TREGARON Nursing Class.—The series of lectures on "Sick Nursing" delivered nightly at the Long Room, Talbot Hotel, by Miss May Jones, Aberystwyth, were brought to a close on Tuesday evening. Tko attend- ance throughout was good and keen in- terest was taken in the lectures. Guild of St Ca-ron.—A meeting of th., Guild of St Caron was held at i National Schoolroom on Thursday even- ing. An interesting paper was read Mr M E Morgan, Gwynfa, on "The anti- quities of Tregaron." Another paper was expected on the same subject by fur. David Rees, Glangro cottages, wlio was unavoidably absent. The chair was filled by Mr W J Waterhouse, Bc.L., Plas Waunfawr. Taking into consideration that the subject was of local interest and of which little is known, especially by the young people, the school ought to have been crowded as at the concerts. Mr Morgan was well acquainted with the sub- ject and it had undoubtedly cost hi much labour to prepare his paper. At the close of the oaper, short addresses were delivered by Messrs W J Waterhouse Jenkin Lloyd, Glanbrenig; D Thomar. Cambrian House' the Rev D M Davies, B.A., vicar, and Mr D James. Football.—On Thursday afternoon, a football match was played on the County School field between the County School First XI and the town team. The weather was" cold, but a large number of enthusiastic spectators were present. The town team by far was the stronger, but in combination the School eleven were better. During the last fifteen to twenty minutes of the game some dashing rushes were made by the town forwards. The County School was represented by E Jones Evans; D J Morgan, Willie Morgan; Aubrey Thomas, S M Powell, J Evans; Guy Evans, Llew Edwards, Frank J Evans. Edmund Jones, and Jack Fran- cis while the town was represented by Davies, Post Office; David Willliams, Doldre, Dan Jones, Garden View; Ted Sewell, London House; E David Davies Old Crown Inn; E J Thomas, Cambrian House; E Brython Jones Sunny Cottage; J D Jones. Brenig-terraee; J R Jones, Emporium: Benny Jones, Doldre; and N Down, Argoed. The score was. Town, two goals; County School, one goal. Th town goals were scored by J R Jones and iv Williams. The referee was Mr G T Lewis, M.A. Death.—It is with regret we announce the death of Captain J T Parry, husband of Mrs Parry, Aeron Villa. Tregaron, who ia the oldest daughter of Mr and Mrs. Jenkins. Compton House. Captain Parry was in the employ of the well- known firm, Elder, Dempster and Co., Liverpool, where his promotion was rapid. He had, although young, the sole charge of the s.s. "Kano." Mr Parry wa among the most good-natured of men and was loved by all who knew him. Every- one in the place was glad to see him when at home on his holidays. The sad news of his death -was received by Mrs Parry from Messrs Elder, Dempster, and Co., Liverpool, on Friday, as a result of a cable received by them from their branch office at Lagos, where Captain Parry died on Wednesday. December 5th. The following is la of the letter which was received by Mrs Parry on Saturday-- Colonial House, Water-street Liverp&ol, 7th December, 1906. Mrs. Parry, Aeron (Villa Tregaron, Cardigan. Dear Madam,—It was with deep regret that we telegraphed you to-day informing you ef the death of your husband, Cap- tain Parry, "8.8. Kano." We received a telegram from Lagos (timed last night) which reads as follows:—Parry, captain, Kano,' died yesterday, 5th December." We have no further particulars. An express steamer leaves Lagos on the 9th nist. and is due at Plymouth on the 27th December. This, we think, is the steamer whioh will bring further particulars of the sad occurrence. Immediately the in- formation comes to hand, we will com- municate with you. Assuring you of our deepest sympathy in the sad loss you have sustained, we remain, yours truly. Elder, Dempster, and Co. A letter, ful] of good news and cheer as usual, from the deceased received since, dated November 15th, states that he was in splendid health. Both Captain and Mrs Parry looked for- ward to April next when he was expected to arrive home. Captain Parry took keen interest in the "Cambrian News," and contributed several items of news to these columns from the West Coast of Africa, one of them being an interesting interview ho had with a native chief. Deep sym- pathy prevails throughout the district with Mrs Parry and her only child. Peggy Parry, and all the relatives in their sad bereavement. A Local Drama.