levee at the upper end of his place, ex-
tending mile and half back, from the
Mississippi river to the high basis on Clear
} creek. Fine front levees are constructed
on the Mississippi river, from Mr.. Burrus'
cross Ievee 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-
Etirely from overflow, ard render it one o.
the most desirable situations for cotton
! farm in the Mississippi bottoms. Il lies
/ but mile and a quarter from the Missis
sippi river, and is described in the town
