About thlrty-fve men were at work with
.shovels and wheelbarrows filling out the

The levee will be in a condition by the
time the work is done to resist
any prospective flood that may
be brought against it. Mayor

McHale for Col. Taylor, and the many
other citizens who excrted themselves per-
sonally TO render the levee safe, and who
are still using their influence and means to
continue the work upon it, deserve grateful
remembrance. Our citizens may now rest
assured that Cairo will not be oyerflowed,
and may again prepare for business and for
the full enjoyment Of the comforts Of home.
