He was asked if he had never kissed a girl, and he said, "No, I have never kissed a girl in my life." I see how it might have been. He probably let the girla kisa him. THOU AND I. RE. Tell me, my darling, why Thou dos't so sob and sigh. Thy eyes with tears are wet. What is thy grief, my pet? SHE: I grieve, and grieve, and grieve. Death does my life bereave. The hope I had is dead. No more need now be said. HB. Be brave. Try to take heart And play life's noble part. 'Tis sorrow such as thine That makes this life divine. SHE (still weeping). Go. Leave me here alone, There's nothing can atone For all that I have lost At more than this life's cost. HE. I go, and yet remain To share thy woe and pain. There are rifts in the gloom And in the ills that loom. iBe brave have faith be strong. Bliss is not won by wrong. What now is hard to bear May mean joy otherwhere. LIBERAL RASCALITY. I am distressed. Owing to circumstances ever which I had no control, I am a Lib- eral and a Nonconformist. This is sad enough, but to add to the trouble I believe in the honesty and ability and rightmind- edness of Mr. Lloyd George. I do not even think that the members of the Liberal Government are roguea and liars and thieves and betrayers of their country. I believe, of course, in Welsh Disestablish- ment, and am sorrowful to find that this is a sure sign of my incurable rascality. There is, apparently, no hope for me. I even believe in paid members of Parlia- ment and in a reformed House of Lords, although I shall never be a member. Death duties do not trouble me, because I am not well enough off to hive to pay them. I am sorry for this also. I am quite wil- ling to be a multi-millionaire, and a member of the House of Lords, but there are obstacles in the way. It is very sad to be charged with rascality by men who are breeding civil war in Ireland, but such is life. I wonder, 0, how I wonder, why this is thus. It is a very queer thing that only Liberals and Nonconformists are rascals, and that all Conformists and Conservatives are gentle- men and Christians, even if they are nursing civil war and accuse other people of crime and wickedness. I am very sorry for myself, but I do not want to be Carson- ated or Bonarlawed. I often wish I could have been a Con- formist and a Conservative, but I was not made that wny. and so I remain an object ef scorn and contempt in the eyes of thm:0 who have done what I woufel rather go to hell than do. ABOUT THE FOUR NATIONS. Mr. Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland. in a recent speech at Bristol, said that to him Ireland always was, and always must remain, a nation. No Englishman who had held the office be held could ever find himself in any part of Ireland and think he was in England. He felt himself not, indeed, in a foreign land, but in a country with a nationality of her own. What is trne of Ireland is true of Wales and of Scotland and, in some sort of way, of England also. England acts bump- tiously on the presumption that it is the cnly real nation, and thai; presumption was probably the str.te of mind of those who gave to the four nations the name "United Kingdom" instead of "United Kingdoms." Ireland is separated from the other three nations by tho sea, but that separa- tion is becoming lexs significant every year owing to increased facilities of transit. Wales has many counties on its extended border, and is becoming the health and pleasure resort of the people in centres of great population. The natural beauty of Wales is far greater than is yet realised, and the ability of the rural people to speak English is making Wales more popular every year. The nationality of Wales no more depends on the Welsh language than the nationality of Ireland or Scotland depends on the Irish or Scotch language. Scotland is a nation and, like Ireland and Wales, will remain for some time yet a nation. Anyone who presumed that the dying of the Scotch language is imperilling the nationalism of Scotland would be laughed at. England is the least distinctive, nation- ally, of the four nations. Dialects have died out or are dying. The centres of great population are being increased by the coming in of people from the other three nations, and from countries in every part aif the world, including India, China, Japan, and Africa. National, racial, and language changes are slow, so slow that a few centuries scarcely count. Esperanto may become the universal language of the world, but the chances are not great. The seven or eight hundred millions of India and China are going to exercise great world-wide in- fluences, but those influences will develop slowly. What I see, cr seem to see, is that science is going to change the conditions of human life by enabling food to be manufactured as other things are manufactured. Just think what would be meant if large areas of land were not required for the growth of grain or the rearing and feeding of live stock. The world might have a population of fifteen or twenty thousand millions of people when food is manufactured, as paper and clothe are manufactured. I see in the newspapers from time to time indications that the growth of food may become obsolete owing to scientific discoveries,, and that many of the parts of the body may consequently become un- necessary owing to the fact that the functions will cease and the parts will be- come atrophied. Nationalism is a queer thing, and so is individualism. What I want to make clear is the fact that nationalism, if it is dying, is dying very slowly, and that it does not depend on a distinct language, or else there would be no nationalism in the United States, where English is the national language, or in