THE POSTMASTERSHIP.-As sta-
ted in last week's issue. Mr. W. J.

master in Exeter, but when the re-
commendation was presented to the
Postmaster General at Ottawa, he
stated that an order -in -council had
been passed by the Government mak-
ing it impossible: (to appoint acivilian
to a position in the civil service w'hein
a. returned, soldier was' an ifpplicant
and qualified for the position. Mr. J,J,.
Merrier, M. P., „therefore, knowing he
was conforming to the will of has
executive immediately recommended
Mr .William Russell a returned sol-
dier son of Mr. Wm. Russell of town,
Mr MYlerner then notified Mr Russ-
ell and the secretary of the execu-
tive. and at the time of writing the
matter stands there. The appoint-
ment may be .gazetted even ,note, or
in a few days, or a few weeks. Mr
Russell, in case he is appointed, will
make a thoroughly satisfactory post-
master He is competent and trust-
worthy and such an appointment
would be popular.
Weunderstand that a similar case
has 'developed in St. Marys, where a
civilian, ,Mr. Lancaster was appointed
al, postmaster, but the appointment
habeen held up because of : -a sol-
dier applicant.
Washington, with his bride, (,nee Ella
O'Brien, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
T, ' O'Brien of Hamilton) and Mr,
Reynold's mother, Mrs. John, Rendl.e
of Spokane visited friends here dur-
ing the ;past week. All were former
residents of Exeter. The young peo-
ple were married last week in Hamil-
ton and spent part. of their honey-
moon here, They will reside in Spo-
kane, and have the best wishes of
their many. friends.
