George w. Pierce of Brattleboro is
n candidate for master of the Vermont
State grange to succeed Charles j. Bell
1t is said that Mr.. Bell will not be
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Pierce
is a good man and the fact that he lives
in BrattIeboro, the home of good men
and the incubator of political bees,
ought not to be used against him. As
a farmer as a granger, as legislator
and as president of the Valley Fair as
ISOLATION Mr.. Pierce has made good. He
would make a capable, energetic mas
ter of the grange and we hope his cleo
tion will be brought about.-Bellows
