Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, May 5, 1883 Every farmer says that the home made plows with patent handles, made at JENNY, ROESCH and LEHR's on Main street, are unsurpassed for durability and easy handling. Killian GRIESHABER says he has the finest field of wheat that ever gladdened the heart of a farmer, the Betten field at Rock Haven; but, he says, in preparing his ground for the seed, he plowed early and twice, and put the seed into the ground in good season. This is the secret of his success. We hear that the Probate Judges of Ste. Genevieve and Perryville, Messrs. W.H. BANTZ and Chas. A. WEBER, are two comrades in arms, as they both served in the same regiment, the 47th Mo. Infantry, commanded by Thos. C. FLETCHER, Mr. WEBER having been captain of the Perryville company. See the card of Harry BANTZ's mammoth agricultural depot on Main and Market. Mr. BANTZ keeps one of the finest assortments of agricultural machinery and implements in Southeast Mo., and is always ready to show his stock, explain the workings of the different parts composing a machine, and will treat you courteously whether you buy or not. Old Ste. Genevieve may be proud of her mechanics; they seem to be in great demand over in Ill., for whenever the people of Prairie DuRocher want to put up a house, as is the case at present, they request the services of our carpenter, Mr. J. WHITLOCK, and of our plasterers, J. BOYER and son. This speaks well for the proficiency of the gentlemen named in their respective trades. A large stock of full assortment of glasswear, porcelian and Japan chinaware just received and sold as low as the lowest at WILLIAM PALMER's Doors, Sash and Blinds, also Builder's Hardware; a full assortment. Call and get our prices. Mrs. J. FALK & Son Mr. John L. BOVERIE has had his store entirely overhauled and the arrangement perfected under the supervision of the new clerk, Mr. T. DUVAL, lends new charms to the pleasing impression created by the already well defined symmetry of the old arraingement. Great taste is displayed in the location of the different departments. It must be seen to be appreciated. A so-called insurance agent made his appearance at the Southern Sunday before last, made himself at home and generally agreeable, and staid until the succeeding Wednesday. After having been out once with one of Frank BABB's rigs, which he returned safe and paid for, he took another horse and buggy on Wednesday before last, in order to make, as he said, a trip out on the Fredericktown Road. As he was expected to stay out a couple of days, no anxiety was felt until Saturday when it was thought that he had absconded with the property. On Sunday Mr. BABB went to look for his horse and buggy (both valuable) and found that the man had gone straight down the river road, but lost all traces of him there. On Thursday, Mr. BABB went to Chester and there learned that the man had passed through that place on the very day when he had hired the rig. Nothing has been heard of him since. The thief also left an unsettled account at the Southern.
