The Jefferson packet Lizzie Hamilton wus N on
Thursday night aud 0ut again Friday morning with
JaH-up TRIP u both passengers and freight
The packet line steamer National, Dick Sinuott mas
ter and John Hall clerk left for the city last Friday al
her usual hour with 2Tj bales of cotton 400 head Of
sheep, go head Of cattle and fair list Of passengers
The upper Red river packet Cricket arrived from
Fulton on Saturday with a small load Of lumber The
Cricket left Fulton last Wednesday, where the last rise
had effected the ryerpnly about foot and when she
left it rising very slowly. We are still of the opin-
ion that this rise will hardly effect the river at this
point lie cricket has been above the raft about two
months, and of course has had an excellent opportu
nifty OF seeing the destruction caused by the late heavy
rise. Her officers give really deporabe account of
the state OF many Of the plantations above the raft
Where they have not been washed too bad and the
fences not beyond repair signs of putting another
crop can be seen. On many of the plantations no
attempt of the kind viii be made. The raft filled up
nearly TIVE miles the last rise.
The New 0ueans and Jefferson packet Mittie Ste /
phens arrived at this place Sunday morning from
Jefferson with 1870 bales Of cotton so bags of wool and
and q small list of passengers Her officers report
heavy rains of and at Jefferson for the past three
days, and very heavy storm on Saturday morning .
The bayou again rising from the local rains The
Stephens left for the city Monday after making con
siderable additions to her trip at this place
The New Orleans and Shreveport line packet Ala .

things large lot of railroad iron. We are in
debted to her officers for late papers
The Jefferson packet Lizzie Hamilton came in Sunday
with nothing in sight. Her officers report the river
rising again at jefferson She returned the text morn
ing with a first rate trip.
The upper Red river packet Dixie arrived on Monday
from Mill creek with 80 bales of cotton The Dixie left
Mill creek last Friday morning, at which point the river
was at low stage. The sand bars in that neighbor-
hood were again prominent. She met the rise spoken
OF in our last on her up trip at White Oak shoals and
ran though 1t 10 twelve hours On Saturday she passed
Fulton and reports the river falling fast at that point
Her officers report the river within its banks as low
down as Spring bank and falling and the planters
generally engaged in putting in new crops. AS we
stated last week this rise will hardly have any effect
on the river at this point
The New Orleans and Shreveport line packet Ala
bama got off for the city yesterday with about 300
bales OF cotton, lot Of cattle and sheep and good
list Of passengers.
The following is list of the departures for The city

1906 and Alabama, z5o-tota l04l bales
The steamer II. Blanton, hence for Carolina bluff,
with lot Of mules board, caught fire in Ter cabin
last Sunday when about two miles above this place.
Strange TO say, although her cabin entirely de-
str0yed her hull and machinery were but little injured
Only Of the mules lost. The Blanton will be
all right again in few days.

for employment: George, CaddO Alex SpGer, Gossa-
