THE LATE MR. JOHN JONES (IVON).
THE LATE MR. JOHN JONES (IVON). [IJ In the decease of Mr Jones death has robbed our town of one of the most interest- ing of its inhabitants, a man of most varied experience and very extraordinary character. He had an acquaintance with local antiquari- an lore with which none of the presedt gener- Z", ation or that just disappearing could in any way compare. He had a splendid memory, and his readintss in recalling events which he had himself witnessed or others of which he had heard from a variety of sources, made him of inestimable value either in clearing up difficulties or in helping others to set on record the things of long ago. All his store of knowledge was always at the command of anybody who needed it. It was very rarely indeed that he was consulted in regard to local events of the last sixty-five years and was unable to throw some light on questions about which information was required. He had infinite humour and excellent fancy," and these marvellous qualities, which he possessed in such profusion, made him the pleasantest of companions. His ready and keen wit and his bubbling humour are well- known to a very large circle of friends far beyond the limits of our town and neighbour- hood. Amongst friends, each relating to the other, his reminiscences of former years, he sat chief, scattering with a lavished hand his recollections, often to the confusion of those who were privileged to be of the company and around his own hearth, where his nearest friends so often gathered, his utter- ances were listened to and treasured as the sayings of an oracle. Many of these valuable utterances regarding former events in the history of our town have fortunately been saved from oblivion. In his death we have lost a capital narrator of anecdotes as well as an almost inexhaustible store of them. Mr Jones was born on May 10th, 1820. He was the son of David and Hannah Jones, of Bethel, Mynydd Bach, and was brother of the late Mr David Jones, manager for 50 years of the National Provincial Bank. Both brothers possessed the character- istic qualities of men born in that part of our county where they first saw the light. Mr Jones was ten years junior to his brother David. Both brothers received their early education under Owen Morris at Bethel—a man of whom much might be said, an old excise officer who had travelled a good deal more than fell to the share of people of his station in life, a man of rare ability in math- ematics, and particularly strong in penman- ship and in mensuration and gauging. Ivon was never tired of making long references to his old schoolmaster and acknowledging his indebtedness to him. In 1835, Ivon was apprenticed to the late Mr Lewis Jones, Canton House, and father to Mr Lewis Jones, clerk, of Aberystwyth. His employer's establishment was one of the very largest in this town. He had one large place of business at "Canton House" (where Mr Harry Wheatley now lives) and another in upper Great Darkgate street, where the Sailor's Home is now situate. Ivon was mostly fixed at the latter shop. He often referred in very affectionate terms to his old employer, and had most amusing anecdotes to tell about those early years of his apprenticeship. The lad had made the acquaintance of our town some years before beginning residence here. A visit paid in September, 1831, was to him, as indeed it must have been to all intelligent boys, a per- fect revelation. Accompanying his father in search of some literature relative to Sunday School work, he was taken to the late Rev. Edward Jones, and from there to the printing office of Mrs Esther Williams, mother of the late Alderman Philip Williams. And there, in an upper room in the corner of the house now held by Mrs Margaret Samuel, in Bridge street, he first saw a printing press, and Adda Fras, who afterwards became one of his greatest friends, working at it. The old press and the printer made a lasting impression on the lad's mind. Ivon was much interested in the process of printing at the time, inasmuch as his interest had been excited by what he had heard from his old schoolmaster Owen Morris, and an old servant, Mari, who hnd been to Carmarthen and seen presses at work, and brought home marvellous accounts to the lad about what seemed to him deeply mysterious operations. Soon after coming to Aberystwythhe began to apply himself to studying the intricate rules regarding Welsh metres and in this study he was largely assisted by his cousin, Dewi o'r Ddol, a very talented young man, who appears to have taken the whole field of knowledge for his province. Their text books were Bardd Nantglyn's book and Richards' grammar with the prosody at the end. Of Dewi o'r Ddol, as well as of very many others with whom Ivon was thrown in contact, both in his early and later years, many interesting facts might be given. In 1836 the Temper- ance wave swept over large portions of Wales, and our own neighbourhood felt the beneficent influences of the tide. It was in October of that year that Ivon, then