Ireland or Scot- land where the old languages are dead or dvinf. C ALWAYS THE SAME. The sorrows and troubles of life are much the same now as they were thou- sands of years ago. What can I say to you that might not have been wisely sr.id be- fore the lamentable expulsion from Para- dise? My advice, and I myself act on it. is to bear what there is to bear and to soy nothing about it unless you can see a sort of grim joke in it. SA VE YOFB BACON. People are being advised not to buy bacon, owing to its dearness. At a recent meeting of a Grocers' Association it was said that bacon is going to be dearer still. I am told'that cannibals say there is very little difference between the taste of bacon and human flesh. I never had an inter- view with a cannibal, or dined with one. The only advice I can give is to save your baoon. OBSERVATIONS. Most people envy other people because they do not know what the other people have to bear. I think that forgetfulness has been a far greater blessing to me than, memory. The wise spend far more time in trying to say what they think than in trying to think what they will say. Nothing, perhaps, is more terrible to the consequential individual than his first real, isation that he is of no more importance tlfan a speck of dust, or a drop of dew, or a blade of grass. There are, perhaps, no greater tragedies in women's lives than those entailed by personal ugliness. I have not attained too much honour or position in the world, but the clumsy, vulgar recognition by people of what I do possess makes me laugh in scorn. It often happens that nothing is more I surprising to individuals than to discover that they have broken laws, human or divine. All religions, whether called true or false, are based on imperfect knowledge of this world and on absolute ignorance of the next. POOR THING, BUT FLY. Here is an advertisement from a London daily paper:— YOUNG Gentlewoman, orphan, limited means, wishes Post DAILY COMPANION to Lady; town; fond of theatres; further particulars at interview.—Address— What will be the young gentlewoman's future ? MY FRIEND. The newspapers announce that Mi. Andrew Oarnegie will receive the honorary freedom of Coventry and Lincoln on June 4th. He has already received the honor- ary freedom of over fifty cities and towns in Great Britain. I wonder if I could get him to give me one of the silver caskets for use if ever I am made an honorary freeman. I also wonder why he does not send me that odd million which I have never asked him for. What a hard, cruel world this is. I would rather like to see Mr. Carnegie and, as was said in another case, if ever he comes within a few miles of my bit of a place on the coast, I hope he will stop there. MORE SIDES THAN ONE. A London magistrate, last week, described the Insurance Act as a capital Act for idle people when he ordered what was described as a labourer who had been disorderly* when he had been for his out-of work pay. Labourers who prefer out-of- work pay will be got rid of by employers, for it is possible for the employed to do very little work. There are many sides to the Insurance Act, as the chronic vagrant is discovering. VARIED. A girl employed in house work was very thin when she entered service, but on her first day off she was stouter. When she came back she was as thin as before. This puzzled the employer who, on investigat- ing her wardrobe, missed a lot of clothes. Then there was trouble. She had not been taking a quack medicine, but something I else. A BAD SHOT. A tramp wont to a lonely cottage in North Wales. The woman gave him some tea and went to get him some matches. He is said to have attacked her. She went upstairs for a loaded revolver, which was always kept ready for work of this sort, and fired at him three times, but did not hit him once. How fortunate, both for the woman and tramp. AN APPEAL. A woman with twelve children has made an appeal to the Queen and to the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer in reference to the difficulty she and her husband had to get a house with sufficient accommodation for their large family. The Todmorden Co- operative Society have got the woman out of her difficulty by providing a suitable house. Just think of Mr. Lloyd George having to be a sort of house provider for large families in addition to his other duties. I TOLD YOU SO. Dr. S. D. Olippingdale read a paper last week before the Section of Balneology and Climatology of the Royal Society of Medicine on "London as a Health Resort." I have told my friends many times that unless seaside health and pleasure resorts improved their sanitary conditions London and other centre cf large population would become health resorts. It seems to be quite impossible to drive into local govern, ing bodies of small towns the fact that sanitary neglect is fatal to them. FEBRUARY. I been in the lanes and woods. February is a time when winter is at its. best. The bleached grasses are exception, ally thick in the hedgerows. At the roots of the trees there is life, but there are not many signs of it on the surface. Here and there is a twitter of birds, but the silence of winter prevails in the main. I gathered some curious growths which to me were beautiful. I cannot describe them, but they are really beautiful—at least so I think. In another month there will be signs of spring. Last year's autumn lasted until December, and even now, in February; there are growths that might have been killed by November: frosts. The silence of the lanes and woods is very pleasant to me, and means more to me than I can easily say. The rills are very vocal, and the songs of the trees are, as of old, full of music. The Co est.

