Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Geneveive, Mo. Saturday, July 14, 1883 I have been reappointed to the office of Notary Public for the next four years and all those desiring notary business, will do well by calling at my office for the same. A.C. HERTICH We saw the first black-berries of this season this week and, if the dogs don't tear the boys, we'll soon see plenty of them, though we'll also see plenty of torn breeches; the brambles will take care of that. For replanting in the Big Field, corn should be selected for it's quick growth. It is impossible to raise much of a crop but by planting a quick-growing variety, some corn might yet be raised, if the season is favorable. Our Pros. Atty. says that all saloon licenses under the old law expired when the new law took effect. The Auditor of the State says they are good until they expire. It is now in order for out gifted Pros. Atty. to demolish the Auditor. Does our contempoary know that somebody violates the law every time he hires a horse from the livery stable to take his girl out buggy riding on Sunday? Why don't he enforce the law as Pros. Atty. or does he lay his conscience advice on that day? (NOTE: See 14 July 1883/Misc V for explanation - sjr) The new Post Master General has decided that post-masters who fail to notify publishers when subscribers remove or fail to take papers from the post-office shall be responsible for the subscription. The post-office department is right. The post-master is furnished gratuitously with blanks for this purpose by thei general government, and his failure to comply with the law, generally through carelessness, should be punished. -- Intelligencer. Resolved, That the members of this association continue to keep open their places of business on Sunday until requested to close by the authorities. Resolved, That if the Sunday-closing law is enforced, we shall abide by it, but shall insist that it be carried out to the letter; if it is applied exclusively to saloon keepers, we shall organize to enforce the full law, and use every means in our power to see that it is enforced in every particular. The above are some of the resolution passed by the saloon-keepers of St. Louis. There will be lively times if they are carried out. (NOTE: See 14 July 1883/Misc V for explanation - sjr) Sabbatarianism is a sickness; it is a mania. Sabbatarians think that Sunday amusements are injurious to the morals and ought to be restrained, but who will deny that there is an instinct of amusement in everybody and that this instinct is a natural and healthy one, that it makes light and pleasant the lives of many, who, during six days of the week, know nothing but toil and suffering. Moreover, it is the business of nobody but those who wish to amuse themselves, and an attempt to restrain it is nothing less than a remnant of the dark ages. STRAYED: On July 4th, from the Lime Kiln Farm, a cow, white, with both ears and neck red, a little red on three legs; gives milk from only three teats, the right hind one being dry; no other mark. A reward of $5 will be paid for the recovery of the same. Henry BENKER Most of the farmers have finished their harvests; as far as the cutting of the grain is concerned. We hear from different parties that the ears are by no means as full as was first believed. Mr. A. BAECHLE tells us he has not a single ear complete. The quality of the grain is also said to be inferior. Nelson HOWARD, a negro, who murdered one John KANE, a passenger on the Wabash train, on the 4th of July, was lynched at Mound City, Ill., July 6.
