Bell reported that he had attended the meeting of the County Council at Goderich in the interests of the proposed improvement to the road south of the town. A committee was appointed by the County Council, and the delegates had laid the matter plainly before that committee. An adjourn- ment was made for two weeks, so that nothing had as yet been done. The report of the Auditors for 1908 was read by the clerk, and on motion of Coons. Greer and Armstrong, was refer- red to the Finance Committee. Accounts were presented from Messrs. J. A Morton and A. E. Smith for $15 each for services as auditors; also an ac- count of $5,00 from J. A. Morton for typewritten copy of auditors' report for printer. On motion of Coons, Holmes and T. Bell these accounts were ordered to be paid, By -Law No. 510, 1940, was passed, authorizing the mayor and treasurer to borrow money to meet current expenditure, not to exceed the sum of $8000. On motion of Coons. Holmes and T. Bell, J. B. Ferguson was appointed Town Clerk and Treasurer at a salary of $700, of which $550 is to be charged to the town and $150 to the electric light ac- count. When the matter of the appointment of chief constable came up, Chief Van- norman briefly addressed the ' council, pointing out that his salary was hardly in keeping with the duties he had to perform. In support of his contention he compared his salary with that of similar officials in other towns. He had no holidays, but worked Sunday and week -day throughout the year. He would not ask for a raise in salary, but thought the council should provide him with summer and winter uniforms, as is done in other towns. On motion of Comm. Millikin and D. Bell, V. Vannorman was re-engaged as chief constable, etc., at the same salary as last year, with the addition of two snits of uniform at a cost of not more than $20 each. On motion of Coons. D. Bell and W. .T. Greer, Rev. Wm. Lowe was appoint- ed as member of the Public Library Board for three years, and the motion appointing Wm. Mc1 ibbon was rescind- ed. Messrs. Thos, Deans, Wm. Morre and James Angus were appointed fence viewers. John Armour was re -appoint- ed poundkeoper; Dr. J. R. Macdonald, Medical Health Officer; Thos. Gregory as member of the Board of Health for three years. On motion of Coons, Holmes and Armstrong the sum of $400 was placed to the credit of the School Board. The attendance has been very irregetlar for the above mentioned month, and many have missed examinations. M. L. BROc ir. C A Peculiar Case. The Toronto Star says: "The suit of the Gurney Foundry Company against the Western Foundry Company, of 'Wingham, claiming $19,000 damages, will be tried at the Civil Assizes this week. Mr. E. A. DuVernet, acting for the Gurney Company, hat applied for a special jury to be selected from the grand jurors. This assures a jury of superior intelligence, and is only secured upon the applicant putting up $150 seonrity for the cost of such a jury. Tho Gurney people claim that the Western Foundry Corm pally alienated the services of eight ap- prentices by offering them batter wages. The octette broke their indentures, and Went over to the rival company, sofne of thence, it is said, being still employed there." If You Are Well -Bred You will be kind. You will not use slang.

Price in them range according to size, which of course, varies from wee cuff links to belt buckle. The wives of Siamese noblemen have, their hair cut in pompadour style. It is usually about an inch and a half in length and sticks up straight like the hairs of a blacking brush. • Ardent regard for womankind by a man over ninety years is not considered evidence of insanity by Justice Marean of Brooklyn, and he refused to annul the marriage of Paul S. Brown to Augus- ta Andree. BIanche Walsh, herself a prominent star in the theatrical firmament, made an earnest plea for the abandonment of the star system in an address before the woman's auxiliary of the National Art Theatre at New York. Dr. Clara Bruce, of Cincinnati, is mov- ing against the present extravagance and overornamentation in women's dress. At a lecture in support of her opinion she wore a neat and tasteful shirt waist cos- tume which cost only one dollar and twenty-five cents. -GOAN.
