In this issue appears the pro-
fessional card of DR.. r. c. Campbell,
late of the City of Shreveport, but
who has permanently located in our
Town. As before stated by US he

being physician of long standing.
The river at this point still con-
tinues TO rise. For "a hours ending
yesterday morning it had risen six
inches; 81 for the first IL hours and
% inches for the last. We think
that by this evening it will be on a
stand if not falling. Our banks will
not stand much more.
The election ordered by our
City Council, taking the sense Of the
property owners in regard to grant
ing the right Of way up Front ST.,
to the Morgan Company, came of
on Saturday. 1t resulted as follows:
For Ordinance, 1870; against 81.

BY 3 telegram received bore on
Monday by the City authorities from
Shreveport, we learn that the river
at that point had started to decline.
For the last "a hours it had fallen
six inches, and wss still going down.
This is good news indeed, and may
possibly save US from being inunda-
ted.

Of the continued rise in the river, te
suggest that the city authorities take
measures to strengthen the weak pla
ces on the river front. Unless some
thing is done the possibility is tha
a disastrous overflow will occur. The
