of officers know better how to manage

project is on foot to revive the Evansville
and Mt. Vernon line, to wit: the sallie Y.
The proposition, as we understand II, is
to form joint stock company in shares of
500 each, and TO secure subscribers along
the river on both sides; also at 0lt. Vernon
and Evansville. The boat Sa{lie V. Is to be
put in at a valuation OF $1,000. the present
owners to retain 5-9ths, the other 4-9ths OF
the stock to be taken by other parties.
The owners further agree, after the four
thousand dollars are subscribed aud paid,
to furnish $40 In cash, to meet current
expenses. We do not see any real ne
cessity for another boat between this city
and Mt. Vernon, as we have now Well
established daily line, able and willing TO |
accommodate the shipping and travelling
public OF both citles-a line which Il is the
Interest of both places TO sustain and
maintain. IL The people OF Evansville
and Mt. Vernon, or along the coast be
tween these points, have faith in the en-
terprise, and believe t TO their interests to
re-establlsh the Sallie v. or any other boat
in that trade, It is a privilege they have 10
