FERGUSON, The New Warden of Counties. : Brockville, Jan, 27.--The selec- tion of Andrew M. Ferguson by the members of the council of the Unit- ed Counties of Leeds and Grenville to fill the important office of warden, is a most worthy one. Mr. Fergu- son has had six yeara' experience in the Counties CouncHl, and has always been a hard-working, and capable member of that body. As a mem- ber and chairman of various com mittées he has given the business of the counties much thought and time, and his high business ability has en- abled him to become a very efficient municipal legislator. Mr. Ferguson was born in the township of Kitley, his parents being the late Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fergu- son. Starting out in business life he made a study of the cheese indus- try, and passed the examinations as a cheese inspector at the St. Hya- ¢inthe, Que., Dairy School in 1890, also taking a certificate from the Kingston Dairy School. For twenty-two yéars he was con- nected with the cheese industry, and was a member of the firm of Me- "Pherson & Ferguson, at Hunting- don, Que, the firm owning and con- ducting seventy cheese factories, be- ing the largest manufacturers of cheese in the province at that time.' In the year 1901 he sold out his in- terest in the firm and bought the farm at Glen Elbe, which he has con- ducted with marked success, making a specialty of dairy products. Mr. Ferguson served several terms as councillor of the village of Hunt- ingdon, and since returning to this section has served very creditably as reeve of the township of the Rear of Yonge and Escott for six years. He is a Conservative in politics, a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, and an Anglican in reli- gion. Mr. Ferguson married Elizabeth E., danghter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wright, of Jasper, and they have three children, one son 'and two daughters. Warden Ferguson is to he congra- tulated upon being honored with the important office of warden of the United Counties of Leeds and Grene ville, and his well known abilities will enable him to fill the office' with dignitysand efficiency. the United GRANDFATHERS, SOLDIERS, Crown--But a--Coinci- dence.
