done good in the way OF stoppins

Alabama has very stringent laws
regarding the matter, and the mem

of work animals, as well as tortur
ing other kinds, There is no town
in the land but what should have
such an organization, and l have
no doubt but the president Of the
Mobile society, Hon. Rufus Dane,
would furnish any and all infOrma-

The famous Mobile Rifles have
reelected their old popular com
mander, Price Williams Captain,
aud we trust they will again have

from which you get your first aud

hotel and its surroundings. AS we
walked up the wharf, with a popu-

talk, and were OF all sizes, and
some were brown, ana some were

curious broad covering to their
heads, quite different from ANY pie
