We often are gratifed with references which
we find in our Northern exchanges 10 what
are literally, ia that section OF country, Tenn
perance Towns; and i; is not the less crafty
ing that in this land of comparatively unsteady
habits, we have happily laid eyes upon like
bright spot, The village Of Tennally Town, a
few miles above Georgetown, has lately, we
learn, through the praseworhy and perseyer-
ing efforts OF few noble advocates Of our holy
cause, been entirely converted into the smiling
abode Of peaceful Temperance. Almost every
man in its precincts and vicinity has become
Temperance man, and daily evince their ear
nest enthusiasm ia the good work by combined
efforts for its propagation. Old men, who
have been enslaved in drunkenness for years
and years there, have been newly born the
healthy children Of Temperance; and the only
dram seller in the place has been sadly made
to feel that his s'occupalion's gone" He, in
deed, appears to be the only man who does
not rejoice in the reformation, and so chra.
grined is he, that he even refuses TO those
whom he has SO long heeced Of their substance,





the poor privilege Of using the cool wafer which
bountifuly flows at his door. Consequently,
the Temperance men, we learn, (pityng his
fra1ty,) are about to thwart his animosty by
sinking pump Immediately in sight, where
all may freely quench the fire OF thirst, full
strong enough in every man, without the add
ed fuel of alcohol We understand that the
individuals who have been principally instru-
mental in SO successfully planting our broad
banner Of Freedom TO Man upon the heights OF
this little Town, are about as bold and strenu-
Gus an effort upon another small town farther
up, and they hope with equal success. Their
motto is one common to the present day. "Pro-
greH-P Progress'-a motto more honorable up
on the banners of philanthropc Temperance
men, than in the mouths of many others who
assume it. We only hope that many others
may be animated 10 similar efforts, and we
doubt not that soon Temperance town in
this city will not be novelty
