Pine Bluff Bottling Works.
 The Pine Bluff Bottling Works recently moved next door to the Arlington Hotel and put in new and latest improved machinery, which now makes it the most modern and largest concern of it kind in the State.
 All of the soda water now manu- tactured by the Pine Bluff Bottling Works is made from pure distilled water, and it is the only soda water factory in the State making soda water out of distilled water, which should certainly give this concern the preference in its line. An arti- ele of this kind is a long felt want in Pine Bluff, and we are pleased to note that the enterprise is meeting with unprecedented prosperity, which it certainly deserves.
 The success of the enterprise is largely due to the industrious ef- forts of Mir w F. Imou. its mana- ger, whois now 6ottIioe aad ship ping soda water to all parts of the State.
 Mf. lmoa informs us that since the additions of new and improved machinery to his plant, he now has the largest and most complete soda water factory in the State.
 And when it is known and re- membered that this concern uses only pure distilled water in the manufacture of soda water, it will enjoy yet larger patronage and still greater prosperity.
