[Fayetteville, Ark.] The Arkansian, August 31, 1860
A great number of people are emigrating from Texas, passing through our streets nearly every day. They have been driven thence by the scarcity of food and water. We always said that Texas was no place for the small farmer.
Owing to the watching paid all persons from Texas, these emigrants may fear trouble; but they need not apprehend any, for the honest man need fear nothing in this community.
