
sleeve ring came out ahead opinions differ.
Our account of the party, headed: Gather
ing of Vultures,' is still going the rounds of
the press In that article we proved Judge
Gildersleeve to be an embezzler and horse
thief, and we adduced positive evidence that
Mrs Judge was broken down and played
out fortune-teller who had been compelled
to skip from ST. Louis The Judge called at
the Kicker office next day with a shotgun,
but when we brought out more letters
proofs that he had served time in three
prisons, aud that Mrs. Judge still had the
workhouse cut on her hair when she arrived
in Arizona the Judge didn't shoot.
1.-The Jackass Hill set next tried to make
US sing small. They got mad because we
weren't putting them in every issue. Col.
Decker had two shillings' worth of repairs
made to his mule harness and the Kicker
didn't notice it. Mrs. Prof rockingham
turned an old silk dress top-to-bottom and
the Kicker didn't come to time with no.
tice that she had received another $500 dress
from Worth. Major Hornblower put a
porcelain door knob on the front door of

1t was therefore determined to down u.s.
Lily De Lisle, the red-headed daughter of
the one-legged County Clerk, made her

was on our tip that the Sheriff went up
about 10 o'clock that evening and gathered
in two bigamists from New England, an
embeZzler from Ohio and a fugitive from
Chicago, all of whom were looked upon as
the cream of society and were airing their
frills and scollops at the grand debut.
1--WE are here to stay. We put up our
own shanty with our own hands. We board
and lodge ourself, and we have not only got
the cost of living down so fine but are get
ting our white paper so cheap that we can
make money on a list of 30 subscribers and
three pages of dead ads. We are going to
run the Kicker after our own style, whether
it pleases the big-bugs on Jackass Hill or the
half-starved coyotes in Poverty Hollow.
While we don't banker after invitations to
euchre parties and church socialS, we don't
propose to take a snub from any set. While
we are willing to boom the town we don't

know that some citizen has added bathtub
to his dugout or that some merchant has
