TO THE PROPRIETORS OF THE TOWN OF
LITTLE ROCK
A HOST OF THEM
When I attempt to write, or speak, I come to the point. You must all do
more than you have done, or give up the town. After the great compromise
was effected last fall, between the conflicting claimants (Pre-emption
and new Madrid) then all was to be right - the town was to improve ----
lots would be sold cheap ---- all lots that had been previously sold by
the New Madrid claimants, where a valid consideration had been paid, the
titles should be made good to the purchasers. I would ask, how widely
does the illusion differ from the first pleasing prospect, both as it
respects the improvement of the town, and innocent purchasers having
their titles confirmed by the New Madrid Owners? As it respects the
latter, the New Madrid claimants will make titles to lots or confirm as
they say, what has been made by Wm. M. O'Hara, and Elias A. Elliott, as
attorney in fact for Henry Elliott, as they please. Some they please to
make titles to --- others they do not. This is a kind of pleasure left
all on one side; and in my humble opinion, not correct. If the original
sales were good, confirm all the titles; if they were not, reject them
all. This would be treating to every man alike, and no one would have
cause to complain. But if I can see into the affair correctly, it is
somehow in this way: Such lots as are not in very advantageous
situations, and of course have not increased much in value, the original
sum paid will do, and to these they confirm the titles, are well
situated, and have increased considerably in value, and in fact, some of
the proprietors ( I mean in the New Madrid) want them for their own
particular use, as they join some lots that they own. This is not
correct; act with every man alike; act to all correctly.
There has been a great lack of confidence in the management of this town
by the former owner (or managers), and they still do things to keep it
up. They originally gave a bond to furnish a legislative house. This
house was built, and the Territory was to have the use of it, until a
removal of the Seat of Government from this place; and in that event it
was to revert to the original proprietors. During the last sitting of
the General Assembly, commissioners were appointed to fix on a proper
place for the Seat of Justice of this County. Three different places
were in nomination - Cadron, Crystal Hill, and Little Rock. Inducements
were held out to the commissioners from all the places, to build a jail,
&c. What was the inducement offered to the commissioners by some of the
people in power at this place? One of the commissioners has informed,
that, in addition to building a jail, a courthouse was offered for the
use of the county. How does this court-house affair now stand? It is
private property - they have a right to remove it at pleasure, or to
make what use they please of it. How much confidence is displayed in
this case? Away with such tricks!
What has been the asking price of some of the owners for lots? $1500 for
three! ($500 each!) and those lots lying on Second Main, East, and West
Streets, not on the river. Two of those lots were originally sold for
$50 each, and a conveyance made by E.A. Elliott; the title was not good;
they were re-purchased, and this is now the price for about half an acre
of land in the woods ---- and I think it will remain in the woods ---
and this very man did not wish to sell, but wished some of the owners to
sell, that the value of his lots might be enhanced still higher. He must
certainly think this is a New York of a place!
But to lay jesting aside --- Who are the men to improve a new town? Is
it men of capital? I answer, no - for they can do better with their
money in towns, or cities, already improved. It is the industrious
mechanic and laborer? Can they give these prices? No, No!
One year from this fall will bring the General Assembly to its session
again. Only one tavern yet; one boarding-house; and one private family.
There ought to be at least two taverns, and several boarding-houses; a
competition in all kinds of business is best; persons can then have a
choice. I have heard several of the old members of the Legislature, and
other persons, say, that, unless there should be an alteration in the
town, the Seat of Government would be removed. I have mentioned that
there was a tavern, a boarding-house, and one private family, at present
in this town. One year ago, there were two taverns, a boarding-house or
two, a store &c. Making seven or eight families in all. This looks like
improvement, ha!
Within a short time past I have heard that it is proposed by several
gentlemen, to purchase fifty or one hundred acres of land from William
Russell, where Mr. Martin lives and to establish a town there, on more
liberal principles. Look ye to it.
It has been six or seven months since the dispute of the town was
settled; and out of the many owners, not a solitary one has improved a
bit's worth.
I would advise some plans for the improvement of the town, but they
might be deemed absurd by the owners, I shall therefore desist. There is
one thing certain --- there are too many owners to pull well together;
some may wish to pull right, and indeed it may be the wish of all; but
there being so many different interests, and every one viewing his own
plan the best to make money out of his lots, that none of them are
making any.
Yours Respectfully,
A Friend to Improvement

HORSE MILL,
AT LITTLE ROCK
This Mill is now in complete order, nicely levelled and furrowed, and
will grind six bushels per hour, by a little pushing of the horses; but
at a common gait, it grind fifty bushels of good meal per day. The law
has presecribed the toll: if the horses are furnished by the owner of
the mill, one fourth; if by persons wishing to grind, one eighth - the
same as water mills.
I intend keeping meal on hand; persons who wish, may be supplied either
on a sale, or in exchange for corn.
This Mill was constructed and built by Mr. Joseph Thornhill, a
carpenter, and is the first one that he ever attempted to build, and I
can truly say, that it does great credit to his mechanical genius.
