Having worked in public relations for some years, Fran, I would agree that keeping your name in front of people from time to time is very good! HOWEVER, don't stop what you are doing. It is so helpful to those of us out here!! Keep up the great work! It is wonderful. (You can always find a way to remind us of your project as time goes by - even when it is 'completed'....that's 'spose to be a joke. ha Cuz Joyce -----Original Message----- From: Fran Warren [mailto:alverson@valuelinx.net] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 8:29 AM To: AR-OLD-NEWSPAPERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AR-OLD-NEWS] Van Buren Presss, April 20, 1889 April 20, 1889 BURNING OF THE IZARD COURT HOUSE Melbourne, April 11.- In the burning of the Court-house Thursday morning all the records and other public documents from the formation of Izard County to the present were destroyed. The citizens were wrapt in slumber and the fire was not discovered until the whole building was in flames and too late to save anything. The law offices of Hauley & Ashley and S. W. Woods were in the Court-house, and their libraries, worth about $700, are a total loss. Circuit Court has been in session this week, but will have to suspend business, except the Grand Jury, which will perhaps put in some time in investigating the cause of the fire- there being little doubt it was the work of an incendiary. The contract had just been let for the building of a fire-proof Clerk's office, and work was to have begun on same in a few days.
