5 situated Tn Crawford county, on the left A- bank of the Arkansas river, about five hundred and fifty miles from the Mississip- pI, by the course of the river, and few miles below the Indian boundary line. The im- mediate situation is picturesque and pleasing to the eye, easily approachable by the roads, unusually elevated for position on tils mar gin of the river-~indeed, a portion of the townste is high and commanding eminence with an abundant and nevcr-failing supply of the most palatable and the purest water. Steamboat navigation to this point, and for some distance above, is as safe and as sure as our river affords; its extension to any great distance above is preeaTioas, uncertain and not to be relied on.
 Van Buren has more extensive regions of back country to support 1t, beyond all shadow of competition, than any other point or place on this river, or ill the Territory, known to the Writer. The contiguous settlements of Lees creek and Frog Bayou have here their trade. The large, populous and agricultural county of Washington, in this Territory, must resort to Van Buren as the point of em- barkation for her produce, and must seek her supply Of essential articles from the same quarter; with equal truth, and with equal po- eitlveness, may the same remarks be made Va oootlA-NSSSSiit NttcsOtlt. st IdrIuly dQNuHt- ing Tn numbers, in means and in wants! To add another weghty item in the list of ad4 vantages, the projected United States road, now in train of execution, from Jackson. in lawrence county, by the county seat of Ezard and Washington, crosses tho Arkansas river at Van Buren.
 The proprietor invites the merchant, the mechanic, the capitalist generally, and all persons of enterprise and energy of charac- ter, to make investments in this town, con scious that they will meet with an early and adequate requitai for amount advanced or ex- ortion applied.
 he undersigned. being tho sole proprietor of this toan--the contract heretofore exist ing between him and the late Gen. Wm. Montgomery having been resciaded, and all disputes as to title from that and all other quarters fully adjusted and annulled---is now ready to dispose of lots, and give inaisputa- ble titles.
 Gentlemen wishing to invest money, or to locate Tn thriving new town, will do well to examine the superior natural advantages and plats of Van Buren, where lots are offer ed, at private sale, on very moderate terns. and on accommodating credits-and reduc- ton in price will be made to those making immediate improvements on their purchases

TOWN OF
O M A JR In. q

ezs3 e4e-A S=>S s-sez D TsHE proprietors will offer for sale, Lots l in the new town of OZARK, situated on the north bank lat the Great North Bend l of the Arkansas river, in latitude B degrees and 30 minutes, and longitude IT degrees, n the rich and populous county of Crawford, \. T. on the ia day of July, 1926.
 T ae site :s .sil feet ahese t n sghest nper- flcw,s commanding fine and picturesque view of the river, with two never failing springs of the purest water.
 In a commercial point of view, there is no situation, above the mouth of Arkansas, pos sessing more antages--surrounded by rich and fertile region, extending some 20 or 25 miles in length, by i5 or 20 in breadth, of the richest hickory barrens, tle most produc- tive cotton lands in the west of Arkansas.
 This point must command the trade of the fertile and populous counties of Washington and Carroll, and large portion of Crawford and Johnson.
 It Is little cast ofsouth from Fayetteville, the fiourshing county seat of Washington county, and by far the most practicable point for Carroll county, and the adjoining counties In Missouri. It's the great crossing from the western part of Missouri to Red river, and the most direct practicable route.
 1t IS a few miles below tho White Oak Shoals, the most difficult pass on the river. The merchants in the north western part of Arkansas would save freight and carriage by depositing at this place.
 i fine road will be completed this summer, direct from Fayetteville to Ozark, distance of 90 miles. The road from Ozark to Red ri- yer will also be repaired and made passable for carriages, S1c.
 The Lots will be laid off before the day of sale, and d plan exhibited. credit of 6. I2, IS and 24 months, will be given. In- disputable title will be made by the proprie- tors.
