LLANTILO. Miss Dorothy Harries, The Old Vicarage. Llandilo, who has been for some months on holiday in Belgium, continues to send some interesting letters to her parents, Coun- cillor A. E. Harries and Mrs. Harries. In one of her letters she mentions that she has been the guest of Madame Melette at her Chateau, in Gemblcux, where the German Emperor was an unwelcome guest during h'S stay in Belgium. At the Llandilo Bridge Christmas Mar: held last week there was a good suppU" of veiy useful cattle. One well-known local feeder, Mr. James, Tregeyb Arms Hotel, showed six very clas-y Scotch Pol! Grey bullocks, all being grade. Phqre were also several first z tide bullocks «m. cows. Of the 157 cattle exposed 82 were graded, the majority being second grade cattle. The demand was very good. The show of sheep was small, and butchers -vero obliged with very small allocation. The pig department shewed an improvement, and trade was brisk, small weight porkers fetch- mg good prices. The calf trade was brisk, butchers eagerly buying crnnary cah-fs at high prices. The general cpinion was that the market was the best held for many year. Mr. and Mrs. David Jones, Park Lane Lodge, Golden Grove, celebrated their golden wedding on Wednesday. 10th inst. They were married at Llangathen Parish I Church, Golden Grcve, on the 10th Decem- ber, 1869. They have seven surviving chil- dren, viz.: Four sons and three daughters, one son lurving served in the Navy during the war. There are nine grandchildren. Mr. Jones has been employed on the Caw- dor Estate for 45 years, the present Earl being the fourth under whom he has served. Both Mr. and Mrs.. Jones are hale and hearty.

LAMPETER. Now that Christmastide has dawned once more, we hope all the readers of tHe JOURNAL will thoroughly enjoy its festive joys. On Wednesday evening, D" -ember .'7. at the Church Hall, Air. Williams, Ea^lield, on behalf of Miss Bailey, Falkland, Bryn- road, gave a lantern lecture on "Kindness to Animals," which gave great deligh to the crowded aldience. The lecturer was at his best, and his interesting remarks were lou dylapplaurled. The lantern was maivpti- lated by a fellow-student of the lecturer at St. Datvid's College. AI.ss YI-;ey takes deep interest in the welfare of animals, and always impresses upon e,h> dron to be kimi and considerate to all dumb at iinals and birds. Councillor 1). F. T.hnyd ably pre- sided. and after the usual -otes of thanks were given, a very interesting meeting was brought to a close. Lampeter has always been noted for its hoi se and cattle sales, but >t can be said that the successes lave been ejLadruple 1 since the establi-nr.ent of marts in the town. At the .o-t h'tse S'i)e. there a good display of avert.1-, vhieh realized higii prices. The following quotations are chosen as samples rv ih* pi ic es obtaned: — A four-year-old r.iner, owned by Mr. W J Williams, -ila • r it, ui.bzed £ 67, and Air. J.

Ree* headed the list with a pr ce of i 44 £ « A correspondent writes: Siimr people have a fancy that -1,e to buy the gas works, but common sell,(, ought to prevail before any such attempt is made. The present owners of the gas works are keen business men, yet. the gas works has not paid them for some years. If it does not pay them, it would not pay the council, which has already too many ques- tions to solve, among them being the hous- ing problem and the mart and market place. Rates are increasing fast now. and the coun- cil will be well-advised to leave the gas works alone, especially as so many shop- keepers have adopted electric light. Before anything is done, the ratepayers should be consulted. We are glad to learn that Dr. Walker, one of the professors at St. David's Col- lege, is progressing favourably after under- going an operation at a Swansea Nursmg Home.. Favourable news have been received here that the respected vicar of. Llanybyther and Lianwenog (Rev. J. Alorris, ALA.), is able to leave his bed for a few hours daily. The rev gentleman, while preaching at. New Quay some weeks ago, was suddenly seized with an alarming illness, and was at once conveyed to his home in a motor-car, from whence he was taken to Aberystwyth In- firmary, where it was found necessary to perform an operation. This was success- fully accomplished, but for a while his life was in danger. Happily he is getting on splendidly, and it is hoped that he may be removed home shortly, and we feel sure his family and the parishioners generally will be heartily glad to welcome him to their midst. A meeting of the District Education Com- mittee *as held at the Town Hall on h do v. Present :-Rev. E f vans (presiding), Alderman J. W. Davies Llangybi; the Re". Dl. Jones (B.).

