Perhaps the most notorious and most objectionable defiance of the law is a local case of begging which is allowed by the police and other authorities while strangers who beg are brought before the magistrates and are punished. We do not know how to describe this sort of thing in language that wTould be tolerated by the people. Nothing more scandalous was ever allowed in what professes to be a civilised community. When one per- son can break the law which other persons are compelled to observe there is an end to justice, equity, and right action. The way the streets are allowed to fall out of repair the growth of the filthy habit of sweeping shop refuse into the gutters the continuation of the dangerous practice of official dry- sweeping and the prevalence of all sorts of defects and nuisances show that there is no sort of authoritv or control and make clear the fact "that the town has to depend for success on its great natural advantages. We are aware that an extra official-a sort of overlooker or superintendent—has been appointed, but we do not expect much improvement from his advent. If he is wise, lie will soon see that wrong exists in many departments of public administration with which he has nothing whatever to do. Suppose, for instance, that one or more cock-a-hoop officials neglects his duties—a quite possible state of things-the new over- seer will not have a right to interfere with him, any more than he would have a right to remove the out-door stable from North-parade, or the obstructions from the Marine Parade, or to give the BOROUGH SURVEYOR, or MEDICAL OFFICER, or TOWN CLERK, or BOROUGH ACCOUNTANT, or SANITARY INSPECTOR, or CHIEF CONSTABLE in- structions how to discharge his duties. Suppose, for instance, the new overseer discovers that Corporation rents are greatly in arrear it will not be his duty to intervene. Again, suppose he finds all sorts of rubbish swept from shops into the street gutters he will not find it easy to put a stop to the evil he will have nothing to do with it. The new overseer cannot stop begging, or truck trading, or truck advertising, or footpath obstructing and molesting. Already there are officials who should see to these things and others, such as awning irons. I There is gross and glaring neglect in many municipal departments. The Council and the police are mainly to blame. Each department has officials who do not act because, we suppose, they understand that they are not expected to act, just as the police do not act in the notorious begging case. When the new overseer enters upon his duties he will not be long in discovering that it is very dangerous to be active or keen-sighted. As far as we can see there will be no improvement worth mentioning until the ratepayers themselves take public action in their own interests. There are more ways than one in which the ratepayers could act, but we are not now going to suggest courses of action. If the ratepayers are satisfied with the present policy of muddle and inaction, we are prepared to wait until the con- fusion ripens into disaster. People are not going to come to a town that is not kept up to the mark in cleanliness, tidi- ness, and comfort. After all, the welfare of the town is of no more con- sequence to us than to the sixteen members of the Council and to the other ratepayers. What they can tolerate we will trv to bear with as much patience and as little contempt as possible.
EDITORIAL NOTES
EDITORIAL NOTES There is a demand in New Zealand for men and women who will work. It is proposed to bring into operation again during the summer months the system of assisting suitable immigrants to reach that colony. The great work which the Salvation Army does in helping pecple to find their way to the colonies ought to teach other religious bodies a lesson < The REGISTRAR GENERAL reports that the annual rate of mortality in the seventy-six great towns of England and Wales last week averaged 11.8. What is wanted is a weekly report showing the rates of mortality in seventy or eighty towns under ten thousand inhabitants and also the rates of mortality in seventy or eiglity rural districts. The need is becoming urgent for reduced' rates of mortality in small towns and rural dis- tricts. Although the Daylight Saying Bill has been disapproved of by the Select Com- mittee of the House of Commons, it may be possible for employers and others to do something in the direction the Bill con- templated. The real difficulty is in winter when daylight is. scarce. It seems to us that the great advantage of the present system is the absence of change and the consequent power to make fixed arrange- ments without danger of their being upset. What is needed is more artificial light at cheaper rates. 9 Lord LONDONDERRY is steadily improving as an orator. His opinion expressed in a speech on Saturday, is that the next generaJeleciion will be a battle between Unionists and Socialists, which means between Liberalism and ConservatismJ or between Radicalism and Toryism, or between Peers and People, or be- tween Wealth and Poverty. We should not have been surprised to see Lord LONDONDERRY the leader of the Tory party if he had not had the misfortune to be a peer. # At Aberystwyth there are certain well- known street-obstructers whose disregard for the law and for everybody's convenience but their own are well known. These offenders have bieen warned over and over again. Action should be taken against them each time they offend and the highest penalties that the law allows ought to be inflicted. The footpaths are rend- ered impassable to the public. They make the place both uncomfortable and danger- ous by transacting the:r business on the footpaths. By Mr. LLOYD GEORGE'S Development of Roads and Improvement Bill it will be possible to link up roads in ways which will greatly increase national inter-corn- munieation. Cross