Description
This is a sworn statement from William Woodruff, editor of the Arkansas Gazette, stating that the advertisement for the defendants, Bernard Rogan and Jesse Check, to appear in court ran for nine consecutive weeks in the newspaper.
Biographical/Historical Note
The Arkansas Gazette was established in 1819 by William E. Woodruff. The Gazette was appointed as the public printer of the federal government for the Territory of Arkansas. This meant, among other things, that public advertisement of court cases was published in the Gazette. When Bernard Rogan and Jesse Check failed to appear at their foreclosure hearing, William Hix's attorney filed to have the case advertised. Upon approval of the court, the ad was run for nine weeks, warning Rogan and Check to appear in the next term of court.
