The local condition has improv
ed some since last week. TIL
Ouachita at this place :has rise1
only two inches since Sunday
and is now rising about one quar-
ter inch in a hours. The swamp
however, isfisiny more raoidi1,
caused by the many places where
the Ouachita is running over its
banks.
We understand that none Of
the water from the Panther For.
est break in Arkansas, has reach
ed this parish, but it is generally
claimed that we will receive a
portion of this water, however
the planters in the affected Sec
ton are proceeding with their
farm work and are much more
over the situation.
The 0uachita has fallen tvo
