River Reaches a Point Never Before Touched-Subsiding Now.
[June 21, 1893] The river yesterday reached the highest known mark at this place, but by noon today the gaguge registered a fall of two inches. The fine weather, compared to the rain and wind of the day before, may have had something to do with this, but it is generally accepted as bearing out the prediction of the chiefs of the United States and State Engineer Bureaus here, who claimed that the highest point had been reached by the river and that unless there should be a succession of storms the water would steadily decline and that the greater danger was past.

During crawfish season in Louisiana, any occasion can become a reason for crawfish boils and patio parties to feast on these seasonal delicacies. Even though our crawfish production is below average this year due to weather factors — flooding and drought — and the high cost of diesel fuel, for the next couple of months you should still be able to buy good Louisiana crawfish.
