Nita: Try NAIL at: http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html which is an Info locator for the National Archives. I found some criminal cases at the Ft. Smith Court so maybe it will also have civil cases. I believe this site is adding records all the time. I would think the county historian for Sebastian Co. should have some idea where those original records are kept - or some idea as to where a microfilm copy may be found. You can send a letter to Sebastian County Historian, c/o Local Postmaster, Ft. Smith, AR - (don't know the zip) and see if the historian has any ideas as to where this record may be found.
