Denbighshire At ermen. MR. W. J. WILLIAMS, J.P., LLANRWST. Llanrwst continues to be represented on the Aldermanic Bench of the Denbighshire County Council. With the- close: of the Council's year, a vacancy occurred, which was filled at the an- nual meeting, on Friday, by the unanimous elec- tion of Mr. W. J. Williams, J.P., of Regent House. Needless to say, when the news of the Coun- cil's choice reached .Llanrwst, it was received on all hands with the utmost satisfaction and approval. A native of Blaenau Fe.'tiniog, Mr. Williams is the eldest of the three sons of the late 'Mr. John Williams, of Glan-y-Pwll Villa, in that town. His brothers, both of whom reside at Bangor, are Mr. J. Williams, a partner in the firm of Messrs. Morris & Jones, wholesale gro- cers, Liverpool, and Mr. G. J. Williams, E.G.S., His Majesty's Inspector of Mines. Mr. Williams's association, with Llanrwst, with whose- public life he was destined to be- come so prominently identified, commenced thirty-eight years ago, when he undertook the management of the local branch -establishment of t'ne late Mr. Adam Roberts-, draper, of Con- way, with whom he had served his apprentice- ship. Mr. Roberts died in, 1878. and in the month of April in that year Mr. Will.ams, took over the business on his own account, lie applied his busineSis abilities with such success that he is regarded as one of the leading traders, in a very wide district, and he has ungrudgingly devoted the same: abilities, and. wi)th equal 'success, to the public service. His first public .-appoint- ment came about in the vear 1892, when he was elected a member of the now defunct School Board. And he has been closely connected, with education work ever since. He was for a period the Chairman of the School Board-, and ever since the "appointed day" he has held th; im- portant position, of Chairman, (,f Lia.nrws.t Grouped School Managers-. He also represents the 'County Council as one of the Managers of the Llanrwst Non-Provided: School. Whilst Chairman of the Llanrwist District Council he represented: that Authority as one -of the Govern- or.s of the Bangor University College. From the outset Mr. Williams has been a member of the Denbighshire Education Authority, and has taken his full share of the detail work o.n the Intermediate and! Higher Education Cogimittee, the Staff and Supply Goimnittee, and -the Build- in g Committee. Mr. Williams was one of the first members elected' en the formation of the Llanrwst Urban D strict Council, in-, connection with which body he has rendered: the town most valuable service up -to the present time Having acted as Vice- Chairman for some years, he was promoted to the position of Chairman, which he occupied three vears in succession, being followed by the present Chairman, Mr. William Hughes. In the year 1904 he was elected to represent Llanrwst urban district on the County Council, and now, at the close of three years' service, having been re-elected a member of the Council, he has been chosen bv the unanimous voice of his colleagues to fill the honourable position of Alderman. [ In the administration of justice, also, Mr. Williams has served the community well. By "Irtue of his office as Chairman of the District Council for three years he acted as Justice of the Peace on the local Bench, and recently, in recognition of his public work, he was placed on the Commission of the Peace for the county of Denbighshire. The same zeal and1 energy which he has shown in his private affairs and his public work, Mr. Williams has also devoted to the cause ofreli. gion. He is a member of the Calviniistic Metho- dist de nomination, has been closely connected with .the C. M. Mission in Scotland-street, Llan- rwst, and has held the responsible office of .dea- con of that church siinoe its formation in 1880. He has passed the chair of the Vale of Conway C. M. Monthly Meeting; was for many years Secretary of the Llanrwst Joint Nonconformist Committee was Secretary of the Llanrwst Dis- trict Sunday School meetings ("Cyiarfodydd Ys- gohon") for 1776 years, and the Chairma,n for another three yelans Yh. Williams, as will be seen from this brief account, has led an unselfish and active life, willingly giving of his best to the service of the community. Of Ian exceptionally retiring posi- tion, he has, not sought the many honours that have fallen to 'h;s lot but they have been forced upon him in recognition of his fidelity to duty and his. sterling character. REV. THOMAS LLOYD, COLWYN RAY. At Colwyn Bay the elevation of the Rev. Thomas Lloyd has given universal satisfaction. A native of Monmouthshire, where he was born in 1857, Mr Lloyd spent the early part of his life in Glamorganshire and was called to enter the ministry by the Congregational Church at Tre- herbert, in the Rhondda Valley. He was educated for the ministry at the famous Carmarthen College, where he took the first prize each year. As every- one knows he has spent the greater part of his active ministerial life at Colwyn Bay. When, 111 1883, he accepted the invitation to become the pastor of the English Congregational Church, there were only thirteen members, who worshipped in a little iron building. There is now a member- ship of over 200, and in addition more than 500 members have been received and transferred to other churches. In two years after his coming to Colwyn Bay, Mr Lloyd