THE JATE MR. PENRY. Mr Penry will be missed by i ll sections of the population. He never spared himself and he had the highest conception of his duties in public life. He lived a well-spent life and has well earned his promotion. Mr Penry's passing can best be described in Tennyson's words:- Twilight and evening bell and after that the dark, Oh may there be no sadness of "are veil When I embark; Far though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I know I'll see mv pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar.

Smart of Newport, Shropshire, and Aberyst- wyth, writes: "To mark the first anniversary of the Y.M.C.A. a concert in aid of its funds is arranged to take place at the Coliseum on Wednesday, October 9th. The promoters of the concert have secured the services of Miss Phyllis Lett, the famous contralto, who was engaged by the Madeley Choral Society four different times in the 'Elijah,' The Messiah and other oratorios. I have before me the cri- tical report of a 'Messiah' performance at the last time of her appearance with is at Madeley. In speaking of Miss Phylhss Lett, this report says:—She delighted her !-steners by her fine rendering of her first. Impressively given recitative, 'Behold, a Virgin,' and air, o Thou that Tellest,' taken very briskly, her grand, full, and rich deep voice "as cl arming in 'He Shall Feed His Flock,' so exquisitely sung; but the greatest treat of all was her superb singing of "He Was Despised and I e- jected of Men." A more devotional and im- pressive performance cf this r- -ourite air can scarcely be imagined." This shows what rray be expected from the ladv n ( ct-ober 9 h. WESLEY CHAPEL.—On Sunday, harvest thanksgiving services were held at Wesley Chapel. The v-ttendance was good, and the offertory realised over E5. Owing to the stress of times and seasons the display of flowers and fruit was much affected: but there were many generous gifts of vegetables, most of which were subsequently sent to the Red Cross Hospital. SESSIONS.—The Mayor and Captain David James attended at Petty Sessions on Wednes- day. There were no cases for trial. PROMENADE CONCERT—On Friday even- ing a farewell concert was given by the Muni- cipal Band. The attendance was not as large as the artistes and the programme deserved. Mr W. D. OWQO, whose singing is lways ac- ceptable to Aberystwyth audiences and is highly appreciated by visitors, sang several times and responded to encores. Miss Norton's well-trained voice was beard to advantage and as often HS she sang encores were demanded and pleasantly given. With Mr. Owen, Miss Norton sang by desire the duet "In a Garden of Roses." Miss Evelyn Alexander, also by desire, repeated Hubay's violin solo Hejie Kati," which was encored and the orchestra performed selections which were applauded and encored. Mr Stephen Evans, Mr T. Lewis Old, and Mr Sinclair were the accompanists. Y.-M-CA.-The YM.C-A. will be open in future on Sunday afternoons for wounded soldiers and short brotherhood services will pro- bably be held. The canteen, which is open on week-days, will not be open on Sundays. PERSONAL.—His many friends will be sorry to hear that Mr. R. Rowlands, Pioneer, is entering a London hospital for an operation.

Evans, Portland-st., who is in the V.A.D., is lorne on leave. PERSONAL.—Information has been received by Mr Roderick Richardes, Penglaise, that his son (Lieut. R. A. W. P.

