Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 31, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE St. Mary, March 28, 1883 The question that engrosses the attention of all our citizens at present is whether the city council men now holding office will be likely to be reelected or not; and it is a question of great importance, as the welfare of our little community depends largely upon the wisdom and foresight of the city fathers. Let every voter take into serious consideration the question, who is the right man in the right place and then go and cast his vote according to his best judgement. A grand ball was given by the young folks of St. Mary at Difani's hall last Monday night, which was well attended by the people of St. Mary and vicinity. Messrs. Chas. KENNER and Andr. WOLF, acted as floor-managers and acquitted themselves splendidly, as was shown by the way the company enjoyed the fun until the late hour. Two young fellows, whose name I was unable to learn, got into an altercation near BIEHLE's store, Perry county, last Monday which resulted in a fight, in the course of which one of them drew a knife and cut the other so severely in the abdomen that he died a few minutes after. The two young men were respectively 16 and 18 years old. The murderer has not yet been apprehended. Mr. ROZIER intends to erect a large warehouse on the lot adjoining his store and Wm. HOFFMAN, who has heretofore used the little frame building for his saddler business has in consequence been obliged to move the shop to his old quarters in TOWNSEND's house. Several Gypsy vagabonds were in town this week, and as it is their proper business to tell the future to the poor, deluded mortals, they tried for several days to gull the St. Marians, but must have found this burg a barren field, for they left, disgusted at finding our citizens no ninnies, and moved down to Chester in search of "fresh fields and pastures green."
