GAINESVILLE, ARK, May 25,

EDITOR VAN buren, Press Having
been one of the number of excursion
lists from Clarlisville to Van Buren,, on
the 23rd inst, and approaching the warm
and hearty reception given our people at
your beautiful town, and having enjoyed
and observed their open-hcarted hospi-
talities, their uniform courtesy and at
tention 10 our people, feel it u duty, as
well as privilege to make this public
acknowledgment for myself, and the
hundred others from GAINESVILLE, of our
party, in appreciation of the fattering
manner in which we were received and
treated by the good people of Van Bu-
rem. Such a people, in such town,
ought to prosper, as we sincerely hope
they will. There have been, for q long
time, ties between our towns and we are
proud that, by means of the rail, we can
so easily mingle together, and are now
surely neighbors. May your good peo-
pie have peace, prosperity and Christian
hope for their reward.
We had rs pleasant a trip home as
could he expected, considering the crowd,
| think our worthy conductor, Buckner,
must have felt a very great responsible
ty resting upon him, and he was very
careful indeed in running the train, and
we think he is the right man in the
right place.
1t is the universal talk, here, that sure
ly the good people of Crawford will not
think Of removing the county seat from
Van Buron, and the general expression
is that it would be difficult for them ever
to get such another beautiful courtyard
Our old-time citizens feel Il deep interest
in it, as there are many ties of sym
pathy between Van Buren, and Clarls-
ville-Johnson and Crawford. | was
pleased to notice the evidences of thrift
in the little town of Alma, in fact all
along the line of the railroad, and have
abundant reasons for bright hopes in the
future. | hope your internal strlfes
which are Of such recent origin, will
soon be blotted ont, as, also, the remem.

The Duel.

The Star-City Vidette gives us, below,
the only insight to the cause of the much
talked of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS duel we
have seen:
I" We learn that the quarrel which
nearly resulted in a duel between Col
Newman, OF the Press, and Mayor Rey
nods, of Pine Bluff, originated abou
statements in an article in the Press, in
which the Mayor was censured as comm
wing at gaming, and as being in some
way connected with keeping gambling
house. 1t is said that the challenge came
from Col Newman, and that Mr.. Rev
nolds selected double barreled shot guns
as weapons, and named ten PAGES as the
distance, while the hostile meeting was to
take place at Tcrrecne, Miss"
A duel, with double arreled shotguns
at ten PAGES. What farce.
The Van Buren press., 1877-05-29

We have not participated in the discus
sion that has been going on, for some
time in our state papers in regard to the
" Public Printing, including, particular
ly, assessors blanks, which we believe
the law now requires the county court to
furnish to the assessor The reason we
have said nothing, is that we did not want
the small job this county required, at the
price the State was paying for il in scrip.
Another reason is, that we did not see
the propriety of pitching into the Ga
zette for asking for the work. If there
is anybody that is to blame in the mat
ter II must be the county officials, whose
duty it is to have the work done, and
who ought to feel morally and legally
bound to give all the work to the county
papers that they are able and willing to
do.-B0onerHe Enterprise.
We agree with Bro. Moore, that if
there is any county printing sent away
from home, it is the fault of the county
officials, and not those who may bid for
it abroad. We venture to say there is
not paper that is complaining Of the
Gazette, but what would, il they could,
have bid for, and taken, the State de-
partment work at the Capital, from them.
We ought not to complain too much OF
those soliciting the printing legitimately
belonging to the county press, until the
citizens of the county are educated to
the fact that all printing that can be done
at home, should be. You can 90 into
hardly store in any of the towns of the
State, for the smallest article imaginable
to the highest, but what you will receive
it in dodger, with the imprint of some
st. Louis, Louisville, Memphis, or some
other printing establishment. When this
thing is recttied, we will not have SC
many halfstarved Newspapers in the ru.
raj districts.

Bro. Cummings, and his good lady, of
the Ozark Banner, honored our town on
the occasion OF the excursion, and this
is what they have to say:
| The Excursion train from GAINESVILLE
to Van Buren,, reached this place yester-
dav, at $3.50, having on aboard about 450
excursionists and at this place about
$50 more were added to the number.
Tue regular eastern-bound passenger
train was met at this point, and on board
was committee of gentlemen from Van
Buren,, consisting Of the following named
gentlemen, who met the excurslonlsts:
Hon. b. J. Brown, Col. Durham, Of the
" Press" Col. Wilcox, of the " Argus
and Dr. Pernot. At Mulberry Station and
Alma large number was added, making,
in all, when reaching Van Buren, about
$50 people. The eXcursionists were well
coined at the depot by Hon. jesse Tur-
ner, in behalf OF the citizens Of that town
in few appropriate and well-chosen re
marks. The good people of Van Buren,
who arc already noted for their generous
hospitality, fairly outdone Themselves on
this occasion. No pains or trouble were
spared by them to make their visitors
welcome, comfortable, and their brief
stay n pleasant one. Notwithstanding
the crowded condition OF the train, and
the excessive heat of the day, everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves; in fact the
enthusiastic reception Of the Van Buren,
ties, seemed to have the effect of causing
them to forget any Inconvenience they
may have experienced from the above
causes. Much credit is due Capt. j. W.
Buckner, conductor in charge of the
train, for the interest manifested, and
pains taken by him to add to the COM
fort of his passengers.
Owing to the delinquent tax-list which
we publish this week leave us but limit
ed space as we'll as time, consequently
are compelled to be brief, suffice TO say
that the cordial greeting, and generous
hospitality received by the cXcursionists
from the citizens of Van Buren, will pew
err be forgotten, and only adds to the en-
viablo reputation her citizens have al
ways enjoyed for hospitality. To host
of friends we are under many obligations
for courtesies extended to our self and
better half.

EDITOR Press: Apropos of the Court
House discussion, allow me to recall a
fact that occurred many years since.
About thirty-two or three years ago, the
Ozark Institute, near Fayetteville, in this
State, and then owned by Robt. W.
MackIin, and nearly, if not quite, com
pleted, was destroyed by fire. 1t was /.
large, brick building, two stories high,
and the woodwork was completely con-
sumed, leaving the walls standing. Ia a
short time the floor and roof were re
built to the same walls, with perfect safe
W and, OF course, to great pocuniary
saving This will, no doubt, be well
remembered by several of Crawford
county's citizens, who spent their school
days, partly, there.
Whether the court house walls, now
standing at Van Buren,, can be used
again, the writer leaves to more expert
enced judgments to decide he only Of
terS the above incident to show that very
hot fires do not, necessarily ruin brick
walls, an assertion to the contrary, with
out exception, having recently been
made in another paper in the comfy.
