we tako the following from the last issue OF
The Arizona Kicker:
A New DEPARTURE. week we shall
begin the publication Of an agricultural
department In the Kicker, thus making a
years subscription ton times as valuable as
at present, without increasing the cost to
subscribers. We have made arrangements
with tenderfoot who struck the town with
out a cent 10 take charge Of the new depart
ment. He IS q sailor by trade, and We now
have him out IN the country learning the diff
ference between coyote and a Hubbard
squash. He may make few blunders on
the go-on. as he sticks TO It that potatoes
ought to grow on trees, and that wheat grows
wrong end to. but he is a hummer and win
get there by and by Remember, this DEPART
ment does not increase the subscription
price at all We are simply trying to publish
paper worth 500 year for 81.
NOT DISAPPOINTED common council
has awarded the city printing to tho Weekly
Tom Cat, as was expected, and that dsh-rag
of sheet IS giving us the grand crow. We
are not disappointed. We put In the lowest
bid, and we have the largest circulation, but
the alderman owed us one. The Kicker has
recorded and exposed them as forgers, thieves
and gamblers, and they do not think Of us
with unkindness. And too, they are under
lasting obligations TO tho raw-boned, knock
kneed, cross-eyed, bow-backed old hyena who
runs the opposition paper. Had he not been
member Of the last grand jury, every
mothers son OF EN- would have gone to
prison.
We have no tears 70 shed, gentlemen. You
arc on top Just now, but wait a few weeks.
We are working up your pedigrees, and Billy
Pinkerton Is coming this way IN October
LET HIM co.. X. z. Hopkins, Familiarity
known 10 our citizens as "The Young Crow
bar Of the Rockies called at the Office yes
terday and stopped his paper, because, as he
explained, 1T had no literary merit" We
arc glad to DO rid OF him. He hasn't got
brains enough to appreciate q good thing
1 when IL is held under his nose. No literary
merit Great Scots, but how some people
are built We have been looking over the
last three numbers, and we find that they
average three murders, two hangings, i've
robberies, two Opponents and two ship
! wrecks ench, and the testimonials of those
who have been cured Of consumption, govt
and rheumatism are not slow reading by any
means. While we are glad to see Mr.. Hop
ldns go, we shall keep an eye on his future
movements. II he has escaped from some

dozen pickles. Also, TO Maj. Hayes for two

our friends vie with each other In loading our
table with delicaces. We pity the man with

p. S.-subscribers win please excuse the
looks Of the Kicker this week. The two
pounds of butter mentioned above got mixed
with our ink by accident, causing the latter
TO run 10 freely. We have added some pull
verified clay 10 the lot, and expect the ink to
