CR|CSbY SLATED BY DEMOCRATS
 HEAD TICKET

It seems to be generally understood in Democratic circles that George B. Grigsby, of Nome, will secure the nomination for delegate to Congress at the coming territorial convention. which will likely be held at Seward early in the spring.
 MT. Grigsby was formerly district attorney of the Second division under the Republican administration, but claims to have always been a Demo crat. Since he lost his office owing to his independence and his refusal to do what the powers asked him to do he has been identified with the Democratic party in Nome, and was one of the strongest supporters, of Robert Jennings in the last election but one. Indeed, Grigsby was slated then for a place and would probably have received it were it not for the fact that the administration took 1t upon itself to send carpet-baggers.
 Grigsby occupies a position politi- cally similar to that of Marshal F. R. Brenneman, of Valdez. When Bren- neman was appointed United States marshal everyone thought him a Re publican because he held office under Republican administration, but Mar shall, who is now vice-president, knew Brenneman when the latter took an active part in Democratic politics outside. The same may be true of Shorthill, secretary of the governor whom everyone thought Republican but who declares that the only presi- dent he ever voted for was William Jennings Bryan.

LONDON, Dec. 23. - There is to be no age limit for generals in the British army, says a statement from Premier Asquith. He proposes, on the other hand, to displace them whenever they show signs of senility, whether their ages be forty or eighty.
 Ut is not possible" remarks MT. Asquith, "to institute any hard and fast rule as to an age limit for off cers in command of divisions, but it will be our aim to appoint those of ficers whose mental and physical qualifications are most suitable. Some men age sooner and some later than others"

VERMONT STATE HORTICULTU-

The annual meeting of the Vermont
State Horticultural society at Morris
vile last week was chai acterized by
much enthusiasm on the part of those
present, and all were interested in an
unusually good program.
Mr.. j. f. Crane, and Mr.. C. l.. With
erell of Cornwall were among the Ver-
mont speakers, and from other States
were Prof. F. A. Waugh of Amherst,
Prof. Gourley of Durham, N. H., and

Mr.. Taylor of the Greater Vermont
Association work gave splendid talk
on cooperation and the vital necessity
of Verm1nters working together for the
good of the State, and for the advertis-
ing and marketing of Vermont products.
The society is doing such good work
that all who are interested in farm OF
orchard pursuits should belong to it for
every meeting is an inspiration, and the
exhibits and competitions are great
attraction.
Mr.. Witherell took first prize on his
Winter Banana and Delicious apples,
and Mrs. d. C. Noble two frsts anc
three second prizes, and the second prize
for the best plate collection of apples.
