IIAWARDEN GUARDIANS. I JL r A meeting of the Hawardon Guardians was held at Broughton Workhouse on Friday, Mr. William Fryer presiding. Homo dis- cussion took place M to whether a telephone should be installed at the Workhouse, if there was an exchange at Hawarden. A short time ago the matter was referred to a committee to consider the cost of the telephone.Mr. Ilamp- son said the cost would be 1;12. 5s. per annum, and extra foes would have to be paid for calls outs'.do the Hawarden area. It was decided to defer consideration until the clerk and doctor were connected to the telephone -ystem. DISTRICT COUNCIL. I A meeting of the District Council followed, Mr. Fryer again presiding. Mr. Barrett (sanitary inspector) reported that efforts to find an over- flow at th-o Quarry Pond, Shotton, had not been suooessful. It wits a question whether there was an over/low or not. The Clerk read a complaint from a resident in the neighbourhood, stating that the water had got to his fowl-house, and had caused ijio <lea.th of nine fowls.- Mr. Manley Why doesn't he keep ducks? (Laughter.) —A committee, consisting of Messrs. Vickers, Manley and I lamp-on was appointed to visit- the place. SHOTTON S WATER SUPPLY.

Mr. Barrett, in aeooixlanoo with the instruc- tiona of the Council, submitted an estimate of trie cost of the proposed sewer ztt. Fford-ias, and also a plan shewing t.ho proposed lines and depth. Tho scheme would cost Cgo, and the outlet was in a field owned bv Mr. W. fewio. Tlie pian", were passed, and it was decided to do the vvc;rk by direct, labour, under the supervision of Mr. Barrett.

GARDENER AND STABLEMAN I ♦ FIGHT AT SAUGHALL. 1 tie story of an exciting acuflle dot Saughail was told to the Cheater Castle magistrates on Satur- day. A respectably-drossed young man, named John 0 Crafty, was charged with wounding Thomas Nifekl, garde-tner. Suprt. Sutherland said that for about eighteen months prior to April 24th, 1907, prisoner had iwai employed aj a stableman by Mr. lligby, of the Homo Saughail. Mr. Rigby dismissed prisoner and his brother, and Niotd, t-lit) was in- structed to assist them with th?ir boxc-s to the railway station. After Nield had clone 60, Ite returned and found prisoner and his brother in tlio farmyard. Ho ordered them out, and they want, but returned shortly after- wards. Prisoner tlwn. itiado use of thieate to Nield, and Niedd taw that he bad a knife, iYisonor struck at. Niokl with ihe- knife. Nield closed with him to defend himself, and a man named Brayne canto to his assistance. Both men took the knifo from prisoner. Nield then found lie bad been bitten on tho 1"<1 by prisoner. lie turd aTce lx-e-n cut Ort iho back of the liand. Prisoner chert left the picmises, and a warrant was taken out by Nield. Nothing was heard of prisoner tlutil Jantiary 29th, when he surrendered to the Liverpool police. Thomas Nield. who is new living at Conway, bore out this statement. Witness added that- after t."It) scuffle prisoner was ejcCiteod and tlie gates woix) closed. O'GrDdy fired a volley of bricks over the wall and then departed. Joseph Brayne, Fiddlor's-lane, Groat Saughail, corroborated. He said lie saw prisoner biting Nield.—Cross-cxamini'd: He did not see Ni-old use the knife. P.O. Waller Nichols. Great Saughail, said he saw the cut on the hack of Nield's right band, and two small cuts on the little finger of the same hand. Norio of them was serious. The bite on tho little finger of (lie left hand was the worst wound. When tie received prisoner into custody and aliarged him, the man. admitted biting Nield, but denied using tlie knife. Prisoner was committed for tr ial at the Chester Assize is in March.

