He will now do good business in the way of grinding and sawing. One day last week George BOWELS, Gas. BURGAN and Charlie PRICE killed sixty-eight squirrels. How is that for one day's hunt? Simeon STEWART, one night last week, got up in his sleep and walked out. He fell from the porch and broke his collarbone. Wm. WILSON is about through assessing Meramec township. He says, there are more people living in Meramec than he thought there were. We had a wedding in our neighborhood last Wednesday. Abraham CROMWELL and Miss Katie KIDD were married Father STEPEHNS officiating. September 8, 1883. WEDNESDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 1883 Henry SEEMEL's daughter, Anna, is very sick. Mr. WELCH of Danison, Texas, paid his brother at this place a visit this week. 'Squire HONEY is able to be around a little, and will be ready for business soon. E. SCHLAFFKE of HORINE threshed this season 15,000 bushels of wheat and 2,000 of oats. Mr. VOLLMAR will have fresh fish every Thursday. If you want some, leave your orders with him. We learn that there is a new arrival at neighbor MOUNTEL's. We do not know the sex of the little stianger(?). A new post office has been established at Limitville and is called "Festus," with S.T. WAGGENER as postmaster. Subscribers who wish their papers directed to Festus will please notify us. Joel BOOTH, W.T. HENSLEY and William MORRIS got back from Dakota this week, the first on a 6-weeks visit, the other two to remain all winter. Joel reports all the Missouri folks in good health and making a living, and with fair prospect for a good thing in the near future. Several of them will, probably, be back here before winter. There were, doubtless several omissions in our published report of premiums awarded at the county fair. We are ready and anxious to correct all mistaken when brought to our notice. The sweepstakes premium awarded to W.G.MANION's bull, and County court premium for best stallion to J.H. KETTLEMANN's horse. W.L. REID received the sweepstakes for the best brood mare, and H.F. HAGEN, instead of John TULLOCK, took the premium on corn. 'Squire McFARLAND has been at his old business again. On the 13th inst., at the residence of Mrs. TRIMBLE, mother of the bride, he married Henry LEUTZINGER to Miss Sarah R. TRIMBLE, and on the same day, at his office, he married Oliver HUNET to Miss Mary HINKLEY. The'Squire, in a private note to us, says he married five couples in twenty-nine days and expects two more before acorns fall. He is teaching school now, besides taking care of his farm and stock. The only thing troubling him at present is a couple of those hound pups, which he still has to give away. We hope the 'Squire won't get too proud over his prosperity to recognize old friends when he meets them. The fatman visited Pevely one day of this week, and says that JEUDE & GREVE have one of the best regulated country stores he ever saw, and that they will sell as cheap, if not lower, than any house south of St. Louis. He also noted down the following news items: About three weeks ago a wagon containing six persons, while crossing the railroad, was turned over, seriously hurting two of the occupants. Mr. Joshua HERRINGTON, aged 83 years, broke his collar bone, and Mrs. Mathis VALENTINE fractured a leg. Both are doing as well as could be expected... Mr. ENGLEBACH has erected a neat little house, the skeleton of a ram's head and a pair of horns from a Texas steer denoting that it is used as a meatmarket. DE SOTO DOINGS - Miss Lotty EVANS and Mr.Charles PRATTE were quietly married, on the 5th inst., and when the guests assembled at Mrs. EVANS' residence on the 10th inst., they were surprised to learn that they wee five days late for the wedding. A fine supper and good music soon got the company in a good humor, and a pleasant evening was spent.
