upon the case to point out said errors and

When my eye struck that particular
paragraph, | turned my attention to the
concluding portion of his letter and was
forced to exclaim, too many cooks spoil

this evening for Friar's Point, at
tending to all way business. She
starts in on her second season with
the promise of doing a larger bust
ness than last season. She entered
the trade during the dull months of
last year, and by the able manage
ment of her experienced and worthy
officers has built up a lucrative
trade between Memphis and Friar's
Point. She runs as regular as a
railroad, and never lost a trip last
season by fog or dark nights, when
Others had to go to the bank.
Capt. Nat Green, her commander,
enters into the new season with a
determination to add to the already
enviable fame of the Cheek, and
will give special attention to all way
business. Mr.. d. P. Davis, a gen.
tleman who is recognized for his
courtesy and prompt attention to
business, has aided Capt. Green in
making the Cheek so popular with
the shipping and travelling public.
Mr.. Joe LangFois and Lee Woallard,
two clever and accommodating gen.
tlemen, assist in the Office. The A,
j. White will also undergo a thor
ough overhauling from stem to
stern, reprinted and refurnished,
and will re-enter the Memphis and
Friar's Point trade by the first Of
the month. She and the Geo. W.
Cheek will form a daily line in the
Memphis and Friar's Point trade,
the Cheek leaving on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, and the
A. j. White on Tuesdays, Thurs.
days and Saturdays. Commodore
Geo. W. Cheek, Superintendent o.
the line, is determined to give thu
bends a line of packets that is in
every way worthy of the patronage
AS the business of the Illinois il
rapidly increasing we would not be
surprised to see him have anothe:
frst-class side-wheel steamer in tn,
Vicksburg trade, leaving here OF
Saturdays, as soon as the cottol
season fairly opens out.