Several cards were not returned. The best score in the junior competition was Mr. D Williams, 102, 20— 82. Senghenydd Inquiry.—In the course of the Home Office inquiry, at Cardiff, into the cause of the colliery explosion at henydd in October, it transpired that one district of the mine is known by the name of Aberystwyth. One of the witnesses OIr. Richard Davies) was night fireman in that district. He was asked for his opinion as to the State payment of colliery firemen. In his opinion, it depended on the payment. N.S.P .C.C-The Aberystwyth and Dis- trict Branch during the quarter ended December 31st inquired into 20 complaints. of neglect, ill-treatment, and other wrongs of childhood, of which 18 were found to be true, affecting 27 children and 25 offenders. Fifteen cases were warned, and three were otherwise dealt with. The Society's in- 5 spec/tors made 138 visits of supervision. As a result of the recent dramatic perform- ance of the "Amazons" the funds of the Society benefited to the extent of J352 16s., the total receipts amounting to £55 4s., and the expenses to £22 8s Presentation.—On Friday afternoon at Alexandra-road Infants' School, Miss May Evans, Powell-street, the popular teacher of the babies' class, was presented with a silver tea service as a mark of appreciation from the staff and scholars. The presentation was made by Miss Samuel, the headmistress, who expressed the regret they all felt at parting with a teacher who had been so many years among them and wished her every happi- ness in her new home across the sea. Miss Evans feelingly thanked all who had so readily contributed towards the present a.nd said she would always have pleasant reco lections of the years spent at the School. She will shortly take up her residence in Lloyd minster, Saskatchewan, Canada. Cogerddan.—Speaking at the half yearly rent audit on Friday of the Noyadd Tre- fawr Estate, near Cardigan, Sir Edwara Pryse, Gogerddan, explained that when he addressed his tenants at the Gogerddan audit recently at Aberystwyth he meant to convey that he would not be able to do what ho had been doing for the tenants in the past as he would have for a time to draw in his horns. It was not correct, as had been stated in some papers, that he w is going away for five years. Deatn duties took away five year's income and when he succeeded to the Gogerddan Estate he should have lain low for five years. Pharoah after seven years or plenty experienced seven years of famine. He supposed the seven years of famine haci come in his but he hoped it would not last seven years. Assaulting the Friday mr.rning, at the Police Sration, before the Mayor (D. C. Roberts, Esq.). J. Gibson, and T. W. Powell. Esqrs., John Roberts, labourer, a native of Towyn, Llandudno, was charged with having been drunk and disorderly on the 2:9th and also with having assaulted" P.C. Thomas Williams. The ^•fficor said that about o'clock on Thursday evening he heard loud talking and swearing in Plascrurj and found de- fendant cursing and swearing and dis- turbing the who'e neighbourhood. As he would not be quiet he was taken to the Police Station nd, on his way. he struck the Officer in the face and kicked him in the. legs. With the assistance of another officer, defendant was then carried to the Police Station.—Defendant said he did not kuc-w what he was doing. He was a fnrm labourer and came up by express G.W.R.. expecting to get work at Old Cwm.—In re- ply to Bench, it was stated that defendant had an insurance card for 1912 and that 13s. 6d. was found on him.—He was sent to prison for a month for the assault on the police and for a fortnight for having been drunk and disorderly. Workhouse Treat.—The local branch of the British Women's Temperance Associa- tion gave their annual tea and entertain- ment ae the Workhouse on Thursday. On the motion of Mr John Jones, seconded by Mrs Siviter (two inmates), a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the members of the Association. Oranges were distributed by I' Mrs. Evan Hugh James (lady guardians). Mrs. T. F. Roberts (president of the b**anch). presided over a concert in the Board Room. She explained that the treat had been given for the past twelve veai*s in place of beer which was formerly given to the inmates at Christmas time. Tea was much more beneficial than beer. Miss Hughes, Miss Price, Master Idwal Enos, Miss Iona Hughes, Miss Davies CRathbone), Mrs. Evans, Messrs. Edgar Evans and Glyn Jones, Miss Blodwen Evans, Mr. Williams and Mr. Jenkins (Theological College), Miss Gertie Lloyd, Miss Myfanwv Jones, Miss Dilvs Jones, and Mrs. Ivor Griffiths took part in the pro- gramme.

