KNIGHTS OF THE CLEAVER. -0 nee
more the local butchers won many de-
served compliments iu connection with
the splendid Christmas display of meats
at their respective shops. The exhibits
encompassed almost everytltiug along
the line represented and with evergreens
and other decoration gave ample evi.
dence of ability to please the fancy and
tickle the palate of almost any nationality
from the iohn Bull beeves up or down
Which ever way you enumerate. Or•
dinarily the customers of Brussels
butchers fare well but at the Christmas
tide they take as their motto "Excel-
sior." The chief trouble with the
majority is good things are so super-
abundant at this season of the year that
the true appraisement may not be pro
party appreciated. At Bseker Bros.
there was included a heifer fed by
Duncan Taylor, Grey, dressed 6ro
pounds ; a heifer fed'by Jno McIntosh,
tirey, dressed 627 pounds ; 2 heifers, fed
by A. McKee, of Ethel, dressing toss ;
2 lambs purchased from D. Robertson
and J. Burgess, Grey ; 4 pigs between 8
and 9 mouths old that dressed 1025
pounds, fed by A. McIntosh, of
Grey, '1 hen there was poultry, hams,
headcheese, bologna, smoked meats and
pigs feet and all kinds of meat puddings,
&c. &c , neatly labelled so that the on-
looker was let into the mystery of giving
them their proper place. A mirror set
off the window with the seasonable wish
"Merry Christmas," Backer Bros
never made a more attractive display,
John Currie took great pains in the
preparation of one of the finest displays
ever made in Brussels. It was composed
of the following: -2 heifers led by Herb
Kirkby, Mortis, dressing 670 and 655
pounds; heifer fed by Alex. Buchanan,
Grey, dressed 585 pounds ; heifer rising
2 year old, fed by Frank Martin, Sun-
shine, dressed 460 pounds ; heifer fed
by George Kerr, Morris, dressed 630
pounds; heifer fed by A.' 'P. Currie,
butcher, dressed 650 peunds 1 4 pigs, 5
mouths old, fed by Mark Cercliff,.Morris,
dressed 65o pounds ;` pig fed by John

Nomination Day.
Following are some of the results of
last Monday's Menioipatl Nomina-
tion :-
BRUSSELS
Monday evening a goodly numhar
of ratepayers assembled in the Town
Hall for the annual nomination of
Municipal Council Board and three
Public School trustees. The legal
hour was well nigh spent before muds
was done. Following were nominat-
ed :-Reeve, Jno. Leckie, proposed by
Geo. Muldoon and A. O. Dames. El-
ected by acclamation. Councillors
D. A. Lowry, F. Downing, Jas. Jones,
A. Banker, A. 0. 'Dames and P.
Amcnt. School Trustees, T. Farrow,
J. G. Skene and M. 11. Moore, V. S., -
re -elected by acclamation. Messrs.
Backer and Downing declining to
stand the Council was elected by ac-
clamation and consequently the town
treasury is ahead $30.00 No one
appeared to be very anxious for office
for which there is no financial remun-
eration and very little thanks When
the very best efforts are put forth to
better the condition of the place. Re-
turning officer Scutt was chosen chair-
man and short speeches were made by
Reeve Leckie, D. A. Lowry, A. 0.
Dames, T. Farrow, M. H. Moore. The
first mentioned dealt with 00. Council
matters and also the affairs of the
town. Mr. Lowry returned thanks
for past hopors and agreed to do his
duty if returned, 141r. Dames was not
hunting honors, thought the street
electric lights needed sprucing up and
criticised the Co. Council's action in
raising salaries of officials. An inter-
esting resume of the town school his-
tory was given by Chairman Farrow.
It's record is well worthy of commen-
dation and the advantages afforded
should be highly valued and used gen-
erously by the people of the commun-
ity. M. H. Moore returned thanks
for his acclamation re-election. The
ratepayers were asked to express thoh'
opinions on local industries in the ab-
sence of the other eoutinees. The ed-
itor of THE POST thought Brussels
had much to congratulate herself ou
in her local industries as compared
with other towns and urged encour-
agement and development. Before
resuming his seat he moved, seconded
by Mr. Leckie that we regret exceed-
ingly the illness of J. G. Skene, who
so faithfully has discharged his duties
as a member of the School Board and
hope his health may be restored. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.
A vote was taken at the request of
the Reeve as to the feeling of the rate-
payers relative to opening of negotia-
tions for the establishment of a mach-
ine shop and fire extinguisher factory.
Nearly all stood up iu expression of
favoring -the idea. Tho chairman
spoke of the advisability of taking
hold of the rural telephone. Meeting ,
closed in good time and with the
thou ht that Brussels was no back
numller. Brussels Conned for 1909
will consequently consist of Reeve
Leckie and Councillors Tones, Lowry,
Dames and Ament who should fill the
bill. All are business men who know
.how to plan and push iu their respec-
tive lines and with the exception of
Mr. Ainent all have had more or less
experience in inunoipal affairs. Mr..
Dames sat at Grev township Board
and in Huron Oo. bouncil as Deputy
Reeve. We look for something doing
in 1909.
