TO THE PUBLIC
HAVING heard that it is told to travelers and movers to Texas, that
the Ferry known as Dooley's Ferry, on Red river, together with the
road leading to that Ferry, is in consequence of bad order, nearly
impassable; and believing that a great portion of the traveling
community is thereby directed from the best and nearest route to
their destination, we beg leave to state that such reports are, we
believe, propagated for the purpose of gratifying and saving the
public interest, regardless entirely of the jury and inconvience
inflicted upon the traveling public.
We will farther state that the accomodations on the Dooley's Ferry
road are as good, if not better, than on either of the other routes
- that the road is, in our opinion, and that of many others,
decidedly better and nearer - that the crossing of the river is
entirely safe and expeditious - there being two good ferrymen
constantly at their post, and the boat is carried over by means of a
good and strong rope.

FORT SMITH,
An important Town Site,
At Auction
At the repeated solicitations of my friends, I have determined to
lay off into Town lots, one hundred and sixty acres of my tract of
land known as the FORT SMITH TRACT, and to offer the same for sale,
on the first Monday in May next. The terms of sale will be made
known on the day of sale.
This point has been so long and favorably known by many steam boat
officers and commercial men, in the South, that it requires no
comment; yet it may be proper to say, that it is the head of
navigation, and directly on the Indian boundary. It has, for years
past, been the great depot and store house for the whole upper
country.
Its contiguity to the various mineral, lead, salt, and stone coal,
regions of this country, together with its direct communication with
the upper Red river, places this point above all others on the
Arkansas river, within our boundary. It would be well to say that,
in point of health, it surpasses any situation in the country, and
must, with little exertion, divide, if not command, the entire Santa
Fe and Chiitmahun trade.
In consequence of the late date of this advertisement, I now invite
gentlemen, merchants, mechanics, and others who may wish to become
interested, prior to the sale to make such arrangements and
improvements as they may require, on such lots as we may select,
with due respect in the general interest of the intended town; and
that such person or persons, making such improvement, shall be
entitled to such lot as be or the y may have improved, at the same
sum and price as the adjacent lots may sell for on the day of the
sale.

WAS committed to the jail of the county in Arkansas, in the State of
Arkansas, by M.L. Haller, Esq., a justice of the peace for the
county aforesaid, on the tenth day of October, (instant) a negro man
who calls his name Nathan; says he belongs to Samuel Guinn, of
Clinton, Mississippi, that he started from Vicksburg about the 10th
of July last, on board the steam-boat Paul Jones, for the purposes
of collecting cattle bought by his master of a Mr. Bois, at Island
No. 100, on the Mississippi, and was stolen by a white man, near to
the plantation of Mr. Bois. Said boy has a scar on his right hand,

The owner of said negro is hereby requested to come forward, prove
