Staves
One of Hatchie river’s old navigators, Captain Martin PIRTLE, has just completed a large flatboat, and will float down to New Orleans, in a short time, a large number of first class white oak staves. We learn that Col. J. J. NEELY will also load a boat or two with the same material – same destination. The stave business is a good one and pays well. Good luck to the broad horn fleet.