ITHREATENED VOLUNTEERS. CilESTEKS PATRIOTISM. I AUTHORITIES SURPRISED. I I Grea,t, satisfaction is felt at t.ho result ot the con fere nee of the representatives of the Town Council with Col. Bromley-Davenport. TheTo wn Council havn now obtained all they desired. The question must be considered of course by the County Territorial Association, but, as the deputation have convinced Colonel Bromley- Davenport, t.ho chairman, as to the practic- ability of their schemes, there is little possi- bility that the other members of tho Associa- tion will adopt a different attitude. It should be remembered that the action of tho Associa- tion was not inspired by any lack of approoia- tion of Cheater, a3 members of the asso- ciation themselves have remarked, they are proud of their county town, and wish only to make the best arrangements for the county as a whole. The thanks of Chester Volun- teers are due to Oolonel Broniley-Davenport .and Coloi.pl Thompson 'for tho ready ami courteous manner in whioh they have shewn their anxiety to meet the wishes of (-he Cor- poration and the citizens at large, and the oon- sideration t.hey have given to t.ho matter, sparing neither time nor trouble to arrive a.t a settlement of t.ho crisis. We understand that a great impression was made by tho ex- cellent fosult of the Mayor's appeal to orn- ployers of labour in Chester. Col. Bromley- Davenport had nothing but praise, and was groatly influenced by the faot that there was only one reply which, could 00 considered even doubtful. If the scheme is carried out on the lines now indicated, Chester's position will be recognised by tlie selection of the city for the follow- i rig — Headquarters of the Cheshire Infantry Brigade of tho Territorial Army, comprising 4,000 men. Headquarters of tho re-organised 2nd Bat- talion of th9 Brigade (tlie old 2nd V.B.C.R. and part of the 3rd V.B.C.R.). Headquarters of the Howitzer Brigade for the Welsh Division Probably for a new body of departmental trcops (Army Service Corps, etc.). I INAUGURAL CHURCH PARADE. I With t'ho approval of the Secretary of State for War and the Army Council, it has been suggested by the Chaplain-General to tho Forces (hat on April 5 next-tho first Sunday after the Territorial Force comes into exist- ence—the presidents and members of the County Associa;tions and the effioca's and men of the Territorial Force throughout Great Britain j-hould attend a ohuroh parade. The object of this service will be to render thanks to Ali-ru -h,y God for the pa.triotic spirit whioh has hitherto imbued the Yeomanry and Volun- teers and ask His blessing on the Territorial Force and on the men who are to direct and compose it, and to offer the prayers of the nation for the continuance of the blessings of poore. It is suggested that the assembly be at the place or places of parade usual in tlie regiments, thus providing for the requirements of the various denominations.

Mr. A. Noel Ealand, who served his articles I with Mr. E. S. Giles, Solicitor, Cheater, has successfully passed the Solictors' Final Bxiwama- tioa.

THE LATE MR. G. T. KENYON. I 41 HOLT UNIONISTS' REGRET. I PROPOSED MEMORIAL. I tl'itteen tovers of their old chief journeyed to Hanmer last week to pay a last tribute to one whose name litis been long revered in the district, and will be for uiany years to come. In the afternoon a muffled peal was rung on the Holt Church bells, and the flags, both at the church and the schools, hung at half-mast all week. Mr. Kenyon was chairman of the managers of the schools since 1873, and a member of the Town Trust since its initiation. Suitable reference was made on Sunday morning by the vicar, the Rev. Jenkyn Jones, in his sermon. A meeting of the Holt and District Conserva- tive Association was hold in Kenyon Hall, last week. the Rev. G. M. Jennings pre- siding. The Chairman proposed "Tht this meeting of the Holt and District Association liegs to record its sonso of the irreparable loss sustained by Holt by the lamented death of the Honourable George Thomas Kenyon. whose assiduous devotion to its interests and welfare, DO only hy long and continuous service on its public bodies, but as its representative-as one of the Denbigh Boroughs-in Parliament for so many years, has placed the borough under a deep and lasting debt of gratitude to him; -and in assuring Mrs. Kenyon and Lord Kenyon of its sincere sympathy in their great bereavement, this meet- ing desires to testify to the unbounded affection and loyalty which at all times existed between Mr. Kenyon and the people of Holt."—The motion was seconded by Mr. Wm. Harrison. who said that the late Mr. Kenyon and he were, prior to Mr. Kenyon's death, the only two left of the original members of the Town Trust of Holt. Mr. Kenyon had been a governor of the Holt Endowed Schools since they were built in 1873.- The resolution was carried by all the members standing. A sub-committee was appointed for the purpose of etting subscriptions for a memorial of the late Mr. Kenyon.

