Saloonless Earl Park Not Basted.

Goodland Herald: A number of exchanges have been publishing long articles stating that the town ot Earl Park has gone bankrupt since the saloons had been driven out and the revenue from. there had been stopped. The Earl Park Gazette says that this is untrue, that the town has never been so free of debt in its existence. The claimed depreciation in the value of property because the sa loons are out is not true. The merchants are enjoying as large a trade as they ever were. And since the saloons have gone a man over there offers to be marshal for $25 a month, as the work will be much lighter.