accomplished the erection of a stone church in the place of the old iron one. this has been twice enlarged and has cost nearly £ 9000. Mr. Lloyd's services to Congregationalism have not been confined to Colwyn Bay. Sixteen years ago he was elected Hon. Secretary of the North Wales English Congregational Union, a position he has occupied ever since with great success, and in 1904 he was made Chairman of the same body. Two years ago, when the new Coun- cil of the Congregational Union of England aid Wales was formed, lie was chosen one of the three to represent the North Wales English Churches and was placed on some of its most importan Committees. The work of his life has been I connection with the church of which he is such • popular pastor, and which has many branches 0 activity. During the last ten or twelve years the church has raised an average of ^50 per annum for missionary work, and last year it raised for all purposes the sum of £ g08. Some years ago he was instrumental, in connection with the late Mr Fran*1 Crossley, of Manchester, in arranging several annua conventions in the town for the deepening of the spiritual life, and these had a great influence on ¡111 the churches of Colwyn Bay, and did much to make the town known to people in England. Last year he was the means of bringing to Colwyn Bay a most successful Missionary Summer School. In this and in other ways he has done much to advertise the town as well as to advance the objects immediately in view. Mr. Lloyd is a shrewd man in many ways. but one of the wisest things he ever did was to select such an ideal minister's wife. It was aboU eighteen months after his advent to Colwyn By that he married Mrs. Lloyd, who then resided 111 Birmingham. She was superintendent of a Wesley3-0 Sunday School, Class Leader, etc., and at ColwY11 Bay she has helped her husband most efficiently, and sympathised with him in all his work. the past live years Mrs. Lloyd has been a faithlu and most valuable member of the Conway Boar of Guardians, and her re-e ection next Monday's confidently anticipated by all who realize her worth-

COLWYN BAY. (Continued on Page 12). ACCIDENTS.—Much excitement was. caused in the town between five and six o'clock on Friday evening by a somewhat serious accident. It appears that a horse and cart belonging to Messrs. Davies and Jones, Hope Bank, and driven by their carter, William Levvis, was pas- -31 sing down York-road laden with timber when the horse took fright and bolted. In endeavour- ing to stop the animal's flight, the driver fell to :he ground and one of the wheels paslsed over his body. The horse dashed down Wood- land-road, across Abergele-road. and into Ivy- street, where it was stopped by an em- ployee at Uxbridige House. It happened that a professional nurse was an eye-witnesis of the ac- cident, and she attended the injured man and had him removed on a cart to Hope Bank, where his wife,alreadv was. On medical advice Lewis was removed on. a cart belonging to Mr M-c Doug all, outside porter, to the Cottage Hos- pital, where we understand he is making satis- factory progress. Those who witnessed the sufferings of the patient whilst he was being conveyed to the Hospital were loud in their comments on the need of a horse-drawn ambu- lance in the town. We are informed that almost at the same tim,e a cab accident occurred in. the vicinity of the station. The statement made is that one shaft of a cab snapped and the vehicle toppled over, but the occupants escaped with- out injury. BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.—A tea in connection with the Sunday School anniversary of the English Baptist Church was held yester- day (Wednesday) afternoon. The tea was gen- erously .given, by Mrs Cousins, Miss Williams (Sharrow Cottage), Miss Brown (Roseneath), and Mrs Sparks (Nanityglyn), who presided over the tables. The pastor, the Rev H. T. Cousins, pre. sided over a meeting held afterwards, at which speeches were delivered in reference to the an- niversary by the Rev John Raynard, Llandlud- no the Rev E. T. Da vies, Old Colwyn, and the Rev Dr. Christein, Colwyn Bay. A drstrtui- tion of prizes to scholars also- took place. Mr T. John is the Superintendent of the School, and Mr A. H. Summers the secretary. A DUBLIN GIRL IN TROUBLE.-Emily Lewis. a domestic servant, aged 21 years, who had only a little over a week ago come over from Dublin to enter the service of Miss Millen, of Strowan, West Promenade, Colwyn Bay, was Strowan, West Promenade, Colwyn Day, was yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon charged before Mr James Wood, and the Rev Thomas Parry, with stealing a lady's leather purse, valued at 6s., and containing gs. gd. in silver, three far- things, and five half-penny stamps, also three small photographs, the property of Miss Mar- gaJrej Lid die. a nurse, who was temporarily stay- iril- at the house, on the morning of that day. Misvs Liddle gave evidence as to the property being hers, and Sergeant R-aes testified to ar- resting the prisoner on suspicion of having stolen the purse. She handed the pJlrse to the Sergeant and the ticket she had taken for Dublin. The officer got the ticket money re- funded. Miss Millen gave evidence as to the girl's character, whom she said she had obtain- ed from 30, Marlboro-ugh-street, Dublin. The Bench sentenced prisoner to fourteen days, im- prisonment.
