DEAR DOCTOR, MUST MY DARLING DIE? THERE IS VERY LITTLE HOPE BUT TRY TUDOR WtLLIAMS PATENT BALSAM OF HONEY. wbioh contains PURE Welsh Honey and an essence of the purest and most efficacious Herbs, gathered on the Hills of Wales, being gathered in the proper season, when its virtues are in full perfection. BRONCHITIS THERE are thousands ot children who die annually from bronchitis, whooping cough, and croup. This is a grand discovery for the cure of such complaints. It is invaluable for weak-chested men, delicate women, and children. It cures when all other remedies fail. It cures Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Tightness of the Chest. It cures thousands of children of Bronchitis and Whooping Cough. It cures for One Shilling when Pounds have been spent in vain. TRY IT If you have a Cough, try it; if you have a Cold, try it. It loosens the phlegm and promotes expectora- tion, produces warmth and comfort to the chest, and gives refreshing sleep when you have lost nights of rest. A GENTLEMAN remarks I feel it my duty to inform you that I have been using your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey in my family, which is a large one, for many years, aud have proved its great value, having used nothirg else for Cough during Measles, Whooping Cough, and Bronchitis, and can highly recommend it to all parents for such complaints.—Yours gratefully, Sergt. J. WILLIAMS, R.D. Shoeburyness. IS SOMETHING MARVELLOUS. A BAG OF LETTERS IN EVERY DAY, and what they say about Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey is something marvellous. SEVERE CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, combined with Asthma and Heart Affection (8 years' standing), CURED :I have been under doctors for 8 years. They did not do me any lasting good. When I began your treatment I at was my very worst. My breathing was very bad. I had to sit up in bed all night, and my cough was so hard I could not cough up anythiug. In the daytime I was worse. I used to get such fits of perspiration and afterwards turn quite cold. I was always catching fresh colds. I am now able to sleep at nights, and when I rise up in the morning am able to do my work with ease. Mrs. JACKSON. Sea View, Southport. WORTHY OF YOUR CONSIDERATION. SIR,—My wife desires me to say that your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey has proved a most valuable medicine in our large family (eight children). As soon as a cough or cold makes its appearance, a dose of Tudor's Balsam is it once administered, and this treatment is followed up until the cold dis- appears. Before using the Balsam in our family the children have been prostrate with colds for several weeks, but now, by taking doses as directed, they seem to suffer very little inconvenience. During the short time the cold is upon them, the action of the Balsam is marvellous, and the little ones take it readily and ask for more.-WALTER J. BRETT, C.M., Headmaster, Severn Tunnel School. BALSAM OF HONEY AT THE ROYAL NATIONAL BAZAAR. When it was decided to have a Welsh Stall at the National Bazaar in aid of the sufferers by the War, Mr. D. TUDOR WILLIAMS offered the Hon. Secretary, Arthur J. Coke, Esq., a case of Balsam of Honey, which was gratefully accepted. The Balsam found a .ready sale amongst the Royalty and nobility who patronised the Bazaar. BALSAM FOR THE CAPE. The Braemar Castle left Southampton Friday last with a good supply of Tudor Williams's Balsam of Honey for British Troops. NURSE DARLING, NURSE HOME, KIMBERLEY. Tudor Williams's Patent Balsam of Honey you kindly forwarded to the front, I am pleased to be able to say that I have found it most beneficial to my patients and self. In one case I attended a private soldier, a native of Gloucestershire. He had been wounded in the chest. He had a troublesome cough. He ask 3d for Tudor Williams's Balsam of Honey. I was surprised at the wonderful effect it had on the poor fellow soothing the nasty cough and promoting free expectoration—thus promptly clearing the bronchial tube and air vessels or the accumulated mucous. He wished me to drop you this line. SEE YOU GET THE GENUINE ARTICLE. TUDOR WILLIAMS PATENT BALSAM OF HONEY. SO MANY IMITATIONS AND FRAUD.

MANY of our Welsh readers will be glad to learn that the portrait (accompanied by a Welsh biographical sketch) of Mr Alfred Davies, M.P., of Hampstead, the member for the Carmarthen Boroughs, appears in the current issue of Papur Pawb" (the Welsh Tit-Bits) published in Carnarvon) in the col. entitled Mae Son am Danynt."

