further rain.
The river continues to rise slowly here
= but it is checking up above, and 1t is nc
likely that it will go much higher
Though already stopping over it's edge
at some low places, the river is not ye
high enough to do any serious damage

s will set in about the latter part Of tn
week, but the decline will necessarily b
slow until the swamps are drained. In
