The Evansville Courier SAYS: at is
thought that Capt. Henry MilIer's new
boat, the Mary Miller, will be out in

the Evansville and Memphis trade. Ev-
ansville never needed a boa in that trade
more than now. She is losing all the
profitable trade from the Mississippi

have a good Memphis packet. It makes
a difference of from $500 to SO, goo a week
in thec cash receipts of this city. It would
be an item worth circulating amongst us
