AVOCA.
Tho Democratic caucus will bo held
In Herbert's hall this evening, when a
burgess, Justice of the peace, tax col
lector, and auditor will bo chosen.
Avoca has undergone n siege of bad
legislation during the fast few years
and the result Is a marked Indebted
ness, unpaid and underpaid teachers,
unsightly electric poles nnd poor side
walks. A council meeting every threo
months seems to be a necessary evil.
The man who remains nvvny from the
polls Is ns marked as tho one who goes
there nnd votes against his friend. The
caucuses are left In the hands of boys,
while the property holder remains awav
awaiting the news. He Is the one who
protests most loudly ngalnst high taxes,
yet does not put himself about to bet
ter this condition. A town of perhaps
4.DW) Inhabitants requires a little legis
lation and the lack of It Indicates do
cadence. Dr. Borge and Kdward Mui
phy are candidates for burgess: J. J.
Morahan and M. J. O'Malley for Jus
tice of tho pence; John Moore, Michael
Brogan, Edward Rcagnn nnd James
Hurley for tax collector. The primar

After disposing of the usual amount
of bills, the regular argument In re
gaid to tho electric light bill was dis
cussed. Mr. O'Boyle loudly protested
against tho amount of tho bill, calm
ing that tho company Is not comply
ing with the contiact and that seveial
lamps ate entiiely useless. Mr. Unw
ind, the electrician, was present and
'explained tho difficulties In operating
new nine hlnery, and this, together with
the extra work of extending their tenl
tory, caused some deficiency In the
lighting of the town, but that in the
nenr future everything would be llrst
class. As In all previous cases, the bill
was tabled.
Mis. James Motton cnteitalned a
party of friends at her home last
Thursday In honor of her forty-second
birthday, Tho day was pleasantly spent,

deted, as well us tho popular American

Wall Street Review.
New York, Jan. 13. The strictly profes
sional limits of the" trading on the Stock

almost complete obliteration of the

New York bankers to pluco lime loans

Great White Sale of Muslin Underwear
Notwithstanding the advance, on all goods, we have succeeded in getting together for this
sale a grand assortment of such values as have never been offered in any other previous sale.
We made arrangements for this sale away back during the last summer, when we were able to
dictate prices to manufacturers who were anxious to keep their machines running during a natur
ally quiet season. And the ceaseless industry of our weeks of work has culminated in merited
success.
We expect this sale to be the greatest we have ever had. Why ? Because money goes
furthest here because women can be really satisfied with the Underwear we sell. Our qualities
are what particular people want. Our prices are in perfect accord with the famous governing
principle of this business the lowest the very lowest, Whether ycu have a mite to spend or
a big amount, come here. The $5,00 garment is relatively as great a bargain as the one at 10c.
We consider the purse of the wage-earner and the security box of the capitalist in all our mer
chandising movements. The appeal is to the frugal and thrifty of every class.
The charm of our Muslin Underwear is in thGir daintiness, good taste, fair making, fullness of size and the sanitary conditions
under which we demand that the work shall be done. The one reason why you should buy at least a half year's supply right now
is that you save considerable. Judge by the Cambric Coiset Covers at 10c carefully finished, even to -the button-holes. Judge by
any garment that your trained eye will let you analyze. Plainer things are yours at about the cost of materials often less. The
daintiest pieces you couldn't begin to make at home for the pi ice, if you count your time as of any value. A seamstress, to do her
best, would run your costs double. "'" are ready. .
