Some persons seem to think that
the flood in the Upper Ohio will not
have much effect 90 the river south of
Memphis. We don't see il that way;
we already have bank full river, and
rising at about 2 1-2 teulhs every "a
hours. The fall at Memphis will never
reach here and it will continue to rise
from the floods in the upper rivers.
We hope that there will be no high
water, but the indications point now
to an extreme high water, although
some persons say not. Our levees are
in fine condition and can hold the
water that is in sight.

We are going to have good size
water, and there is no mistake about
this fact. Now is the time to get
everything necessary TO make high
water fight, and not wait until the
fight has to be made. II is true that
the levees in East Carroll are in finer
shape TO Withstand flood than ever
before, but there will be found weak
places that will have to be guarded
closely, and it would be much safer 10
have all necessary material right on
the ground where it can be secured
quickly aud without delay. The last
high water fight that was made ought
to be a lesson in this respect.