mostly residing at Canton House, signed the pledge. He and the late Mr John Ellis, gunsmith, were then fast friends, and both resolved to join the total abstinence band, and both attached their names at the same time to the pledge book, in the house of the late Mr John Matthews, in Great Darkgate street, where Mr Collins now lives. In the early forties the late Mr Edward Edwards (Pen- cerdd Ceredigion) had firmly established himself as a singer and musician of great repute. He bad already formed a choir of whose splendid future there was even then a happy augury. Ivon, though by no means a musician, rendered invaluable service to the choir. Printed music, of anthems and oratorios, was very expensive, and Ivon assisted the conductor in copying out music, which was quite outside the financial power of the choir's members to procure. Ivon also wrote temperance hymns, and translated ] others from English into Welsh, which were sung in processions, which were in vogue even in those early years of the temperance < movement. It was through the kind offices < of copyists like Ivon and the Pencerdd" E that thy Mmiah, The Cnatwrh Elijah, < Mozart$Twelfth Mass and other masterpieces were first performed in Aberystwyth. Ivon never forgot the pleasure he derived from the music, and the Pencerdd never forgot his indebtedness to the copyist. Both were firmest friends to the end. September of 1897 removed the veteran singer and con- ductor, and September of 1898 took from us his life long friend and stalwart supporter. Though as has been said Ivon was not a professed musician, he had taken an interest in music very early in life, and had attended lessons in classes held by the old teacher in Church Psalmody, Dafydd Siencyn Morgan; and as in other departments, so in this, he had a very great knowledge of the early musicians of the vicinity-the Rev Evan Rees, Billy Collins, Dafydd Roderick, &c. NEW AND OBSERVATIONS:'
S AND OBSERVATIONS:'
ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. The third annual show of the Talybont and North Cardiganshire Agricultural Society, held on Thursday, proved as successful as was anticipated. The weather being favourable there was a large attendance of agricultural- ists and others. When the society was first started there were many who thought that it would not succeed, but the results have fully justified the promoters. For some years the North Cardiganshire Show, held at Aberyst- wyth, was very successful, but ultimately it drooped and died, chiefly from weakness in the management. It would not be amiss if a similar Society were established for the dis- trict between the Rheidol and Ystrad Menrig, but everything would depend upon the man- agement The success of the Talybont Society is due to the good and suitable men who have it in hand. By the way, it is surprising how some people write about agricultural matters. One writer says that in an agricultural show horticulture forms bnt a small part, and that horses, cattle and sheep form the chief attraction At the Town Council meeting, on Tuesday, letters were read from Mr D. C. Roberts respecting the field adjoining his timber yard, and from Mr Isaac Hopkins respecting the renewal of the leases of his two houses in South road. Mr T. Mortimer Green, registrar of the University of Wales, asked that the electric lamp now in front of Balmoral House should be placed in front of the Alexandra Hall, and the question was referred to the Public Lights Committee. Seeing that the unfinished road from Victoria terrace to Brynymor terrace and the new houses in the neighbour- hood, over which thousands of people pass on their way to and from the cliff railway, is in darkness, Alderman Palmer's suggestion that a new lamp should be placed at the north corner of the Terrace is a good one. The report of the General Purposes Com- mittee recommending that permission be given to Mr Harry Collins to bring a minstrel troupe to the town was adopted. As the Town Clerk said, this will give Mr Collins an opportunity of engaging suitable talent, and it will also enable him to make more satis- factory terms with respect to next season. Alderman Palmer justly said that Mr Collins always provides a good and respectable troupe. On the motion of Alderman Doughton, seconded by Mr J. P. Thomas, it was unani- mously decided to bring the unsatisfactory postal arrangement before Parliament. The annual regatta, on Friday, proved to be more than usually successful, the wind and weather being all that could be desired. The half-yearly horse fair, held on Satur- day, was successful in many respects. The better class of horses so!d at good prices, and farmers should do all they can to improve breeds suitable for home use and for the English markets. Last week we had to announce the death of the Rev. William Davies, M.A., vic tr of LlanllavvddOg, which occurred on the previous Saturday, under most distressing circum- stances. As our readers will remember, the deceased gentleman attempted to commit suicide, by cutting his