Grange Notes.

The debate at Grange hall on
Tuesday evening, March LIST, did
honor to the old town in which it
was held.
Brother Walter E. Perkins led
off, and in concise and scholarly
way showed the advantages coming
to an agricultural district, when
farming is carried on in a scientific
manner. He substantiated his
statements by numerous illustra-
tions, the truth of which could not
be controverted.
Brother Elbridge Perry following
did not dispute the advantages of
this education but thought that the
town was not yet quite ready to
take the matter up.
Others followed in the debate, and
many timely ideas were advanced.
On March 10 the following SUBJ
ject will be discussed: Resolved
that Lee was a greater man than
Grant, during the Civil war"
This debate will be led by Brother
Clarence Markham and Sister Mar
jorie Taylor, who have recently been
looking the matter up in their high
school work
We have heard also, aud it has
not yet been disputed, that on that
evening "The Campbells are comm,

hand in annual town meetings as a
rule, but occasionally there is a
warming up for coming battles at
the polls. And this is not an "off
year."
Barnard has not had representa-
tive in the state senate for 80 years,
and at the election Tuesday the cam
paign for the nomination on the
Republican ticket of Edward Miller,
the well known merchant of that
town, as one of the two senator's from
this end of Windsor county, was in
formally opened. Mr.. Miller has
had some legislative experience and
is a man of much influence in his
town, having held all the important
Offices in the gift of the voters,
Barnard certainly has claims to recog-
milton after all these years. during
which the modesty of her capable
men has kept them in the back
ground. Now the citizens of the town
by Silver lake think the town should
be represented in the senate, and
they believe they have very accepta-

One of Prouty's Mistakes
Editor of The Age:

EDITOR OF Inc Age:
Governor George Fl. Prouty ad-
dressed the Vermont Veterans asso-
citation at their 22nd banquet at
Young's hotel, Boston, on the even
ing of February 22nd.
Among other things he said,
according to the report in the Boston
Herald, was the following:
"We ought not to forget that the
men down south were rebels, for
that is just what they were" He
said other things which should call
ridiculous if it were not for the fact
that they were spoken by the chief
magistrate of our state.
To think that governor of Ver-
mont should wave ON high the
bloody shirt" in these enlightened
days. when the Ratchet has been
buried many year, and the north,
south, east and west are welded into
one great and united nation; when
the boys that wore the blue and the
boys that wore the gray are ready to
stand shoulder to shoulder, whether
it be in peace or in war Let us
pray that in the future the governors
of Vermont by word and deed will
do the best that in them lies to hold
to this comradeship forever.
