Gadsden, January 19.-(Special) J. Real estate in the city has suddenly taken on an unusual activity and the dealers are busy in executing orders. All of the men trgaged in this occu- patton are exceptionally busy and all agree that things look brighter in their line than for a long time One of the best sales to be made recently IS the transfer of 3 half interest ill the Brown and Hagin corner, Broad and Fifth streets, for s16,000. This is two-story brick building measuring 26x125 feet.

 The governors message and the evil dent purpose of the legislature of en- acting legislation that will permit the return or the saloon has stirred things up somewhat in this city It is realiza1 that If such legislation is once started and under discussion that a city thc size of this. with many residents who are Ill favor of the traffic, will always pc included in any programme fatherad py the liquor leaders. The yoyerno-.s recommendation that only cities of over 5000 population have the saloon restq Is small consolation because a. sho" now easily slight change could be made that would includa a,, municipalities of the 10000 class. Tn vle" or the open attitude of the gov e'hor Tn favor of a licensed traffic anS .ne majority in the legislature who will. loiiow his leadership the people ,f 1aasden will not feel secure until inc matter Is finally adjusted.
