EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS
The Arkansas City Post refers as follows to the
old time boatmen: MIR. John Battles, the genial |
section foreman OF the railroad handed us a |
slate paper last Sunday The Evening True |
teen years ago. L. was brought up by the |
steamer Universe, Capt. Alfred Stein. master |
The Charles Morgan of that day was advertised |
for different route than the present, viz: for
TO the old happy ante-bellum times when there |
were steamboats, in earnest, and steamboatiug
was an accomplishment and an art which re.
quired peculiar talent to succeed in. Wecould |
not help contrasting the past with the present
and looking over the advertisements we were
strangely affected at the chapgeswt ich have taken
place since those happy, prosperous days. How |
many of the men who were steamboating then |
have passed over the dark river, and how few of |
the old time boatmen are to be found on the |
river now.
Among those whose names were ga familiar
then as now, we notice Capt. feathers and his
il would not seem as If the Vicksbnrg and New
Orleans trade were complete il there was not a
Capt. feathers and Natchez. We also notice
Capt. Jim White, Of the vicksburg, in the Green
vile trade tHe is still there and may he be long
time off. He lie as thoroughly identified with the
sGreenville trade as Capt. Leathers in the vicks-
burg and New Orleans trade. Anybody that does
not know or has not heard of Capt. Jim White,
o dnly knows very little of steambostng in
u ssst twenty-five years, and lees about the
lla2ssisS> api Valley. The other Yicksburg packet
IN so was the Grand Duke, Capt. Sam Applegate.
The 81. Louis Railroad line was composed Of the
VIM. ii. Morrison, Capt. John Bofnger, now re-
tired. and wealthy and respected citizen OF st.
Louis; Champion, Capt. e. b. Moore; Imperial,
Capt. Charlie Rogers; J. b. Swon, Capt Isaac

citizens of st. Louis.

John Walsh, Cspt. John Molloy, who was killed
on the Empress during the war, and better,
warmer-hearted. more genial gentleman never
