Four Have No Elections.
Strange as 1t may seem, four OF the
eleven towns of the county held no
school elections Monday. These were
Clemens, Gilman, Laurel, and Fergu-
son. In all but the last instance the
cause for there being no election was,
the samoa lack of candidates. No
one desirious of filling the office filed
his nomination in time to be consid-
cred at the election, consequently no
election were held.
At Ferguson the election was not
held from the fact that the Ferguson
district is still awaiting the supreme
court decision on consolidation. and
there ID no school or need OF any school
board until the decision Is reached.
