Like many of the towns in this vi
cinity it was the purpose of the peo
ple of Avoca to hold a caucus and
place in nomination two times as
many candidates as it was necessary
to elect officers and when the call
v. a3 issued there was no-, response,
and there was also no time to call an
other caucus. So there you are. The
time for the election came on and
when the election was held there was
no candidates to be voted for and
each had to select the ones he want
ed and so the election went merrily
on. The saloon was closed in accord
ance with the law. We have not been
advised as to the results.
