Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, May 26, 1883 The river is falling very fast after having risen considerably during the recent rains. A severe hail-storm visited the South East of Mo. on Monday before last and caused great damage. Mr. Wm. KLEIN tells us that he owns a cow which brought him 8 head of cattle on 3 years and 2 months. Mr. BOYER sent a large barge of limestone up to St. Louis this week. It is said that the rock is used in the manufacture of marble dust, prized by soda-water men. The murder case "State vs GARNER," which was to have been tried at Perryville last week, was continued on motion of the State's Attorney. Ed. SEYSSLER has just received a choice lot of canned delicacies: Canned Corn Beef, Lunch tongue, Petted ham, &c, and he sells below cost price, also. John L. BOVERIE has just returned from St. Louis with a large and well assorted stock of goods, which are now ready for inspection. Give him a call. His motto is: Quick sales and small profits. A heavy No. 1 assortment of pocket knives, razors, and scissors of all kinds, &c. (below cost price again, and you don't forget it: if it is a lie.) ED. SEYSSLER We hear that a petition has been circulated since the last session of the Circuit Court advocationg the relaease of young ABERNATHY from the county jail. we can well spare him. We are under obligations to Mr. John VALLE of Union for a fine walking cane, deftly shapedout of a young hickory. John evidently thinks that hickories can be put to better use than to serve as hoops, and the article he manufactures gives evidence of the dexterity with which he wields the knife. Chas. A. HERTER vows that he won't be undersold, and he keeps his word; his prices are really astonishing. Mr. H.C. PATTERSON of Union township, this county, says that his wheat looks worse now than it did several weeks ago, that the fly and chinch bug are literally eating it up, and that he will be glad to make any crop at all. Mr. Chas. WEILER gives it as his opinion that the yield will be ore than half an average, and we have heard other express the same opinion. We would be thankful to receive short reports from our farmer friends as to the condition of the growing crops. Francis JOKERST, of the enterprising firm of ROZIER & JOKERST, will go to St. Louis to-morrow evening ti lay in an immense stock of General Merchandise. The above firm sells goods so fast that it keeps one of its buyers almost continually in St. Louis purchasing goods. The reason of this is that they undersell their competitors and laways have the best assortment to select from. Nick WIEBERG and Hy. PALMER saw a wolf in New Bremen. last week. Another man attempted to shoot him, but got so excited that he forgot how to pull the trigger. We are glad to learn that Judge GILBERT of St. Mary is very much better and is in a fair way to recover his health. This will be good news to his many friends in the county. The public is hereby notified that Mr. P.U. JACCARD, the jeweler, has recovered from his sickness and is ready to do any kind of work pertaining to his business at the most reasonable rates. Give him a call. Frank WIGGERY, who formerly ran the saw mill on Moro's Island, intends, as we learn, to start another sawmill, this time, however, not on an island, but on a flat boat, so as to be able to touch the shore at any desirable point - a floating sawmill. This is certainly an improvement on the old method of erecting sawmills anywhere in the woods and abandoning it as soon as the country around is disforested, and is a free and easy, go-as-you-please style of doing business; the saw dust won't bother Frank much and, besides, all his earthly possessions will be with him, as long as he chooses to stay on the flat-boat.
