signed for navigating the Upper Arkansas.

one of the most handsome. comfortable and
light draft fast running steamers ever built.
We believe she will be boat of which the
Arkansas Merchants will be proud. 1t is de-
signed to run her between Little Rock and
the various landings above to Fort Gibson
thus ensuring delivering all freight for that
region. Mercantile business of any nature,
orders for goods. produce on commission, &C.
&c-'entrusted to any of these steamers, will
receive as good attention as if accompanied
by the parties interested.
"a Freight always as low as by any other
Transportation line. The patronage of the
