"eSS 'he lively interest taken by the community,
In the project of constructing Turnpike Road,
over the Boston Mountain, from Van Buren, 10
Fayetteville. 1t is reasonable to believe that a
good road once opened to the Champagne coun.
try north Of that great mountain barrier, will
render convenient, Communication with an i'm.
mense back country, distinguished for the fertIi.
~ OF The lands, and industry Of lis Inhabitants.
Inc facilities of communication as near as FAY.
e1teve, are already within the reach of the
southwestern counties Of Missouri and north.
western Arkansas. The country is admirable
for travelling, and the roads will rank with those
OF any other country.


We have been shown letters from citizens of
Newton, Jasper, Lawrence and Barry counties,
IN Missouri, which assure US that if good roads
are constructed over Boston Mountain, we will
secure profitable aud permanent trade from that
quarter.


Van Buren is many miles the nearest point on
navigation, TO those counties, and at Ieus, 1000
miles nearear to New Orleans, than Boonvie.

100 miles farther, and in northern and colder
climate, than Van Buren-a point mo re accessi.

and which is on a river never rendered unnavi-

preference is given to this point, by the en-.
terprisng citizens of south.weste Missouri, an
evidence Of which is before our eyes, weekly, in
the persons and teams from that country; and
nothing but good turnpike road to Fayetteville
Is wanted, to brlhg the proof Of that fact to the
senses Of every one.


10 those who interested in tho welfare Of
this young city. we nppeal-to the merchant, the
mechanic, and the lawyer, whose prosperity is
dependent upon that of Van Buren-,o come up
in proper spirit, and enlist in this contemplated

repay them so well. 1t will not only yield a good
interest upon their stock, but will doubIy enhance

whose prolific soil produces so large share of
the best necessaries for mans comfort, but who
are destitute of a market at home, and dislan,