roads are required to enable traffic to be conveyed from one main road to another. Railways have done away with the chief ancient pur- pose of main roads, namely, to reach one centre of great population from another. Now what is required is that main roads should enable people to get everywhere. The question is no longer how to get from London to Edinburgh, but how to get from town to town without making long detours. Another young man has disappeared in the neighbourhood of Plynlimon moun- tain. DAVID LEWIS EVANS, aged twenty- two, a farmer, was last seen a week ago. He said he was going home. < 4t Lord ROSEBEIIY is expected to make a speech at Glasgow on September 10th agaunst the budgeit. Wjell, (enough is known of Lord ROSEBERY to prevent anybody being surprised at anything lie says or does either for or against Liberalism. Glasgow Liberals have not received a wire from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER giving a tentative promise to reply to Lord ROSEBERY'S Budget speech in that town within a fortnight of its being delivered. We need not discuss the speech until it has been delivered. The only question is whether Lord ROSEBERY needs to be answered, seeing how well he can answer himself. < The inauguration of Fishguard as a port of call for Cunard liners was marked by a magnificent performance by the Maure. tania on Monday. Wales is gaining all round. Some day Aberystwyth may dis- cover that Ireland is just opposite and might be used with mutual advantage. A native of Lampeter was the first to land from the Maurotania. We have refused to publish letters or speeches by the possible Liberal candidates for Merionethshire until the delegates of th« Liberal Association have met and come to a decision as to the man of their choice. There can be no exception to the rule as far as we are concerneaj no matter who the possible candidate may be. The course adopted by the local Liberal associabons may be foolish, but w,e have nothing to do with that. We are not going to run one Liberal candidate against another. At the last meeting of the Dolgelley Board of Guardians attention was called to a man who had been asked to pay sixpence a week towards his mother's main, tenance. He was married and had one child. We make no statement as to whether the man ought to pay the sixpence a week or not, but the fact is there that he has to maintain three people on a less sum per head than paupers cost. It would be interesting to know where justice ice comes in. The way the Welsh Church Commission has dropped out of public notice is very depressing. What does it mean? Welsh Disestablishment is hung up and so is the AVelsh Church Commission. Can nothing be done to find out what has become of the body or of its reports, if it has made a report? The- time has surely come when some antiquary ought to write an article on the AVelsh Church Commission: its origin and disappearance. Why was it ever appointed ? Dees anybody know ? < Consols do not seem to be in the deast afraid of the budget. Trade is equally indifferent. From all parts of the country there come reports of increasing business. Only the dukes seem to be really miserable and they are trying to save money by re- ducing their subscriptions. Laifortunately they gave so little that if they saved it all they would be very little better off, and nobody would be much the poorer. Be- sides, there are only about twenty-three dukes or about half a duke to each million of inhabitants! < Temperance reformers will see with pleasure that the increased tax of 3s. 9d. per gallon 011 spirits which has been in operation for four months has resulted in a decrease of revenue from spirits amounting to nearly £1,000,000 less than in the corresponding period of last year. Over and over again we have pointed out in these columns that the right course to pursu,e in reference to drink revenue was to increase the tax until' consumption declined. There is one other course neces sary in order to promote temperance, namelyj to free from taxation beverages which do not contain more than say four per cent. of alcohol and to increase the tax greatly for every addition of two per cent. of alcohol in any beverage. W e have received a letter signed A Liberal" from Gorrisi (in r.efeirenjce to the choice of a Liberal candidate for the county of Merioneth. We do not intend to publish the lett-er or to deal with the action of Corris Liberals in reference to the policy locally adopted. Nor are we going to discuss the personal action of possible candidates. When the Liberal delegates have m,et and their decision has been given the subject will be fairly open for public discussion. In the mean- time the local Liberals should be allowed to do as they please, free from outside influence. The candidates who have been nam.ed must take the consequences of their own action. This action will be open for discussion after the; delegates have met. We have faith in the good sense of the Liberals of the county and we are not going to be shaken in our conviction by action here or there. At the last meeting of the Pwllheli Guardians the members of the Board were paid high and well-deserved compliments by Mr H. R. WILLIAMS, the Poor Law Inspector for Wales. The MASTER and MATRON of the Workhouse were specially and deservedly complimented. The Ix- SPECTOR truly said that children should be removed completely from the workhouse atmosphere. There can be no doubt that not a single child in Wales should be sub- jected to the demoralising influence of life in workhouses. Pwllheli) stands high in administering relief to the poor. Are not even greater things possible? Let the children be boardpd out Let the wastrels be severely dealt with, but the children should be treated mercifully and should be saved at any cost. We congratulate the Pwllheli Board of Guardians on their high and proud