THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH. Britannia is the symbol of strength at home and abroad, and whether upon the ocean wave or in the serried ranks of her brave sons in Egypt, India, or China, t1.0 fame of our coun- try is always identified with power of will and strength of nerve—the highest state of cour- age that makes heroes. Science is the lacd maid that heips to maintain this standard of supremacy, and the great gifts of nature -,rb concentrated for the use of men in Gw J ý"n Evans' Quinine Bitters, a Tonic to keep every faculty at its brightest and its best. Mighty is the power of the spade and those who wield it are the pioneers cf our greatness. The fearless miner burrowing in the earth and the strong navvy removing mountains are the very sinews of the nation. These men must always keep their strength at full stretch. Labour of the severest is their lot and full health is necessary in accomplishing their daily tasks, and if they are attacked with Indigestion, Liver Disorders, or Pains in the Back, they know they can find relief by taking Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, The Vegetable Tonic. The hard working toilers, generally, of the United Kingdom, should remember the old saying, "Prevention is better than cure," and that just as it is necessary to call in a medical man, when brain and body are overtaxed, so is it desirable to do all that is possible to keep the system thoroughly up to the mark, for every rush of competition and extra labour. You have a regular doctor, have you a regular preservative of health to save you from the doctor and the doctor's bills? If not, try Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, The Great Tonic Preventative against Serious Illness. The distressing worries of a family household lead to the greatest suffering-the nervous system being specially strained in the turmoil, and Neuralgia, Nervousness, and Debility, with their attendant miseries are the most fre- quent torments that women in particular have to endure. Low Spirits and Depression often render housewives quite unfit for their oner- ous duties and to prevent this condition Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is strongly recom- mended. Don't delay if you feel out of sorts, but get Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, a purely vegetable tonic, which contains the strengthening qualities of Sarsaparilla, Saffron, Burdock, Gentian, Lavender, and Dandelion, as well as Quinine. The exact re- medy you want for Palpitation. Sleeplessness, Biliousness, or Rheumatism. It not only gives you freedom from pain. but strength and zest for your work that makes it a Measure. This perfection of medicinal preparations is advo- cated as a first aid towards quickening com- mercial instincts of the countinghouse or th market place: it is a Tonic that is sure to be wanted. This world-renowned remedy is sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Beware of Imitations. See that you get Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters with the name Gwilym Evans" on the Label. Stamp, and Bottle. This is important. Sole Proprie- tors Quinine Bitters Manufacturing Com- pany, Limited. Llanelly, South Wales.

