The Mississippi is rising rapidly in thi.

the rear rice lands. Large quantities OF
drift wood render navigation difficult by
day and dangerous at night. Weak places
in the levces should be repaired without
delay, as few feet OF insecure embank-
ment may cause widespread disaster, and
we can not afford TO lose single crop by