position. The chairman is Mr. J. T. JOKES) and the vice-chairman, Mr. DANIEL JONES, Whether women can be the equals of men need not be argued. Nature will settle that. What women want, and what they ought to have, is equality before the law, and equal opportunity in every sphere of activity. Women ought not to be dis- qualified by the mere fact of sex from the exercise of powers, the discharge of duties, and the hearing of responsibilities. When women are as strong as they think they are nobody will be able to disqualify them. Numbers are on their side already. A woman who steals is sent to prison just as a man who steak is sent to prison. A woman who lives in a house is rated just as a man who lives in a house is rated. A woman's income is taxed just as a man's income is taxed, and why in the name of absolute insanity should not a woman be as free as a man is free to do whatever she is ablo to do ? If women refuse to become mothers then humanity will dip out. but the world will not be much poorer. Be- sides, the probability is that humanity would come into existence again as it came- into existence before. Women are gaining, but just as they lost slowly they will win slowly. Why do not women thrust men a Is it because they really are the weaker sex ? J A London paper says that hope of ever again seeing the Blue Anchor liner, "Waratah," which left Durban on July 26th for Caw Town, with 300 passengers on board, must now be abandoned. The "Waratah," it seems, was last sighted on i July 27th, on the eve of a heavy storm. Mr. ARTEMUS JONES, one of the numer- ous possible Liberal candidates for Meri- onethshire, has written a long letter to the papers in protest against an application to him for subscriptions. The appeals made for subscriptions and the shabby methods resorted to by all sorts of associations to obtain money make it doubtful whether it would not be better to get rid of the shabbiness, even if it were necessary to also get rid of the associations. The weather during the week has been cold and cheerless. August was a very un- satisfactory month from the lodging-house point of view, and it is doubtful whether anybody was quite satisfied with the rain, the cold, and the gloom. Farmers are waiting for summer, and as it is now Sep- tember they will probably wait in vain. Last Sunday afternoon heavy rain fell, as those who happened to be in the rural dis- tricts found to their cost. The number of visitors is rapidly decreasing and a long winter is in prospect. This visitor season has been shorter than usual. it it it At the last Pwllheli Town Council meet- ing the question of advertising the district was brought up on a letter written by the London and No rtl i Western Railway Com, pany. If Pwllheli is wise—and we have great faith in its wisdom-the question of advertising will be mainly referred to the Cambrian Railways Company. The Cam- brian Company can talk effectively to the London and North-Western, but Pwlllieli may be induced to part with hundreds of pounds for nothing. We urge the Town Clerk, Mr. E. R. DAVIES, to give this matter his careful consideration. The dukes are on the move. Mr LLOYD GEORGE has really frightened them. Who would have thought it? The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, addressing the Matlock Unionist League at a meeting of the members held in Chatsworth Park on Saturday, said that all their forces would shortly be required for one of the biggest political struggles known for a great many years, a struggle which would strike at the very constitution of the country, and for which they must make every preparation. There is one thing on which the dukes are deter, mined, namely, that they will not pay for the defence of their own property. They think the poor should do that by eating taxed bread; but the poor will not eat taxed bread, and the dukes have no alternative but to save fifty or sixty mil- lions a year in national expenditure. In another column we have dealt briefly with some, of the ways in which Mr. LLOYD GEORGE'S Development of Roads and Improvement Bill might give help to this district if the scope of the measure is wide enough and the resources are sufficiently ample. To deal with the subject adequately in one article and without detailed knowledge of the measure is impossible, but enough has perhaps been said to show the desirability for local interest and to make clear to the promoters of the Bill how strong a case can be made for it by what has been done locally in some places and what is impossible in others. It is out of the power of hundreds of c,entres of small population to provide water, drainage, roads, harbours, and protection from the sea. The subject well deserves the attBI1- tion of reformers all over the country, as we believe it is the beginning of the greatest system of reform that the country has ever known. < Two men were drowned last week at I Clarach, about a mile from Aberystwyth. The young man who was drowned was Mr. GEORGE HAROLD CARTWRIGHT, of Birming- ham. He was bathing. Mr. HENRY ARMSTRONG, a working man, was drowned by trying to save the bather. The would- be rescuer was a calm, reticent man and nobody ever thought he was a hero, for he never called attention to himself. There was another narrow escape on Saturday at the South Beach. A youth was in extreme danger and would un- doubtedly have been drowned if Mr. PRYSE PHILLIPS, Little Darkgate-street, a good swimmer and a brave man, had not saved him. The youth had been previously warned by Mr. PHILLIPS. The rescuer does not know the name of the person he saved, as he and his friends refused to give his name. Well, the credit is none the less to Mr. PHILLIPS. As for the other persons, well, there they are! The VICAR of Kippington, who witnessed the Clarach accident, has offered to provide life-belts or subscribe E10 toward the cost of a boat.
