The rural postmaster can no longer work his enterprising faculty and be safe. He roust not sell stamps in large quantities to patties outside of his own territory for use in other places and in remittances. The penalty for diso- bedience being instant dismissal. Such is the purport of new instructions is- sued from Ottawa. Some of the post- masters, anxious to swell their pocket- books, have sought business in the cit- ies and towns, and so bolstered up their revenue above its normal proportions. Another way iu which the postmasters have profited is by selling stamps to take the place of money orders in re- mittances. Mr. Lloyd P. Jones, who bas been the efficient organist of the Trivitt Memorial church for the past two years, has resigned the position and accepted at similar one in the Metho- dist church, Mitchell, at a large in- crease in salary, lie will leave for Mitchell about the middle of August, but will for a time visit Exeter each week to continue his large class of pu- pils in music.

Farmers who are troubled with rats should try the following: One who has tried says -"On a large number of old shingles I put half a teaspoonful of molasses each, and on that with buy pocket knife I scraped a small amount of concentrated lye. I then placed the old shingles around the stable floors and under the cribs. The next morn- ing I found forty dead rats, and the rest left the farm for parts unknown. I have cleared many farms of the pests in this way and have never known it to fail." Lordor Old Boy week's Programa.
