GRIFFITHS, BUILDER, LLANELLI.—On Saturday afternoon, the 21st ultimo, there passed peacefully away at Inker- man-street, Llanelly, in the 63rd year of his age, a resident whose family name has for generations been connected with the growth of the town. Mr William Griffiths had been ailing for some months, and a few weeks back visited, in the interests of his health, his daughter, Mrs Spinks, wife of Mr G. H. Spinks, compositor at the Marry Dock JYeics Offices, Cadoxton-Barry, but returned no better, and succumbed to complica- tions on the date named. For the preceding week he was confined to his bed-chamber, and there received the tender ministrations of those nearest and dearest to him. He was a gentleman 'highly respected by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Guileless and good, his integrity of character was respected and revered by all who knew him. He was a faithful member of Taber- nacle Chapel ever since the establishment of the -.cause. We sympathise with the sorrowing widow and family in their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on the 29th ultimo, the Rev D. Wynne Evans officiating at the grave.

During the proceedings the chairman delivered an interesting address, dwelling in appropriate terms upon the simplicity and harmony of flowers, and pointed out to the young people present the duty of emulating the example which the sweet beauties of nature so vividly taught. The members of the choir carried rich bouquets of field and garden flowers, and the sacred edifice was also tastefully decorated, the entire proceedings reflecting great credit upon the taste and artistic skill of the promoters. The entertainment, we understand, will be repeated at Penarth and elsewhere. Penarth and elsewhere. BARRY DOCK. MR J.