Ho h tried the Corporation and the Gas Works and was willing to wort at anything if he could get it. He did not think he bad" (lCILO ten shillings" during the post fortnight-Mr. Gibson said the whole thing was wrcng from top to bottom, and the Bench, after deliberation in pri- vate, made an order on Mathias to D'IV 10s a week as long as his wife and children remained in the Workhouse. Business Enterprise Bond-street must look to its laurels" remarked a visitor on re-visiting "Owen's" re-modelled tea rooms at 19 and 21, North-parade. "Owen's" is the name bv which the tea rooms ha.ve been reputed for years; but business is now conducted by Mr. D. W. Teviotdale, and the limitation of the house maintained. It is through his enterprise that the town has a splendid rendezvous in one of its busiest and most centra! thoroughfares. Regarded from a civic standpoint, the1 alterations and additions which have been carried out by Mr. Teviotdale deserve! every praise. What is more likely to in- duce people to visit the town and prolong j their stoy than the s;ght of handsome shops, fitted with every kind of luxury, where they can have catering as well done a in the Metropolis'or elsewhere? People] like to visit shops which are well appointed and like to take refreshments in tea rooms which give comfortable accommodation and are artistically decorated. It may be stated that the. sized the first floor tea room has been doubled and that accom- modetion is provided for gentlemen's toilet and smokeroom, and that a Wpre tea room 1 has been made on the second floor, giving; seating accommrdation for over 200.

Market Street Cinema. — Monday s feature, "Psyche," a pathecolour subject, topped a splendid programme. For Thurs- day's programme a fine Sehg animal picture is'the feature, "In the Midst of the Jungle." This is an exciting film, in which Miss Kathleen Williams (one of the few Welsh cinema. actresses), by the way, has narrow escapes from attacks by wild beasts. Other pictures will support this film. Next Monday, a wonderful Lubin earthquake film will be shown, "When the Earth Trembled." n I.O.C.T.—On Friday evening, the usual meeting was held at Progress Hall, Bro. Jenkins, chief templar, presiding. The, following programme was gone through :— Duet and songs, Sisters Lewis and Daniel; recitations, Miss Jennie Humphreys and Bro Charles Evans; and address by Bro. Richard Jones. Votes of condolence were 'passed with Mr. Evan Jones and family, Bridge-street; the relatives of Mrs Davies Jones (of Patagonia); and Mrs Jones, Baker-street, in their bereavements. Dickens Recital.—On Wednesday, the Rev A. R. Runnels Moss, M.A., Ladywood Vicarage, Birmingham, gave a recital at the Coliseum of Dickens's "Pickwick," and kept the audience laughing and frequently applauding for a couple of hours. Though Aberystwyth is an educational centre and has literary pretensions, recitals do not appeal largely to the population; but Mr. Moss, by two previous recitals, had built up a'reputation as a remarkable dramatic reciter and there was, for a recital, a sur- prisingly large attendance, mainly com- posed of the fair sex. The recital covered practically the whole book and gave a life- like representation of the various members of the Pickwick Club, and particularly of Sam Weller and his father, Tony Rink Picture Theatre.—On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week, the Rink management is providing a special treat for its patrons, when "the House of Temperley" will be shown. The picture is taken from the famous novel of Sir A. Conan Doyle (Rodney Stone) and is recog- nised in the cinematograph trade as being the finest film play yet produced. For the first three days of next week another big exclusive-" Zoe," will be shown. It is founded on the famous novel of the same name by Coralie Stanton and Heath Hoskin. On the Thursday following, The Last Days of Pompeii" will be shown, lhis particular picture is taken frcm Lord Lvtton's realistic novel. Wedding.—A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnised bv the Rev. Richard Hughes, M.A., at the English Presbyterian church, Bath-street, on Wednesday morn- ing, between Mr. J. Thomas, L. and P. tiaiik, Aberavon, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas, Oapel Isaac, Llandilo, and Miss Tillie Benbow, youngest daughter of Mr. Edward (Benbow, Broneirion, Alexandra- road. The bride was given away by her brother-in-law (Mr. D. B. Davies, Cae'r- gcg), and was attended by Miss Nellie Benbow. Mr., Evan Thomas, Uplands, Swansea, brother of bridegroom, acted as best man. Among the numerous presents received was a silver tea service presented to the bride by the pupils and staff of I Alexandra-road Schools. Sudden Death.