New Associate Judge Appointed.

Gov. Bell has appointed George T.
Eastman of Walden associate Judge for
Caledonia county to succeed Judge D. E.
Ruggles, deceased. Mr.. Eastman rep
resented his town in the 1900 Legislature
and has been town clerk and Treasurer
for 20 years. He is younger man than
generally fills this position, but his ap.
pointment gives universal satisfaction
and he ought to be nominated to succeed
himself when the county convention is
held in 1906. In this connection it is
interesting to note that the last assist,
ant Judge from Walden was Serene
Montgomery. who served from 1860 to
1862, while Governor Bells father
James D. Bell, held the office from 1849
to 1850 and again from 1858 to 1865.
