Apparently there is something wrong in this community and unless it is soon corrected our people will be called upon to establish a Keelv Cure institution in Pine Bluff. It is fact that the solons of the city are becoming so popular that they are now attracting both men, beasts and birds. Yesterday an old mule delib- erately walked down Barraque street and into the whiskey house of NJ. Cans X O., presumably after rock andrye. This morning q number of gentlemen gathered on Main street noticed quail run down the sidewalk and boldly ent CT the and 10 cent saloon i'll the rear of the Merchants Exchange. We suggest that the present Legislature pass an act to prevent the sale or giving away of intoXicants to animals and birds. It does enough damage to
