The Pine Bluff Board of Health should maintain Q strict and rigid quarantine against, Memphis, and all other infected yellow fever points. At tbls time Q great re sponsibility rests upon the Board of Health, and should yellow fever make access 10 Pine Bluff, public in- dignation against the Board would know no bounds, Therefore, the Board owes it to themselves and to the people to exert their every ef- fort in the prevention of the dread malady from reaching this place. Just one case of yellow fever here would not oaly play havoc with our business interests, but greatly frighten and alarm the people. Let the Board of Health, therefore, maintain a strict quarantine, in which effort they should have the hearty cooperation of all officers and citizens. regardless of persons or parties.

MR. HUGH r. REAGAN, editor of the Fayetteville Sestine1, was q visitor to Pine Bluff during Fair week, and here's what he has to say about our enterprise:
 'The Jefferson County Fair at Pine Bluff was the great attraction of Central and East Arkansas last week. It was q grand affair and the best known in the State for many years. The President, W. H. Langford, was its life and soul, aud he deserves the credit of it. Lang ford was educated at the A. l.
