Jan, you should realize this list is dead and these requests for a newsletter are the best thing to show up on this list. You need to take your iron hand and use it in a more useful place. I don't know what your objective is as manager of this list, but I do swear you need to take lessons from others. You killed this list by your restrictions,and as most folks think of you....you want to be the power person and that does nothing good for folks wanting to research their Arkansas families. This should be a casual list where folks feel free to ask questions, wether they are stupid or not....this should be a list where folks feel free to come home to............but you cut them off at the draw and this is why AFHA has shoved you into the background...........folks now think of Arkansas History as the AFHA list, not the original AGS list............you have buried yourself and many others in a hole where they don't feel comfortable asking questions, answering questions, or simply making crazy statements. You come across as the leader, yet you don't seem to have any leading ability when it comes to folks just wanting to "know."

I do so love those articles from Fran. They are so much fun to read.

Please let me know if these news items are being sent to the wrong lists. February 5, 1886 The heaviest snow that this part of the Nation ever saw within the memory of man fell last Monday night, Tuesday and Tuesday night. The fall measuring 20 inches on the level prairie. The roads are almost impassable and stock of all kids are suffering to a great extent. LOCAL ITEMS No mails since Monday. Valentine's day next Sunday week. Wolves are reported in large numbers near this place. The public schools of the Nation open the summer session next Monday. It is said that Captain J L Smith wants to sell out and move back to Alabama. Mr. James Stapler's wagon shed shelters all the vagrant stock around town. On Monday night and Tuesday forenoon the snow fell to a depth of 22 to 24 inches. Mrs. Blue Foreman has been dangerously ill during the past week but is now convalescent. Deputy High Sheriff, Caleb Starr, has resigned and Dick Robinson now officiates in his stead. Wm Fields who was shot by Wm Boot in Canadian District some time ago is not expected to live. Two "trusts" of the National Prison succeed in stealing from __________ who was as mad a wet hen in consequence. It is said now that Frank Adair and Mrs. Gus Ivey will teach the Tahlequah Public School the coming session. Mr. Blue Alberty put in most of the day Wednesday trying to resurrect his wood pile a buried ax from under the snow. Captain Smith don't want his friends to think because he has been in bed for the past day or two, he is sick. Because he isn't. He is out of wood. Some of the young men of Tahlequah have purchased some Cherokee Testaments and hymn books for the use of the prisoners at the National Prison. The trial of George McDaniel and Levi Christie set for last Monday in Illinois District was again postponed on account of inclement weather, until the 8th. Caleb Starr while searching for whiskey in a little house of not very savory repute on the Tahlequah spring branch came across a pistol that had been stolen from him about a month ago. George Mitchell and Mr. Vann Edmondson left the National Hotel this morning in a wagon with four horses hitched to it, bound for Beatie's Prairie. They expect to be two days getting home. Mr. Oce P Daniel of Park Hill had a horse stolen out of his stable one night last week. As it was taken the night after the escape of a convict, the presumption is, that rode off Oce's horse. Mr. James W McSpadden has been recuperating at home for the past week or so preparatory to another year's work in town. He will commence with Mr. Robert French about the 1st present month. Mr. Van Edmonson, one of the most substantial farmers and stockmen of Batie's Prairie, was in town two or three days this week on business connected with the contracts for furnishing the supplies of each of the Seminaries and the Orphan Asylum. Mr. James Stapler informs us that as soon as the weather will permit, the Telephone Company, with which he is connected, will commence the erection of the line from this place to Muscogee and push it to completion at the earliest possible date. Your reporter went out day before yesterday to kill some more deer, but got lost in the snow. But for the sagacity of the horse his chances would have been good to have laid out all night. He finally landed at Rev. Lacy Hawkin's where he spent the night. Professor J H Covel the Orphan Asylum writes us as to the general prosperity of that section of the Nation and renews his subscription to the Advocate with an encouraging word. Thanks, many thanks, old boy, may this world appreciate you and treat you accordingly. Judge "Red" Watt Adair, the father of Aunt Betsy (Judge Tim Walker's wife) and Mont Adair, used to live in Flint District. Once, when Aunt Betsy and her older brother Warren, were young folks, they went on a visit to Baties's Prairie. They happened to stay two or three days over their time. On their return, their father, the Judge, without saying anything to the delinquents, promptly gave each of the ponies, ridden by them, a thrashing. Admonishing them (the ponies) meantime on the evil of straying away from home longer than the appointed time. Mr. John Brown Sheriff of Illinois District was shot and wounded last Monday night at the Illinois Court House by a man named Cloud whom the sheriff was trying to disarm for disorderly conduct. About 9 o'clock at night the Sheriff's attention was called to whooping and shooting on the road north of the Court House- Summoning two men Mr. Brown went to disarm the parties and succeeded in securing one pistol and was in the act of disarming Cloud when he was shot, the ball taking the middle finger of the left hand off at the second joint and severely wounding the third finger. The sheriff and one of his posse Johnny Fields immediately returned the fire though with what effect was not ascertained until the next morning when Cloud was found to have been hit twice, once in the ankle and once through the body near the left hip bone. The night was very dark and it was impossible to distinguish several parties who were with Cloud and two of whom also fired upon the Sheriff and guard J! ohnny Fields getting two bullets through his clothing. Mr. Brown is now at this place receiving medical attention. When last heard from Cloud was in a precarious condition.

December 4, 1885 THE CHEROKEE ADVOCATE PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING TAHLEQUAH CHEROKEE NATION TERMS: ONE DOLLAR A YEAR INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE.

JORDAN: I am desparately seeking my great grandfather ............JORDAN who was married to Maggie Belle Lee ca 1888. My grandmother, Annie Belle Jordan, was born Oct 13, 1889. She was always told in North Little Rock, but Maggie's family came from Hinds CO MS to Drew CO MS in 1870. There were many Jordan's around her that she could have married. The problem is that due to family history the story goes that......Possibly, John Jordan, was to have died in a horse back riding accident so someone may just have him as a son, but not with his wife and child. There has to be someone who knows something for the book A History of Drew Co Ar is full of many, many people that are kin down to people that are living now in many parts of AR today. I would appreciate any help that I can get. My grandmother on her mother's side were McManus,Bedwell, Nicholson, Ferguson, Wolfe, etc. Her mother's sister Dora Lee McManus and daughters? came to visit my grandmother in the late 60 early 70's ??? I think they could have lived in El Paso for my grandmother went to visit them after they came.