DEE FISHERY HOARD. I ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. I A PROTEST. I The annual meeting of the conservators of the River Dee F is aery District was held at the Town Hall,Chester,on Saturday, Mr. A. T. Wright (Wallasey) presided at the opening of the meeting, and there was a largo attendance. The Hon. C. II. Wynn proposed the election of Mr. W. Y. Hargroavcs as chairman for the entitling ,} Q.¡U. remark ing (hat he had already aeted as deputy-chairman, and had taken a groat interest in everything pertaining to the Dee fishery. Sir Henry B. Roberison seconded. Mr. Joseph Hall (Flint), with all deference to Mr. Hargreaves, moved as an amendment that Mr. J. K Green be elected. Mr. Green understood everything connected vvI *tii ibodee, and was their representative on the Lancashire Fishery Board. Mr. Bi tlie 11 (fishermen's representative) seconded. The Acting-Chairman took a vote on the •amendment by a declaration of "Ayeo" and "Noes," and Mr. Joseph Hall demanded a. stiow of hands. Mr. Hail said the last time he attended the meeting he made up his mind i,hat ho would never altonl the Board any more. (Laughter.) Ho complained that al- though he gave up a largo part of his day to bo present, they were there only 20 minutes au4 dismissed. When any motion was brought forward they wore just told to say "Aye" and "No," and they voted without, knowing what they wore voting about. (Laughter). Fair discission ought to be Allowed on all the sub- jects before tho Board. That was his pro- test. The A'.itittg-Chairn.tm, here interposing, NI r. Hall continued, "As I am representing tire Flintshire County Council, I have every light to state my opinions." A vot.o was then taken by a show of hands. Tlw amendment was lost, and Mr. Hargroavcs was elected by a large majority. On taking the chair, Mr. iiargreavos proposed a vote of condolence illit tlie family of the late Mr. Joau Tiiompaon, w hose place, he said, would be very- difficult to fill) m/i only as oliairman of the Fishery Board, but in oilier public eapaci- tiec which he filled.—Mr. Joseph Hall asso- ciated himself with (be resolution, which was carriod by the members standing. Mr E. W. Swetcnhani was proposed at, vioe- chairman. Mr, J. Hall thought they were in duty bound to eleot Mr. J. E. Green in recognition of his services to the Board, and he moved his elec- tion. Mr. T. Conv/ay seconded, stating thai Mr. Green was a (thoroughly practical fisherman. On a. vote being taken Mr. Sweteiiham was elected. FISHERMEN AND GENERAL f LICENCES. A discussion took place in regard to appli- cations which were received from Mr. Hugh Peel and the Hon. C. H. Wynn for general lioenoes. The applications were strongly op- posed by Mr. D. Sconce and Mr. Joseph Hall on the ground that these licences were unfair to the fishermen. Mr. Hall argued that it was ridiculous to grant general lioe-nces on the terms they did to gentlemen who were enabled to fish two months longer tJlan the fishermen in the lower reaches of the river. It was un- fair to the fishermen that they should have to pay a large sum of money, while gentlemen in the upper roaoiies were let off so lightly. Tho Hon. C. II. Wynn pointed out that the riparian owners preserved tlie salmon spawn- ing beds practically at tlieir own expense, and he merely asked for a general licence as a small return for the largo amount of money he had spent in the upper waters for the preserva- tion of the salmon. There seemed to 00 a suspicion on the part of some fishermen against the gentlemen. if they had more confidence in them they would work together more har- moniously. Mr. I1ug'h Peel said when he made bis ti)- plication he left it to lite Board to decide what was a fair amount for him to pay. He would point out ttmt Ia-st year he caught. only one salmon after the month of June. He expected some considerat-ion from the Board because most of the spawning fish oame out of his water. Mr. S. Perks said the Board were much in- debted to the riparian owners for preserving the fish. The Chairman pointed out that the Board could not have opposed the Birkenhead Water Bill but for tho assistance of 1-ito landowners. Mr. D. Sconce moved, and Mr. J. Hall soxtmded, an amendment that the general licences be granted subject to the payment of E10 in each oase ii'.stead of 93.-Tiie amend- ment was defeated, and it was deckled to grant the licences on the ordinary terms. IMPROVED FISHERY PROSPECTS. I Superintendent, Simpson submitted his an- nual report, in which he stated that the past year's salmon fishing in tho Dee with nets was a fairly good one, and he should say consider- ably above the average of the previous seven or eight years. The Dee was character-is;i- cally a late river, but a good many salmon were caught in April and May last year, and the fishermen got a good price for them. The grilse, of which t,hey bad an excellent crop last year, commenced to run about the middle of J Line, and continued to be caught in the notag until about, the middle of August, which was an unusuafly long season of grilse run- ning. This appearance of so many healthy young fish in the river last, year was very en- couraging, and gave good prospects for the future; for from among their surviving num- boro must come the adult commercial fish and future breeding stock of the Dee. Last year there was no average increase in the number of neta which had been fishing in the river for tho last ten years, and it was to be hoped for the benefit of the fishermen iiicl l,lie future prosperity of the fishery that, no increase in the numbe,r of nets fwhing would take place until tite river had ltad time with increasing stock to recover some of its natural fish- producing power.