throat, some months ago, bat he recovered so well that he was able to resume his duties. Last monfh Mr Davies wrote to tell us that he proposed to pay a visit to Aberyst- wyth, and during the ten days be was in the town we saw a good depl of him. On one occasion he referred to the previous attempt to take his own life, which he attributed to illness, and said it was due to extra labour and anxiety which had followed his appoint- ment as Editor of the Llan, which was thee printed at Carmarthen. The Committee ap- pointed him to the editorship without his knowledge, and he did not like to refuse to accede to their wishes, although it cost him a great deal of anxiety—unnecessary anxiety. Mr Davies was one of those men who are cautious, painstaking, and self-sacrificing, and in his quiet way he was almost an ideal parish clergyman. He was for some years vicar of Llanfihangel Geneu'rglyn, and during that time he endeared himself to his parish- ioners, and to all who came in contact with him. During his ministry the Parish Church was rebuilt, and the Vicarage was enlarged and restored; a new iron Church was erected at Talybont, and the debt on St. Mathew's Church, Borth, was practically cleared away. Mr Davies was married to one of the daughters of the late Archdeacon James, Abergwili, who, with two sons and one daughter, snrvives him, and with whom much sympathy is felt. Mr E. J. Jenkins, Bridge street, has been appointed head master of Caeclynog Board C3 School, Ruthin. Mr Jenkins was educated at the University College of Wales. Chancellor Silvan Evans, who has been seriously indisposed since April is, we are pleased to hear, making very excellent pro- gress towards recovery. On fine days be is :1 ible to take some open-air exercise in the grounds. Mr David Samuel, who spent last I veek-end at Llanwrin Rectory, brings us very jncouraging news about the Chancellor's jocvalescence. Mr Pike Pease, Unionist, was on Saturday elected Member for Darlington, in succession to Mr A. Pease. Darlington is the sixty- eighth bye-election, and Mr Pike Pease the sixty-second ngw member. The Radicals have gained eleven seats and lost three, leaving them with a net gnin of eight, and reducing the Government majority to J 3(3. His friends will be sorry to hear of the serious illness of the Rev. D. Parker Morgan, D.D., rector of one of the most influential Episcopal churches in New York. The rev. gentleman was vicar of Aberdovey before he went to America. Mr W. Rees Williams, Aberamman, has been appointed assistant master of the Towyn Intermediate School. W hy is this thus ? There lies before us four papers published in South or Mid WaldS, pro- fessedly in the interests of the Church or the Unionists, and they one and all devote their leading articles to general subjects, as dis- tinguished from subjects which are of special interest to their readers and supporters. Y Brythoii gives three columns of Editorial space to the taking of Omdurman Y Llan has an article on the Avenging of Gordon and the Tsar's Peace Proposals; the Carmarthen Journal's leader is on Crete, and a Mont- gomeryshire paper deals with the Assassina- tion of the Austrian Empress. Is it not strange that so many Editors prefer to pub- lish articles relating to Foreign affairs when there are so many local subjects close at hand ? How do you account for it ? H.M.S. Hazard, which was actively en- gaged in the disturbances in Crete, when several of her crew were killed or wounded, is commanded by Lieut. P. Vaughan Lewes, D.S.O., son of Colonel Lewes, Llanllear.

SPECIAL HOMID READINGS. SERIES II.-THE DIETARY OF WELL- REGULATED FAMILIES. Dr Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa has become a household word, and this wonderful Food-beverage has come to take an important place in the dietary of the bast-regulated families.. Dr Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa is a natural food, and by its merits alone-having been once fully and fairly placed before the public—it must become a national food, to the general advancement of British health and vigour. Tired men, whether suffering from physical or mental fatigue, delicate women, growing girls and little children find this unique beverage of inestimable benefit. The nauseous drugfi and disagreeable medi- cines associated with ill-health are, in Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, replaced by something which is pleasant and nice, with a distinctive flavouring of its own which will appeal to the fastidious and over-nice palate of the invalid, and its soothing effects renders it an ideal Pick-me-up." Dr Tibbies, Vi-Cocoa, by taking the place of stim- ulants of an ardent nature, has made happy many a home which otherwise to-day would have been wretched, and the ultimate effects of which it is im- possible to foresee. For breakfast, dinner, supper— indeed, at ary hour of the twenty-four—Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa will be found light and refreshing it leads the way among all beverages, and nothing can equal it.

