REAL ESTATE--The business in this depart
ment has been rather quiet for this locality
during the past season. Still sales are being
made at fair figures. Considerable inquiry is
made for railroad land, on account of the long
time given for payment. Cheap lands are in
good demand, and we have more sales to re-
port In this branch of business, from our
knowledge Of such sales, as they are being
made adjacent to this county. At the present
time one will observe many improvements be-
ing made to property already improved, and
the small house which has been thought good
enough for the past, is being enlarged, and a
better class OF new buildings erected. Several
miles OF new sidewalks are now being put
down, which, taken with the macadamizing
being done ON Commercial street, will en-
nance the value of real estate in the near fn-
ture. The purchasing and improving OF forty
acres. immediately west Of town, IS the
grounds OF the A agricultural Society, is anoth-
er improvement that should not be lost sight
or The street is to be graded and somewhat
improved, which leads in that direction.
With the prospects Of another railroad, and in
view Of the many improvements that are be-
ing made, we shall predict n reasonable adj
vance in real estate in the near future. We
have the following transfers to report for the
week ending September 4th:

TEMPERANCE MEKTNG.-A temperance
meeting was held In the Methodist church, in
this city, on Sunday afternoon last. The at
tendance was tolerablY good. The object of
the meeting seems to have been to devise
means 20 nd the town Of its whisky shops,
and to agItate the question OF temperance
generally. Joshua Cowgirl presided. SeVe-
raj very good speeches were made, among
which we may mention those Of Prof. Hoss,
Reys. Averill, McCalla. Kelley, and Judge
PeytOn, Mayor Jay and S. b. Riggs.
Several plans were suggested, but we be-
lieve nothing definite was agreed upon. 1t
seems to us that Mr.. Jay hit upon the most
practical way to fight the whisky out of our
community, when he proposed to raise fund
and law them. 1t is reported that the whisky
interest has raised quite large gum Of money
for the purpose Of fighting the law suits. We
have upon our statute books . very stringent
liquor law. The question is, shall the whisky
sellers trample not only law but public senti-
ment under foot. In the handling Of suits
against them, we must say, without any in
tention OF blaming any one, that they have not
been prosecuted IS law suits are generally
prosecuted. There has been too much of the
''what Is eVerybody's business is nobody's
business disposition. Let a fund be raised
sutncient to induce lawyers to take hold Of
the matter IN earnest, and conduct the suits
with that care and energy with which they
conduct suits for clients generally. We be-
lieve the law is on the side Of temperance. It
certainly was so intended by the legislature.
The reason whisky men succeed in law suits
is that they conduct them in business way,
and are always well backed by greenbacks.
Let the other side initiate them in this respect.
We had better pay large sum Of money to
prosecute the whisky-sellsr, than to have our
town, which was so long almost entirely free
from the terrible influences OF whisky, blight
ed, through the long years Of the future, with
whisky shops and their debasing and disgrace
full effects. We hope there will be other
meetings like that Of Sabbath last, and that
the temperance people will not quietly give
up TO the brazen impotence OF the whisky
ring" Agitate and work.
