FRONT STREET HOUSE,
PINE BLUFF
THE proprietors of the Front street House, in the town of Pine
Bluff, having formed a cop-partnership in the establishment, promise
themselves a liberal share of public patronage, as they are using
every exertion to render their house comfortable, and are now making
extensive additions to the comforts and conveniences of the
establishment, and have opened their house to visitors, under the
superintendence of Mr. and Mrs. Redditt.
The liberal expenditures they have made, to add to the comforts and
conveniences of the place, justify them in promising every comfort
that can be expected, as no pains will be spared to furnish their
table with as good as the country affords, and at as reduced prices
as any other tavern in this place.

entered by John Davis, by him sold to Hubsch to me, which tract of
land never was entered by Davis. Therefore, I am determined not to
pay the said sum of one hundred and thirty dollars, unless compelled

TOWN OF NEWPORT
THE LOTS in this Town will be sold, at public auction, on the
premises, on the 8th day of November next, on a credit of twelve
months. Bonds and approved security will be required.
Newport is situate on White river, in Jackson county, State of
Arkansas, and, from the many advantages attending the location of
this town, it is presumed that capitalists will seek an investment,
to some extent, at least. The town is at the crossing of the main
United States Road, lately opened, from Memphis, Tenn., to
Batesville, Washington County, &c., to the Far West, and which is
much traveled. Steam boats of any burthen can ascend the river to
Newport, and the supplies for this flourishing section of country
are now furnished by that description of boats. For health and
fertility of soil, this town has no superior in this country; and,
for easy and safe navigation, White river has no superior and few
equals.
The proprietors will, without hesitation, say to foreigners and
those who wise to visit the west, that the rising prospects of this
section of country fully justify an investment of capital; and they
therefore invite all to call and see.

NOTICE
THE subscriber lost, off the steam boat, Wyoming, some time in the
latter part of July last, a small box of MEDICAL BOOKS, evidently
put off at some landing with other freight, through negligence of
the officers, between the mouth of the Arkansas river, and the town
of Ozark. It would be tedious and useless to give a catalogue of the
books, as Joseph Holson's or the subscriber's name is printed or
written in all or most of them. Whoever may have them in possession,
is humbly requested to forward them to Mapes, Ryan, & Co., Mouth of
Arkansas river, who will pay all reasonable charges on them.
