CARMARTHEN. A RCBAL SCHOOL HOARD ELECTION. The triennial election of members to sit on the school boaid for the Conwil District took place on Wed- nesday, and in connection with it therll is at least one interesting fact. A Churchman (Mr. D. E. Stephens, Trawsmawr) headed the poll by a very large majority. In face of the sectarian spirit thrown into these contests, this is somewhat re- markable. The election was warmly contested, there being seven candidates for five seats. Mr. Rowland Browne, Carmarthen, was the returning officer.

KNIGHTON. FUNERAL OF MRS. DANSEY.rije tuneral of this lady took place in Knighton Churchyard on Friday afternoon, the body being met at the gates by the clergy and surphced choir. The Rev. M. H.

The church and graveside were crowded with Sunday School children and many of the poor who had been recipients of Mrs. Dansey's generosity.

'• Dear Sir,—I am a prior hand at expresing my teet- ings, but I should like to thank you. Your lozenges have done wonders in relieving my terrible cough. Since I had the operation of 'Tracheotomy' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany and, unlike him. thank God, I am stiil alive), performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough; it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus, which was very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able to get rid of it without difltaulty.—I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL." UTTERLY UNRIVALLED. The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from usint; Keating's Cough Loz?nges is understated. 7flie operation was a specia 1* severe one, and was performed by the specialist, Dr. H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Since th< operation the only means of relief is the use of these l.ozenges. S., successful are they that one affords imme- diate benefit, although from the nature of the c-ise thr throat irritation is intense. WEiGHT IN GOLD.

Aft Aft In n OT, AGOBS mUm I L V== CURES RHEUMATISM AND NEURALGIA. Mr. John BaNey, 57, Park-road, had been a victim to rheumatism for thirty years. Much of the time his hands, legs, arms, and feefc were swollen to tMioe their natural size. At such times the pain was intense, and he would be unable to walk. At other times the pain would appear in neuralgic form in the head, when his suffering was beyond all description, and his family feared many times, the pain being so intense, that he would lose his mind. These paroxysms would last for dayir at a time, when he would be unable to obtain hardly any rest whatever. They employed the best medical skill that could be obtained in Hull. They tried various rheumatic remedies, medicated baths, &c., and, in fact, everything they could think of, but he diet not obtain any benefit until six months ago, when he was in one of those paroxysms of pain, and they certainly thought he would go mad, they heard of St. Jacobs Oil. The first application acted like magic, relieved this dreadful pain in his head. He continued to use the Oil, when lie was completely cured. That was more than two years ago.
