The tables were laid out, and the most excellent things were partaken of with gusto. Great credit is due to Mr and Mrs Davies for the kind way in which they received the scholars and friend v. The remainder of the day was spent in merry-making, especially amongst the young ones. Sweets and biscuits were given in abundance, the most generous in this repect being Mrs Junes, Capel-Evan Mrs Williams, Gilfach and the Superintendent of the school (Mr James Jones, Torcoed).

L A M P E T E R V E L FR E Y. DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MR H. K. MORGAN.— It is with much regret that we reeoid the death of Mr Hugh Kenyon Morgan, Coedyfynnon, Lampeter-Velfrey, which occurred ou Friday, 15th ult., at the early age of 39. lie was highly respected by all clabses especially when it is considered the short time ho had been amongst them, it was ilurprising to find so many. Deceased was the second eon of the late Mr Howard Spear Morgan, of Tegfynydd, Llanfallteg. Mr Morgan had been complaining for the last four months, suffering from cancer in the chest, and had been attended by Dr Lloyd, of Haverfordwest. He also had consulted a London specialist about six months ago, who pronounced it a hopeless case the deceased gentleman being quite unable to swallow any solid food for some time. During his long illness, the Rev Mr Williams, rector of Lampeter-Velfroy, was most attentive on the deceased, who was a most faithful member of the Church. He leaves a widow and one daugbter- about two years old-to mourn his early and quite unexpected death, for whom the greatest sympathy is felt throughout the district.The funeral took place on Tuesday at Lampeter Church. The Rev Mr Price, curate, officiated at the house; the Rev Mr Williams, closing by prayer whilst at the church the Rev J Morris, Rector of Narberth, read tbe lessons, and, at the graveside the Rev Mr Williams officiated. The service throughout was most impressive. The well-known Welsh hymn, 0 Fryniau Caerealem ceir Gweled," &c., was sung at the close of the service in a very touching manner. The outer coffin was of polished oak, with an inner coffin of lead and an inner shell. It bore the following inscription :—" H K Morgan, Esq., died I 15th July, 1898, aged 39 years." The undertaker was Mr David Thomas, Whitland. The bearers were the tenants of the Tegfynydd Estate, and the popular agent of the estate, Mr Thomas Evans, Tegfynydd, was also present. There was a large number of wreaths from relations and friends from all parts of the country. Gentlemen only attended the funeral. Amongst the mourners we noticed Mr Owen Williams, Fern Hill, Haverfordwest (cousin); Mr Harvey, Saundersfoot, and Mr Harvey, Liverpool (brother-in-law) Mr Joseph Howells and Mr William Howells, Whitland (brothers-in-law), and the servants of Coedyfynnon.