—On Tuesday evening, the death occurred at 63, Marine-terrace, of Mr. Alfred Heywood, at the age of sixty- one. Mr. Heywood had been engaged during the day in the house and took his tea about .five o'clock, when he was appar- ently in his usual health. He read a news- paper until about a quarter past six, when he complained of pains in the chest. Dr. Ellis was called in and did what was pos- sible to prolong life, but death supervened shortly after his arrival from heart failure. Mr. Heywood was a native of Oldham, and came to Aberystwyth four years ago to carry on a boarding house on the Marine-terrace. He was a useful mem. her of the Etnglish Wesley an Ohurcli in Queen's-rorud, and up to last Christmas held the office of circuit steward. He is survived by his widow and four children— two sons and two daughters. The body will be removed to Oldham for interment on Saturday. Terri'torial Notes.—^The efficiency medals gained by members of the Cardigan Bat- tery, R.F.A., are on view in the shop window of Mr. J. Thomas, Great Dark- gate-street, and will be presented-to the recipients on a public occasion. For a unit of 120 strong, including officers, the acquisi- tion of eight medals at the same time is rather unique and shows that there are men in this sparsely-populated county who are determined to do their duty in support- ing the Territorial force. The minimum time to acquire the medal is twelve succes_ sive years of service, with a minimum of twelve trainings. Years may elapse, before a similar honour will be gained by the Battery. Riding drills commence next Saturday. The drills this year will take the form of more advanced training than hitherto, including long marks, pre- arranged schemes, reconnaisance, occupa- tion of positions, manoeuvres. A route march of the Battery is contemplated to take place on April llth, 12th, and 13th. The men, with horses and guns, will march fully equipped to a rendezvous, billet for two nights, and return to headquarters on Easter Monday. An endeavour will be made to do this under service conditions. Particulars of the drills and recruiting are given in our advertising columns. Second- lieutpnant E. Tudor Jones and Bombardier Burbeck (of the Post Office) have been called to the Army Signal School, Bulford, to undergo a course of instruction in army signalling.

The deceased, who was seventy- eight years of age, had been in ill-health for some time past, but had only taken to her bed four days prior to her demise.

Aberystwyth she had laboured faithfully and zealously in the interest of the local Corps, especially devoting herself in the we fare of its young members, among whom her work and influence will be much missed. For the past thirteen years she was juniors' sergeant-major. Much sym- pathy is felt with tne husband and family in their bereavement. Interment takes place at the Cemetery on Saturday after- noon at three o'clock.

STOCK SALES AT THE SMITHFIELD.
STOCK SALES AT THE SMITHFIELD. Messrs .0. L. Jones and Son, Esgerhendy, ana Messrs (Jooise Bros and Roberts con- ducted their first sales of stock oy -auction at. the Smithiieid on Monday as The out- come ot a movement by the Town Council, and farmers and stock oreeders to counter- act tlie practice of itinerant dealers in visiting rarmsi for the purchase of stock wnich was gradually ruining the monthly loiis and would eventually nave destroyed healthy competition and put farmers at the mercy of a ring of dealers. The main I argument in favour of the practice was that cattle look better on the pastures than on the Smithfield Ground, after having been driven into the fairs from the iarms and that better prices were so obtained without trouble and expense. The argument on the other side was that if better prices might at first be obtained, the pi act:ce would result in destroying the fairs for respectable dealers ina large way of business throughout the country, who cannot find time to visit farms and would not attend fairs when they found that only the refuse stock of the itinerent dealers was sent into the fairs with the result that competition would be limited and in the end farmers and stock breeders would bo considerable losers. That that result was rapidly maturing there can be no doubt for the fairs were gradually becoming worse and worse. During the past twenty years individual efforts have been made to estab- lish stock sales at the Smithfield, but each effort proved a failure from want of sup- port by farmers. Recently the farmers themselves appear to be more inclined to take up the movement, and with the valu- able advice and assistance of Professor Bryner Jones, commissioner of the Welsh Agricultural Council, and the expert know- ledge of Messrs Cooke Bros, and Roberts and