Hi: Am forwarding this interesting article from the 1844 Van Buren newspaper just sent to the Crawford Co. mail list. Regards, Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com, INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com To: [unknown], INTERNET:ARCRAWFO-L@rootsweb.com Date: 7/17/00 7:05 PM RE: Arkansas Intelligencer February 17 1844 Arkansas Intelligencer, Van Buren, Crawford County, Arkansas February 17, 1844 POST OFFICES IN ARKANSAS-Our distant readers will hardly believe us when we tell them that there are only four Post Offices in Crawford County, covering an area of ten thousand square miles, and containing a population of 5,000 souls. Except for Fort Smith, our near neighbor, the nearest Post Offices to Van Buren, are 18 miles East, 31 miles West, 18 miles North, and 22 miles South. Both the latter are in the Indian Country. Facilities for propagating light and knowledge are truly very limited.
