“The undersigned has opened a New Ferry across the Ohio river at Higginsport, and is now prepared to attend promptly to all calls from either side of the river. Having purchased the horse boat formerly used at Boude's Ferry, he is prepared to accommodate travelers and all others who may call upon him, with safety and dispatch. The road on the Kentucky side from Higginsport to Augusta is good, and a first rate bridge is opened over Bracken Creek. He will also attend to the Ferry across the mouth of White Oak Creek.
