    3. Ste. Genvevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 4, 1883 A lucky party was the one that passed over MAXWELL's Hill last Sunday afternoon and found a keg of lager with the faucet and glasses all handy. How so many kegs of beer manage to get lost on Sundays since the enforcement of the law is hard to understand; but the fact cannot be denied that there is about as much beer drunk now as before. The able gentleman with the puritanic leanings can be the unwilling cause of the closing of saloons, but he cannot stop the drinking. The Hudson took in 958 barrels of flour and 250 sacks of wheat at this place last Monday. The boat was rather heavily freighted, so much so that the lower deck was but 8 inches above the water and the waves would occassionally wash in. Those indebted to C.S. HERTICH or HERTICH & SON are requested to make settlement of their notes or accounts. We are closing our books, having dissolved partnership and expect to enforce the collection of accounts by law if not settled otherwise. HERTICH & SON. Pursuant to call, some of the owners of the Big Field land and others interested in protecting the bottom from overflow met at the Court House last Saturday afternoon. The motion of Mr. KRUSE for erecting a levee not having been received with favor by several of the members, the committee did not report according to instructions, and nothing of importance could be done. The meeting adjourned until Aug. 11, 1883. Wm. B. SKEWES, President. John and Wm. LINDERER and Jos. ROTH, who are charged with an assault to kill, made upon F.C. FALLERT on Sunday before last, appeared before Squire ROY last Saturday and were bound over to be tried at the next regular session of the Circuit Court. (NOTE: 28 July 1883/Herald/Misc II - Last Sunday, when Frank FALLER of the German Settlement was going home from a visit, he met, in a lane near Christ. JENNE's place, a number of young men - we could not learn the names - one of whom stopped his horse while the others assaulted him and punished him rather severely. The report has it that the quarrel grew out of an old fued, and that there is a woman in the case. - sjr) Charley BURKS is engaged in training horses at the Brown Race Course, Dr. BYRNE's young thoroughbred being among the number of horses in training. We hope that Charley will have better luck with his horses than he had in his own race for office. Mr. EBBRECHT came down Thursday and having seen our little local about the dissolution of his connections with the SHEARLOCK Mills in our last, desires us to say that there was no misunderstanding whatever between himself and Mr. SHEARLOCK, he having severed the connection solely with a view fo going into the grain business on his own account. We gladly make the correction, as both gentlemen are known to us ans men highly esteemed by the community. TAKE NOTICE! Those who want suits made to order will please take notice that we are in receipt and have noted at incomparably low prices a large assortment of piece goods - over 40 different styles. If you come and examine our stock, you cannot fail to be pleased. ROZIER & JOKERST.
