THE MARY AMExr-The work upon this beau.
tiful new steamer of Capt. Liter is being pushed
rwatd vigorously, Notwithstanding the I'm favor
able weather. She will be completed In about
three weeks, and, when finished, will be one Of
the neatest, we'll 8 of the aeetest boats Of
her class on the Lower Ohio. She would make
splendid boat for the Green River or Louisville
aud Eva sTille trade, In one the other Of which
Capt. Liter will place her. The Louisville and
New Albany merchants should take the necessary
steps to induce Capt. Liter, If possible. to place
her IN tn Louisville. Albany and Green Riv-
er trade. Evansville ID AZ present enjoying mo-
nopoly CT this trade. The reason is that thu
business men Of that enterprising city have guar
enteed that the boats plying in that trade to and
from their city, shall make good living profit.
Such guarantees should be given Capt. Liter
who could probably influence more trade from
that direction than any other man. his boat will
have very superior cabin accommodations, and
will be furnished in first class style throughout.
There you go sgain, Charley You are fanny
fsllow. Why's bless your soul, my venerable,
didn't Louisville and New Albsny try packet
in the trade between those villages and Bowling
Green via Green River, and although they run
her according to Hoyle, and guaranteed and all
that thing, grew silk Of the constant drain on
their purses and the Hoyle went South. But you
are wrong again, Charley. Capt. Drinkwat has
no guarantees. He runs on nis own account and
takes the chances, bat having good boat bearing
q talismanio name, and has Abe confidence fthe
people, Capt. Liter Is too smart, understands the
situation too we'll to take the desperate venture Of
attempting to build mp q trade between Louisville,
New Albany and Green River, even with guaranty
spoken Of.
