Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 13, 1883 HELP THE AFFLICTED The fearful calamity with which the population of different parts of Europe, but especially the Lower Rhine Valley, have been visited, the inundations having left tens of thousands of people without shelter and the necessaries of life, calls for speedy help. Germany has done her part nobly, the Emperor heading the list with 600,000 marks and other princes in proportion, but that is as a drop in the ocean. In many places in the United States, for instance St. Louis, subscription lists are being made up for the poor sufferers. We have therefore concluded to open a list for Ste. Genevieve, hoping that the well known generosity of old Ste. Genevieve will not be found wanting in this hour of great necessity. A list will be kept in the "HERALD" office and those who are willing to contribute their share towards alleviating the sufferings of the afflicted, may have their names enrolled and we will take care that the money so contributed will be placed into the hands of responsible parties of St. Louis or New York and speedily remitted to Europe.