Allow me to protest against this, as it leads to degiadai ion o<. civic life. The true citizen seeks a public position from disinterested motives. Gall this be said when it man utilizes membership of it public bocird us a stepping stone to a lucrative post I buch a man iiiu.>t apply to himself, and take a part in appointing himself. All honest men must hope that the Committee will discounten- ance sucn practices.—Yours, &c., JUSTITIA. BAD NEWS FOR TOWYN. SIR, -Som-e days since, the bad news arrived that the negotiations between the Urban Dis- trict Council, Dr. Corbett. owner of Ynysy- maengwyn, and the Abergynolwvn Slate Com- pany for opening slate quarries had fallen through. There is undoubtedly a splendid slate vein on the land recently purchased by the Council, principally for the protection of the town's water supply, but which oould be worked without doing any injury to the water supply. It appears from the scanty information which has been allowed to leak out "that the Company were anxious to take some land from the owner of Ynysymaengwyn beyond that be- longing to the Council. Anyhow, after negotiations had been carried on for over a year,, the. matter has fallen through, which is a most lamentable occurrence, especially when it had been proved beyond doubt that the slate vein runs through the property and that every facility exists, water included for carrying on the works. The Talyllyn Railway runs though the very skirts of the slate vein and a very strong brook runs across it. The dis- tance to Towyn is only a few yeards over two miles and the Abergynolwyn Slate Company have proved themselves possessed of money resources, skill, and enterprise and have car- ried on most successfully for over thirty years works in the district that have cost them at times thousands of pounds a month. At present, it is understood that work of every description is very short at Towyn and it was fondly hoped that the opening of the quarries would prove to be the commencement of a prosperous era in the place and it may well be imagined what a disappointment the going off in the negotiations has proved to the place. It is much to be hoped that the members of the Council have done their duty to the town. Without making any reflection upon them, I mav be allowed to say plainly that the secret way in which they treated a matter of such importance has been viewed with suspicion from the commencement and the time is coming when they may rest assured that the treatment of this matter will be thoroughly overhauled. -Yours, etc., DISAPPOINTED. A NUISANCE. SIR,-If the dwellers in North-parade who keep dogs to bark and howl during the night, and cocks to crow from three to after eight o'clock in the morning were less obtuse in their sensibilities, they would shew some regard for the feelings of their neighbours by at once putting a stop to these intolerable noises. In spite of complaint s that have already been made against this state of things, the howling and barking of dogs and crowing of cocks still goes on night after night, and no one attemps to put a stop to it. If something in this direction is not done shortly, further steps in the matter will be taken. Asking you, sir to kindly give space to this and oblige.—I am, A RESI £ FNT. TREGARON WATER SUPPLY. Siti,-I find that the Tregaron people have decided to put down six pumps to supply the town with water instead of the more expensive scheme of bringing water from Pencefn, and as Tregaron is not a very fast-rising place this may meet their wants for many years to come and at an ex- pense not to exceed £100. It has also been decided to erect two urinals at the end of the new bridge. Bravo go along. Can you, Mr Editor, or some of the many readers of your paper, through the medium of the Cambrian Mews,explain who pays the piper—the ratepayers of Tregaron or the parish of Tregaron,or the whole ratepayers of Tregaron Union. INTERESTED. CARDIGANSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. Sm,-In the report of the proceedings of the Education Committee at Lampeter on September 29th, which appeared in your last issue, Mr. J. Rees, Bont, is reported to have suggested the appointment of a director of education during the discussion concerning the appointment of clerk. This is incorrect and wntrary to the views held by the majority of elementary teachers in the county. Mr. Rees simply asked if it were not possible for the clerk to be a kind of organizing secretary so as in one sense to combine the two offices of clerkship and directorship since the Com- mittee seemed divided in opinion as to the duties to 00 performed by the Clerk, some contending that he should only be called upon to do the clerical work of the Committee, while others held he should assist the district committees in focussing their ideas on the same line of procedure, thus securing uni- formity throughout the whole county. Mr. Recs held that H.M. inspectors and other inspectors under the Board of Education were organizers, as they assisted the staffs of the elementary and secondary schools in making out schems of instruction and other matters. VERITAS.

LLaN Y lS Y THfcit Sdhool Attendance.—Members of the teach- ing profession, as well as those interested in education, will be pleased to learn that the attendance at the Carmarthenshire Council Schols (group 6) has very much improved since the appointment of the new attendance officer. Some schools in group 6, in remote and moun- tainous districts have had their average at- tendance increased to ninety-seven per cent. Very few schools indeed, if any. fall below ninety in the group. This speaks very high! of Mr. G. H. Hayward, the newly-appoyited officer to the said group of chools, which lie far and distant, and therefore not easily to work. MedioaL-Dr. E. C. Thomas who was men- tioned in our last week's issue as having been appointed surgeon to tho Powell Dyffryn Col- lieries has decided to remain at Llanybyther, as he fears that he is not physically strong enough to undertake the arduous duties of a large colliery practice. Preaching Meetings.—The Congregational- ists of Rhydybont held their annual preach- ing meetings on Tuesday evening and Wed- nesday, the 4th and 5th October. Th.3 in- vited ministers for the occasion were the Rev D. Davies, Rhydyceisiaid. and the Rev. J. J. Jones B.A., Llanelly. They preached most appropriate sermons to a large congrv;aticn of ardent listeners who had come together for far and near to hear these emineit mes s'ei:gers of the gospel. At the end of t'afl; ervlne. a collectiufl was made towards (it-fiay- ing the expenses and a substantial sum was easily obtained.

"PLUCKY MR. LLOYD-GEORGE." Gwyn Hall, Neath. was crowded on Tuesday night to welcome Canon Barker on the occasion of his visit in furtherance of the united temper- ance mission. Rev J. H. Harries presided. Canon Barker, in the course of an eloquent, address, described the Licensing Act as an iniquitous measure. Although it was a very difficult matter to repeal an Act of Parliament, he hoped that when the next Government got into power they would set to work to effect im- Eortant modifications in the measures, which ad been framed, not for the public, but for the publican. He hoped the Welsh people would be so aroused that they would share in the glory of the result. He had often heard dear old Mr Gladstone refer to plucky little Wales. Wales had a big fight on now-one which she was going to win. It was not possible to coerce a whole nation. The eyes of the country, nay, of the whole world, were fixed on Wales and her gallant fight. Mr Lloyd-George was a plucky fellow, a splendid speaker, a man of extraordinary wit, and, what was more, he was a leader whom others were willing to follow. Anti, aye, added the Canon, he will lead you to victory. It was a grand spectacle, that of a people stirring them- selves in such emasculate days and girding them- selves with determination and ardour to fight for liberty and justice. Victory was coming to the Welsh people and they well deserve it.

