Larry,
 
Take a look at the next page (image 17 on AncestryLE).  At the bottom of 
that page someone is listed as what looks like "Hind Hand," but most likely 
is Hired Hand.

We are working on an 1880 census record from Prairie County Arkansas that 
lists "Hind" as the relationship for one gentleman to head of household.  
They are listed as boat builders, so we thought maybe he spent most of his 
time on the back end, but that doesn't make sense to be in the relationship 
field.  Also thought it might actually be "Hand", but it is clearly an i, 
not an a. 
Any suggestions?  It is Kenneth Thompson, living in the Steve Claycomb 
residence.
