Important to Our Welfare.

A citizen Of our city who has just
returned from New Orleans, called
our attention to the fact that as the
river is now, unattended by any eff
fort on the part of the people OF this
section, it will soon cease to be navi-
gable to this place. We allude to the
bend in the river, wheEe it runs into
Tones Bayou. On our first visit to
this city we noticed the same thing,
with very unpleasant reflections
