TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

REAL ESTATE PROHIBITION. The number, of towns kept clear of the drink curse by prohibitory deeds is rapidly increasing. We have great faith in this style off prohibition, being a native of such a town, and, in consequence, never, saw a drunken man until eighteen years old, and then saw him on a Hudson River steamer. The dcw town of Harrey, eighteen miles out of Chicago, proposes to try this plag. In every deed is an iron clad provision that if alcohollo liquors' are ever manufactured, Bold or given away on any lot within its boundaries, said

lot shall revert, to tho company. The town is established fbV- manufacturing purposes, being the site of the great steel car works which will commence business with $1,000,000 paid up capital, and a thousand workmen. Other manufacturing plants will be put tin there, as their owners are wise enough to know that the absence of saloons increases the efficiency of their employees.—Union Signal.
