Of fine hotels, two or three churches, a
large number Of stores, and is. tastefully

its r@pid' progress, and the good quality of
It's components, than for it's natural beauties
and picturesque location. It standsson a
high wooded bluff, at the bend ofthc Miss
isslppii, and IS literally embosomed in4trees.
