Bulletin:
Tie prospect along the Ouachita Valley for
crops is bright indeed, except in isolated
belts where, until the last three weeks. they
have had drouth for nearly three months.
There would have been two hundred bales
of new cotton from Ouachita and Black
rivers in town before this had they not ex.
perienced so much rain, which materially re-
tards the picking. As it is, the planters in
the Black River section will make more than
they can pick as will the Macon and Tensas
farmers. On Bayou Bartholomew there will
be a good average yield, the same with DAr
bonnie and B9uf River. AS yet, the rise Of
water along the line of the Vicksburg and
Monroe line has not overfown much planted
land, and as the water is receding there is nc
fear of disaster. Sickness prevails along the
entire river, which also retards the gathering
of the staple.
The government snag boat O. G. wsgael
has departed from the outrageous Ouac alta
after q successful spell Of snsg dentistry, to
pillow the turgid Yazoo, leaving lively repre-
Sentative behind in the person of Capt. E.ishs

crowd with his latest lecture on river naviga
ton. Au revoir, NAUTILUS.