MACHYNLLETH.
MACHYNLLETH. Monthly Fair.—The attendance at the monthly fair wal" small. Cattle and buyers were conspicuous by their absence. Instead of improving, it appears that the monthly fairs are declining and are becoming a mere farce unless better co-operation will t)e shown between farmers and townspeople. Opening of Schools. After a lengthy holidays tte elementary schools re-opened on Tuesday. Teachers and scholars turned up in good numbers. Cricket.—An interesting "all day match" was played on the Plas Grounds on Saturday between the home tean, and Borth visitors, the former winning by ten runs. In the afternoon the game was witnessed by H.S.H. Prince Francis of Teck, Lord Herbert Vane Tempest, and others staying at the Plas. Tea was provided in the pavilion by Mrs Norris, Lion Hotel. PETTY SESSIONS, Wednesday, Septem- ber 1st.—Before Lord Herbert Vane- Tempest, presiding; Colonel Norton: Dr W. R. Williams, D. W. Stable, R. Gillart, and T. R. Morgan, Efeqrs. Transfer.—Mr Edmund Gillart applied [tor the transfer of the Lion Hotel from Mrs Knight to Mr Joseph John Norris, Bristol. The police making no objection, the application was granted. 1 Drunk and Disorderly. Elijah Vaughan, Graigfach, was charged with having been drunk and disorderly.—P.S. Davies said on Saturday, August 21st. he was on duty at Graigfach at half-past: ten o'clock and heard shouting and curs- ing. Shortly afterward he saw defend- J ant very drunk. He had received several complaints concerning defendant since he 1 (witness) had come to Machynlleth.—De- ( fendant, who did not appear, was stated to have gone away but would return.— The Bench ordered that a warrant should be issued. Sheep Scab.—Sergeant Davies charged Richard Jones, Tygwyn, farmer, with not having reported the existence of sheep scab.—P C R. E. Jones said he visited defendant's farm to witness sheep dipping on August 16th and found one sheep 1 affected with scab. He informed defend- ant of it and told him to keep the sheep separate.—By the Clerk (Mr D. Evans): He could not say how long the sheep had suffered; but there was time enough to have it reported.—In reply to Mr Gillart, the officer said the farm was enclosed.— Defendant said the sheep had been with other sheep on the mountains and he had not noticed the scab.—P.S. Davies pro- duced the Veterinary Surgeon's certi- ficate which showed that out of a flock of 153 sheep only one was affected.-In- spector Tanner, Newtown, said that dur- ing the next six weeks 90,000 sheep in the Machynlleth division would haye to be dipped twice. The police not being able to do the required work themselves, three men had been engaged to assist them. In other places where the farmers were dealt with severely, the scab was eradicated.—In reply to the Bench, Sergt. Davies said the sheep had been affected about a fortnight and it was quite easy to detect the scab as it was prevalent in that district which was the worst in the county. Farmers were careless about it.-Defei-idant, replying to Dr Williams, said he had been shearing with the melt; but they did not notice anything. He did not know the sheep was affected until the police came there.—Replying to Mr. Gillart, Sergeant Davies said the. extra men were employed by the County Council to supervise the dipping.—De- fendant replying to the Bench, said he had not seen the sheep lately as he had been busy with the harvest. -Ser-eapt Davies: The sheep are not on the moun- tain, but on the farm.—Mr Gillart: That is tortunate«—In reply to Col. Norton, defendant said the slieep were dipped three days previous to shearing and nothing was noticed then.—Defendant was fined 5s and 9s costs and was told that he was liable to a fine of £20. Wild Birds Protection.—John Coakes, gamekeeper, Llanbrynmair, was sum- moned by Samuel Burroughs, 43, High- street, Dover, for a breach of the Wild Birds Protection Act.—Mr Edmund Gil- lart appeared for the prosecution and Mr H. Meredith Roberts for the defence.