—Preparations for the forthcoming County School concert are being pushed forward. A drama founded upon the traditional history of Eynon. a local worthy, will be presented by the saholars. Tra- dition savs that Eynon married the heiress of Penybont and settled upon the farm on the Teify side. One day he went out and failed to return. A diligent search for his whereabout proved fruit- less and he was mourned for as dead. At the end of two years his widow was pre- vailed upon to marry a neighbour. The Gwahoddwr" went out and on the eve of the marriage day there were great re- joicings at Penybont. Earlier in the evening the farmer of Maesglas, while reading by the fire side, was disturbed by a tramp who sought assistance in crossing the Teify which was swollen with heavy rains. The request was complied with and the stranger wandered across the bog in the' direction of Penybont. Here he was set in a corner apart from whence he surveyed the scene cf gaiety and merri- ment until a half-tipsy and jolly shepheru accosted him with the request to sing. The tramp, leaning heavily upon his stiok, complied and sang an old love song. The widow sobbed, for it was the favourite ditty of her iost husband. The bride- groom became exasperated and came for- ward ordering the singer to depart; but he proclaimed himself to be the mis- sing "Eynon" wha had been carried away by the fairies to their haunts and con- cluded with the words, "Myfi bua'm ty, am telyn, am tan: os yw hi felly, ti ei allan." The story of a man being carried off by fairies is common in many parts of Wales. Probably, it has been localised at Tregaron to account for the naming of Pont Eynon. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Tuesday, De- cember 11th.—Present: Messrs D. kins. vice-chairman, in the chair; D. Davies, Lewis Oliver, Evan Lloyd, William Owen, T. Jones, H. Jones, John Jones, John Jones (Tregaron), D. J. Williams, William Morgan, M Howells, Peter Davies ,John Davies, Jenkin Lloyd, clerk; M. Morgan, master; Rees Rowlands, relieving officer; S. Tregon- ing, road surveyor; and Dr. E. Lloy. medical officer. Next Meeting.—It was agreed that the next meeting should be held on Wednes- day, December 26th. Christmas Gratuity. — Notifications were received from the Pontypridd, Mer- thyr, and Cardiff unions promising to re- fund the sums decided upon as extra re- lief to each non-resident pauper in the Union. Reief Cases.—-An application was made on behalf of a pauper reported to be eighty-four years of age for an advance upon the present weekly relief of 3s 6d.— It was decided to advance 6d.—The case of another aged female pauper, who was bed-ridden, was considered and her weekly allowance was advanced to 4s 6d. — Mr. Howells proposed that 6d. extra should be granted to an applicant from Yspytty whose request was adjourned at the pre- vious meeting.—Mr. IÆwi Oliver, in sec- onding, said the person was most deserv- ing. She formerlv acted as caretaker of the chapel but ill-health necessitated her removal to a house for which she paid rent.—Mr. D. jr. Williams: She should be a kind of pensioner of the chapel.—Mr. Oliver: But the cause itseir is very weak. The request was granted.—The Relieving Officer, referring to another applicant said that she had caused a good deal o" bother by her continued requests. She claimed to be the poorest person in the Union.—The case was deferred.—Mr. Oliver said it behoved the Guardians to be careful. If they gave advances to all who cll1.moured the capital of the bank would not suffice. "(Laughter.)—It was reported that a pauper aged eighty-five had gone from Ysnytty parish to Glam- organ to live with a daughter. Weekly relief of 6s. was given, of which the four sons contributed four shillings, but the daughter asked for eight shillings.—It was decided to apply to the sons for the extra amount.—Mr Oliver called attention to the case of a shepherd and his wife and two children living at Blaencaron. He described it as the saddest case in the Union. The father, a young man, was permanently incapacitated from earning a livelihood. Some time ago, the neigh- bours subscribed towards their relief and £15 was collected. There was no hope of the father's recovery.—An advance of Is was granted. Are Lodgers Profitable?—Mr Howells, referring to another application for ad- vance on behalf of an aged widow whose relief had been cut down during the sum- mer months, said he was sorry he had moved to reduce the relief as he found it so difficult to increase the sum. He moved that an advance of Is should be made.