Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 24, 1883 We are under obligation to Mr. J.L.C. LECOMPTE, Superintendent of the Cone Mills, for a quarter of flour than which there has never been any better in the hands of our thrifty housewife, who never praises anything unnecessarily but pronounces this really excellent. The flour was turned out by the new machinery which was started on its regular work last Monday. We hope to see some of our truant farmers, who have of late been in the habit of carrying their wheat to other places, come back here: there is nothing like helping your neighbor. We have frequently been asked of late, whether our Hon. Mayor C.C. ROZIER, was a candidate for reelection at the coming city election. We are glad to state that Mr. ROZIER has consented to be a candidate for the office, and, as he has made us a good mayor, and the citizens of Ste. Genevieve respect and honor him as a man who will do the right thing whenever it can be done, we hope that he will be reelected by a large vote. The old boat, formerly belonging to Mr. MOLL, deceased, now the property of Joseph WEILER, had a narrow escape last Monday morning. There being but a stove pipe to duty for a chimney, the roof caught fire and, if it hadn't been for the timely arrival of Louis DELL and other teamsters, hauling goods from the landing, the old gunsmith's shop, would have been a heap of ashes. There was plenty of water near, and the men subdued the fire in a short time. GRAND EASTER LUNCH Mrs. Josephine BOTZ gives notice to all her friends and acquaintances that she will, on Monday, March 26, 1883 serve a grand lunch, to commence at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Music will be furnished by the Brass Band: first class drinks, cigars, &c. are a matter of course. The well known acquirements and the fine taste of Mrs. BOTZ in culinary matters is a guarantee that the lunch will be a success; as it ought to be. A good story is told on our friend WOLF of St. Mary. Some years ago he went over to Randolph county, Ill., and, as the friend he visited, Hy. GILLENBERG, was, at the time, busy in the harvest field, John went forth to take a look at the proceedings. Some of Mr. GILLENBERG's little ones, who as John says, very much resemble a row of organ pipes when drawn up in ranks, asked their pa who the man was, that spole so friendly to them. When they were told that it was Mr. WOLF, they started for home in a great hurry to secure a little pet lamb with which they had been playing, fearing the wolf might take it, and not resting until they had it safely housed. NOTICE All those who are indebted to me are requested to pay the several sums due me at the office of the "Ste. Genevieve Herald." Fabian GRIESHABER Old Mr. John BOYD of Saline Tshp. was very near being burned out of house and home last Sunday. Somebody must have made a fire in the woods near his place - whether accidently or willfully, has not been ascertained - and, the wind blowing rather stiffly towards Mr. BOYD's place, the fire soon spread in that direction, seized the fences and was rapidly advancing towards the buildings, when the timely appearance of three young men, Messrs. COUNTS, upon the scene, prevented further mischief. Mr. and Mrs. BOYD being absent from home, the three young men did all in their power to stop the progress of the fire, in which they were assisted by Mr. Boyd after his return, being obliged to chop down blazing trees and heroically working until a late hour in the evening. Some of the neighbors were not so lucky; for the fire fiend found his way to the CAMDEN place where the destructive element consumed the buildings and everything that was combustible. A good deal of fence that belonged to Mrs. FRAZER was also consumed.
