The daisy Independent Const and La
fourche steamer Belle more than holds
her own in the estimation of the shipping
and traveling public, and it is not to be
wondered that such is the fact when we
consider that Capt. Max Blanchard is ir
command and that Mr. Lew Pugh is hea
clerk. These names are as familiar as
household words along Bayou Lafourche
and the river coast, and are a tower of
strength to any craft. Capt. Oz6tn6 Dal
feres is the shipping agent of the Belle
at Donaldsonville, and his popularity
and prompt attention to business con
tribute in no small degree to the big
cargoes that the staunch and beauti'ul
Bello is carrying every trip.
