lives in the Fourth ward, and Lizzie used

We clip the following item from the
river column of the Paducah News of Mon.
day: The Messrs. Halliday e. Phillips
brought their pleasure boat Ariadne up
from Cairo yesterday with quite party of
old friends Of the late Capt, l.. \. Fowler
to attend his funeral. Among those pres
ent were noticed Capt, VIM, Halliday, Capt.
j. NJ Phillis, Maj. Ed. Halliday, Capt
Rearden, agent Mississippi Valley Trans
portation company; G. d. Williamson, boat
store merchant; John Q. Hartman, G. G
AIvord w. II. Morris and others. EThe Ari-
adne was fully draped in mourning, with
flags at half-mast, as testimonial of the
kind regard in which Capt, Fowler was held
by her owner. Such marks Of trcnship
and coincidence are seldom shown to the
dead, and we dare say is very properly APP
prcciatcd by the relatives Of the deceased.
and also serves to bring the two cities near
er together in ties of ncighborly friendship.