So great is the lack ot orders, Uiat It I is Rs.tifipated by many who sppear to be wet; informed that the works will he shut o*er whole of the winter. At present the men when working only have two (sud sometimes only one,: turn in the week. CARMARTHFN STREETS are in a disgusting condition at the present time. It may be in- evitable that the public should be required in the roadway to walk ankle deep in mud. But it surely is not inevitable that the pave- ment of Lammas-street should be like a track over a moor. A decent country lane would be preferable for pedestrianism to this main thoroughfare at the present time. ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.— The services of the following distinguished artis- tes have ben secured for the grand evening concert, which is to be given in connection with the above Church on the 29th inst. Mrs D. J. Thomas, soprano Miss Dunner. Llanelly, prize winner at the National Eis- teddfod,' contralto Mr Griff. Davies, R.A.M tenor Mr T. Conwil Evans, bass. Y.M.C.A.—Mr Booth was to have read a paper at the meeeting of the Y.M.C.A. on Monday evening ;but the meeting was ad- journed on account of the smallness of the attendance. After three years of success (more or less), the Carmarthen Branch of the Y.M.C.A. appears to be slowly disappearing through utter neglect. The members state that the Association is practically ignored by the Christian Churches of the town. CARMARTHEN MONTHLY MARKFT was held on Wednesday. Sheep sold well at 7^d a lb, and lambs at 7|d and 8d (dead weight). The breeding ewes fetched 38s to 40s each anc, stock lambs 22s to 25s each. Cows and calves sold at £ 12 to £13 each some going as high as £17. Mr D. H. Thomas (of the firm of Messrs Lloyd and Thomas) held a sale and show of young pedigree cattle ann prices ranging up to £ 28 were realised for young bulls. MR TIMOTHY DAVIES, LONDON.—The numer ous friends of Mr Timothy Davies, the gener- ous donor of the beautiful fountain and cattle drinking trough which has been erected in Lammas-street, will be glad to learn that he has just emerged victoriously from a contest for one of the seats on the new Borough Council for Fulham. Out of seven candi- dates Mr Davies was second on the poll. The Fulham Chronicle refers to Mr Davies in very complimentary terms. They are repro- duced in a letter on the 4th page. ENGLISH WESLEYAN CHAPEL, CARMARTHEN. On Sunday the annual Foreign Missionary services were held at the English Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday. Sermons were preached morning and evening, by the Rev E. A. Wain the newly appointed superintendent minister at Llanelly. There were good congregations and the collections which were in aid of the Foreign Misionary Society Ni-cte fairly satis- factory. A public meeting in aid of the Foreign Society was arranged to be held at the Chapel yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. THE COAL MARKFT.—There are evid es of a "slump" in the coal market and I h. collieries are taking measures to restrict the output by arranging to work fewer days per week. In plain English to suit masters or colliers (or both) an artificial famine is to be organised, which will cause great distress to millions of the labouring classes this winter. Still, probably on the next strike occurring, colliers will have the hardiwood to expect the sympathy of the other workmen to whom they are now causing such an acute distress LAMMAS-STREET CHAPEL YOUNG PEOPLE'S MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.—The first meeting of the above Society, which took the form of a debate, was held on Monday even- ing (Nov. otn), at the schoolroom, under the presidency of the Rev D. Evans, the respec- ter pastor. The subject for discussion was, Whether it was an advantage to change teachers in Sunday Schools in rotation," when Mr D. James, Picton-plaee, read a paper in the affirmative, and Mr T.. Thomas in the negative. Both papers were well written ,and were a credit to the readers. An intresting discussion followed after the read- ing o fthe papers, when the following took part :—Mesrs Phillips. Picton place J. B. Haries, Blue-street James Thomas, Barn's- row Thomas Davies, the Quay; Tom Evans Asylum-lane Henry Morris, St. David-st. owells, Spilman-street Johnson Thomas. Samuel Bowen, Lewis Davies, D. H. Williams John Thomas (loan Myrddin), John Thomas, Richmond-terrace; Miss Thomas. Morley-st.; and Mrs Jones, Blue-street. DEATH OF MR JAMES BRIGHT—We regret to announce the death of Mr James Bright. which took place at his residence, Spring Gardens, Carmarthen on Monday after a long illness. The deceased, who was agent for a large Gloucester firm had practically lived his whole life in Carmarthen he was 64 years of age at the time of his death. He was a faithful member of Zion Presbyterian Church and was one of the foremost workers-in fact the leading spirit—in connection with the Mission Room, in Blue street, which did such excellent work. He was one who took a deep interest in the poor children of Carmarthen, and many a time he organised a treat for the little ones who never otherwise would have had a holiday. He was a fine type of the practical Christian and was one of the old style Methodists who exhibited remarkable initiative and energy in carrying through voluntary Christian work for its own sake. He leaves two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss. The funeral took place yesterday (Thursday) at 2 p.m at Carmarthen Cemetery The Rev W. W. Lewis, pastor of Zion,, offi- ciated. ENGLISH CONCREGATIONAL CHURCH GUILD.