JACKSON AND WHITE VOTE DRY.

Majority 371 In Jackson and 1435 In White—Deleware Voted Yesterday. Judge Wasson denied a permanent restraining order in the White county local option election matter last Friday (although as near as we could make out by poor ’phone service at 1:30 p. m., Friday from the clerk at Delphi, the argument was still going on and no decision had been reachted) and the election was held Monday. ~ The drys polled 2572 votes and the wets 1,037, making a majority of 1435 for the drys. Monticello is in Union tp., and Wolcott is in Princeton tp. The only saloons in the county are two at Wolcott, which will now have to close in 90 days.
