pioneer telephone days at his na-
tive town of Mount Forest which
has been handed down and which
is/claimed to be true. Cin a farni
in nearby Egremont Township 1
Iived two baeheler Scotsmen who
emeento Mount Forest only when

stock • of groceries and other pro-
visions to keep them .,going for
many weeks Until they would -have
to come to town again. They were
colorful characters with •broad
Scottish accents': and stories cone
'eerningsthe jr doings and remarks
are legion in the district
One of the brothers, Malcolm
McNair, came to town one day
and entering a store saw a group
of men gathered around a "box oi
the wall" watching eagerly while
one man talked into a disc called
a ,motiehpiege. Actually, it was
one of the first dozen telephones
in the town. - The curious Scots: -
man enquired about the newfangl-
ed gadget and when it was explain-
ed you could talk to "-another per-
son several bloats, eyvay, oyer this
phone, 1VIalcolm broke into a loud
laugh, ridiculing the :idea and say-
ing he wasn't 'fool enough to be-
lieve a fantastic tale like that.
Determined to mire -ince Malcelin
it was not, foolishness, the metch-
Ant offered to, call someone and
let him speak over the ephone.
When the canny Scot learned it
would cost him notshingesto- try,
the gadget; Malcolm offered to take
a chance. e
Vigoroilsly Cranking the bell -on
the wall phone, the merchantwait-
ed patiently for the solusd'aefaltie
wife's voice at the other 'end of the
line ot a. house several blocks away.
When. she finally answered, the
merchant explained to Ms wit
that Malcolm. wasin town and he
was thinking of having him down
forldinner.
Then, the merchant handedover
the phone ear piece to Malcolei
just in time for. him' to hear the
angry voice of the woman: "Mals

you go and invite Malcolm McNair
Without asking me. Don't you

Dropping thetelephone receiver
as if it were a hot potato, Mal-
colm's jaw dropped several inches
and as he turned to the merchant
with his eyes almost pepping out
of his head he roared in his loud
Scottish accent: "Hoot Mon! Hoot

Reprinted below is the FIRST editorial from the FIRST issue
- of the HURON SIGNAL .(February 4, 1848).
' Inis !Elting the first number of the first newspaper that '
liWbeerr tinted in this impOrtant district, it may be expectedees
tbat we * should ,say something of our views and intentions.
And although, it is admitted, that the age of prefaces and
apologies is past, we will introduce the "HURON SIGNAL"
with a very few remarks.
It is necessary that a newspaper should 'pi Some degree
be the the mediuin of political 'intelligence. Theie are in every '
country, at least two district 'political ipereies, hence, it is
again necessary that every newspaper ,nrifst be the organ .or
the advocate of a papty, and it may be presumed that our
motto is a sufficient intimation that the "HURON SIGNAL" ,
Will endeavor to "advance the views of the LIBERAL party.
"The greategt-possible -good to the greatest possible number,"
is a sentiment whichemust certainly meet the epierobation r
of every honest upright man. But while we are disposed 1.„
to maintain the 'principle ,embodied in our motto with zeal
and earnestness, we will carefully avoid all uncharitable
feelings leer opponents: We will not indtilge in vituper-
ation or 'iki rrility. We will have no fellowship with anany-
mous,eomila nications Containing 'personal Slander or anything
' calculated to injure personal character' -in short we will
-endeavor tee -live at pence with ell men, so -far as that is
attainable upon the great principles of 4,ruth and jestice.
