Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Sept. 16, 1882 The New Bourbon public school opened Monday, Sept. 4th, W.J. BERRY, master, wieldiing the birch. There are said to be twenty-eight negroes in the Chester jail for disturbing the peace, and other offences. One of them stabbed a white man in Claryville. We hear that Capt. THOMPSON has arrived at Little Rock with his new ferry boat, and hope that he will do well, and that the investment may prove a permanent one. Valentine ROTTLER is the building man of Ste. Genevieve. No one has, in so short a time, put up so many and so fine structures as he. The ice-house, residence, and brewery are all commodious, roomy and substantial buildings, designed and reared by an architect who understands his business, of brickwork, and seemingly intended to last forever. The elegant residence, the spacious ice-house, and the imposing new brewery just completed, are not only an acquisition to the owner, but also an ornament to the town and a standing advertisement for the builder, John WHITLOCK. Thursday evening our officials locked up a woman who had partaken a little too freely of the spirituous cheer that barkeepers are wont to dispense in a liquid state, she apparently not caring much whether it was sodawater, beer, wine or whiskey. Old Bourbon undoubtedly preponderated, as she told the officers in the vernacular of the daughters of the Green Isle: "Be Jabers, I'm a good Dimocrat, sir." John COOK and Doc. DONAHUGH bet $5.00 a piece that week as to who could beat the other in catching fish, Geo. SEXAUER and Charles REHM being selected as umpires. The match was to come off last Saturday, and the parties proceeded to the scene of their contention after indulging freely in such cheer as came handy. Their spirits were excellent and did not miss the river but missed catching any fish.

I am thoroughly enjoying these articles from the Ste. Genevieve Herald. I even found my grandmother's name (Kate Basler) in the unclaimed mail. Thank you so much.