SALE OF PROPERTY.The Vicarage, Llan- badarn-road, has been sold by private treaty by Messrs. Daniel I. Rees and Evans, auc- fcl°WTNTER CLOSING ARRANGEMENT. — Owing to lighting restrictions and to economise coal and gas the following closing hours have been adopted:—Mondays, 7; Tuesdays, 6; Wed- nesdays 1; Thursdays 6; Fridays 6; and Satur- days 8. The public are urged to support the arrangements by doing their shopping early. Early closing commenced on Tuesday, Octo- ber 1st. D.S. AND S.F.—The annual meeting of the local Branch of Discharged Sailors and Soldiers was held at the Progress Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 24th, Mr R. D. Williams being in the chair. The Chairman, reviewing the work of the past year, stated that the Branch owed its inception to the efforts of a local discharged disabled soldier, and it had grown from a few that formed its first executive into nearly three figure membership. The Y.M.C.A. gen- erously offered a room free of charge for meetings but this soon became too small and the Branch reluctantly had to seek quarters elsewhere. Looking back a twelve month, obstacles which seemed unsurmountable had been overcome, and it was doubtful if the pub- lic had any idea as to what the Association really stands for. It existed, he said, not only for discharged men, but to watch the interests of widows and dependants as well, to secure for them the redress of vrongs and a measure of justice in the settlement of claims. Much of the success of the year was due to the public in making such a success a concert held last winter, which apart from being the means of the Branch being repre- sented at the annual conference, was also the means to assist financially and otherwise dis- charged men who were stranded in the town, and were strangers. Adequate pensions were secured tor men who were being shamefully treated, the cases 01 widows were brought to the notice of the authorities, and treatment was secured for others. Representation ot dis- charged men was secured turougn tiieir euorts on the War Pensions Committee, wnilst a not- able achievement was tne stand against the exploitation ot competent discharged men by local bodies in the tilling 01 vacancies, which resulted in the case bemg cited on the floor of the House of Commons and the winning ot 'ans support from the Cardiganshire War Pensions Committee, which sent a. protest to all the administrative bodies in the county. The Association would outlive the war. Its real work would commence when the war ended, for never again must they have the spectacle of old soldiers selling bootlaces and pins, ihey must take their part in the reconstruction. The strength of the Branch lay not in the number of members, but in their conception of public duty. —The balance sheet having been adopted, the following officers were elected:- Chairman, Mr E. T. Felix; secretary I Mr. M. Jones; treasurer, Mr J. 'E. Griffiths. A vote of thanks was accorded the retiring Chairman. I "BLUE BOYS" TRIP.-The wounded sold- r iers from the Red Cross Hospital were given a trip to Devil's Bridge on September 24th by Miss Partridge, Halfway House. Lunch and tea was provided at the hotel. THEFT.-At the Police Station on Tuesday, before the Mayor (Capt. Thos. Doughton), Capt. David James an! D. C. Roberts, Esqrs., Abraham Jones, Crynfryn-buildings, was sum- moned for having stolen coal worth 2s. 6d. from the Gas Works, where he was employed as a stoker. Supt. Phillips said he saw de- fendant with a bag of coal and Mr Gaunt, manager of th, Gas Works, said defendant had been employed at the Gas Works for several years. Defendant pleaded guilty, and as the Company did not. press the charge he was fined £ 1. SERVICES—The Sunday evening services or- iranised bv the Y.M.C.A. commenced at the I Hospital on Sunday. R.S.M. Fear conducted i the service and Miss Vaughan was the accom- panist. The soloists were Misses Annie and Blodwen Jones, Mr Jack Davies, and Miss Elsie Jones I PATRONAL AND HARVEST FESTIVALS.— This year patronal and harvest festivals were both celebrated on St. Michaels and All Angels Day. The order of services was as follows :-Holy Communion at 8 a.m.; matins at 10; holy communion (choral) and sermon at 11; and evensong sermon at 6-30. There were good congregation asnd a spirit of rever- ence and devotion was noticeable throughout the servioes. The special preacher was the Rev Harold S. Williams, vicar of Oystermouth, who preached powerful sermons. The collec- tions were in aid of the funds of Aberystwyth Infirmary. RHEIDOL CHOIR.—From the concerts given on the Castle on Sunday evenings during August and September by Rheidol United Choir, over 240 has been divided among local cha.rita.ble institutions. PIER CONCERT.—At the Red Cross concert at the Pier Pavilion, Miss Alexander played the instrumental solo and not Miss Ter Poorten as reported.

DEATH OF MR- PERROTT. The death took place at 6, Marine-terrace, Aberystwyth, of Mr J. Denston Perrott, after a long period of invalidity. He had attained his eighty-third birthday the day before his death. He belonged to an old Breconshire family whose name appears in the records of the civil wars between Charles 1. and Crom- well. He entered the banking profession and was at one time manager of the National Bank at Conway. After having been at the Head Office in London he was appointed in 1884 to succeed Mr David Jones as manager of the Aberystwyth branch. He retired about five years afterward and lived in retirement at Aberystwyth. For many years he held the responsible position of county treasurer and was a justice of the peace for the county and a prominent Freemason. His wife predeceased him many years ago and he is survived by his daughter with whom sympathy is felt. The body was removed on Wednesday morning to Llanfihangel, Breconshire, for interment in the family burial ground.

SERBIAN STUDENTS at ABERYSTWYTH. WELSH UNIVERSITY EDUCATION. Fourteen young Serbian students arrived in Aberysbwyth, on Tuesday and took. up resi- dence at the new hostel set up at 7, Marine- terrace. They will be educated at the College uader a scheme inaugurated by the General Committee for Wales of which Lord Kenyon is chairman, and Major David Davies, M.P., who formulated the scheme for expansion, is hon. treasurer. The Welsh Committee co- operates with the Serbian relief fund authori- ties in London in providing for the mainten- ance and education in Wales of intelligent young Serb refugees. Some of them have already matriculated and will be able to take their places in the College classes; others will be tutored by Mr Pope, formerly of Aberyst- wyth Grammar School. The hostel is in charge of Mrs T. Z. Jones, of Aberayron. On Tuesday afternoon the students were formally welcomed by Mr J. H. Davies, M.A., registrar, who brieyfl outlined the training. Wales and Serbia, Mr Davies added, had much in common, both having democratic ideals, and were therefore naturally desirous of helping each other. Capt. W. H. Williams, Newport, general secretary of the Welsh Committee, said the College authorities at Aberystwyth and the residents of the town would assuredly look for- ward to great and far-reaching results from the operations of the scheme. The news that morning from Serbia was decidedly good. Their fathers and elder brothers were renewing the struggle with every prospect of removing all traces of the Austro-German invader. Later, in. the day the day the Local Com mittee, which includes Principal Owen Prys. Prof. Chappell, and Mr J. H. Davies, met and final arrangements were made. 1- I. • -• < V-

