Its Public-Spirited Editor Makes Gono
New Departures.
CONE AND SEE Us.-We beg to nm
nounco to the public that we have
established u grocery IN connection
with the Kicker Office. We have run n
partition across our shanty md stocked
tho front end with groceries, and here
after tho two will be ono and insepara-
bic. While wo blandly acknowledge
that this is not n literary move calcu-
lated to raise tho public hair on end. wo
call your attention to the fact that we
shall sell six dozen clothcspins for NJ
teen cents, and seven bars of soap for
n quarter. A customer who wants Now
Orleans molnssos mt wholesale or retail
will find us behind tho counter smiling
and affablc. The citizen who wants TO
subscribe for the Kicker will find us in
tho back room willing to pocket his 81
FoR SALE.-Tho editor OF this paper
has S400 worth Of shares in tho Spotted
Bull Silver Mining Company which ho
will sell cheap for cash or trade for nm
Atwood undershirt. These shares
wcro presented us with tho understand
ing that we should help rope il Eastern
suckers. Either the rope is out OF or
der or suckers are scarce. The stock
has gone down to two cents on the dol
lnr, and wo propose to unload before
another assessment is nude. We said
nm nll-wool undcrshirt, but wo are not
going to be too particular about it. y
It's half cotton, minus the buttons or
flaps, or is ripped up tho back, we shall
probably mako tho exchange. Don't
hesitate because you may have been
tod that we arc proud and naughty.
We know when 10 come down Off tho
top rail.
a CONVICTED IIAR..-Thc wcb-foo,cd,
k~nock-knecd hycna who edits the litnr-
ary cattlo drive across tho Street
charges ua With trying to log 1t oycr
this community because we have occa-
sionally appeared iu n white shirt and
fifty-cent suspenders. Those who know
us best know how humble and lowly
VIC feel, even when having the only pa
per collar in the crowd which has not
been turned and sand-papcred. Wo
shall occasionally put on n white shirt
mt to humiliate o,Ir fcllow-citizens
or boost ourselves above the herd, but
in order to connect us temporarily with
outs do civilization. Now md then wo
shall replace the horsc-liide strap
around our waist with the ~suspenders
spoken OF, but it will not be in any
spirit OF self-aggrandizement, such as
might justly call for mob violence and
the destruction of our Office. AS for
tho old gravc-robber opposite. we have
already located him for an Ohio sheriff,
who Is expected along daily to take him
away.
Do Nor FoRGET.- We trust that mono
OF our friends will forget tho fact that
we still continue to board ourselves and
cook Il meals on tho Office stove.
Contributions OF vegetables, game,
bread. eggs and whatever is eatable,
are always thankfully received and fol-
lowed by II free puff for tho contribn.

AFoLoGETICALIY.-In the haste OF
getting to press last week VIC did u
worthy citizen injustice in the item
about II shooting ARRAY on Jackass Hill.
We stated hat Cinnamon Tom WINS the
man who killed old Rutgcr, and that ID
would be n great moral lesson TO him
to draw him up to q limb and fire about
fifty bullets into his carcass. We now
take pleasure in announcing that c..
Tom was not the guilty party. He did
not evcn draw on tho old mnn. At
the time tho Inter threw up his hands
and exclaimed: Boys! Pm downed.
See that my grave is kept grccnP'Tom
was further down the hill, chewing
away mt Colonel Sockets left car, and
having all hc could do TO hold It. Tho
Q nsurablc party is Wildercat Joe, who
left town that same evening for n purer
atmosphere. while Cinnamon Tom Is as
innocent MS n young gopher. We found
him behind the bar OF tho Red Front
saloon yesterday, genial us ever to all
comors, but injured in his finer feelings
by II hasty conclusion. We mako
this apology OF our own FREQ will. and
hope IL will ro-instato him In tho csteom
OF Il citizens.-DctroH Free Press.
