ACREFAIR GROCER'S BANKRUPTCY.
ACREFAIR GROCER'S BANKRUPTCY. On Tuesday Thomas Benjamin Gwilliam, grocer and provision dealer, of the Emporium, Acrefair, near Ruabon, was publicly examined. His liabil- ities were £ 116. Is. Id. and the deficiency d664. The debtor attributed his failure to bad trade, bad debts, and large expenses." The debtor said he was 24 years of age. Two years ago he opened business a,a a grocer at Acrefaic-, his mother-in-law stocking the shop for him to start with, and in addition became guarantor to one wholesale firm of grocers to the amount of £ 30. He afterwards beaame possessed of a legacy of :£92 under the will of a relative. His mother-in-law also presented his wife with all the household furniture and effects. He found he was a loser about twelve months ago, and had contracted fresh debts since th t.t time, thinking that the business would improve. He had lost £ 114 since April, 1899. The examination was closed. -+
THE LIGHTING OF CEFN
THE LIGHTING OF CEFN GAS COMPANY'S PROPOSAL DISCUSSED A Parish Meeting was held at Cefn Board Schools on Wednesday evening, to obtain the sanction of the ratepayers to the expenditure of A200 required by the Parish Council for lighting purposes.—Aid. C. Jones, presided, and Mr. D. W. Roberts, chairman of the Finance Committee, presented a statement of and expenditure, on the lighting account, for the past year. They had reason (he said) to congratu- late the ratepayers that the lighting account was in every way satisfactory. They had supplied the parish, so far as the gas was concerned with very good light, and as soon as mains were laid down where oil lamps were now in use they would only be too happy to replace oil by gas. They had 108 gas lights and seven oil lights, making a total of 115 lights. The average oost of gas lights, including meter rent, was L- I Is lOd. Had they besn working on last season's basis of charge—38 6d per 1,000 cubic feet-as against 49, their average cost would have been 19s. for gas light, and 6s. 2d per light for oil. They were moving slowly but surely in their extensiens. (Cheers.) The parish being so scattered, made it difficult to carry out extensions owing to no gas mains existing. The total income on aceount of the lighting for the year, including the balance in hand of March 25, 1900, was J6326 13s 3d. They had paid for gas £ 112 17s 4d, for meter rents A5 4s 8d, for oil A2 3 2d, for lamp- lighter's wages £48 10s 6d, new work and repairs d616 17s, &c., leaving a balance in hand of :£80 13s 9d. Taking last season as a basis, they would require £ 200 to meet their liabilities next season. He moved the adoption of the report, and that a precept for J6200 he issued upon the overseers.—Mr. B. Butterton seconded the motion—Mr. Taylor, Cefn Bychaa, asked the difference between the price of oil and gas, and why Cefn Byohan road was lighted by oil instead of by gas. He thought it was a disgrace to the Council that they did not move on in this matter,and get the Gas Company to lay the mains.—Mr. Edward Joneg, Brookside, concurred with Mr. Taylor, and said something should be done at once to get the Cefn Bychan Road lighted by gas and not by oil. He understood that the Gas Company wanted the Council to pay for laying the mains. He would suggest that the deputation should interview the Gas Company on the matter.-The chairman said it was a matter for that Meeting to decide-whether they were to pay the Gas Company for extending the mains or not. —Messrs R. Lloyd, Wm. Davies and others said the oil light was very unsatisfactory.—Mr. W. L. Williams said he would strongly oppose paying de20 or j630 for putting down the mains for the Gas Company. (Cheers.) The principle was wrong. —Mr. B. Butterton said he thought there were other places besides Cefn Bychan that required better lighting.—Mr. E. Hughes said he was not opposed to the people of Cefn Bychan and Rhosymedre having proper lights, but he should like to oall special attention to the unsatisfactory way in which the upper portion of Cefn Mawr was lighted. There were so many road. and by-way. that it was most difficult for strangers to find their way about. There ought to be several aidition-Al lacips sreeted there. He thought that daagerous places "f ihi" kind should receive the serious attention of the Lighting Committee.

