Nicksburg Herald We think there is
little or no danger of an overflow of the
Mississippi valley this year. The river
is lower here for the season of the year
than it has been for many years. 1t is
only about seventeen feet above eX.
IRENE low water mark, There is so
much to 90 ON that we hardly think il
will get bank full this spring. 1t is
noticeable that we generally have high
water after very mild winter, and last
winter was one of the severest we ever
had in this county, That the weather
during the spring has a vast influence
on the question: is undoubted. Should
there be enough rain in the vast terri
tory drained by the Mississippi would
produce an overflow But we mean to
say there is not enough water to come
down the valley, at this time, to pro.
duce even threatening situation of
the river. The weather is ut present
fine, and all the indications are favora.
BILE that none of the Mississippi valley
lands will be inundated this spring.
