Iae weather for tH5 past wee. hide been gsaE end
}ool-just the kind to bring the cotton crop out.
The little squirt Of rise from upper Red river which
checked the fall opposite this point has had It's day.
Ard water-like has found its level In other words
fhe river is again the fall and last night about
IL feet above the lowest water mark Of last season
ripper Red river is reported very low, and falling
There is still plenty Of Jefferson and Hurricane
BLUFFS to do the necessary business From this point
Te have no reason to complain on the score of low
water However, from the lights before US, we cannot
expect the river to remain in its present healthy state

season puts in very soon. Business on the eyee for
