nunJ neeuliarly to the interests of Fort Smith,
"os'o i have seen additional motive why the
enu -. of Van Buren, should stir up the question
ci!ll'n ca roods. The "Herald" makes no bones
" ,,;no Fort Smith is the most accessible and
o. ssst route from this region to Texas and Lou
n:aI !N;an,I and that should spur you up to talking
lsa Ian, the road to Van Buren, and talk in such
as "" ,bat we shall see people take interest IN
wy W.. If such moment to US and you, OF turnpike
s'sp Is from the Missouri line to Van Buren.


". like 10 see competition, and trust your Fort
vi, neiphbors will compel you to ''do the
s.ndsome Sn, hing" in the way Of advocating turn
n;hs roads and giving our farmers good prices

N.nnst,on, ~. up here. bu, as Van Buren is our
e.ar;t, place and on this side of the river, we
.SvI stick to you if you will only stick to US, and
y. 90 GOOD roads made so that we can get our
nroduce down to you.
PSS Since wrote last, have mudo enquiries OF
~ farmers what they thought Of the Bridge
I"La1,s n a, Van Buren,: the invariable reply was,
.ba, there was nothing to cross such bridge, and
NV rscessty for it, until roads were made SO that
:, w .ouId he got at. Were good roads made from
Vsu Ruten up the State line in the direction of
s.o,,s mills, to great turnpike in the direction of
Surno6sd. Mo-, and road in the direction of
Hnn,syille, and other directions in the State and
Cherokee nation, then you might safely and
nro6ubly build bridge. If such turnpike
eouId bs started from Van Buren, to the Missouri
fIine, Straightforward. have no hesitation in
v;ng that the farmers in all this section would,
nv taking stock or otherwise, do their utmost to
