An exchange says: A neighboring
county- inspector asked every teacher
at the institute who took a local county
paper to hold up hands+. Only six re
speeded. He expressed great surprise
and said: " Yon don't spend a dollar a
year with those papers, yet you expect
them to print free of charge notices of
your school doings, monthly reports, re-

Farmers like all business men should
advertise. A farmer has cattle to sell,
a brief announcement to that effect
will often send him a dozen buyers..
Or perhaps he wants to sell some fine
hogs; a three line " want " ad, costing
perhaps twenty-five cents will bring
him several purchasers. Advertising
is the only way to let people know
what you have to sell.

There exists some misunderstanding
as to remitting a sum between any of
the denominations mentioned in postal
notes. Take for instance, 52 cents; all
that is necessary is to send a postal
note for 50 cents with a 2 -cent postage
stamp on the face of it, and 52 cents
will be paid for it. The same thing
can be done for 55 cents or any similar
sum for which there is no denomina-

chair and started the intellectual treat.
Rev. Mr. Kerrin, of Mitchell, was the
speaker of the evening, who delivered
a synopsis of his popular lecture on the
manners and customs of the Spaniards.
The subject was cleverly treated, and
proved very interesting and instruct
ive. Mr. Kerrin is an able speaker,
and has the pleasing faculty of intro-
ducing many witty sayings, which
throw his hearers into convulsions of
laughter. Ten•minute speeches were
delivered by the resident ministers,
Revds. Dr. Willoughby, Smith and
Martin, all of whom were listened to
with deep interest. Miss Myra Pick-
ard, of London, a former resident
of Exeter, contributed several vocal
selections which were enthusiastically
encored on her every appearance. She
is possessed of a sweet rich voice, and
her artistic expression is captivating.
The recitation by Miss Ball was ad
-mirably rendered, and she was com-
pelled to appear a second time. The
piano duet by the Misses Hicks was es-
