10 SALOONS IN UNION TP.

Applicants Give Up the Fight and Will Make No Further Effort to Gain a Foothold There. The anti-saloon people of Parr have filed a remonstrance containing the names of 198 voters, 89 more than the necessary majority, thus insuring that Union tp., will be dry for two more years at least J. M. Conway, the Parr applicant has sold his building to Ed Price of that place for 81,050, and will move away. Mr. Price will put in a stock of dry goods and merchandise, we understand. Charles Gundy, the Fair Oaks applicant, has also given up the fight, it is said, and will make no further effort to secure a license. While the conditions in some of the “dry” towns are not all that could be desired, yet a good majority of the people seem to think that present conditions are much preferable to those prevailing when they had saloons, judging from the Increased majorities which the remonstrators almost invariably roll up.
