Here is a 75 cent note, Rothert 187-3, issued by the Bank of Dixie. This was an unchartered small bank which operated for a brief time in Fayetteville. The signer of the note is W.L. (Washington Lafayette) Wilson, an early merchant and legislator in Fayetteville. He was also with the Fayetteville branch of the Bank of the State of Arkansas in the late 1830's, and his signature appears on some notes from that branch as president.

This example is the Rothert plate note for this issue.

Here is a $2 note from a merchant that was in a consortium with other merchants where they honored other members' scrip. This particular note is from Stirman & Dickson in Fayetteville, and you can see the other places where this note could be redeemed. I have notes from most of those other merchants which I've shared previously.

This note was printed on the backs of 25 cent notes issued by the Corporation of the City of Fayetteville in 1842.
