    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 24, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE St. Mary, March 20, 1883 "Our Mutual Friend," Tony TRAUTMAN, was presented, by his better half, on last Sunday, with a fine little prince. Tony says the little fellow is almost big enough to 'tend bar for him. Andrew WOLF was euchred out of his ferry business the other day, in a clever, but to him, not very pleasant manner. He had neglected to procure a license on the Illinois side, and Vincent BEEN took advantage of this slight circumstance, by taking out a license for a ferry at Chester. As the authorities at Chester grant but one license for that particular business, friend Andrew can do nothing but "hang up the paddle and oar" and go for "other fields" &c. The election for school directors and city fathers approaching, and I hope we will again be able to place into office good, reliable men, who understand the business for which they are chosen. Rumor has it that John WOLF, our energetic shoemaker, is a candidate for town trustee, and I think that John is well fitted for the position; a shoemaker may certainly have as much sense as a tailor, and I am sure, we have a tailor in our County Court.
