WE are pleased to state that
there is every prospect of the ap-
ointment of Andrew Govenlock,
of Winthrop, to the position of Po-
lice Magistrate for East Huron.
Mr. i'iovonloek is well known
throughout the riding and will no
doubt fill the position creditably.
For many years be has sat on the
magistrate's bench and is conse-
quently well qualified to deal with
the cases that will comp before
him. We hope the two other rid-
ings of Huron will soon secure
equally good men for Police Mag-
. istrates, if so the Scott

IN another eolumn will be found
a short communication bearing on
the question of securing the plan-
ing mill of Thos. Smith as an in-
dustry within the corporation of
Brussels. We strongly urge upon
the proper authorities "to make
hay while the sun shines" and
take advantage of this opportun-
ity of helping our town. We don't
want any chance work about this
matter but let it be clearly under-
stood and all the necessary ar-
rangements for the completion of
the transfer finally agreed upon.
Let us be alive to our own inter-
ests and when we have an oppor-
tunity of giving Brussels a lift let
us do it and do it heartily.
