creek. Fine front levees are constructed
on the Mississippi river, from Mr.. Burrus'
cross levee down the Mississippi to, Lake
Bolivar; thence down Lake Bolivar for
five or six miles. These levees, together
with the high lands on Clear creek, sur
round the Pushmattaha tract, protect it en-
tirely from overflow, ard render it one of
the most desirable situations for cotton
farm in the Mississippi bottoms. It lies
bat mile and a quarter from the Missis-
sipPi river, and is described in the town.