— Mr D J Williams said that Mr Howells had no cause for complaint as far (as Yspv^ty was concerned. A good sum found its way to that quarter. — Mr. Oliver said the woman was acrtive, in fact too active for her own rvrofit. (Laugh- ter.) Sho worked to maintain herself by keeping lodgers but they only paid one and six a week each, and judging by the amount of coal consumed to dry their clothes after working in the mines, he feared that she was more out of pocket than otherwise. — Mr John Jones (Gwnnws): Then she should give up the luxury. (Laughter.)—An advance to 5s. was granted for the winter months. A Personal Application. —A feeble- looking female pauper appeared to com- plain of the 2s reduction in her grant. Her stock of peat was exhausted, and the coat of living had advanced. She also reared an orphan boy who had been left upon her hands.—An advance of 6d was granted. Worse than Reporters.—In considering the case of a son whom several guardians thought should be compelled to contri- bute towards his mother's maintenance, the Master said he had to be careful as to what ho said. He often found when a good clue was obtained that something filtered through from the Board meetings and that the quarrv had bolted. Mr Jones (Gwnnws): That is one for the re- porters. (Laughter.)—The Master feared that some members were worse than the reporters who generally exercised discre- tion when needed. (Lauglkter.) Learned Sufficiently. Mr William Morgan mentioned the case of a widow who had two children. She found it difficult to keep them out of the relief granted her. The elder boy had learned all that he ever would learn. (Laughter.) She therefore hired him to a farmer for £9 and procured half a sack of flour on the strength of the bargain. (Laughter.) She was brought before the Bench and ordered to send the boy back to sohool. -—The Relieving Officer was deputed to investigate the case. Notice to Quit.—It was decided that notice be given a pauper at Pontrhydfen- digaid that relief would be discontinued unless a daughter left home at once.— Mr Oliver: Another three years job.—-Mr D Davies: We must be firm. Stationery.—The tender of Messrs J. and J. Gibson, Aberystwyth, for station- ery was accepted. A Good Suggestion.—The Master said that he intended having three pigs slaughtered on the following day and he wanted power to buy new ones to replace them.—Mr Peter Davies thought that the slaughtering should be deferred until a few days before the next Board meeting and that an invitation should be extended the members to sample the flesh. (Laugh- ter.)—-The Master's request was granted.

LLANON Donation.—-Mr David Davies, M.P., Llandinam, has sent a cheque of £20 to the Reading Room Committee for the es- tablishment of this much-needed lnstitu- tion in tho place. Funera1.-After a somewhat prolonged illness, Mrs Jane Evans, wife of Mr Evan Evans, Ontario House, died on Wednes- day night of last week and was buried at the Parish Churchyard on Tuesday. Tho deceased was sixty-one years of age and has left a large family. The sons, with the exception of two, ary at sea, and were consequently absent on the day of the funeral. The Rer D Lewis, vicar of the parish, officiated at the house, and was assisted by the Rev E W Evans, vicar of Tremain in the Church and at the grave- side. A Little Out of Place.—One day last week, a Local Government inspector paid a visit to the Counoil School and its sur- roundings. Near the School is the notorious Mount well. After visiting this well, the Inspector called upon Mr D Lloyd Morris, chairman of /the Parisih Council, and the outcome is that it has been ordered that the well be closed up and supplied with a. hand pump. This will remove a sore grievance. A few hours after the Inspector left, one of the villagers peering into the well found there a dead cat with the entrails out. This was probably there in the darkness of its depth at the Inspector's visit. What matter for a report this official just missed on the Llanon water supply! Yet this water was used by a great many families. Why grumble at epidemics and other ailments? Marriage.—The marriage between Mr. Owen J. Morris, Penbanc. Llansantffraid, and Miss Myra Louisa Evans, Ffinant, Sihan. near Lampeter, took place on Tuesday at Llanfihangel Ystrad Church, by the Rev D Owen, vicar. The bride- groom and party teft here about 6.30 a.m and the ceremony took place about 8.30. The bride was given away by her uncle, Mr David Davies. There were present at the wedding the bride's sister, Miss Mor- ris (the bridegroom's sister), Mr D Lloyd Davies, Llanos Mr Daniel Jones Davies, Rose Hill, ari other friends. After the ceremony t'io partv drove over to the bride's home, and in -the evening the happy couple proceeded south to spend their honeymoon. Numerous and costly presents were received by the bride and bridegroom.

CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS garden Mr E. Collins, Fulford-street, Old Tra- fford, Manchester, has contributed an in- teresting article to The Gardener" on the Cambrian Railway Station Gardens, ill- ustrated by a couple of views of the beau- tiful gardens at Tylwch where Mr S'cinoh- oombe, formerly of Bow Street and Cric- ciech, is the station master. The scenery traversed by the Cambrian Railways," says Mr Collins, of an exceedingly varied and beautiful description and to the lover of nature there is scarcely a single mile that is unin'ceresting. Cer- tainly in proportion to its length it is one | of the most piccureesque railways in the British Isles. At one portion the trav- eller passes througTi long avenues of forest trees, so close that their refreshing per- i?me the carriage with here and there momentary vistas of deep valleys or high mountain ranges, and fascinating glimpses of rock-ribbed coast wooded 'co the water's edge. With so much natural Beauty adjacent to their line, it need fiardly be said the desire of the dir- ectors is that their platforms and station buildings, should be, as far as possible, in keping with their surroundings^ind as an encouragement premiums are annually offered, general cleanliness being a nrsc consideration." The writer describes the gardens at Bettisfield, Frankton, Welsh- ampton, Llynclys, Fant, Montgomery, Ty- lwch, and Pontdolgoch. "Afc. Tylwqh Ir. Collins concluded, it was a matter of some difficulty to say where the garden ended and the wild flowers and ferns of the hill began. The liower borders were well laid out. A series of geometrical designs, running rib- 0 the entire length of the down platform, were bordered with various saxi- frages, the centres and terminals concain- taining clumps of herbaceous plants. A butterfly composed of dwarf flowering and rich coloured foliage plants looked pretty, che formation of the outstretched wings being a work of art. The lawn on th( up platform, with its large fountain, around the sides of which osmunda regalis was growing freely, its ornamental vases of plants, and i'cs natural background o iforest trees and shrubs, was a charming pot wherein to await a train. An in- genious clock, made with mosses and spar, placed amid 'che beds on each platform, informs passengers the time of the next tram. A few shapeley trees of ciupressus erectus gave a distinctive finish to Mr. Scinchcombe's florally-deoorated station. A really-fine example of the possibilties of summer bedding for effectiveness was seen at Pontdolgoch, the various colours being vrranged with such refined discrimination as co betoken much skilful knowledge < the part ot Mr. Stanbury who hV* been a consistent winner in the competition for best-kept s'cations. Nothing finer than the latere circle beds of godelias, the heart- shaped designs worked out in stocks, or the beautiful looking diamond beds of asters and pansies could be wished for. At eicher side of the station building were artistically laid-out plots, the phloxes, dahhas, and asters being especially com- mendable.

MARRIAGE OF MISS EDITH JONES AND MR MEYLER. It was blowing a gale such as sailors love on Wednesday morning from the north-west right in the teeth of Berth. The sea was broken into massive waves and the white horses chased each other across the Bay as far as the eye couid reach. Broken clouds travelled rapidly southward and occasionally discharged brief showers of snow and hail. Then patches of blue sky appeared more than enough to make certain srarments for all the sailor men of Berth at home and on all the seas of the globe, for Borth has always one foot on sea and one on land Next the sun came out, bringing out the prismatic colours of the sea, chasing the shadows right away over Cors Fochno and on to the heights of Plynlymon, an gratifying all who believe that "happy i, the bride that the sun shines on." The day had been fixed upon for the wedding of Miss Edith Jones and Mr Meyler and the good people of Borth, among whom the bride Jtias made her home for several years, whose relatives have been honour- ably connected with the place for genera- tions, were not going to be deterred by high winds and a few showers from show- ing their good feelings towards the bride and bridegroom, and therefore they made the place gay with bunting; and men, women, and children not only assembled in the Chapel to witness the marriage ceremony, but accompanied the bride and bridegroom to the Station and gave them a happy send-off on their new voyage oi life with every wish for halcyon days and pleasant harbourage. The bride was Miss Edith Jones, only daughter of the late Mr Robert Jones ane of Mrs Jones, Liverpool and niece of the Misses James, of Windsor House, Borth; and the bridegroom was Mr H Harries