MISSISSIPPI IS
 ON A BIG RISE
STAGE AT MEMPHIS WILL REACH FORTY FEET = LOW LANDS IN LEE COUNTY ARE BEING INUNDATED.

The Mississippi river is on anoth- CT big rise-this time with great Ter volume of water than at any of the many rises that have marked it's checkered career during the past six months. The stage at Memphis will reach forty feet and the crest will reach that city on Thursday or Friday of next week. The L'An- guile and St. Francis rivers are now overflowing the lowlands in Lee county with backwater. A stage of thirty-two or thirty-three feet puts water over some of the lands and a fcrty-foot stage means complete in- undation for many farms. The crest of the rise will reach the bottoms east of Marianna on Sunday or Monday of next week. Land owners are not alarmed, however, because they have had ample warm ing and will have all of their live stock out of the lowlands before the crest reaches this section. The rise comes at time when it will do the minimum damage. The farm CTS in the bottoms have done very little toward putting their lands in shape for the new crops. In fact, they know the dangers of the spring overflows and as a rule they wait until after the danger point | is passed before they do much work. The Commercial Appeals river story this morning is as follows:
 There is no cause for alarm at the increasing depth of the Mississ- ippi River in the Memphis district, says Maj. William M. Gardner, sec ond officer in charge of the local United States engineering office. The levees in the St. Francis and Yazoo basins are in excellent condi- tion, says Maj Gardner, and will be
 able to withstand fifty feet on the Memphis gauge if the water should
 ever reach that heighth.
 The summer of 1919, with its
 long months of dry weather, resulted in thorough drying of the leyee
 embankments. The earth mounds
 became solid and compact. As a consequence of the long walls of
 dirt will be ready for any emergen- cy.
 Heavy rains have fallen over
 the Arkansas and lower Mississip- pi valleys" stated Forecaster Scott,
 land the weather map favors an extension of the rainfall area. The
 conditions. may prolong the high
 water period in this district. Re vised estimates as to the crest stage
 will be made later, if necessary.
 The Ohio River at Cairo is still
 rising. Above Evanville the water
 is falling. Cincinnati reports a fall
 of 36 feet, while Louisville notes a
 fall of 2.2. The crest of the pres
 ent rise in the Ohio River passed
 Evansville yesterday, where a rise
 of only I of foot was posted. The
 crest has not reached Paducah. The Cumberland River is falling
 at Nashville and the Tennessee River
 is receding at rapid rate.
 Yesterdays gauge reading at
 Memphis showed a depth of 34.5
 feet, a rise of 5 of foot. Dur
 ing the afternoon the water rose .3 of a foot. This stage was posted
 on the board on the river front.

The last number of the Lyceum Lecture course will be given Friday evening, April 2. Of course we are sorry to have this number on this date but it is the best we could do. You will recollect that we were to have the Metropolitans in Decem- Der. They reached Wynne in the afternoon but could find no way to come over here. The number they are sending is the SAM LEWIS COMPANY and are rated as high and cost as much as the Metropol- itans. We hope the people will turn out to hear them. *27