Several applications for increase of payment from school cleaners were considered. was resolved that the Bryn-road School cleaner's wages be fixed at £ 15 per annum The other applications will be considered at the next meeting. In the meaiitnne a re- turn will be prepared showing the salaries, number of fireplaces, and other features con- nected with each school m the district. No definite steps were taken in connection with the vacancies at Bryn-road School, and the chairman was deputed to confer with the Director of Education. The question of granting an additional teacher for Bettys School was referred to the Director.-The managers resident in Lampeter were autho- rised to carry out improvements in the play- ground of Bryn-road School-The Clerk was directed to call the attention of the district road surveyor to the condition of the roads leading to Llanfair Council School. A pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Peter's Church on Wednesday, December 10th. the contracting parties being Air. Stanley Treharne, Llanstephan. and AIiss Hannah Evans, only daughter of Mr. and Airs. Evan Evans, 4, Harford-row, Lampeter. The bridegroom was accompanied by his brother, Air. D. J.

A meeting was held at the Peterweif Council School on Friday afternoon in order to make a presentation to Miss Olwen Jones, headmistress, on her depar- ture. All present felt sorry that Miss Jones was leaving for another sphere, but it was inevitable, as the Education Autho- rity have adopted plans by which the higher standard girls will be removed to Bryn- road Boys' School, and Mi,, Williams, who lias been headmistress of the infant de- partment for many years, has been promo- ted headmistress of Peterwell School. The schoolroom was filled with teachers, chil- dren. and friends, and the presentiit.on-was made by Miss Sarah Davies. assistant mis tress, in a. few well-chosen words. Aliss Jones suitably thanked all subscribers for the beautiful" silver cakestand they had given her which she would value all her iife. During her stay at Lampeter. Miss Jones made a host of friends, and all wish her every prosperity.

AMMANFORD. Several interesting billiard matches were played under the auspices of the East Car- marthen League on Thursday night in last week. The feature was the defeat of Cwm- amman. who are the present holders of the shield, by the Ammanford Y.M.C.A. by a margin of 92 points, and five games out of six. The Cross Inn team continued their victorious career, winning all six games over the Star team, while Lucania beat Tycroes by the big margin of 178 points. The Ammaruford minstrel troupe enter- tained, in a very real sense, a large crowd in the Palace Theatre on Tuesday night in liast week, and their activities were in a good cause, for the proceeds go to help Air. Healy, Penybank, an old gentleman who has fallen on bad times. The programme was mostly of a humorous character and notably so were the farcical sketches, "The awkward squad, and "A law court in Timbuetoo." J. Bevan, J.P., was the chairman. The Pontardnlais prize dramatic com- pany presented "Ephraim Harris'' to a crowded audience in the Palace Theatre on Wednesday night in last week. Never has better acting been witnessed in Amman- ford, and as the curtain fell the last time the comany and their gifted leader came in for rounds of applause. Air. Eustace Llew- ellyn, Fairwater, made all excellent chair- man, and the proceeds will go to the coffers of the local discharged men's federation. Ammanford, on Alonday night, honoureel a gifted son in Air. Geo. Arfryn Thomas, L L.C.AL, to whom a complimentary con- cert was given at the Palace Theatre, and a presentation made, in recognition of his musical talent and ready services to tho towr. AIv. Thomas, who is the soiNof Air.. Rhys Thomas, schoolmaster, Bettws," has entered the Cardiff University College to pursue further his music studies, and his many admirers thought the moment oppor- tune to show him their appreciation. The concert was organised by a committee which was representative of the whole town, and they were fortunate in securing such an eminent musician and litterateur as Dr. D. Yaughan Thomas to fill the chair. In the course of ,.n eloquent address at the inter- -il, Dr. Thomas said he had learned to respect Air. Geo. Thomas' abilities so much that he would not have misseel the oppor- tunity of going to the town's recognition ot him. He was glad that Mr. Thomas had decided to avail himself of opportunities afforded at the Cardiff University College to broaden his culture and deepen his musi- cal utterances. That was the spirit of the times—to understand nature, and human life and human history more profoundly, and. thereby, through music, gain an ex- pression still nobler and deeper. Dr. Thomas referred to the unique music and literary geL illS of the Amman Valley, which was rich in lore and "mabinogi." Ami the more he looked into the arts of music and poetry that had flourished in Whles. the more he became convinced that the Welsh nation need not take off their hats to any- body. The principles underlying the tech- nique of Welsh poetry were as sound as the- principles that underlay any of the arts that had flourished in Europe; and he was of the opinion to-day after reading a certain Welshman's work in the Welsh language that there was not a literary artist in England or in any part of the British Isles that was his superior. His name was Air. T. Gwynn Jones Aber^twyth. The lato Professor Sir Edward Anwyl maintained that he was even the greatest literary artist in Europe. He (Dr. Thomas) did not say those things in any spirit of defiance, but he was out for fairplay for our olel country, and Wale's ought to be proud of herself. A nation that had lost her pride went down- hdl; Welshmen had every reason to keep their heads aloft. He had been delighted to listen to the splendid performance of the Bettws Orchestral Society that evening. aTlll it was wrong for people to say that Wales knew nothing of instrumental music. There- were to his knowledge very many orches- tras in South Wales, and there had been for years. It was, therefore, a travesty of. the facts to say so. Still, they had to deepen their expression and proeluce music which was Welsh. We had beer: practisi lg inus. long enough, we had serred our a pp rentier ship, and he very much resent-:e. < nr be;I. told that m music we were ti !I,fioil o.' children.

