the plantation Of ]. R. Burrus, esq.
The latter gentleman has made fine
levee at the upper end of his place, ex-
tending mile and a 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 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 il en-
tireIy from overflow, ard render it one of
the most desirable situations for cotton
farm in the Mississippi bottoms. It lies
but mile and quarter from the Missis-
sippi river, and is described in the town.
