 niles in extent raversin@ the State of Illinois from lts extreme Northern to it's extreme Southern limits ana connecting directly the city of Chicugo at the head ut navigation the Lakes the cities of Gaena and Dubuque on the Upper Mississippi and the cities )f Peru and La~e at the head of nal ratiou on the Illinois river. with the city of Cairo. The main trunk and G0lcna branch of this road are now completed
 nd naS~ngerS and teights daily transp ported WITHOUT CHANGE OF CARS, from Gulena and Chicago to Cairo. By 1nS the intersection oftbe Illinois Central Railroad with the Mississippi and tI,y tt1,ro 1-, railroad communication is now open with that city and by intersections with other cross railroads direct communication iS now opened between Cairo and all the principal cities and towns, not only of Illinois but also of all the Northern and Eastern. States Cairo will also be the terminus of railroad about to be built from Brooklyn opposite Paducah Kv alono and down the Ohio river to its mouth thus bringing to Cairo the rich products and wealth of the Wabash valley.
 The site of the city of Cairo is now fully protected against overflow from the rivers by an ordinary Ie wee. but new and substantial levee or embanlme s m c"nrSe Of construction, and portion already finished, which will be 50 feet wide on the op with an average height of about ten feet, and five feet higher than the highest water ever known at that To- caIity. This levee or embankluent. will entirely ENCOMPASS THE CITY.
 forming on the top the front street the bank of both the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and from it's size and substantial character will afford a complete pro- lection from overflow any stage of water however high. The expense of this embankment or levee s provided for by the Trustees of the City property and purchasers of lots will not be taxed or chnraJ
 in any way for its construction. Other eXensive and important improvements to be made at tbe cynepse of the Trustees, are projected and will soon be com menred which will give additional value to the pro- perty.
 This point is acknowledged by all having any per sonal acquaintance with it, to De one of the heathiest in the Valley of the Mississippi and. as regards sa
 ubrty of climate 1t compares tavorably with the heatliest cities of the Vest This s proved hv tbo testimony of tbp old rpsilaptS (of .l. several hundred) whose families present pictures of robust health not exceeded by the inha btnts of any other district West East, and short acouaintanrc with the locality will not fail to satisfy any one f tb fact. Without the levees or embankments on tbe rivers the inconvenience from high water would ho but temporary, continuing for not longer than few weeks in any one year and would be but soht in de gree during that period; By means of the levees already finished this slight inconvenience is fuv oh viated. and now. during the highest floods whiIo other cities on the Mississippi and Ohio are wholly or partially submerged, Cairo is entirely free from on- Inoyance by nigh water: From the great number of ipts already sold oindvduals, the buildings already erected and other Improvements makno and the great amount o business already concentrated there the success of Cairo is placed beyond doubt and It Is therefore confidently offer ed to the public as the safest and most desirable point in the country for investment ot capital or the exercise of enterprise and industry.
