VALUABLE REAL ESTATE FOR SALE
INTENDING to make a final close of my business in this county, I
offer at private sale, until the 1st day of December next, the
following items of property, viz:
A substantial and well built frame HOUSE, erected in the years
1829-1830, for an extensive TAVERN ESTABLISHMENT, situated at
Villemont, Point Chicot. This building is 50 feet long and 36 feet
wide, including the piazzas, two stories high, and divided in
commodious apartments for public business, for which it is one of
the best stands on the Mississippi river. The most of this building
is neatly finished within and without, partly by wood-sealing and
partly by plastering, paper, hangings, and painting; the lot neatly
fenced, and convenient out-offices. The whole cost about five
thousand dollars, for the materials and labor; rents, at this time,
at the rate of five hundred dollars per annum; but will be offered
at a reduced price, a great bargain to the purchaser. If not sold by
the first day of January next, it will be offered at RENT for one
year from that period.
A substantial STORE HOUSE, built of hewed cypress timbers, 15 by 27
feet, and the LOT on which it stands, situated in the town
aforesaid, and directly opposite the most noted and frequented boat
landing in this section of country - shelving and fixtures complete.
A frame DWELLING HOUSE, and the LOT, on which it stands, situate
between the two former, divided into four apartments, besides a
convenient kitchen and out houses. Contiguous to this, and which
will be sold with it, is a small frame on one corner of the front
yard. This has been used as an attorney's office.
A tract of LAND, situated on the west bank of the Mississippi, viz:
the SW trac. Qr. Of sec. 27, and south frac. half of sec. 28, town
10 south, range 1 east of the 5th Principal Meridian, extending from
about a quarter of a mile below the mouth of the Arkansas, one and
half mile front, down the Mississippi, and containing 313 acres.
This is considered a most important and valuable location, being
contiguous to a point which is destined shortly to be the main depot
for this territory, and a vast extent of country west of it. The
subscriber holds the patent from government for this tract, and all
the title papers complete.
One other tract of LAND, lying about 10 miles below the plantation
of Benj. L. Miles, Esq. fronts one mile on the west bank of the
Mississippi, and extends back nearly one mile in depth, viz: the
south-west, the north-west, and the north-east fractional quarters
of section 36, and the south-east quarter of section 35, township 15
S Range 1 W of the 5th Principal Meridian, containing four hundred
and forty acres. Nearly the whole of this tract is covered with the
finest growth of timber, principally cypress and ash, and is one of
the choicest situations on this river for the cord wood business, a
steam-saw mille and lumber business. And the whole of this tract,
together with a considerable body of adjoining lands, yet
unappropriated, can be secured from the highest floods of the river,
by a levee of two feet.
Also, another tract of 304 ACRES, situated on the west bank of the
Mississippi, from 11 to 13 miles above Point Chicot, and adjoining
to the plantation and grounds of Mr. John P. Walworth, viz: the
north-west, the north-east, and the south-east fractional quarters
of section 26, and the south-east fractional quarter of section 23
14 S, range 1 W of the 5th Principal Meridian, covering two miles on
the river. About 10 acres cleared and some cabins on this tract. A
large portion of this location above overflow, and nearly the whole
can be easily reclaimed and put under cultivation.
Also, one other tract of 318 ACRES, situate on the east bank of the
Bayou Bartholomew, in said county, and 15 miles from the
Mississippi, on a direct line. This is a choice selection, nearly
the whole being first-rate alluvion, elevated several feet above the
highest freshets, and highly adapted to the cotton culture.
The titles to the above lands are founded upon entries in the
Land-office at Little Rock, A.T., some of which are patented, and
for the whole Patent Certificates have issued.
The subscriber will make fee-simple and special warrantee deeds for
any or for all the above described lands.
Also, the PLANTATION on Point Chicot, occupied by Sarah Boane, about
40 acres cleared, and about 100 acres more of the adjoining ground
free from overflow, and can be easily brought into cultivation. This
place is entitled to the benefit of the pre-emption law of 1814, and
is secured against the yet unsettled Villemont claim, by a special
title bond for 300 acres. There is a comfortable frame DWELLING
HOUSE, and convenient out houses, on this tract, and, with small
improvements, would make a very agreeable and genteel residence for
a private family.
The whole of the above properties will be sold low, considering the
rapidly advancing value of such property on the Mississippi, and on
accommodating terms; or would be exchanged for Store Goods or
Negroes. A more minute description is deemed unnecessary, as, of
course, those will to purchase, will view the premises.

