The Steamer
City Of Memphis
Sunk.
Went Down Thursday of
Last Week Near
Gold Dust.

A special to the Memphis Scimi-
tar of the 9th says:
The steamer City of Memphis,
which is owned by the st. Louis
and Tennessee River Packet Com
pany, and is run in the Memphis
AMIDST. Louis trade, suukThursday
afternoon about eight miles up the
river. She was crossing from
Rosa Landing, Ark, to Colo Dust,
Tenn, when she struck hidden
obstruction.
AT last accounts the boat was
lying easy on a bar with her bow
in four feet Of water and her stern
in six feet. Lumber had been OBJ.
tanned from Luxora, Ark, and
men were at work bulkheading
her, and it is thought that she
will be able to proceed on her trip
some time today. She has a hole
about fifteen feet long in her hull.
The river where she sunk is
about a mile wide and shallow.
The captain made for a sandbar
and succeeded in reaching it be-
fore the hull filed with water.
None of the freight was lost, and
the only damage is to the boat
and the loss of time.
The boat is only two years old
and was built at Jacksonville
Ind, especially for the trade be-
tween Memphis and st. Louis. II
was valued at 100000, and is in
sured.
This makes the second boat the
st. Louis and Tennessee River
Packet Company has lost within
the past ten days, the Clyde be
ing the first. She sunk about fit
teen miles aboveCairo, and q crew
of men are now at work trying tC
raise her. The latest reports are
that she will be saved.

For Them.
Activity in Iron now Great

Trading In Coal
and Ore Land.

The one thing which has been
lacking to make well-rounded and
general prosperity for the South
prosperity for the farmers as
well as for the manufacturers
has come. The advance in cot.
ton, if the price ruling, holds, as it
probably will, means that South.
ern farmers will receive at least
one hundred million dollars more
for this years. crop than for that
of last year. This means a great
deal to the South; in fact, to the
whole country. The addition of
one hundred million dollars to the
South's cotton; the production by
the country at large of about
2,5OO,0OO, 900 bushels of corn, OF
about 3CO,0OO,OOO bushels more
han the largest crop ever before
raised, the high prices which cat
lie raisers are getting, and the
enormous demand for all kinds Of
agricultural products by reaso
OF the employment of the people
qtgood wages, are factors in the
business situation which must
have a very telling effect. The
farmers this year are going to bt
prosperous.
Last year Western farmers were
in good shape and Southern far
mers were trying to get on soli(
ground by close economy. Thil
year Western farmers, with theil
magnificent corn crop and a fai
wheat yield, added to higher pri
ces for live stock, will b
in clover, and their Southern
brethren will wind up the season
with less debt and more spending
money on hand than for years.
Add to these facts that ever
