    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Dec. 2, 1882 William PALMER pays the highest market price for produce of all kinds, in exchange or cash. Mr. JAEGER of the Perryville Mills is said to have been attacked by footpads on his way to St. Mary and robbed of $700. Thanksgiving was rather meager in town; the turkeys must have got wind of the proclamation, they kept so close: hardly a cock to be seen. What one reads in the St. Louis papers after that Thanksgiving delicacies: turkeys by the ton, forests of celery, barrels of cranberries, rabbits by the gross and possums in plenty, at Union Market -- makes a fellow's mouth water. Large quantities of copper ore are constantly being received from Globe, Arizona, by the Harris Copper Co., at this place, where it is refined. Bert VALLEE, son of Frank VALLEE, Esq., who lives near Avoca, this county, met with a rather serious accident on the evening of the 20th inst. It seems he was out hunting, and becoming tired sat down by the side of the road, placing his gun between his legs, the muzzle being near his face. By some means one barrel of the gun was discharged, two buckshot striking him in the forehead and passing under the skin. We are glad to state that the injury was not serious. -- Watchman Augustus PHARLEY, residing in Ste. Genevieve county just across the county line, about seven miles from Cedar Fork church, one day last week, while on his way home from St. Mary, fractured his leg in two places. Our information concerning the accident runs about this: Mr. PHARLEY was riding in a wagon, while two other parties were running a race in the road, which was watched by PHARLEY, when he accidently fell out of the wagon, and received the injuried.