CAUTION
ALL persons are hereby cautioned against trading for, or taking an
assignment of, Note or Bond given by me, to Rezin Davis, sometime in
the spring or summer of 1829, for the hire of a Negro Man named Jef,

determined not pay it, unless compelled by law.

the south-west fr'l. quarter section of land No. 11, in town 1
north, and range 12 west, immediately south of Little Rock, and
adjoining the Quapaw line, as I shall certainly enforce the law
against all such as do trespass on the same.

DIED - In Crawford County, A.T., on the
14th August last, at the residence of Capt. C.B. Willingham, Mr.
William H. Mosely, late of Natchitoches, Louisiana, after a painful
illness of six weeks, which he bore with Christian and manly
fortitude. The deceased bore, thro' life, the character of an honest
upright citizen and exemplary Christian, and has left an aged widow,
together with numerous other relatives, to lament a loss which,
though severely felt, carried with it the consolatory hope that
their loss is his gain; believing as they do, that he has gone to
that world where the wicked cease from troubling and where the weary
are at rest. He had, a few weeks before his death, performed a
tedious and disagreeable journey from Louisiana to Arkansas, which
no doubt hastened the termination of his earthly existence. -

HOT SPRINGS IN ARKANSAS
Five years acquaintance with, and residence near, the Hot Springs,
should enable one to make a few interesting remarks; therefore allow
me to observe - that the condition of the county has improved; we
have better roads and more industry; the condition of the Springs is
much improved, though it is lamentably short of what it should be;
there are no comfortable bathing or sweating houses, and when a
person emerges from those luxuries, he has to encounter the blasts
of boreas, when his body is by far too sensitive for the mildest
zephyr that ever blew; and yet no serious accident has happened to
the invalid between the extremes of heat and cold; he has only to
bathe or sweat again to be relieved from any bad effects of the
former.
I presume the average number of souls visiting each year, has been
four hundred. It is not a place of splendor or gaiety; the fewest
number in good health come here - if any, they are with a sick
friend, or relative.
In 1827, four strangers died near this place; in 1828, none died; in
1829, two died; 1830, two died; in 1831, one died, by going into the
bath too soon after breakfast; in 1832, three died. About half of
all the deaths were of consumption, There have been a goodly portion
of cures, mostly of the rheumatism; next liver and general debility,
dyspepsy, and the old or recent effects of calomel. My confidence in
the virtue of these waters has increased; but much is lost for want
of a good resident physician.
The more happy effects of this water are slow, yet the effect is
soon felt by the weak and timid. Some get alarmed and go to Mr.
Percifull's, eight miles hence; there the stranger has found
something more than a friend - he has found a home. Mrs. Percifull
is a good nurse; her heart is full of the milk of human kindness,
and it flows freely to nourishing withering humanity. At such a
place a person gets better, or dies in more tranquility than could
at the Springs.
In 1827, the boarding houses were but moveable camps - but since
that time a pretty good tavern has been kept. Last season, it was
supplied every other day with vegetables; this season, every day by
the same man; and many others find it in their interest to bring in,
casually, their surplus fruits, &c. &c.
I hope, and believe, that next season, the proprietors will present
us with two good bathing and sweating houses, with an extra room in
each for dressing in.
These Springs are destined to be a great watering-place. The hot,
and cold water, have each an elevation that will bring them together
at any point on the plain of the bottom, to temper each other.
Water-works of fancy might be erected. The native uniform
temperature may be useful for many purposes. At present, it is used
in that operation called scalding hogs; it might be used as a water
bath, in mild distillations; its regular warmth would hatch
chickens, by thousands at a brood, as is done by a kiln; hot-houses
might be projected on a large plan and kept temperate by breaking,
suddenly, the streams of water within the walls, and many exotics
might be raised. Falling Gardens, might be watered by irrigation, or
by showers, as in Italy. This water is kind to vegetation.
The lands near the springs are supposed to be poor; but we find, by
a careful cultivation, they will produce all the luxuries of our
climate in profusion.