RETURN OF THE VOLUNTEERS.I
RETURN OF THE VOLUNTEERS. DINNER AT THE GRAPES HOTEL. About eighty members of the H" Company foregathered at the "Grapes" Hotel, Llangollen, on Saturday night,to entertain four of theircomrades whohave just returned from the front inSouthAfrica to a complimentary dinner. Capt. Griffiths occupied the chair Col.-Sergt. Selby being the only home- comer who was unable to accept an invitation to attend. He sent a letter explaining that he was prevented from attending by having received a letter from one of His Majesty's Inspeotors of Schools asking him to pay him a visit for a week; an invitation that may mean he is to ba offered another school. That this may be the case is the sineera wish of the general public of the town and district. A splendid spread was placed on the table by Mrs. Hughes, whose catering gava the utmost satis- faction and, after ample justiae had been done thereto, the post prandial proceedings commenced by Capt. Griffiths inviting the Company to honour the toast of the King," which was received with the utmost enthusiasm.-Sergt.-Instructor Galloway then proposed the toast of the evening, The Home-eoming Volunteers." In doing so, he alluded to the readiness with which they had answered to the call of duty; to the good service they had rendered with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in South Africa and to the general satisfaction felt by the people of Llangollen in being able to welcome them home safe and sound. He then, in sympathetic terms, alluded to the loss which, not only the local corps, but His Majesty's forces in South Africa, have sustained by the death of Pte J. H. Jones. Their sympathies should be extended, in a very special manner, to the relatives of tha.t gallant young voiuntser who so nobly answered to his country's call, and laid down his life in the per- formance of his duty. He coupled with the toast, which was received with loud cheers, the name of Sergt. W. H. Hughes who, in responding, thanked the inhabitants of Llangollen and distriot for the hearty welcome accorded to them upon their return to their native town. They went out as volunteers, but soon found they ha.d to take their places in the fighting line, and ha thought they had done their duty as soldiers should do.-Chaers-Sergt. T. Waltho proposed the health of Sergt.-Instructor Galloway. He said that was the first time the Company had been called together under such pleasant conditions as they met that night, but he trusted it would not be the last. He paid a high compliment to the energy and the ability with which Sergt. Galloway had worked in the interests of the Company during the two years that he had been with them the present satisfactory state of things being largely due to his exertions.—(Cheers.) Sergt.-Instructor Galloway thanked the Company for the hearty manner in which they had received the toast; and concluded by asking them to drink the health of Capt. Griffiths, to whose exertions the success attending the recaption of the volunteers on their return from the front was mat a ly attributable.-(AppIa.use.)—The toast having been duly honoured, Capt. Griffiths, in responding, said that so long as the Company worked as they are working he would always regard it to be his duty to do his utmost for;them. (Cheers)--During the evening, songs were given by Pte. J. F. Bailey, Pte. W. E. Edwards, Pte. G. Griffiths, and others the proceedings throughout being most successful. WELCOME HOME TO VOLUNTEERS AT RUABON. A banquet and smoking concert took place at the Wynnstay Hotel, Ruabon, on Thursday, in honour of the Volunteers and others who recently returned home from South Africa. They are:—Captain Maurice Griffith, Colour-Sergeant Selby, Sergt. W. Hughes, Sergeant Charles Davies, Corpl. J. C Murless, Corpl. J. Harris, Bugler J. Owen, Pte, E. H. Jones, Pte. T. O. Jones, Pte. G. H. Lacey, Pte. J Sinclair, Pte. John Knight, Pte. J. Beech (Grena- dier Guards), Trooper P. Borrell (29th I.Y.), Troopar John Jones (29th I.Y.), Pte. C. Griffiths (41st Welsh Regiment). Dr. Lawton Roberta presided, and he was supported by Messrs. G. J Bowen, H. C. Murless and H. B e'cett. There were also present Major Johnson, Messrs. N. R. Griffith, J. W. Owens a.nd T. A. Acton, and Qaarter-master Sumnal.—After dinner, the chairman proposed the loyal toasts, which ware duly honoured, and an entertaining programme of music was gone through by Mr. W. P. Jones, Colour-Sergeant Selby, Mr. Thomas (of Cefn), Mr. Whittingham, Mr. Joseph Edwards, Corporal J. Harris, Mr. Thrope and Captain Griffith.-The Chairman aferwards propos- ed the toast ef the Army, Navy and Reserve Forces and Major Johnson, in responding, said the Volunteers had proved that they were not Feather-bed soldiers." Captain Griffith was the only one of the local Volunteers who was mentioned in despatches,and but for his having been seized with fever and invalided home, he would no doubt again have been mentioned. (Cheers.)- Captain Griffith responded and gave a most amusing recitation descriptive of a. Welshman's difficulties with the English language, which kept the company in roars of laughter. Songs were also given by Messrs. Joseph Edwards and W. P. Jones, and Corporal J. Harris. The Chairman then proposed the toast of the evening, and said other forces had fared less for- tunately, and had lost many men, but the Ruabon- ites had been lucky in this respect. (Cheers.) The people of Ruabon had followed their movements with the greatest interest and anxiety, and when they heard of their expected return a committee was appointed to arrange for that little meeting. (Cheers.)