NEW COUNTY SCHOOL AT ABKKAYRON.…
NEW COUNTY SCHOOL AT ABKKAYRON. OPENING CEREMONY. On Monday afternoon the new county school at Aberayron was formally declared open by Mrs Price Lewes. Tyglyn Aeron, who wished the school all success and prosperity.—Major Price Lewes apologised on behalf of the managers for several absentees, notably Mrs Lewes, Llanayron, who was unable to be present owing to advanced age, but showed the deep interest she felt in the t, school when she offered the site, but her powers were limited. He hoped the people of Wales would take full advantage of the intermediate schools, so that Welsh children would be able to compete with those of other nations in the battle of life.- Principal Roberts, Aberystwyth, said he felt it a privilege to be present to witness the com- pletion of the task undertaken by the governors, and meet for the first time the new principal of St David's College, whose work in Wales he hoped would be happy and success- ful. Certain differences existed between different parties, but he believed that there was a real and deep co-operation between men and women of all parties on behalf of the cause of education. He was also pleased to meet Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., who had been most faithful and earnest in support of education. He bad been strack at the success of the school during its first year. This was gratifying to the headmaster, Mr Gwyn Jones, and showed that he attempted to carry on the work of the school in the true spirit of a teacher. Speak- ing of elementary teachers, he strongly recommended the system adopted by the Festiniog School Board, under which the pupil teachers served their first two years in the county school.-Principal Bebb, Lampeter, said be felt that there was, perhaps, a danger of sending children from elementary schools i to intermediate schools before they were really 1 ready for it. He was glad to find that that 8 was not the case in that district, and he advocated that children should be grounded well in the principles of elementary education in order to take full advantage of intermediate education. Again, he thought there was a danger of people thinking that children could learn everything in a term or two at inter- mediate schools. The real aim should be to so educate the boy that he would be able to educate himself. Teachers should endeavour to train children so that they could cope with difficulties in examination. He hoped Principal Roberts and himself would co-operate in the highest form of education in Wales.—Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., said that in 1863 Sir Hugh Owen mooted the question of a college for Wales. After its establishment it was supported for ten years by the generosity of the Welsh people. The people should not look at education as a money-making affair. Mr Vaughan Davies presented a cheque of five guineas towards the school fund.-Prof. Williams, Lampeter, the Rev J. M. Griffiths, and Mr Morgan Evans, J.P., spoke, and Alderman Howell gave the history of the movement. A very able paper was also read from Mr L. J. Roberts, Her Majesty's inspector of schools, who regretted his inability to attend, and wished the school all prosperity. The guests, numbering 300, were provided with tea br Mrs Price Lewes.

The Complainant deposed that she was fifteen years of atre, and lived with her mother at 1, London nlace, Borth. About six o'clock on Thursday even- ing she was returning hom t over the path running through Alltycrib wood. Mary Ann Jones, of T«]y- bont, accompanied her part of the way, and soon a'ter she had turned back—she might have walk»d 200 yards—she beard someone running towar 's her. It was the Accuse I, whom sh- had never seen before She was positive it wis the Prisoner. He htopped opposite her, and asked her where she was going, and how she was. The Accused then asked her if she knew him, and she replied No." He then said—" I know you there is Ann in your name." He also said she came from B jrtb. Wituess denied that fhe came from Borth, and the Prisoner then placed his arms round her neck as if he wa'.bd to kiss h-r. He afterwards tried to throw her down, and eventu- ally got her down on her back. Witness screamed and shouted, whereupon the Accused tried to place his hand on her mouth. By this t'tm he had opened his trousers, and attempted to pull up her petticoats bnt failed as she struggled too much for him. Hearing someone coming towards them, Witness drpw th9 Prisoner's attention to the fact. He looked round but saw no one. By and by two boys and two girls came up, and the Accused got up and ran away. Witness was on the ground when these persons came up, and she told them what had happened. One of the-boys ran after the Accused to see if he could find one who he was, but failed to do so. She saw the Accused's person when he was strnggling with her, and he placed his hind under her clothes. He pla-ie l his knee on her breast to keep her down, and held his band on her mouth to prevent her screaming. She wa3 not hurt much except about the chest. They were struggling together for about three-quarters of an honr, the Prisoner being uppermost the whole time. She felt very weak when the persons she had spoken of came up, and could hardly speak. She told her mother what had happened when she got home, and she went to see the Policeman. Accompanied by her brother and P.C. Lewis Davies she went to Llwyn- ysguborwen to identify the Accused. Witness knew him at once as the man who had assaulted her. P.C. Lewis Davies, stitioned at Borth, deposed that the Complainant's mother informed him of the assault, and showed him the clothes she was wearing at the time, which were very dirty. That morning (Saturday), the Complainant not being able to go the previous day, he accompanied her and her brother to Llwynysguborwen, where they saw the Accused sleeping in a field. Witness having woke him up, charged him with having indecently assaulted the Complainant, and cautioned him in the usual way and told him that he would have to accompany him to Aberystwyth. The Accused begged very hard not to be taken, and wanted to know whether it would be necessary to take him if he admitted everything or settled with the girl. He also caid that it was all through drink that he had been drinking heavily all day, and he did not know what he was doing. Witness then t jok the Accused into custody, and had him conveyed to the Aberystwyth Police Station. In reply to the charge the Prisoner said he was drunk, and did not know what he was doing.
