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.

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.
