West East, and short acquaintance with the locality will not fail to satisfy any one ofhe fact. Without the levees or embankments on the rivers the inconvenience from high water would be but temporary continuing for not longer than lew weeks in any one year. and would be but slight in de- gree during that period. By means of the levees already finished this slight inconvenenceis fully ob- viated, and now, during the highest floods, while other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio wholly or partially submerged, Cairo is entirely free from noyance by high water. From the great number of lots already sold to individuals the buildings already erected and other improvements making, and the great amount of business already concentrated there the success of Cairo is placed beyond doubt and 1t is therefore 'confdenty offered to the public as the safest and most desirable point in the country for investment of capital or the exercise of enterprise apd industry.
