Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Aug. 18, 1883 Drive out your hogs. The marshal is ready to deal out copperas to those who cannot afford it. When you come to town, put up your teams at SCHILLI & WILDER The city marshal says he hears so many complaints about dogs barking at night and thereby disturbing the quiet slumbers of peaceful citizens. This may be so, but we will lay a wager that the duetto of two screaming peacocks is a great deal worse that a dog's bark. Monday morning the dwelling of the Catholic priest at St. Mary caught fire and created an excitement in our sister town. Some determined neighbors tore down a portion of the weather boarding and pouring buckets of water on the subject, soon quenched the flames. The fire is said to have been caused by a defective flue. The St. Louis dentists, CAMPBELL & FERGUSON, are crowded with work. They are very highly spoken of by their customers. Petitions for dram shop licenses at Bonne Terre presented to the County Court this week were all rejected. - Farmington Times We gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a find basket of grapes from the garden of Mr. John SCHMAHLE, Sr. The boys say they were the best they had this season. The streets and pavements of Ste. Genevieve are undergoing a general process of cleaning, up-rooting of weeds, etc. Let us liik trim by all means. Herman KASTNER, whileom barkeeper at the Champion sent a fine cane to L.D. THURMAN, our city marshal, as a tokenof rememberance. The cane is now doiing duty as a club. Our base-ball reporter says a game of ball was played last Sunday between the Softsnaps and the Eclipse, the former winning by a score of 13 to 2. This was the last of a series of 5 games, out of which the Eclipse won 3, and are consequently the champions. This speaks well for the Eclipse, as it is composed of boys, while the Softsnaps are experienced baseballists, and have played with St. Louis and other clubs. Thursday morning a vehicle carrying a party from SCHIRMAN's ball passed by Mr. PETERSON's residence, when one of the company spied a dog on the sidewalk and, probably thinking that the poor animal had no rights and his master no business to pay 75 cts. dog tax for him, he whipped out his shooting iron and fired away at Towser, hitting him in the leg. Leaving the right of any man to posess personal property altogether out of consideration, we would like to know why a young man going to a ball carries a revolver. John L. BOVERIE is jusr receiving a splendid assortment of dry goods, the grandest stock ever received in the city. Great novelties and great bargains. John's display is worth looking at, and he who looks will buy. No respectable tax-payer can have any serious objection to reasonable charges for keeping the city clean, and, if the Board of Health will make a thorough investigation they will find that pig pens are not the only nuisances.