— This guild opened the session on Thursday, November 1st., with an entertainment which I passed off very successfully. The chair was occupied by the President, PWV D. J. Thomas and the following programme was splendidly rendered :—Song, "Waiting," Mrs D. J. Thomas recitation, The road to Heaven," Mr George Jones song, "Ora pro Nobis," Miss Muriel Thamos (encored) song, The Gift," Miss Hodges (encored) song, The Village Blacksmith," Mr D. Richards duet, "O'er the hill, o'er the dale," Mrs D. J. Thomas and Miss Bessie Jones song. I love a life upon the sea," Mr D. Jeremy Rees (encored) song, 'In old Madrid," Miss Lottie Rogers song, "The old Colbigo Clock," Miss Bessie Jones recitation, 'The Lifeboat," Mr A. J. Ross song, "Dear old Home Songs," Miss Hodges song, My bird in Heaven," Miss Muriel Thomas. The Chair- man having thanked all who contributed to the evening's pleasant entertainment, and expressed his hope that the guild would be successful as on previous years, the meeting closed with the singing -of the National Anthem. DEATH OF MR WILLIAM CONNELL, late of Car- marthen.—It is with sincere regret we hear of the death of Mr William Connell, late of Magazine row, in this town, which occurred at his residence, 41, Willis-road, Wiston Green, Birmingham, on Thursday, November l'lt' from senile decay, at the ripe old age of 78 years. In October. 1899, Mr" Connell retired on a pension from the position of sig- nalman on the Great Western Railway at Carmarthen, after 44 years service, and his leaving was made the occasion of a presenta- tion to him of a framed oil-painting of him- self and a purse of money by his fellow ser- vants. Mr Connell was born in Kilmarnock Ayrshire, and enlisted on the 15th of May, 1846, at the age of 24 in the 2nd DragoonV He was one of those who won three medals for distinguished conduct on the field of Bala clava. the scene of the memorable charge of the Six Hundred. It was while the Dragoons were stationed at Carmarthen that he met his future wife. Mr Connell was of a quiet peaceful nature, and was highly respected in Carmarthen for his irtegrity and uprightness and his departure with Mrs and Miss Connell this time last year for Birmingham, to take up his residence with his son, was much re- gretted in the town. We are sure that Mrs Connell and the family-Miss Connell and her three brothers-receive the sincere sympathy of their Carmarthen friends in their sorrow ful bereavement.

Morris, solicitor, has received the following letter from the same writer :— God wan River. E Company, 1st Welsh Rfgiment, Field Force, South Africa, Oct. 2nd, 1900. DEAR SIR, Mr Morris, I hope you will forgive me taking the liberty of wri'iDg you these few lines, but in doing so I am taking the opportunity of thanking \ou for the present you sent, and which I received quite safely. The tobacco you sent me came in a time when I needed it rrost, for being at the time on the march it was impossible to obtain any from the steres, so you see it was highly valued I regret deeply that I am unable to personally thank you for your kindness, but that at some future time I may be able to do eo, and in sending you these few lines I am but echoing the thoaghts of all. The officers (N C.O.) and men of the Weish Regiment at the g ner^sity and kindurss of the good people of Carmarthen, who took so much trouble and plill3 to coLect and oerd out the beautiful comforts to us. It encouraged us and shown us that we have still friends at home who, while we are fighting and braving the hardships of this lor.g and weary campaign, watch the interest of the men of Gwalia. I have not heard of the wounded and invalids who have returned to Carmarthen from this campaign, but I sincerely hope atid trust that they are doing well, and are well on the road to recovery. I will not weary you with the doings of our Regiment, for I know you are well posted as to the news from the front, but it i3 almost at an end and the goal is in fight. It has been a costly one to reach, and one thst has laid low many a brave comrade. In closing this letter which contains but a tithe of all my heart dictates, but which for want of words I am obliged to omit, rest ossured, dear friends, of my prayers and sincere thanks of the Regiment. I shall cherish the present and the kind mer-saae contained therein as lovingly as I cherish the many hsippy days spent in Carmarthen. I shall say Au Revoir," for in the hope of seeing the town again prompts me not to sy go".d-bye, &nd with it go my earnest hope, coupled with that of the men of the Welsh Rc-giment, for the success of future prosperity of the Towa of Carmarthen.
