MAKES PROPOSITION TO THE TEMPERANCE PEOPLE.

J. H. Conway, the former saloonist at Parr and -who has given notice of his intention to apply for a license at the April term of commissioners’ court, has written The Democrat as follows: "If the temperance people will purchase my building, by taking stock or otherwise, I will sell reasonable and thereby save them much expense and labor. I will dispose of the fixtures otherwise. If they will follow this suggestion there will be no more saloons at Parr. Another condition is: If lam allowed to get license without fight or expense I will run my place strictly according to law and will allow my building to be sold any time at what outsiders appraise it at. All I want is to have a chance to be rid of my property. “I have run a store, not infringing on the other store-keepers’ rights. The people of Parr have patronized me very well but outsiders have not. I have tried to make expenses without going into the saloon business and have failed. All I want is a fair chance.”