THE DIXON FAMILY.-The ftintr%li took place on Friday at Wallasey Church of Mr. Charles Tempest Dixon, who died early on Wednesday at his house in Wallasey.

UNIONIST GAIN. I —— A —— SOUTH HEREFORDSHIRE VERDICT. A THOUSAND MAJORITY. I Capt. Percy Clive (U.) 4,1147 Mr. Whitley Thomson (L.) 923 Unionist majority. 1,010 the toregotng result ot the polling on Friday in South Herefordshire was announced today, and a oontivov U- --4-t Unionist victory. Tho figures at the last election were :-Capt. Ganlner (R.) 4,197, Clive (U.) 4,185, Radical majortty ;)12. In !'?() Capt. Olive was returned unopposed, and tho Unionist majorities in 1893 and LS:)2 were respectively 1,745 and 457. The Unionists have thus gained another seat, while the constituency has returned to its old faith. It is a striking addition to the Unionist successes since the General Election, and makes the fourth Unionist gain and Liberal Government defeat, the other constituencies which have changed their political complexion being Cccker- mouth (Aug. 3, 1905), Brigg (Feb. 27, 1907), and Mid-Devon (Jan. 17 last). During tho polling on Friday there was witnessed quite a picturesque incident. On their way to a meet ui the neighbourhood, the master, Sir William Cooke, and several members of the Ledbury Hunt, wearing hunting costume, rode up the narrow, winding street in which the polling-booth was situated. Dismounting :tt the entrance, they went in and registered their votes, which duty discharged they trotted away with the hounds amid some cheering from the onlookers, to enjoy their day's sport. Captain Clive is the eldest son of the late Mr. C. M. B. Clive and Lady Katherine Feilding, youngest daughter of the seventh Earl of Denbigh. He married about three years ago Alice Muriel, youngest daughter of the late Colonel G. F. Dallas. ENTHUSIASM AT HEREFORD. The declaration at Hereford was received with great enthusiasm by a vast crowd. Capt. Clive, interviewed, attributed the victory to hard work. an extraordinary desire to turn out the Radical Government, and the growing intelligence of the electors on .the subject of Tariff Reform. CONGRATULATIONS. Mr. Balfour and Sir Alexander Hood (chief Unionist whip) have telegraphed their congratula- tions to Captain Clive upon his victory.

