Mr. Govenlock, on his election to the

A letter from Dr. Whitely with refer-
ence to Deputy Sheriff Cameron's illness
stated that X-ray examinations had neg-
ative results. The nervous system and
muscous membranes were chiefly affected
and Mr. Cameron was in considerable
pain. The treatment seemed to be the
use of opiates to relieve,the pain.
In reference to an account for $301,7
from the Dominion Road Machinery Co,,
for new smoke box from the boiler at the
Court house to the chimney, the clerk ex-
plained it was owing to the old box being
eaten through in spots ,that coal gas es-
caped and it was this that was responsi-
ble for Mr. Cameron's condition. The

asked to see what repairs were needed

ed.

°wen Sound Milk Wer
The Owen Sound milk situation has
been the Subject of touch dissatisfaction
during the past week. A large street
milk distributing concern attemptedto
advance the price of milk from twelve
cenis a quart to fifteen cents. Many of
the smaller distributors followed but one
refused. As a result the other men lost
nearly twenty per cent of the customers,
Eventually they have been forced to re•
duce the price once more, Citizens are
asking one another how long the price wil
stay down.
A Sadden Call
On Saturday, November 29th, while the
storm was raging about 7 p, m, Mrs. D.
McDonald 9th line, Morris, thinking she
heard 44omeone at the door went to their
aid. The high wind catching the storm
door threw her down the steps She re-
turned to the House and when her sister,
Miss Mary Lamont, came in from milking
she was undressing in her room and Mrs.
McDonald did not think she was much
hurt but at 1 a. tn. a still born son was
given birth, A hemorrhage ensued and
she sank rapidly, passing away at 3.30
o;clocic, being conscious almost to the
last, The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, service being conducted by
Revds. Messrs, Lundy and Mann, Inter-
ment was made in Brussels cemetery. De-
ceased was the daughter of the late Flugh.
and Mrs, Lamont of Brussels, and was
bora on the 8th con., of Grey Township.
She rendered efficient service in Brussels
Rural Telephone office for some time prior
to her marriage to her now bereft Pus•
band in April of 1918. Iter death under
the circumstances was particularly sad
and the sympathy of the community goes
out to the bereaved in their sudden and
unexpected -sorrow. Mrs. McDonald was
in her 32nd year. She leaves two sisters
(Mrs. Campbell, Morris and Miss Mary,
Brussels) and 5 brothers, Andrew and
Hugh, Grey township; Allan, Brussels;
Sam, Avonlea, Sask., Alex, London; and
Leslie at Medical College, Toronto,
On Thursday morning the Education
committee reported recommending the
adoption of the plain for the proposed
new school inspectorate made up out of
portions of Huron, Lambton and Middle-
sex counties. This, however, failed to
pass.the council, an amendment, moved
by Mr. Trewartha and seconded by Dr.
Armstrong in committee of the whole
that the council take no action,passing
by a vote of 21 to 5.
The committee dealing with the matter
of increased grants to hospitals recom-
mended the doubling of the present grant.
This left the question of when the in-
crease was intended to come into effect
open and a motion was made by Dr,
Clark, seconded by Mr. Trewartha, that
the increase of $500 to each of
ffe for the year
the hospitals bee cave y a
1919. This motion was referred to the
committee.
On Thursday afternoon the resignation
of Mr, Donald Patterson as county Roads
Commissioner was placed before the
council and referred to committee. Mr.
Patterson has occupied this position for a
considerable number of years.
Reeve Davis of Goderich brought up a
matter which at once received the ap-
proval of the council, namely, some
change in the name of the county House
of Refuge, as it has been called, which
would get rid of the implied suggestion in
the title that it was, as it were, a pauper's
honie. He suggested the name "Home
for the aged," the title used largely on the
other side,
Mr. Wm. Bailie expressed his approval
of a change in name and moved that a
committee to consist of Messrs. Davis,
Ford. Beavers, Laport and Young bring
in a recommendation not later than Fri-
day morning as to a new name for the

A Perilous Trip
Mr and Mrs. John J. Harris had an ex-
perience last Saturday evening that they
would not care to have repeated. They
started home from town about seven
o'clock in the evening, and when they
reached the 4th concession corner, . the
big windstorm came on. and: carried their
car top away. They proceeded in the
teeth of the blinding wind and hail, and
succeeded at last in reaching their own
lane. Here they were held up by a tree
having fallen across the lane, and in a
moment or two another tree fell just be-
hind them. They abandoned their car
and fled to the house, to find the building
full of smoke, caused by a couple of bricks
of the chimney having been loosened by
the wind, and fallen into the chimney. It
was a very dangerous experience, and Mr.
and Mrs. Harris count themselves lucky
that they escaped lives. --Mild-

point of a pistol, and robbed of aconsider-
able sumo -his summer's wages. He not-
ified the police, but they were unable to
get any. trace of the robber.