—The chairman then presented handsome illuminated addresses designed and lithographed by Messrs Woodall, Minshall, Thomas aad Co., of Wrexham and Oswestry, to each of the men. The address was as followa :—" Dear sir,-We, the inhabitants of Ruabon and well-wishers generally, on your return home from aotive service in South Africa, desire to express our feelings of friendship and goodwill. We are pleased to recognise and bear testimony to the noble response which you made for the late Queen and country, when called upon in the hour of England's danger, and we welcome you home from the battlefield where, unfortunately, so many have laid down their lives We beg your aceeptance of this testimonial at the Banquet given in your honour, as a small mark of our respect and esteem. With our sincerest good wishes for your future happiness and prosperity, on behalf of the Committee. I remain, yours very truly, R. Lawton Roberts, Chairman of Reception Committee. Ruabon, May 7th, 1901."—Captain Griffith, in replying, said they appreciated intensely all that had been said about them. (Cheers.) They had done all they could, and they thanked the Committee for all they had done. Some of them might only be volunteers, but they could fight as well as the rest of the army.—Colour-Sergt. Selby said he was deeply proud of being one of the men selected for active service, but it had been a still greater honour to fight with a regiment that was second to none in the British Army. (Loud cheers). He admitted that he might have been hard with the men under him at times, but what- ever he asked them to do they did—(cheers)—and he had caused them to be thought well of from the colonel to the smallest drummer-boy. (Cheers.) Were they called upon to volunteer again, he was sure they would all do so. (Cheers.—Mr. N. R. Griffiths proposed the health of the Chairman, which was heartily drunk, and Dr Lawton Roberts, in responding, said he sometimes felt as if he were still a Volunteer when he saw so many of his old comrades round about him. (Cheers.) He should like publicly to thank Mr. Nathaniel Griffith aod and others for the help they had given him in arranging for that enthusiastic welcome.—The remainder of the evening was devoted to harmony.

GLYNDYFRDWY FARMER'S DIFFICULTIES.
GLYNDYFRDWY FARMER'S DIFFICULTIES. At the Wrexham Bankruptcy Court, on Tuesday, Edward Roberts, farmer, Fronlwyd, Glyndyfrdwy, was publicly examined. He said he was 30 years of age and was a quarryman by vocation, and until twelve mouths ago he used to deal in farm produce as well, which he brought to the Wrexham market. For the last twelve months he had held the Fronl- wyd farm, for which he paid a rent of Y,40 per annum. To commence farming at this place he borrowed a sun of £ 25 upon the security of his furniture. The debtor estimated that he had been in difficulties for about three years, and that he was probably insolvent three years back, since which time he ha.d been incurring debt, in the hope of being able to pay with the help of his friends. He attributed his failure to ill-health and deaths in the family, want of capital to start, and a recent loss of nearly 420 on a horse." The oxamination was closed.
A LION AT LARGE AT WREXHAM.
A LION AT LARGE AT WREXHAM. As the company of Sangers' Menagerie were arranging their procession in Wrexham, on Tuesday, an exciting few minutes were experienced by the numerous bystanders. The head of the procession was at Grove-road, and the tail in Foster-street, which is bounded by a high wall on one side and on the other by a timber fence, which seperafces it from the fields. The piece de resistance of the display in Foster-street was a car bearing a very fine specimen of an African lion, held with a oollar and chain by an athletic negro, and on the other sida of the negro a live sheep, the whole typical of the lion and the lasnb." or as a bystander remark- ed, the British lion and Mr. Chamberlain in South Africa. Suddenly the lion's hind quarters slipped off the after part of the car, and, struggling violently either to recover his position or essape, he freed himself from his collar, and with a bound was free in the fields, passing within a few inches of two young men who were sitting on the fence. It was interesting at this time to mark the marvellous sprinting- capacity of the British public, noticeable among whom was a clergyman and others, who had not previously shown any like quality. The lioa, after one look round at the fleeing crowd, ran across the two fields, followed by his negro keeper and another. There he eluded their pursuit for a few minutes but was at last cornered between some iron railings and a wall near the residence of Mr. Dodd, where, with much adroitness, the negro slipped the noose over his head. From this point back to the car, via the lane and Chester road, was a scene of violent struggles on the part of the lion and the negro, which was rendered rather comic by the activities of the attendant, who stuck well to the lion's tail. After many hairbreadth 'scapes the ferocious animal was again brought back to his companion the lamb, and the precession continued its mareh through the town.
