Last River Packet Reaches Memphis
 Never to Leave Again On Journey

Memphis. Tenn, July 31 PS Down on the Mississippi river front this morning they said the Valley Queen was due and that it would hot leave again.
 An epoch will end as the Valley Queen swings around the bend and glides into the shadow of the Mem phis skyline. It is the last of the Memphis packets.
 The Valley Line Steamers, Inc, gees out of business today, closing the last of the packet lines which have sent boats from Memphis to the ports and landings along the big river for more than century.
 Leaves No Packet
 The docking of the Valley Queen leaves no packet on the river be- tween Cape Girardeau, Mo, and Memphis. A few boats run from New Orleans to and beyond Vicks- burg, Miss. A few also operate far to the north.
 But the way landings dotting the banks immediately above and below Memphis no longer will know the sound of a packets whistles, sum- moning farmers and Negroes down to the waters edge to attend the arrivals and departures which in other days were part and parcel of their lives
 Not long. ago Captain G. Peters
New Britain herald., 1930-07-31

Loe, principal owner of the Valley Queen, sold the Harry Lee, last boat bearing the Lee name. He is the grandson of James Lee, who ran the first Lee boat in 1867 and founded the now legendary Lee line.
 Typical Of Old Boats The Lee boats were typical of the packets which ran in those days. White superstructures, topped by great smokestacks, rose above gor- geous passenger and dining quarters. Below, the best engines to be bought drove sterm and side wheels which beat an incessant tune in the rivers S waters.
 Negro roustabouts. captains and pilots of the sort Mark Twain chronicled, belles and gamblers, and towering piles of cotton all rode the river then.
 Today the cobblestoned wharf where once cotton lay piled by the thousands of bales now is used as ar autom obile parking ground.
 Long rows of barges carry most of the freight now hauled on the river.
 Railroads and buses carry the pas sengers.
 Old Days Arc Gone
 There are no more slaves; gam blers no longer Haunt their presence, the days Of belles with pantalettes