BROXTON LICENSING SESSIONS. — T » EXCELLENT RECORD. HOUSE WTTIl A PECULIAR CHARM. I lho annual hocusing sessions tor 1110 rSioxlon division was held on Monday, the magistrates on the bench being Mr. Robert Howard (in tlie chair), Lord Arthur Gtosvenor, Capt. R. W. Etlielston, and Messrs. Evan Langley, John JOIl and W. it. Cartwright. Supt. II ick-s, in his annual report, .slated iliat there were 28 licensed victuallers, seven bewtr- soilors, and one other who told off the pieiruses; total 36, giving an average- of 312 of the popula- tion to each licence. Two licensed victuallers had Iveon proceeded against titii-itig fit- year, one of whom was convicted, which was tlie same as the number pioceetk<l against and convicted in the preceding year. No beer-sellers had been proceeded against. There were- 23 persons pto- oeeded against for drunkenness during the year, 21 of whom woro convicted, as compared with 29 proceeded against and 28 convicted in the preceding year. The. Fish Illil, Shocklach Oviatt, was closed on Dec. 24 last, compensa- tion having been paid. The alterations to the bar at I die New Inn, Hampton, sanctioned by the justices oil 28th May, 1907, bad been faith- ( fully carried out- according to the p'ans (lion submit ted. The alterations to the bar, etc., of the Clown lIord, Malpas, sanctioned ou Nov. last-, had not yet been completed. The Chairman said nothing peculiar luad tran- spired during tho year, except that there was a diminution of one licence—that of the Fish Iml, Shoeklaoh. T'hi3 was a public house with whioh he litad been intimately connected and concerned for the last 50 years. Tho village had always stiffeted from what was called pubhe- house redundancy. There had never boon iiioie than one house required, aud the house now o'osed liad special surroundings, and appeared to possc-ys in the past the peculiar charm of drawing a number of pcopi? together for socmi and pleasurable puipos?a, which had boon at- tended with considerable and excessive drink- ing. He hoped the suppK'ssion of the licence would benefit (4te neighbourhood and the conn try. It would now be more easy for the polioo I to exercise supervision, and he trusted that in fntuT3 they would have in the neighbourhood Hit improvement. Certainly benefit would ac- crue Lom the extra and simplified supervision, and it would be moie easy for tho police to keep order in the village. There was nothing else in the report which called for remark. He believed tihere wete no objections lo the re. newal of licences. Supt- Hicks; None at all. A II (he licences wero accordingly ivneweif. A number of exemptions fiom dog licences under the new Act were granted.

OF INTEREST TO CHESTER. News adout a Chester man is naturally of peculiar interest to all of us who are neigh- bours. Ordinary g; ssip about a neighbour goes in at one ear and cut at the other, but news of sitch importance, as this is to many of Uti, is fiomething to lie read and remembered. 1 Mr. William Haycock, 2, Gee's-court, Christie- ton-road. Chester, says:—"I have told many people about. Doan's backache kidney pills, for they have done iiic so much good that I can c-)i;A,Iently recommend them. "Before I took the pills I suffered very much with pains in my back and round the loins; at times f could hardly get out of bed, my back was so bad. I knew my kidneys were the causo of the trouble, because the secretions were un' natural. "After I had fried many medicines without success. I heard of Doart's backache kidney pills, and I determined to give them a trial. I soon found they were just right, for my complaint, for from the first I began to improve. I went on with the pills, and [ can honestly say they have done me a great deal of good I cannot speak too highly of Dean's pills, (Signed) W. Haycock. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shil- lings and nincpenee per box (six boxes for thir- teen shillings and ninepencc).

THE REFUSE DESTRUCTOR.—The ques- tion of the refuse destructor in Chester is not to be passed over lightly by people living in the vicinity ef the Electric Light Works. Wø believe the governors of the Infirmary and thIJ Queen's School. together with the inhabitant9 likely to be affected in the neighbourhood. & alio tit to take strenuous steps to defend theit interests.
