The LIGHTNING WILLIE In Place of
The Oudcltita Belle, When the trade be-
tween this city and points on the Qua
chta River and it's tributaries became
too dull to Justify the Captains Blanks
in running the elegant Ouachita Belle,
they retired her for repairs and substl-
tuted the pretty Lessie Taylor; now the
Lessie Taylor will retire to undergo a
thorough overhauling. SO rs to be in
readiness for the early fall trade, and In
her place Capt. Fred Blanks has placed
the neat Willie in the trade as a regular
weekly packet between this city and
Ouachita City, leaving regularly every

accustomed to the climate OF their fu-
ture place OF abode.