— Mr Burroughs said he was an inspector under the Society for the Protection of Hild Birds, and was at Llanbrynmair on August 11th. Passing through a field, his attention was drawn to a steal pole trap set for catching 'birds. Shortly after- ward he found two more traps which were closed, but in working order. He con- sidered this quite sufficient for his pur- pose. Later he met the constaole and in consequence of what he told him thev went back and informed defendant who said you are mistaken." Defendant told him Mr Downing had seen the trai). He (witness) came to Llanbrynmair to carry out his duties. He had seen traps before. Defendant said the pole was about three feet in length and the chain about a foot: but the bird caught would hang on the ground.—Mr Gillart said the Society wanted it to be known that these practices were not allowed and it was time the law was recognised. It was the duty of the keepers to know this. The trap was produced in court.—Replying to Colonel Norton, defendant said he did not use the trap often and knew it was ag™nS^-n '^law-—Fined 5s and 9s costs. Mr Gillart applied for the Inspector's railway fare which was 36s.; but the ap- plication was refused. In Search of Game.—James Fleming, The Barracks; Rowland Arthur, Doll- street; and Samuel Vaughan, Graigfach, labourers, were summoned by Richard Edwards, gamekeeper, DerwenJas, for having trespassed in search of game.- Mr Gillart appeared for the prosecution. V aghan wrote admitting the offence and expressed sorrow. The other de- fendants also admitted the offence.—Mr Gillart said if defendants gave an under- taking not to trespass on the land again he would withdraw the summonses.—This being promised, the Bench consented to the cases being withdrawn. Drunkenness. Wm. Rees, Dovev Val- ley Hotel, Cemmes Road, was charged with having been drunk.—P.C. Evans said lie saw defendant about five o'clock on July 27th staggering drunk in the hotel yard which was a public place. hen he w ent to serve the summons de- fendant was drunk in bed and was in the same condition on the following dav.- Defendant said he knew nothing about it. He had conducted the house for sixteen years and there had not been a complaint against him until the constable came there. He did not know what the police had against him.—The case was ad- journed for a month.

The success of the Tabernacle bazaar continues to be a topic of discussion. It is interesting to note that the receipts for admission amounted to £20. The ad- mission fee up to six o'clock each day was Sixpence, a/ter six o'clock threepence. At the rate of sixpence the number who \1s1ted the bazaar was no less than 800 but bearing in mind the other fact the number who attended could not 'have been less than 1,200. A meeting of the District Pension Com- mittee was held at the Town Hall on Wed- nesaay. There were present—Messrs E. J. Davies (chairman), J. Parry, W. T. Davies, John Davies, Feathers Hotel; Morgan Evans, J.P.; J. M. Howell, J.P. and Evan Evans, clerk. One adjourned claim and two new claims were awarded full pension. Five cases which were unanimously awarded full pension at the previous meeting were appealed against by the Pension Officer to the Local Gov- ernment Hoard. It was unanimously re- solved to request the Local Government Board to send down at the earliet possible date their special commissioner to enquire into the cases on the spot and to hear the raised 01 Committee on certain points A meeting of the District Small Hold- ings Committee was also held at the lown Hall on Wednesday. There were present Messrs T. Parry, E. J. Davies. W. T. Davies, John Davies, Morgan Rvans, J.P.; J. M. Howell, J.P. • and Evan EVans, clerk. Mr W. T. Davies ^;as appointed chairman instead of Mr 1. Parry who resigned. The Clerk said the lease of Pengarreg Farm ivas jH-epjircd and had been sent to Mr Roger Lloyd. The local councillors were empowered to sublet the farm in consultation with the- new County Agent who will be appointed on Septem- ber 9th. Mr Howell enquired if there iv as anything to prevent the Committee in subletting the land for golf links? The Lleik replied that it was purely a matter 3f arrangement between them and the sub-tenants. In reference to an applica- tion for allotments on the farm of Pont- brendu, Oakford, a letter was read from the Hon. Mr Edwards that he was wil- ling to sell that property and the smaller holdings connected with it for £ 1.500. It svas agreed that