Bevan. A vote of thanks to the artistes was carried, on the motion of the Chairman, to whom a similar compliment was given, moved by Air. T. \-1. Evans, and seconded by the Rev. B Ellis Jones, B.A.

T.LANDOA7ER.Y. Mr. Arthur P. N. Roberts, one of the staff at the National Provincial Bank, was on Friday last transferred to Barry Dock. Air. Roberts spent three years at the Llan- idoverv Branch, and was educated at Llan- dovery College, where he obtained his colours in football. He is a son of Air. Roberts, Gwvdr Gardens, Swansea, His Majesty's Inspector of Schools. Prior to his departure, the staff presented Air. Roberts with a silver-mounted fountain pen. Under the auspices of the Gerwyn Church Hall dancing class, a dance took place on Tuesday evening in last week, under the presidency of the Vicar (Rev. D. Edmondes Owen). There was a large gathering. Ir. Cyril B. Jones acted as AI.O. The accom- panists were the Alayoress (Mrs. Nichols) and Mrs. D. J. Evans. S'he sale of work held at the Gerwyn Church Hall on Thursday and Friday in last, week in aid of the Restoration Fund of Llanfair Church 'resulted in the sum of £ 650 being realized.

LLANSAINT SAILORS AND SOLDIERS' FUNDS. Sit-III answer to "Ex Soldier last week in connection to above funds. We should like to point out to "Ex-Soldier"' that a meeting was held on Tuesday, duly 22nd, and none of the demobilised made I their appearance, and- again a meeting-owns held in November in connection with memorial for fallen heroes. We should like to point out that all returned soldiers and sailors of Llansaint have had full benefits from funds up to the very week of their leturn, and now we have four' soldiers in service at present, and surely they are worthy of consideration. They have been g-eat supporters of these funds, and if "Ex- Soldier" wanted any information in connec- ticn with the above funds, why not sum- mon a meeting when he had time to spare to meet the committee, being that he could lot attend the ordinary committee meet- ings. Is this what "Ex-Soldier" thinks of the above funds Jfter sending him monthly parcels for over four years without missing a single month.? The officials of the funds are fully prepared to show account books and deposit books to any public person who wishes to see them. The funds were regis- tered under the War Charities Act, 1916, and the committee intend to take full con- trol of the funds until they see fit time to dispose of same, as every other place intend doing.
