The “Kicker” Man’s quarterly Review
of the Situation.
The last issue of the Arizona
Kicker contains the following:
“Another three months have pass
ed away, and those galoots who pre
dieted the demise ot the Kicker
weeks ago have been badly left. We
ars still here, and here we shall re
main, and years after the coyotsa
haTe licked tbe bones of our detrac
tors tbe Kicker will be a power in
the land.
“We don’t deny that it has been
up hill work with us to publish a pa
per here. Uur whole outfit didn’t in
ventory but $40 when we struck tbe
town, and we had been wearing the
same shirt for seven weeks without a
change, but the worst has passed.
This week we have been enabled, as
our readers will observe, to substitute
a poem for that time-worn electro
type of Lydia Pinkham, and a funny
sketch for that column block of Perrv
Davis’ Pain-Killer, and other great
improvements will follow from time
to time. If all goes well with us for
tbe next year we can throw out near
ly or *11 tbe dead ads ws are now
carrying, and zlyer’s Pills, St. Jacobs
Oil and Mustang Liniment will dwell
with us no more unless paid for.
“Our object in coming here was
to get a new start in hfo. We’ve
got it, and no thanks to any one.
We wouldn’t take $150 for our plant
tiday, and the hold we have obtained
on the affections of the people could
not be bought at any pii^e. We
don’t (ling on any scallops s» iar as
dress is concerned, and everybody
knows that we cook and sleep in our
office, but when we met the Govern
or of Dakota the other day he seemed
glad to shake hands with us. We
know we have been eritic : !ed for

our own clothes and doing our own

Learnint' of its owner, he telegraphed
him to L on hand on the return trip for