Meyler, M.A. (Oxon), son of the Rev. Kbenezer Meyler, O.M., Haverfordwest, and headmaster of Machynlleth County School. The bridesmaids were Miss Wil- liams. daughter of Captain Richard Wil- liams, dock master, Manchester and Miss Meyler, Machynlleth. Mr Evan Jones, B.A., B.Sc., Machynlleth School, accom- panied the bridegroom as best man. The marriage ceremony was performed at Libanus CJkl. Chapel which had been tastefully decorated by the young women of the Church with foliage plants relieved with chrysanthemums of various colours in which whiie predominated. The re; spectcd pastor of the Cliurch, the Rev J C Evans, read the service appointed by the Connexion and performed the mar- riage ceremony, and the Rev Fred Davies, pastor of the English Church at Mach- ynlleth prayed. At the conclusion of the ceremohy, Mr and Mrs Meyler signed the register which was produced by Mr J J Hughes and afterwards received the feli- citations of their numerous friends. The bride was given away by Captain Tom James, Liverpool, her uncle. During the service the hymn was sung— 0 love! divine and tender! That through our homes doth move, Veiled in the softened splendour Of holy household love. A throne without thy blessing Were labour without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness are best. and at the conclusion of the ceremony, Miss R Jenkins, Rock House, who pre- sided at the harmonium, nerformed Men- delssohn's Wedding March. The ohapel was filled with a large and orderly con- gregation. The bride was prettilv attired in a ddress of ivory cloth trimmed with panne and silk braid and wore a French hat trimmed with white plumes and long chiffon streamers. She wore for orna- ment a gold pendant containing a mini- ature of the bridegroom, and carried a charming bouquet composed of lilies of 11 valley, roses, and hyacinths relieved by delicate foliage. The bridesmaids' dresses were of rich-coloured maroon cloth very much trimmed with silk and velvet. They wore white panne hats trimmed with feathers, Miss Williams carrying a bouquet composed of roses, Jilies, and chrysanthemum, and Miss Meyler a basket of similar blooms with overhanging tendrils. The bride and bridegroom with the wedding guests drove to the Cambrian Hotel where a recherche breakfast was catered by Mr and Mrs Hohenberg. The tables were elaborately decbrated with plants and flowers and in the centre was a massive wedding cake which the bride cut at the termination of the dinner. The guests included the Rev J C and Mrs Evans, the Rev Fred Davies and Mrs Davies, Mr Evan Jones the best man, Captain Tom James, the Misses James, Windsor House; Miss Williams, Man- chester Miss Mevler, Machynlleth; Mrs Davies, Pennal; Miss Jenkins, Rock House, and others. Congratulatory tele- grams were received from Captain John James and Mrs James, Sidmouth, Devon- shire, Southport Physical Training Col- lege, the pupils of Machynlleth County School, and others. Mr and Mrs Meyler, who had to run the gauntleit of rice and confetti on theij way from chapel and to satisfy the time- honoured custom of the quintain on way to the Hotel, had to undergo a second ordeal of the same kind on leaving the Station for their honeymoon in London and Devonshire by the midday train. The bride's going-awav dress wras of navy cloth, long light fawn coat, sable hat and furs.

THE BUTTER-MAKERS' OPPORTUNITY. Nowhore in the wide world can butter of more perfect flavour be produced than in the oldoountry. What, then, is it that gives our rivals the preference and the pre-eminence in the English market ? It is the uniformity of the product The quality may be all right, the milk untainted, aDd the manufacture perfect, but that is not all. It is of no use send- ing out the produce of the dairy at one tim" with a rich June tint and at another with a colour resembling lard. In the use of colour- ing matter many people make mistakas— they use harmful aniline compound. Again, a crude product often results in uneven or muddy colouring and the appearance of the butter is completely spoiled. On the other hand, there are certain preparations, tasteless in themselves, which have the effect of throw- ing up, as it were, the flavour of the butter. Those who have tried the article known under the namo of the Silver Churn butter colour ing have found it to answer this requirement in an unusual degree, and being of exceptional purity, it goes much farther than other similar preations and, moreover, have Ithe advantage of not colouring the butter milk. The Silver Churn" brand is the product of an old-estab !ished firm, Oldfield Pattison and Co., of New Bridge Street, Manchester, and may b" obtained either from them direct or through he leading chemists and dealers in dairy Bupplieslat 6d., Is., 2, 5?.,$«., and 148 per bottle.—Advt. j660
