A number of up river papers ar
still harping on theMemphis reporter
notice of the fast run Of the steame

Lee has made the best record betwee
Helena and Memphis. AT the sam
time, will freely admit that the lowe
river steamers, r. E. Lee, John "
Cannon and Natchez, are all taste

Anchor Line steamers.
