Ste. Genvevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 4, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE St. Mary, July 21, 1883 The Methodist congregation have purchased the so-called PROST House for $200, and will renovate it in order to hold their services in it. The pastor, Rev. THOMAS, has held services theretofore in the Town Hall. Andrew WOLF has carried 2000 sacks of wheat from the Illinois side lately and feels elated at the success in his business. Wheat has not been damaged by the high water as much as was at first believed. One of our saloon keepers thinks that there was trickery in the refusal of the Court to grant his license for six months under the old law, as he was entitled to it. The harvest in Perry county must have proved a bountiful one by the number of steam threshers they buy over there, six of them having passed through St. Mary en route for Perry, within the last few days. Frank VOELKER was running a petition for opening or rather changing a county road from town over the St. Lawrence creek, from 3d to 2nd st. He was very successful in his undertaking, but, for his good intention and trouble some people rewarded him with hard words and insinuations. But Frank don't mind small people and small things and is going to present the petition before the next County Court. B.