Interest to Wagoners - We understand
Agents have been sent out in various directions, to employ Wagons
and Teams of Horses and Oxen, to be engaged in transporting the
Emigrating Choctaw Indians from their point of debarkation, at Rock
Roe, on White River, to their destinations on the Arkansas and Red
Rivers. The teams, we understand, are to consist of five horses or
six oxen, and be capable of hauling a weight of 3000 pounds over the
ordinary roads of this Territory. For such teams, the price of $4
per day is paid, together with subsistence of the drivers and teams
until their return. The number of teams required, we understand,
will be upward of one hundred - most of which are already engaged.
|
| 10/10/1832 |
TO WAGONERS
AS it is probably that more WAGONS and TEAMS will be required for
the transportation of the Emigrating Indians, than those already
employed, it is requested, that persons owning Wagons and Teams, and
wishing employment, will make the same known, as early as
practicable, by letter, addressed to "The Principal Disbursing
Agent, Choctaw Removal, Little Rock, A.T.," so that he may know
where to apply, in case they should be wanted. It may not be
improper to add, that each Wagon and Team (either of five horses or
six oxen) must be capable of hauling a weight of three thousand
pounds over any of the ordinary roads of this Territory, and to be
attended by a careful and experienced Drive.

But ah! Why should they weep and mourn, when it has escaped the
cares and sorrows of this world, and departed, in its lovely
innocence, to the welcome arms of its Savior! - Communicated.

his case bore every mark of that terrible disease. |

CHOLERA!!!! - AT LAST!--- Several
physicians were called on Sunday night, to attend a case, supposed
to be one of the prevailing epidemic. It was a gentleman of St.
Francis county, Arkansas, (Austin Kendrick, Esq.) who was on his
return immediately from Philadelphia. Though the premonitory
symptoms manifested themselves previous to his departure from
Philadelphia, he was not taken violently ill, until the night after
his arrival at this place. On Monday morning he was taken to the
hospital, but did not survive more than an hour. |

NEW FERRY
On Point Remove Creek
The subscriber has cut a new road, diverging from the United States
Road to the right, at the edge of Point Remove bottom, and crossing
Point Remove creek at his house, and intersecting again on the west
side, in the bottom of Point Remove. This road avoids the old site
of the United States Road for the distance of two miles and is on
dryer and firmer ground than the old road. The subscriber has cut
the road at his own expense, and it is now confirmed by the Court.
He has graduated the banks of the creek so that wagons, with heavy
loads, can pass with case. The banks are causewaved to the water's
edge, so as to be always firm and safe. His boat, recently built, is
60 feet in length and 11 ? ft. clear in breadth - built of the best
materials; and his landings are so constructed, with firm abutments,
that the boat serves as a firm bridge, from one abutment to the
other in low water, and in high water a safe ferry boat. Travellers
and others who may wish to cross, will meet with prompt attention at
the Ferry.

The Cholera - We are sorry to learn, by
travelers from Memphis, that there have been several cases of
Spasmodic Cholera at that place, since the 15th inst., and three or
four deaths - all, however, of persons who had been landed from
steam-boats passing down the river. We have not heard of any case
that originated there. |

Washington County - We are pleased to
learn that emigration is still settling strongly toward this
thriving and fertile county. A letter to the Editor, from Cane Hill,
of the 18th instant, says "Our County is fast filling up with
emigrants from Illinois and Missouri. About fifty wagons have come
in during the last two weeks."
Murder - On the 16th inst., an elderly man named Simon Jebrocney,
was killed at Van Buren, Crawford County, by a boatman by the name
of Absalom Garrison, who had just landed at that place from a
keel-boat. The boatmen, we understand, were drinking and quarreling
among themselves, when Garrison struck the deceased, who was merely
standing by as a spectator, without the slightest provocation, and
beat him to death with his fist. An Inquest was held over the body,
who rendered a verdict of willful murder against Garrison, who has
fled, and we understand, passed this place some days since, on his
way down the Arkansas.
Mr. Jebrocney was a Polander by birth, a citizen of that place, and
a peaceable and very inoffensive man.

WASHINGTON IRVING, the accomplished author
of the Sketch Book, &c. and Judge Ellsworth, one of the
Commissioners for treating with the Indian trips of the West, left
Fort Gibson on the 17th inst. under the protection of Capt. Bean's
Company of Rangers, for the south-west, and intend proceeding as far
as the Cross Timbers, an extensive tract of country situate some 200
or 300 miles west of this Territory, stretching from Red River to
the waters of the Arkansas. It is Mr. Irving's intention, we
understand, to return in the winter, and as he will probably descend
the Arkansas, we hope the citizens of Little Rock will be honored
with a visit from this distinguished American Novelist.
