Application has been made for the
charter Of the Ryman line. a packet
company with capital stock OF

lied as the result of the transfer of
the Ryman steamboats, at quite a
handsome figure. the price paid for
the boats being a good one. running

corporators OF the new concern are
Matthew Gracey, of GAINESVILLE, h.
y. Lester. J. s. Tyner. George Dou-

Steger. The company will run a
packet line from Nashville down the
river to Paducah and Evansville and
M the river to Burnside. The compa-
ny will carry freight as well "a pas
sengers. but most OF the freight bus
lncss will be merchandise and stuffs
to be transported rapidly.
For some time the gentlemen
above mentioned have been working
on the details necessary to trans
fer OF the Ryman boats to the new
company Included in the list are
such steamers as the J. d. Richard
son. n. W. Buttorn. the II. Dunbar
and the Bob Dudley. These steamers
are elegant affairs and are very val
liable. It is probable that they will
begin operations under the new man
agement In the very near future. as
the rain Is making the river men
smile, and unexpected activity Is
looked for at the wharf in a few
days. These boats will operate as
long as there is sufficient water to
permit Of their passage up and down
the stream. SO far the river has not
been locked and damned sufficiently

During the boating season, however.
the feet OF steamers will be busy

OF merchandise to be carried up and

chased line of towboats and harges

also get busy IN the near future as
the river is expected to rise soon to
such an extent as to admit OF the
towboat business. Captain I. NJ. Gal
lagher. one OF the best known river
men In the entire country, as well as
one Of the most expert, will be traf-
nc manager OF the towboat company.
They will have enough boats and
barges to bring down thousands of
tons of heavy freight. They will haul
mostly crossties, slaves and lumber,
although passengers can also be car
rled under their charter. IL Is fig
ured that one boat can come down
the river with six or seven barges
and thus carry one million feet OF
lumber or the equivalent of about
$50 car loads. which will be several
trains. Captain T. G. Ryman. Jr.,
who ~ an experienced riverman and
regarded as one OF the best in the
business. will be superintendent Of
the towboat line. The officers have
been heretofore published, as fol-
lows John u. Ransom, president;
John w. Love. vice president; Wal
ter Keith, secretary and treasurer.

samples of tin plates to be furnished
wagon drivers to show that they
have been properly licensed.
The plates are thick and have
raised letters showing whether the
license is for a one or two horse

year of the license. The plates will
be secured for next years license tax
