Ste. Genvevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 4, 1883 ITEMS FROM WILLOW POND Mrs. Jos. GLASER has presented her husband with a bouncing boy. Mr. Ed. LANG's family received a welcome increase by the arrival at his residence of a fine little girl. Mrs. HOOVER of Bloomsdale, who was referred to in the Herald some time ago as having been hooked by a cow, has recovered so far as to be able to be out of bed and stir around. I an sorry that news in this neighborhood are so scarce and the inconvenience of reaching our post office is so great, that I can write only at great intervals. However, I shall try to write as often and make my communications as interesting as possible. I send you some money, including my subscription in advance in order to secure the American Farmer advertised as the premium in your late issues. Please send us some copies out here so that people can see what it is. I have also been asked whether I would collect this advance subscription and whether such subscribers would get the Farmer. Let me know at an early day and inform me if contents were all right. B. --- The contents were all right. Those who pay for the Herald in advance one year from the date of payment will receive the Farmer as promised. We are unable to send you copies as we have not yet received any.
