HIDING IN NEW FORD.
Messrs. WF; I -I, Robertson of the
Goderich ,Signal and W. F. Naftel of
the Star- were in town yesterday
morning, having ridden down in one
of the new Ford ears, which the deal-
ers were demonstrating.
It is a very nicelooking ear, low-
b'odied'and graceful,,; this one being
of a warm, soft grey, desert :sand, it
is called. The'tnodel is -about as much
unlike the old, Ford. car as anything
could well be, which was of course,
Ford's idea Whethez it will fill
as
large a place in the'lives of co m
el
people -as.the old one has done re-
maine to be seen.
What struck us, as pretty soft.was
the fact that Messrs. Robertson and
Naftel were gallivanting around in
the. new Ford car while eve, were 'slav-
nig away getting out this special edi-
tion. However, Christmas comes in a
week or so and maybe Santa. Claus
mill have something extra ;for our
.stocking.

THE NEW A
PP T
ON M
T ENTS,
The two appointments pp exciting the
most interest both inside and outside
the County Counsel, which concluded
its sessions last week, were the ap-
pointments to the county treasurer
ship, made vacant by the resignation,
of Mi -Wilkins Lane, after a service
of thirty-six years, first as clerk and
letterlyas treasurer, and that of in-
spector of the Huron County Home,
rendered vacant by the resignation
of IVIr. John Torraneb of Clinton,
After a set'vice of twenty-three years.
The first appointment went to Mr.
Gordon Young, ent-reevet of 'Colborne
township, who resigned the :eotintY
auditorsltip to accept, the latter went
to Mr. J, M...Govenloek of Seaforth,
ex -reeve of McKillop and,for one term
a member of. the Provincial Legisla-
ture, representing South Huorn.
The treasurership carries with it a
saltiry of $1,500, the iuspeotorsi;ip one
of $800.
The appointees. Were chosen by bale`
let at n eoln eifi,tee_ meeting of the
whole council on Thursday afternoon,,
the two chosen Having a majority of
the` whole en the first ballot, This
was probably due to the fact that
the members of the politicalparty in
the majority in the eogncil had met in
caucus and made their choice earlier.
These appointments perhaps should
not.;,
be made according to political.
leanings of the applicants but they
usually are and were inthis case. The
chokes were introduced by resolution
in the evening session and adopted
and bylaws ratified the appointments.
