We have been requested to insert the following WARNING for the protection of the] Public The public are hereby warned against ignorant men calling at people's houses, falsely representing themselves to be Dentists, or Agents for Dentists, and offering to extract Teeth to obtain orders for False Teeth. Such men have had no Dental Training; in almost all cases they are quite ignorant of Dentistry, and without any fixed address, so that people they injure cannot trace them. In addition to this, extortionate charges are made for rough, common False Teeth. On no account should the Public have anything to do with them, many persons having been cruelly treated and defrauded. People allowing strangers to interfere with their teeth expose themselves to v MANY DANGERS. T-Y Blood-Poisoning, Hemorrhage, Disease and life-long Disfigurement often result from the dirty instruments and ignorance of travelling teeth quacks. For their own safety, the Public are strongly advised not to allow anyone, except established Dental practitioners, to interfere with -their teeth, and only to patronise respectable practitioners known to them. Persons requiring any dental operation should have nothing to do with men who canvass or those employing them. PRINTING WE pR|NT PRINTING! PRINTING YOU PROFIT. Coloured Posters a Speciality.

WILL THE POLL DECLARE FOR…
WILL THE POLL DECLARE FOR PEACE ? By now the lot has been cast into the lap, and the miners of South Wales have decided for either peace or disaster. We have every reason to believe that when Wednesday's ballot will be reveal- ed it will be found to be a no uncertain declaration for accepting the coalowners' terms. These terms may fall short of the aspirations of the men, but it is conceded by the leaders generally that they are the best that can be got under the present circumstances. We were grieved to observe so much railing at the leaders during the crisis which is now, we confidently believe, drawing to a close. The leaders were placed in a most critical and trying position, and undoubt- edly did their best, and deserve credit for their work. We trust that the work- men have declared for peace-a peace that will be permanent. Por a consider- able time past those who are interested in the coal mine and the coal marb have been subjected to a great deal of anxiety owing to the uncertainty which prevailed in the coal trade. A settlement on a permanent basis would bring in its trail industrial prosperity to our district, and all concerned in the production of coal- whether directly or indirectly—would benefit thereby. I

------9 The Gadlys Ward Contest:
9 The Gadlys Ward Contest: Liberal Twins and Socialist Triplets. On Monday morning some false- prophet or prophets sketched the out. line of a coffin on each side of the gate in front of Mr Ogwen Williams' house in Broniestyn Terrace. Beneath were the words Don't vote for Ogwen and Maria, the Liberal Twins." This of course had reference to the Guardians Election on that day. An echo of this incident occurred the following day, after the votes had been counted and the results declared. Mrs Richard?!, Mr Ogwen Williams, and others, were engaged in conversation in the Gadlys, when someone shouted: How are the twins? Mrs Richards' ready answer was They are splendid —a most robust pair, but alas 1 two of the triplets are dead."

Mountain Ash Jottings. BY LUCIFER." A case of the biter bit was brought to my notice last week. A certain gentle- man appropriated a bag of oranges be- longing to a friend of his, who is a mem- ber of the perruquier persuasion. Some, people would call him a barber, bat he is a little above that class. Now the orange filcher thought the matter had blown over, and thoughtlessly went to snip to have his bi-weekly shave. He got his shave, at least one half of it, and had to return a disconsolate half shaven mor- tal to his home. To make matters worse, he had to attend a funeral-I left then. There is evidently a elump in the marriage market. Only one wedding took Slace in Mountain Ash this Easter. Are !ie maidens shy, or do the men fear bl- ooming benedicks ? Or is it the unsettled state of the coal trade P >