SAD ACCIDENT. -uast Thursday morning the town was v-axiy shocked by hearing the sad news that Mis Davies, widow of the late Mr Richard U it lies, painter and sister to Mrs John Evans 1 ji-ory, had met with a fatal accident the 1 ij_,iit previous. Mrs Davies had for some jours been engaged in the service of Mrs. ¡) ,Hon, Eryl Aran, as housekeeper. On last Wednesday evening (October 5th), Mrs Davies ellt out for a short walk, which she was ac- .cl.,tomed to do after dinner. As she did not return in the usual time the other ser- ,tiits became anxious and began to enquire tur her, but it appears that no one had seen iter after she left the house. The household t ryl ran became very anxious and they carefully searched everywhere. Not being successful about the house and grounds, a search was made along the main road and about midnight her body was found. Mrs Davies had fallen over the wall which is on the lake side just opposite the private path which leads to Eryl Aran and had sustained very serious injuries. Her body was taken to her sister's house. It was very stormy on Wed- nesday night and it is surmisedthat the de- ceased accidentally fell over the wall. Great sympathy is felt with the family of the de- eeasec., especially with her sister in the sudden and unexpected trouble which has befallen them. On Thursday last an inquest was held before Mr. R. 0. Jones, county coroner and the following jul-y:Vessrs. John Jones. Tegid House (foreman). R. T^vans, Sei-eii Ofbce, Evan Davies. bookbinder, J.'B. Parry, grocer, 0. H. Hughes. watchmaker. John Phillips. Goat Hotel. B. J. Williams. Cross I'oxes, Joseph J. Jones, College View, Thomas Owen, Belle Vista, E. W. Evans High-street Owen Richards. T High-street. D. C. Jones draper.—Gwen Ellis said she was in the ser-j vice of Mrs Burton. Eryl Aran as cook. The' deceased was also in service at Ervl Aran as housemaid and was a widow sixt), years of age. She (witness) last saw her alive about ten minutes to eight on the previous evening (Wednesday.) She was then starting from the hou c. She did not say anytiTnig on leaving and was not dressed to go out for a walk. She had a mob-cap on and a white apron. She sometimes used to go out like this. Witness did not see her after she left the'house. She was quite sober. As the deceased was very v long returning the inmates of the house be- came uneasy in the house and went to look for her. They carefully searched everywhere in the house and when they found that they could not find her, they informed the coach- man and groom, who went to look outside. It was very stormy when deceased went out, raining hard and very windy. Witness did not say anything to deceased when she was going out as to the weather being stormy. The deceased never showed anv signs that she would do any injury to herself. She was in a good and comfortable situation.—Edward Jones, head gardener at Eryl Aran, said he was called about 10.15 the previous night to search for the deceased. He was informed that she had been lost from the house since about ten minutes to eight. He searched everywhere outside the house and the out- buildings. Not finding her, he then went down towards the lake and, after searching for some time. he found the body on the shore just opposite the small gate of the private path leading to Eryl Aran. The body when found was in very shallow water. If it had not been for the rain and wind which pre- vailed on Wednesday eventing there would have been no water where the body was found. He examined the place on the following morn- ing, but found no traces of anything. He believed that the deceased had fallen over the wan. It was quite possible that she may have been blown over as it was very stormy. He noticed there was a. large stone near where the body was found. It was possible that her head came in contact with the stone after she was blown over. There was not enough water for her to drown herself at the place where the body was found. After finding the body he went and informed them at Eryl Aran and afterwards informed Inspector Morgans and Dr Williams of the accident. The bodv was then removed to the house of the deceased sister in Arenig-street-.— Dr Williams said he was called about twelve o'clock the previous night to view the body of the deoeased, which ho found lying on the lake shore, face down- wards, close to the wall in very shallow water. He examined it and found a fracture of the bone on the left side of the head. The jaw bone on the left side was also fractured, and the left shoulder was dislocated and an abra- sion on the left hand. The injuries were suffi- cient to cause unconsciousness. He visited the place the following morning and noticed a large stone. There were slight marks on it, but not so much as would have been ex- pected after such an accident, but this was no doubt due to the rain and storm having washed all traces away. In his opinion death was due to fracture of the skull caused by accidentally falling over the wall on the stone below. Owing to the stormy weather it was possible that she may have been blown over the wall. There were no signs whatever of drowning and there was not enough water there for a person to get drowned.—In reply to Inspector Morgans. Dr Williams said there were no signs of foul play, nor was there the slightest trace that the deceased had taken any intoxicating drink. In reply to the jury, witness added that the wall was eighteen inches above the footpath. He was of the opinion that there was not suffi- cient protection and it was not safe, especially on such stormy nights as that experienced on Wednesday evening.—The Coroner having briefly summed up, the jurv returned a ver- dict in accordance with the medical evidence. -On the motion of the Foreman, seconded by Mr. E. W. Evans. the jur- unanimously passed a vote of condolence with the family of the deceased in their sad bereavement.— The jury also resolved that the attention of the County Council be called to this spot with a request that they should provide better pro- tection between the road and the Lake, from the place where tho accident occurred to the place which is already fenced. The Coroner intimated that. he would send the recommen- dation to the proper authority.

