Wants Merchants to Buy Steamboat.
 There is a scheme on foot for the
 merchants of the city to buy or build
 a steamboat to ply the Alabama river
 and to be operated solely in the inter
 est of Selma and it's various business
 interests. This idea was advanced yes
 terday by Dr. T. P. Gary. weli-known
 wholesale groceryman.
 That a boat managed and controlled
 by the business interests Of this city
 would prove of vast benefit is doubted
 by but few. Dr. Gary thinks that
 alone the cotton seed brought to this
 city each season would pay the operat-
 ing expenses of the boat The other
 money made during the year could be

 shape of dividends
 Dr. Gary has approached a number of
 the business men of the city in regard
 to the scheme and 1t has met with their
 approval Several have sisnified their willingness to take $i ,00O worth of stock in the enterprise.
 The matter of q freight bureau for
 Selma has been agitated for several months and a committee from the Commercial and Industrial Association is no wworking earnestly upon that question, The committee is raising 1 subscriptions among the business in- terests of the city for maintenance of
 the bureau.