it was a matter which should be immediately considered with a view of action if the demand for small holdings in the district met the case as soon as the agent was appointed. Many )ther cases were considered and ad- journed until the agent is appointed. A special meeting of the Light Railway Directors was held at the Company's >ffices at Lampeter. There were pre- sent Mr J. C. Harford (chairman), Col. Davies Evans, Mr J. M. Howell, and Mr J. E. Evans, secretary. Formal business was transacted. The line is being rap- idly proceeded with on the Lampeter end. About li mile of the permanent way has been laid. On Wednesday, at Trinity Church, Aberayron, the wedding of Miss Bertha Jones, eldest daughter of Mr B. C. Jones, clerk to the Guardians, and Mr David Davies, accountant at the N.P. Bank, Aberayron, was celebrated. The Rev Daniel Jones, M.A., ex-vicar of Lampeter, uncle of the bride, officiated, assisted by the Rev E. Evans, vicar. The bride was given away by her father. The church was packed with spectators to witness; the ceremony. Favours were displayed on the shipping and various vantage points. The bride has been organist at Trinity Church for many years. On Monday night at the National Schoolroom she was made the recipient of three presents—a clock and two bronze figures from members of Trinity Church congregation, handed over by the Vicar; teacher's Bible by the Sunday School class, handed over by Mr J. Davies, Ynys House, Sunday School sup- erintendent and a third present by the music class, handed over by Miss Llew- ellyn, North-road. There was a good attendance of friends and neighbours. Mr D. G. Munro Hughes presided at the meeting and addresses were delivered by ) Mr C. Denham Evans, Mr D. Pennant James, Mr J. Jones, bookseller; Dr Davies, Mr Phillips, coal merchant; and the Rev D. Jones, B.A., curate. The newly-wed received a large number of presents.
HENFYNYW
HENFYNYW Sunday School Treat.—The members of the Church Sunday School had their annual treat on Thursaay. In years gone by, the fund for the treat has been raised by general sub- scriptions, but this year Mr and Mrs Evans, Arfryn, generously gave it all themselves on their own ground. The day was beautifully fine, and a :large number came together al- though harvest time had commenced. On arrival at Arfryn, all partook of tea and the sumptuous delicacies prepared by Mrs Evans. During the afternoon, the children and adults engaged in various games and prizes were given for running and jumping. To the agreeable surprise of the children, they were before leaving supplied with a second tea and cake and a large quantity of sweets was dis- tributed amongst them by Mr Evans. The Vicar proposed a warm vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs Evans for their kindness and all present gave them hearty cheers.
LONDON
LONDON Wedding.—On Wednesday, September 1st, at Charing Cross-road (M.C.) Chapel, in the presence of many friends and well-wishers, Mr Tom J Edwards, Caledonian-road, Hollo- way, was married to Miss Maggie Jones, Gower-place, Bloomsbury. The bride was given away by her cousin, and Mr John Edwards, brother, acted as best man. Miss Hilda Davies and Miss E Jones were the bridesmaids. The bride was dressed in grey silk and carried a magnificent bouquet ot white carnations and roses, and the brides- maids wore dresses of mauve silk and bouquets of red carnations. The Rev T P Jones, Mynach, cousin of the bride, officiated. The Rev P H Griffiths, pastor, was absent through illness. After the ceremony, the party and their numerous friends went to the Gwalor Hotel where the wedding breakfast was laid in dainty style. Mr Merlin Morgan was to officiate at the organ and would undoubtedly be present except for unforeseen circumstances, Miss Jones being a zealous and efficient member of his choir. Miss Jones was at one time expected to go through the Royal Academy of Music, for she had a sweet soprano voice, but her health failed and much to the disappointment of friends she had to give up the training. The family came to London from Cardiganshire twenty years ago. The bridegroom's parents live in retirement in their new home at Penygarn, in the midst of their namerous relatives.
