An exchange says: Local knights Tenn
plar are agitating the matter of forming a
commandery in Bellows Falls and if mat
tiers can be satisfactorily arranged it is
probable that an organization will be made
as soon as possible. There are about 40
members OF the order in the town. the ma
Ijority belonging to the communicates in
Brattleboro and Keene, and there are
considerable number in adjoining town,
who would find it much more convenient to
60 to Bellows Falls. The matter was
talked of several years ago and some action
taken, but for some reason the matter was
allowed to drop. Now the number of
members is considerably greater than it
was then, and the number to be con-
venienced correspondingly enlarged. 1t lis
thought that the communicates in Brattle-
boro and Windsor, which now hold iuris-
dlction over that territory, would not
oppose the project"
