Election of Guardians NOMINATIONS. The election of Guardians and District Councillors will take place on Monday, the 28th inst. The lest day for nomination as the 10th, and five days were allowed for the withdrawals. CARMARTHEN UNION. The following are the nominations for the Carmarthen Lnion, the old members being marked with an asterisk. As will be roticed, several of the present Guardians have withdrawn, ine.l-iding the Vicar cf < lech, whost will be a distinct :OS" to the Board. The withdrawal of Mrs. Pughe Evans is deplored throughout the Union, as it is felt that a lady possessing her many admirable qualities would make an excellent lady Guardian, and be an un- doubted acquisition to the Board. "he contest in the borough promises to be very warm, as there are ten candidates for six seats It is not likely that the election will be fought on party lines as there are several "independents" standing. Encouraged by the recent good fight against the Rev At Mills, for County Council honours, Mr. D. Davies, Boxburg Hall, -,eeks to displace one of the old members, which he is must be left to conjecture. There are therefore three Baptists in the field, with this difference, that while Mr. D. Davies is a Conservative, the Rev. A. Fuller Mills and Mrs. Richards are Radicals. Mr. Davies at the recent election was charged with being a turncoat but our readers will readily remember that at Parliamentary elections he was a staunch supporter of Sir John Jones Jenkins, and on more than one occasion, spoke on his be- half. But as the election is not to be made a party affair, it matters not what colour he flies. There only remains this to be pointed out on his behalf. That he lives in a quar- ter of the parish that has not been repre- sented by a resident Guardian since Miss Hancocke's retirement. Johnstown and Llanllweh covers a large area, and it is only due to inhabitants of those places that they should have at least one Guardian living in their midst to look after and see that the pcor are properly cared for. Who bet- ter than Mr. David Dr.vies? Mr. Thomas Thomas, Wellfield, should have no difficulty in securing a seat. He has been on the Board of Guardians for many years, and nas proved himseif to be exceptionally well- fitted for the office. Mr. J. P. Lewis and Mr. Jonathan Phillips, Ysguborstone, are tried members, whose records should stand them in good stead on the day of the poll. Coming to the lady candidates there can be no gainsay that Miss G. E. M. White, King j Street, is far and away the best of the four. She, like Mrs. Pughe Evans, has done a lot to ameliorate the suffering of, and better the circumstances under which, the poor live, in her private capacity. She knows their wants, and can distinguish between the deserving and undeserving poor. Her sympathy, too, has always been shown to the unfortunate inmates of the Workhouse, and she should make a very valuable mem- ber. That is not to say that the other three ladies do not take a deep interest in the poor, and are not anxious to assist them in every possible way. All or any of them would make very good members, but the work of Miss \V nite in this direction stands out prominently, and demands recogniton.

Ammanford Literaty Society.—Before a well-attended meeting of the above Temper- ance Society held in the Vestry of the Christian Temple, Mr. Jacob Gabe, Amman- ford, read a very entertaining and instruc who proved to bo none other than the fam- tive paper entitled A Delightful Friend," ous Essayist, Mr. Charles Lamb. The paper showed that it had been prepared with great care, and dealt minutely with the history of Charles Lamb and his sister Mary, and also with their friend Coleridge. The dark and sad phase, as well as the quaint humour of a most unique family was presented with vividness, and were keenly appreciated by the members. It was quite evident that the reader of the paper had probed deeply into the history of Charles Lamb, and had made him a special study, for there was hardly any aspect of his life and works, that he did not touch upon. We hear that he has been asked to read the paper before some other Literary Societies in other places, and we can assure them that it will be well worth listening to. The chair was occupied by Mr George Roblin, manager, Tirydail, who spoke in terms of praise on the excellence of the paper, as also did several members of the Society. Council Election. The community is bubbling with interest in the election ot members on the Ammanford Urban Council. The five retiring members are Messrs. T. Fletcher, D. George, J. E. Jones, W. Rees, and Evan Jones. The latter two do not seek re-election. The last day for nomina- tions was Thursday of last week, and the following were nominated :— Labour. Mr. Thomas Fletcher (rollerman). Mr. D. George (collier). Mr. J. E. Jones (collier). Mr. Iestyn Williams (collier). Mr. Daniel Thomas (stoker). The first three are old members. Independents. lr. G. Roblin (colliery manager). Mr. James Watkins (colliery manager). Al r. J. C. Shaw (mechanic). ° Mr. J. C. Davies (engineer). Mr. W. Evans (builder). Mr. B. R. Evans (Draoer). Mr. W. Hodges. ABERGWILI. Parish Meeting. Poll Demanded. — A Parish Meeting was held at the National Schoolroom on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst., for the purpose of electing 15 parish councillors for the ensuing three years. Trere was a large attendance of Noncon- formists, or, as they choose to call them- selves now, "progressives." How they lav claim to that name, seeing they have had a majority on the Council since its formation, and never adopted one of the Acts they are entitled to, such as the Lighting Acts, or done anything for the welfare of the parish ) is a problem that will take a lot of solving. There were very few Churchmen (or shall we say "Moderates"?) present. Mr. J. Lloyd (Penybank) was voted to the chair, and he opened the business by thanking those pre- sent for returning him on the County Coun- cil TwentyJ-three candidates were nomi- nated for the 15 vacancies, and the voting resulted as follows:- -1 Morgan Thomas, Tynewydd (Pro.). 70 David Davies, junr., Rhiwdywyll (P) 67 Dd.
