BETTWS, ABERGELE. A PRETTY WEDDING.—At St. Michael's Church, Bettws, on Tuesday, the 5th inst, a very pretty wedding was witnessed, which aroused much interest in the village. The con- tracting parties were Mr. Herbert W. Shields, of Cefncoch Farm, Llangerniew, and Miss Mary Margaret Owen, of Gwyndy Isa', Bettws, Aber- gele. The ceremony was impressively performed by the Vicar, the Rev. Lodwick Ellis, assisted by the Rev. E. Edwards, Vicar of Tregarth. The service was fully choral, the Vicar playing the "Wedding March." The bride was daintily attired in light fawn cloth trimmed with cream and pale blue sating and embroidered with silk, lace and fancy trimming. She wore a real sable hat trimtned wiah )p.a blue osrtiritih feathets and paleblue satin, and was bedecked with orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses, lilies of the valley, orange blos- soms and maiden hair fern. The bride also wore a gold brooch with amethyists and pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Morris and Miss Pitkin, of Coed Coch, were the brides- maids, being charmingly gowned in cream dresses, with hats to match, trimmed with pink roses. They wore a gold necklet with gold heart and pendant attached, the .gifts of the bridegroom, and carried shower bouquets of white and yellow chrysanthemums and maiden liair ferns. The bridegroom was attended by Mr D. O. Jones, of Tyddyn Dolben, Llangerniew, and My. D. J. Roberts, of Brynygroes, Bettws. Breakfasrt was served at the Saracen's Head, Bettws, where a large number of friends sat down to an excellent repast, for which Mrs. Parry deserves every praise. The wedding cake was supplied by Buckleys, of Colwyn Bay. The Vicar, the Rev. E. Lodwick Ellis, pToT)osed the toast of "The Bride and Bridegroom," seconded by the Rev. E. Edwards. The presents were very numerous. The happy couple left for their honeyinoon in London.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. TOWN IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.— A meeting of the Town Improvement Association Council was held on Tuesday evening, when there was a good attendance, under the presidency of Mr T. G. Morgan. The Secretary reported the receipt of a letter from the Postmaster-General, with regard to a later despatch of letters from the place, regretting that nothing could be decided upon at the present time. It was suggested that a request should be made to the Railway Company with regard to certain improvements near the station, and it was decided that the members of the association should support the Council in the matter. FUNERAL OF AN OLD RESIDENT.—The funeral took place at the cemetery, on Saturday afternoon, of Mrs George, of Bilton Cottage. Mrs George, who was 79 years of age, was one of the oldest inhabitants of the place, and was well known and highly respected. The funeral was of a private character. MARRIAGE.—The marriage was solemnised at Christ Church on Tuesday of Mr J. Williams, of Rhosneigr, and Miss Johnstone, until lately a pupil teacher at the National School. The officiating clergy were the Rev F. B. Watkin Davies (Rector), and the Rev J. Hughes (curate). Mr Roberts (Post-office) acted as best man, while Miss Violet Johnstone (sister of the bride), and Miss Blodwen Roberts (niece of the bride- groom), were the bridesmaids. The servica were fully choral, and Mr Llewelyn Jones (organist) kindly played the Wedding March as the happy couple left the church. Mr aud Mrs Williams left later in the day for Southport and Liverpool, where the honeymoon will be spent. LICENSING.—At the Bangor Police Court, on Tuesday, before Mr H. Clegg, and Captain Stewart, an application was made by Mr Butter- field, the new tenant, for the transfer of the licence of the Queen's Hotel, from Mr. Tarr to himself. Owing to some legal technicality, the matter was deferred. At the same court, P.C. Griffiths summoned a man named J. H. Williams, Llan- fairfechan, for being drunk and disorderly and as as defendant did not appear, a warrant was .ssued for his arrest. i

The controversy as. the origin of the -hrase "peace with honour" is recalled by Mr. Lloyd- George's great achievement. At the time of the Peace of Vereeming, when that phrase was last universally current, it was pointed out that all ,sorts of people had said "peace with honour," or something uncommonly like it, before Lord Beaconsfield. The man who could life without acknowledgement whole passages from Thaler's panegyric on Marshall Gouvion de St. Cyr for his own funeral oration on Wellington was quite capable of annexing somebody else's "peace with honour "-a very venial an- nexation. But it is as hopeless to guess from whom exactl" if from anyone. Beaeomsfield took the phrase, as to discover who first ussd it. The most ingenious shot (says the "Daily Chronicle") is that it is a version on the grand scale of Cicero's "atium cum degnitate." The favourite exlamation. in North Wales is a" —"By George!" And there is no doubt as to which of the dragon slayers, is meant—the man who gave the Strike dragon his quietus!

Emigration. The profound interest now being taken in Canada by the British working classes may be realised from the fact that 2,100,000 copies of a little pamphlet entitled Work and Wages have been sent out in the last five years in response to enquiries trom the various offices of the Canadian Pacific Railway in this country. Of these, 935,000 have been sent out in the last eighteen months. This pamphlet is compiled with the assistance of the Canadian Provincial Governments, and gives a statement of wages current in the various trades throughout the Dominion.
