Date Article
10/07/1823 Died - At Batesville, on the 1st inst. of an inflammation of the stomach, Maj. Joseph Taylor, late a resident of Cynthiana, Kentucky.

This gentleman emigrated to our Territory about four months since, with a view of a permanent residence among us, and from every information we have gained, he was esteemed by all who knew him. He possessed an extensive knowledge of the science of law, and had he lived, would probably, at some future day, have filled some judicial situation in our Territory. He was interred with Masonic honors, by some of the members of the fraternity at Batesville, who have resolved to wear crape for one month in token of their respect for the memory of the deceased.

10/14/1823 TEN DOLLARS REWARD

BROKE from the jail of this county on Wednesday night last, a Negro woman named CELIA, committed to Jail by the Sheriff of Pulaski County under an attachment. She is a large likely woman, inclined to be fat, black complexion, no particular marks remembered. She was lately the property of Walter Webber, (a Cherokee) and will, in all probability make for the nation. She is supposed to have went away in company with two Negro men belonging to said Webber. Any person returning said Negro woman, shall receive the above reward.

Personally appeared before me, John Nicks, a justice of the peace for said county, Jacob Slinkard, who being duly sworn, saith, that about the ninth of April last, a SORREL MARE, about six years old, near fifteen hands high, branded with a small O on the near shoulder, came to his farm on the Samyboy; his owner being to him unknown, and he therefore prays that he enter her as an astray.

His Mark, Jacob Slinkard

Sworn to and subscribed at Fort Smith, August 16, 1823. John Nicks, J.P.

We, the subscribers, duly summoned and sworn as appraisers, do agree and report the above named Mare to be worth in our opinion, twenty-five dollars.

10/21/1823 TO THE PUBLIC

CIRCUMSTANCES have occurred, in my late application to the Legislature for a divorce from my present wife, Milly D. Gibson, that renders it necessary for me, in this way, to combat them. It seems, a certain man on board a steam-boat, while wooding at Helena, stated to Colonel Daniel Mooney, and a Mr. Hunt, that I had got a considerable property by my wife, which I spent, and then deserted her, and from time to time had drawn on her for money. All these accusations are base, false, and the product of malicious envy. Whoever the fellow may be, I pronounce him to be a liar, and a villian. If he has the least spark of spirit or honor, he will not conceal his name, and endeavor to substantiate his charges against me. I appeal to all those who are acquainted with the circumstances of my marriage, for the justification of my character in this respect. This scoundrel would not merit the smallest notice from me, were it not for the influence it has had upon the minds of some worthy men.

10/28/1823 TO THE PUBLIC

BENJAMIN L. MILES, having published a handbill under date of October 8th, 1823 addressed to me, filled with falsehood and misrepresentation, I request the public to suspend their opinion on that subject until the truth or falsity of his statements are investigated in a judicial tribunal. The subscriber having taken measurements to give Miles an opportunity of proving all his charges if true, he therefore deems it improper to answer those charges at this time.
