THE WEATHER. cannot find words
to express our opinion OF the present
weather, but II we were profanely in
clined we could readily give vent to our
feeling, and IL we did some cuss words
might appear in print, hence we refrain
and only say that it is as hot as --, it
can get to be.
BUSINESS Has improved a little since
our last.
Gone where the woodbine twineth-
the Bastrop.
In speaking OF the new Southern Belle,
the Louisville Courier journal says;
Mr.. ID. s. Barmore. the well known
boat builder of Jacksonville, has just
launched one OF the best and hand
soonest bulls that ever graced the placid
bosom of the Ohio river. We refer TO
Capt. J. b. McElroy's Bayou Sara and
take the place Of the b. l.. Hodge in
that trade. The Southern Belle was
launched Saturday in the presence OF
large crowd Upon her spacious decks
were q large number Of ladies and gen
tlemen, prominent among whom was
Miss Arabella Roberts, Of New Albany,
Ind, who did the honor OF christening
the new boat with bottle or cham
payne.
The boat is now ut the city wharf re-
ceivipg her finishing. touches at the
hands of a large number Of mechanics
and workmen. Her dimensions are as
- r % ht,ll xviH
of beam 80 feet, with IS foot floor, depth
of hold u feet, the bottom plank being
four inches thick. She will have two
engines, 22i-inch cylinders each, 7-foot
stroke, and working q foot wheel,
with l2-foot bucket. She will have
four two-hued, all steel boilers, IL inches
in diameter and 30 feet long, besides all
the necessary engines, etc, to make her
perfect in all her appointments. She
will have a beautiful, full length, spa
cious cabin, with 40 large rooms, bridal
Railways, offices, etc, over
which will be handsome texas,
with well furnished rooms, to accommo-
date officers and to give comfort to " de
culled 'stocracy oh de South.
Mr.. Barmore commenced the work on
this boat on April /, and by the 1st OF
September Capt McElroy will go to the
modelled, best furnished. and, we think,
fastest boats in the South. Capt. McEl-
roy is native Kentuckian, and we wish
him and his pretty Southern Belle every
SUCCESS in the world. She will carry be
tween her chimneys the white hat which
graced the b. l.. Hodge, and which the
friends of the late Capt. Greathouse will
recognize We will write full descrip
ton Of the new Southern Belle when
she gets ready to leave our port for her
new home in the old Sunny South.
She'll be beauty.
