special Notice
During this week our usual supply of
Holiday Stock will be opened and dis-
played for sale, so that on and after Dec
5th we will be in a fair position to re-
ceive our customers and their friends,
We sincerely trust that the exhibit this
year will be found in every way satis-
factory. Much to our surprise we find
a large number living within a few miles
of Exeter who have not yet called. This
is a mistake. Our stock is equal, an,
we think superior, to any found In v
lages of this size ; in fact we know it to'
class well with the majority of those
found in city stores. We are steadily
endeavoring to snake it more widely
known and will not rest content until it
has been inspected by ab least the ma-
jority of those living within ten or fif-
teen miles of Exeter. We know that if
unable to sell, our stock will at least
please ; and so cordially invite every
reader of THE TIJLES to call with their
friends at least once during December
.and take a look through.

Nature has dealt bountifully with Can-
adians this year. Thu grain yield in On-
tario, according to the Bureau of Industry,
has boon unuss' illy large. The fall and
spring wheat crop is estimated at 32.584.-
0'29 bushels, nearly one half larger than for
1890. The oat crop exceeds by '23,000,000
bushels last year's light crop, and the av-
erage prairie crop is the highest in ten
years. One hundred and forty-eight
thousand fewer acres were sown in barley
than last year, but the yield is 541,739
bushels more. The rout crops are describ-
ed as enormous. Fall wheat has averaged
twenty-five to thirty bushels an acre in
many sections, and weighs sixty to sixty
six pounds per bushel.

OTTAWA NOTES.
Ottawa, Jan. llth, 1892.
Considerable stir was created in poli-
tical circles this morning by the an-
nouncement in the local government
organ, that a redistribution of portfolios
had taken place. Putting it briefly the
charges are these : Hon. Mr. Hagen)•[
of the Post office Department has been
transferred to the Department of Rail-
ways and. Canals and the Hon. Mr.
Ouiuiet has accepted the portfolio of
Public Works. These aro two of the
important of ioesin the gift of the Crown,
being the two great spending depart-
ments and the country is to be congra-
tulated on having two such capable men
a
r
in charge of them,1 r
Ha t
1 , gka t suc-
ceeds the late lmented Sir John A.
Macdonald while Mr. Ouimet succeeds
Sir Hector Lnngevin. These appoint-
ments are officially announced but there
are several others which have their
foundation, as yet, in rumor, It is
reported that Sir Adolphe Caron is to
succeed Mr. Haggett as Post Master
General and that the MilitiaDepartment
is to pass into the hands of Mr. J. C.
Patterson of Essex or Mr. Kirkpatrick
of Frontenac. However, be this as it
may, the appointments that aro made
seem to give general satisfaction. Mr.
Haggart is an old and tried servant of
the people. His long and varied ex-
perience in public affairs has rendered
him conversant with departmental rou-
tine and with his well.known ability
for business,he will without doubt prove
a success in his new sphere. lir-Ouimet
though a new man in Council, is exper-
ienced in Parliamentary duties. He has
been many years in the House, and was
Speaker of the last Parliament. - While
popular with all parties, he is particular
ly so with the Quebec contingent, and
his appointment to such a responsible
postion will very materially strengthen
the Government in that province.
Eight elections will be held on the
28th to fill vacancies created by the
courts. Four of the constituencies in
which contests are to take place were
represented last session by Liberals and
four by Conservatives. They may all,
vith one exception,be considered border
ridings, The result of the polling about
to take place will be a fair test of the
present strength of the feeling in favor
of unrestricted reciprocity along the
frontier.