Over Snowdon.—A fortnight to tins day your correspondent and a Cambrian Railway official accomplished the ascent of Snowdon, the King of Welsh mountains but alas. the summit was enveloped—and they with it- in the proverbial white cloud which a friendly wind strenuously but. unsuccessfully tried to disperse. This cloud was entered just before reaching the narrow ridge of Bwlchymaen (3,080 feet), the terror of timid minds and where a recent night party so un- fortunatelv collapsed. The ascent was made from Bedd"gelert and along the Rbyd-ddu route which is easy and romantic even with a cloud.

A Substantial Balance.—The financial posi- tion owing to several parishes being in arrear with calls, was a subject of considerable con- cern a few weeks ago. There is now a bal- ance in hand of £ 1,465. Half-Yearly Revision.-The Board were en- gaged for about two hours in the work of re- vising the relief lists. "rho result was a total decrease in the Tremadoc cases of 23s. 6d. per week and a total increase of 13s., giving a net decrease of 10s. 6d. In Deudraeth there was a net weekly decrease of 9s. 6d., but in the Festiniog district there was a substantial increase. The Festiniog Relieving Officer (Mr W. Thomas) presented an interesting return. It appears that in October 1891. when he took office there were 598 paupers in the Festiniog district and the expenditure JB129 or at the rate of 2s 2d. weekly per head. In April 1892 there were 635 paupers and 2143 in expendi- ture or at the rate of 2s. 3d. per hea.

Parry Jones, seconded by Mr. J. R. Jones, granted applications by the Penmorfa and the Portmadoc Nursing Asso- ciations for the renewal of the annual sub- scriptions. Enforced Absence.—In a letter regretting enforced absence, the Chairman (Mr. Owen Jones) said he had hoped in view of the extra work the Board had to go through to be pre- sent that day and to find the Guardians in good business form following their loquacity at the last meeting. (Laughter.)—An apology for absence was also received from Mr. Ow, 11 Half I eai-lv Expenses.—The Assistant Clerk (-Ilr. David Jono* read the return, showing the expenses for the past six months. It ap- peared in connection with the maintenance of paupers that there was an increase of from £ 5,166 to £ 5,569, compared with the corres- ponding period last year. The increase was chiefly in out-relief and in building repairs etc. The estimate for the ensuing half year £ 2',844 for out-^ief. or an increase of on the corresponding period last year. Ihe total pauperism expenses were estimated at R5,376, but against this were probable receipts of £ 1,180. The Union would also have to collect £ 1,880. The Union would also have to collect £ 5,947 in county rate and there were other expenses under the head of Door rate, bring- ing the grand total to 211,513 less balances in hand of £ 1,356. Of the £ 10,150 required, Festiniog will have to provide L5,569 and Portmadoo £ 1,299. The actual poor rate will be about a halfpenny increase on the corres- ponding period last year.—In his letter to the Board the Chairman drew attention to the increase of £ 400 in poor law expenses during the past half year and pointed out that the estimate for that term was increased by B150 to meet the expected advancement in out-relief, but £ 268 over and over this increase had been expended. These figures called for serious reflection.—The Assistant Clerk said the outrelief in the Union generally had been steadily increasing for some time. Success.—Mr. Ebenezer Morris has passed the London matriculation examination in the first class.
