fee a postal card saying that "the
steamers Natchez, j. NJ. White, Rob
ert Il. Lee, John W. Cannon, ed
Richardson, Ed j. Gay and Fred A.
Blanks can pass the James Lea
easily and pass all around her." We
feel truly thankful to Fast Timer"
for this information, but who sad
they couldn't? The LEDGER has stated
that the James Lee made the fastest
time on record between Helena and
Memphis. The owners of the boat,
above mentioned will not deny this
but if they are anxious to beat the
time Of the Lee, let them bring their
boats and make the run, and the
other fellow who says he will eat tht
Natchez, if she proves una
BILE to the task, had bet

get his fill. Every person of common

the course six times week, can rur
around many a point and througl
many a hole that the larger boat
could not take advantage Of.
