CANT design has been placed in the
hall for the accommodation of pas
Sengers. The Ruth in her new
dress is one of the protest packets
that comes to the wharf. The
people along White river will
hardly know her, she looks so nice.
Her cabins present a beautiful and
inviting appearance. Capt. Harry
enters the new cotton year with a
steamer well suited for the White
river trade, and is deserving of
liberal patronage for his enterprise
in keeping a boat in the trade during
the dull months at a great loss.
Though thankful for the patron
age extended her heretofore by his
patrons and friends on White river,
he hopes by doing their business
this season and giving
them such a beautiful packet to
travel on to merit a continual
ton of not only their friendship
but their patronage. AS soon as
the cotton season opens out fairly
Captain Harry will place in the
Memphis and White river trade an
other f~rst-class packet to run in
connection with the Ruth. The
new boat will leave on Tuesdays
and the Ruth on Saturdays. Mr..
Ed Orowell, who is one of the best
and most accommodating clerks on
the river, controls the office affairs.
Peter Duffy, who is recognized as
one of the best stewards on the
river, has superintendent her outfit
and will preside over her cabins; he
will also deal out medicine" for
the thirsty.