ABERYSTWYTH GUARDIANS. f THE HOUSE "A PARADISE." Aberystwyth Guardans met on Monday, Mr Daniel Jones presiding. Mrs E. II. Jam, chairman of the House Committee, read an extract from the visitors book in which Mr S. J'regonning, Ystrad Meu- rig, described the house as "a paradise." H< congratulated the Board on having so excel- lent a Master and Matron.—Mr J. Pryce Jones, Welshpool, a guardian of Forden Union, also recorded his appreciation of the condition of the house. It Waf. decided to put Dr. Bonsall's applica tion for an increased salary on the agenda. The House Committee recommended an in- crease of BZO per annum. It was decided to ask the Master and Matron to secure a nurse for the house.

ABER. AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE. FARMERS AND GRAIN. Aberystwyth Agricultural Committee met on jionday, present, Mr oaniel Lloyd, presiding; jj-tssars ii. J. Evans, Daniel Jenkins, uaviu Jones; ii. A. Davies, clerk; U. J. Morgan, county organizer; and Joseph Parry, executive obiter. Mr E. J. Evans said he had been informed oy a gram inspector that under the Orders tar nit; rs were precluded from using or selling their own gramstutts, but must, sell to reck^gniaed dealer' and purchase back what was required. tie contended that it was most ututir.-Instructions were given the Cierk to ascertain the tacts. (An important advertisement on the matter of damaged grain appears in tuis issue.) The Clerk read a circular .s .0 the disposal ot hay and straw.—Mr E. J. Evans iaid the circular raised points of serious importance to incoming tenants of farms who if the hay and straw were commandeered would le left with- out feeding stuff.-It was decided to protest against the regulation if its provisions were as represented, as it was vital for good hus- bandry to retain a supply jf hay bnd straw on the premises. The Executive Officer reported that the season for binders was now over. The weather during the week had been most < nfavourable. The machines had been kept for the winter months. There were at present forty-five Ger- man prisoners at Aberllolwyn available for farm labour. There was demand for potato diggers.—Mr Parry said he i nderstood that the charge for German prisoners was being advanced to 7jd. from the beginning of Octo- ber. That placed him in a quandry as he had all along urged farmers to take them at 5id. Much difficulty was also experienced in secur- ing the labour. He asked if after harvest some of the prisoners could be put on the roads as there was a demand for labour on roads.—Mr D. J. Morgan said the men at Aber- llolwyn were agricultural hands, but there were camps for other classes of workmen. It was essential that their services in agriculture should be requisitioned otherwise they would be drafted to some of the English counties, where the demand for men was insistent. Farm- ers would serve their own interests best by taking the men under Scheme B to lodge and feed them as ordinary workmen. They would thus secure their services for all kinds of work.—The Clerk was directed to ascertain the exact rate.

A col- lection for the reception fund resulted in the finds being considerably increased, and at the end this was further augJQintod by a substan- tial cheque given by the Chairman.

SOUTH WALES HORSE SALES. The entry at the monthly sule of horses on Friday last, conducted at Carmarthen by Messrs. Caves and tiowell Thomas was a re- coret one, 36a horses and colts eing entered. In Class 1 tor heavy cart horses there v ere no less than 178 entries. The highest price was 150 guineas ior a beautiful bay mare, the property of Mr Davies, Pentredavis, and two otLer horses wera sold for 14J guineas each, and a. great many at 120 guineas and over, while about fifty horses made over 100 guineas. Two fillies, the property of Mr Davies, Pen- tredavis, again made top prices of 100 and 102 guineas. Many others were sold from 80 to 90 guineas. Good prizes were offered in the foal class. The prices realised at this sale was far in advance ot that attained in the local horse fairs, and the top price for filly foals was 62 guineas, many other cart foals making from 45 to 55 guineas with an excellent all- round clearance. It was gratifying to find that the ride and drive horses met with a .con- siderably better trade than has been the case of late. With such an excellent catalogue it was an inducement for buyers to make an effort to attend. Had things been quite normal last week, it would have been altogether an extraordinary sale. the next sale is fixed for Friday, October 25th, when tempting prizes will again be offered. Owing to the large num- ber of horses, the sale was carried on simul- taneously in three rings. It is expected that a very large entry will be forthcoming, and owners are requested to send in their entries as early as possible.
