Our Loveo Interests.

In conversation this week with our worthy
Representative in the General Assembly, our
attention was drawn to the importance Of an
effort being made by the people Of Richlsnd
and some of our neighboring parishes, to pro-
tee, their lands from overflow, by rebuilding
and keeping in repair the O'Possum Fork
levee He is confident that, with the work
that is slmos, certain To he done on the Mis-
sissippi river by the Government, the building
OF this Ievee will afford ample protection.
II is our purpose to discuss this subject fully
40 opportunity presents, though We have not
time and space At this time te more than
merely call attention to Act 80 OF the first
Sc ,sion Of the General Assembly Of 1879
BY reference to the last clause Of Section : Of
tat act, it will he seen that it is provided
That for the parishes Of Caddo, Bossier, Red
River, DeSoto, Grant, Rapides, Ouachita, West
Carroll, Morehouse, Caldwell, Catahouln,
Richland and Franklin, no Board OF Levee
Commissioners shall he appointed, but each
Of said parishes shall form q separate sub
district, and in each Of these districts the
police jury shall discharge separately, ior their
own parish, tho duties assigned to the Board
of Levee Commissioners in other districts /;
and they are hereby empowered to act sepa'
rately or jointly, as they may decide
Now the object we wish to accomplish is
the joint action Of the parishes to be affected
by the O'possum Fork levee. to wit: West
Carroll, Moe Iousc, Ouachi,a, Richland, Cald
well, Carahou.a AMI Franklin, with the con-
sent of the State Of Arkansas, and the co.
operation Of Chcot and Ashley counties, in
the rebuilding OF tina, levee. We are assured
by those who have carefully investigated the
matter, tina. the work can be done for $4,000.
Surely the citizens Of the territory to he pro-
,ec,ed would gladly be taxed to this amount.
1t is as though each man paid the amount Of
his tax to have his own individual land
di,cled and drained.
We urge the police j'.r,es to take this matter
in hand at once, appoint committees TO confer
with each other and s,e> proper authorities in
Arkansas, agree upon and levy tax in each
parish sufficient to build this importan, levee.
With this levee built and the work that is
70 be done on the Mississippi river, thousands
of acres Of the best land in these parishes
now subject to overflow, will be protected
and thus brought into cultivation, which will
make this one Of the iuest countries on tho
globe.
