The port list yesterday was very
light, including only the regular pack
cts and few tow boats......The City
of Evansville brought up 1919 hhds
tobacco and large amount Of mis-
cellaneous freight......The Fayette al
so had considerable freight......The
tow boats Jim Watson and Little
Condor passed down, and the Falls
Pilot up. The latter had towed
Wade Hampton's mammoth new
wharf boat to Cairo. and has made
r. K. Lee time almost.....John Golf,
the renowned steward Of the steamer
City of Evansville, says that any man
who would bet against the X. K. Lee
hasn't bit of sense. Johnny ought
to know, as he paid for the informa-
tion.........Messrs. Lycurgus Chafin
and james Lyon, of New Harmony,
Charles Baker and Marsh Walthall,
of Mt. Vernon, yesterday sold the
steamer Clara Scott to Samuel
Christy, of West Virginia for $12, 900.
She will be placed In the Kanawha
trade. The transfer was made yes
terday, and the pretty Clara was to
leave last night or this morning for
her new field of operations. She is
almost new, and is an excellent steam
er. and cheap at the price designated
above.........The Pine Bluff arrived
from GraudvieW at 1:30, with a me-
dunn trip............The Alpha will be
found at the wharf this morning, aud
will leave for Nashville to-day at
PM. positiVely...........If any person
doubts that the Courier did threaten
boats that dare pass this port to avoid
the ezorbitant wharfage, and whose
stewards are directed to buy stores
elsewhere, to avoid the necessity Of
landing here, let him read the Courier
of last Sunday morning, and he will
see who should father the monosylla-
Bile lie, in the use OF which the writer
for the Courier is as thorough an ex-
pert as the veriest drab or BLACKBOARD
in the country.