Messrs D. L. Jones and Son, 'Esger- hendy, formulated a scheme and approached the Town Council for the pur- pose of providing suitable accommodation at the Smithfield for the sales. The Coun- cil expressed its readiness to promote the movement and to provide accommodation of a permanent character if it was found by experience that expenditure on per- manent work was justified. In the mean- time pens for cattle and sheep were pro- vided, as well as two auction rings of a temporary character. So temporary were the rings that on Monday afternoon a cow sent the planks flying and an exciting chase over the SmithfieM occurred in order to get her back again into the ring. The first sales were held on Monday—at eleven o'clock by Messrs D. L. Jones and Son and at half-past twelve by Messrs Cooke Bros. and Roberts. The day was fine and pleasant. There was a "large crowd of farmers and stockbreeders present who looked on with critical eyes and appeared to be keenly interested in the ex- periment. As far as conSd be gathered. they appeared to be highly pleised with the prices obtained and with the method of sale. It is said that £14 each was bid for one let of bullocks for which f'13 had been offered on the farm. There was a large attendance of dealers. the Auctioneers having done their best to make them acquainted with the sales. Whatever may be the result of the sales, a car-ual spectator could not help being struck with the improvement of the sales on the old method of doing business. Instead of the stock standing about for hours on the sides of the Smithfield-road for the dea'ers to pick and choose, the cattle were p-rmed and then brought into the ring in lots end sold r.t competitive nrices, the owners reserving the right to buy in should the biddings not come up to estimated val'ie. Several lots we-e brought in on Monday at what was thourrhr by th"* ring to be very fair prices, for the best trme for sale is yet to come wh n pastures in the Midlands begin to puf en their spring growth. Mr. A. S. Croko (nf the firm of Cooke. Bros. and Roberts) in his onening remarks at the aft'rneon sale, referred to the feet that. farmers of the district had held several meetings and had ex- pressed themselves as not being satisfied with the old order of things and were I anxious to come into line with the majority of agricultural districts throughout the country in having their stock submitted for sale by public auction. The Auctioneer reminded the company that the present was a competitive age of quick despatch and if they would continue to bring to the Smithfield such excellent quality of stock as they had that day he felt quite sure they would attract buyers from all parts of the country. He appealed to farmers not to put a too exaggerated value on their stock and to be contcnt with a fair farmer's profit. At the same time he respectfully reminded buyers that they should be also content with a fair buyers profit. If that were done he felt perfectly sure that the sa'es in connection with the Aberystwyth Smithfield would prove a great success. The sale was then proceeded with and the prices realised were generally con- sidered highly satisfactory. In calf cows sold up to L20, and dairy cows up to R19. Fat cattle sold well, cows making up to JB24 10s. Amongst the store cattle were several exoellent bunches. Six bullocks from Mr. Morris, Tynllechwedd. realised L15 apiece; twelve bullocks from Mr. Mor- gan, Glanfread, m,lkin,-r £ 14 • 4-o bullocks from Mr. Richards, Penuweh. L14 5s. aniece; five bullocks from Mr. Thomas, Llwyniorwerth. making P,12 10s. apiece; and two bullocks from Mr. James, Maes- bangor. tl3 each. A bunch of four bul- locks from Messrs Jones, Llwynddeinol, made £ 14 apiece. Bullocks from Mr. J. Parry, Troedirhiwlwba, realised L13 15s. apiece, and several other bullocks were sold at very satisfactory prices. Fat wethers met with a ready sale, the prices obtained being from 32s. to 37s. per head. Several ponies, carriages, harness, etc., were disposed of at the end of the sale. The Auctioneers' announce that. their next sale will be held on Monday, March 2nd, and that they have "already received an excellent number of entries. The Markets Committee and the Auc- tioneers were generally congratulated upon the arrangements made and the great success which had attended their first sale. Mr. D. L. Jones, in introducing his sales at eleven o'clock, which were largely attended, expressed gratification at the support the new movement was obtaining from stockbreeders in the district, as shown by the entries and attendance. Mr Jones conducted his sales in English as well as in Welsh, and satisfactory prices were CAERLEON HOUSE GIRLS' COLLEGIATE SCHOOL. EXAMINATION SUCCESSES FOR 1913.
