NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
To the Public.

WE desire TO state that our steamboats,. A.
w J, White and Geo. W. Cheek, have,
since the withdrawal Of Captain Lees boat
some weeks ago, been running in the Mem
phis and Friars Point trade, making daily
TRIPS.
Recognizing the fact that Captain Lee. by
virtue OF having had a boat in this trade,and
having just completed a new boat, owned by
several gentlemen between this and FrIar's
Point, built FOR that trade, en- titled his boat
70 day IN said trade, we mmediately with
drew the steamer Geo. W. Cheek IRON
the Friars Point trade, leaving one
day FOR the White and one for Can
tain Lees boat. captain Lee advertised
tnat the Allln would leave on Monday,
and did start her out on that day IN
opposition 10 the White, after which we or
dered the Cheek to return 10 Memphis and
resume her trips on Tuesday. After haYing
made two trips against our boat, and Just be
fore the White ana Allin were to leave this
had an interview with Captain Lee, in order
that the dispute as TO which boat should
leave on Monday might be settled, and She
conflict between Captain Lee and ourselves
ended. The interview resulted IN Captain
Lee having the choice days, and Captain
Cheek naming the days eacn boat should
leave here, together with the fact that Captain
Cheek should withdraw the steamer Cheek
rom the FrisI's Point trade, and that
the White and Allin should In future make
each two trips per weeK, instead Of three. as
previously. aut1ln tueeE named Mondays
and Ihursdsys for me bcat ana Tuesdays and
fridays IOE tne oLneT- captain Lee chose
Tuesdays and Fridays as the days on which
his boat would leave mem phis, leaving Mon
days and Thursdays for tine White.
We immediateiy withdrew the steamer
Cheek from the trade, aud as Captain Lee
claimed that his boat was compelled 10 go
DOT that evening. Captain Cheek laid the
White over until the next day, turning over
all her passengers to the Phil AIiin, Captain
Lee acknowledging the day TO be ours, and
agreeing that In future the Allin she uid leave
on Tuesdays and = id8ys and the White on
Mondays and Thursdays.
We, without hesitation, gave him the ben

This settlem eut Of our dispute was hailed
by every one with delight, an1 all seemed TO
feel that the compact between the White and
the Aliin was as solemn as fair and Just. Our
surprise may be imagined, when, tue next
