The daisy Independent Coast and La
fourche steamer Belle more than holds
her own in the estimation Of the shipping

clerk. These names are as familiar as
household words along Bayou Lafourche
and the river coast, and arc 4 tower Of
strength to any craft. Capt. Oz6m6 Dial.

ut Donaldsonville, and his popularity
and prompt attention to business CON
tribute III no small degree to the big
cargoes that the staunch and beautiful
Belle is carrying every trip.
