SALOONS MUST GO.

Morocco Courier: The application of George Shafer for a saloon license for Morocco before the board of Commissioners last Monday brought forth a remonstrance from the temperance people, of such an extent that the commissioners refused to grant the license. The remonstrance was of the blanket form and will hold good against all saloons now in the town or those who may hereafter apply for a license to open one, within the next two years. This means that the lid will be put on and screwed down fast next April when the licenses of Patsy Wall and Frank Cory shall expire. Morocco will try the dry town idea for awhile at least, and from the reports that come from towns where it has been previously tried, will without doubt desire to perpetuate it. Murray’s Great Removal Sale commenced Nov, 6th; 10, 15 and 20 per cent off on men’s, boys’ and children’s overcoats, suits and pants, ladies’, misses and childrens cloaks, carpets, blankets lace curtains, dress goods and all kinds of underwear.
