Mold. The Apostles' Creed. The infallible oracle has once more spoken in con- nection with the proposed compromise in Flintshire. In this county the education authority discussed the question of adopting the Apostles' Creed in their provided schools. The discussion, which, on the whole, was carried on with fairness and moderation, reflected much credit upon the good senfe of the authority, but it was deemed advisable to postpone the matter until the January meeting. The Apostlts' Creed is as harmless and unsectarian a document as any creed can well be. It simply focuses the fundamental truths of the Christian religion, which every good Christian is supposed to believe. But Mr Lloyd George will not have it. Writing to a Chester correspondent, the Revolter-in-Chief sets his ban upon the Flintshire proposal and says it is a pernicious suggestion," which cm only lead to sectarian strife and intolerance." A moment's reflection would have shown Mr Lloyd-George and his friends that the intolerance is all on their side, and intolerance, too, of a very pallicg kind. The creed in question is common to all Christians, being a portion of the heritage of Christendom, and yet in a Christian land the creed mnst not be taught to chil iren of Christian parents. If the Flintshire Education Authority have any backbone they will tell Mr Lloyd-George and other busy- bodies to attend to their own duties. Distribution of Prizes. Captain Kelly presided on Monday evening at the dis- tribution of prizes to the A Co., 2nd V.B.R.W.F and Cel. Sliiriff Roberts and Major Keene were amongst the officers present. The former comilimented Cap' Kelly on the strength and efficiency of the company. He started volunteering with that company, and he delighted his hearers with remirisconces of his early days of volunteer- ing. He compared the equipment of those days with modern conditions, much to the advantage of the present day. Having dealt with the advance of the Volunteer movement and the work of the Volunteers in conjunction with the Regular forces in the South African war, Colonel Roberts spoke at length upon the future of Volunteering and its great and glorious possibilities. He congratulated the company upon possessing a full com- plement of officers at a time when there was a scarcity of officers throughout the country, aod commented upon the advantages to be gained in civil and commercial life as a result of volantier service. After advocating com- polsory" volunteering, he said the future of the Volunteer forces was now in the melting pot. It was an open secret that the numbers were to be reduced, and that the reduc- tion would probably be in the country corps. This, he contended, would be a fatal mistalte, as however much smarter on parade their city comrades might be it was the personnel contained in the country corps that would be of real service when emergency arose. Football. Hawarden Bridge Reserves met Mold Alyn Juniors in a friendly match on Saturday at Mold. Hawarden broke away after a time, and their right wing shot wide of the mark. A moment 'aterthe visitors' goal had a very nar- row eecape, Davies missing by inches only. Mold forced another corner, but the visiting custodian fisted out in fine strle. Robeits ran down and kicked the ball into the goalkeeper's hands, who, in clearing, over-carried the ball, and Mold were awarded a free kick, which was taken by H Lloyd, wbo made no mistake in placing the ball in the et for the Juniors. That was the final result. The Champion Beast. The carcase gueising competition, for prizes kindly given by a number of our leading tradesmen, for the nearest estimate of the dead weight of this year's Mold Champion has caused g-eat excitement. The carease was weighed on Wednesday in the presence of our woithy vicar, the Rev W Poole Hugbes, Mr J Wynne Williams (chairman of the Urban District Council), and Mr Sheffield, aud registered at 54 ser. 16 lbs. There were 2,017 papers in the ballot box. There was a great Dumber within 10 lbs. Twelve competitors were 6lbs out, and as there were only 12 prizes in all, these had to be reduced by drawing out of a hat to reduce the number to 4. However, we must congratulate Mr Sheffield and his assistants upon the fair and satisfactory manner in which the competition was carried out. The first twelve were Mr J James, L-'very Statles, 54sc 1411s—Dressing Case Mr J 8 Adkins, Birmingham, 54sc 181bs—Silver Teapot Mr W Hopwood, Mynydd Isa, 54se 18lbs-Pair Boots Mr J Shannon, Milford-sf, Mold, 54sc 191bs—Cruet Stand Mr W Lewis, Shordly Manor, Hope, 55sc Olbs-Brandy Mr G S Evans, butcher, Hope, 5511c Olbs-V 0 S Whisky Mr Peter Edwards, Wruham St., Mold, 55se—B Spirits Miss Juroes, Wrexham St Mold, 55se Olbs-Felt Hat Mr J it Uavies, tmtcner, tfuthm, Msc JAJlbs—iJiSii Fipe Mifs Webster, Gwerr-ymarl, 5isc lOlbs- Umbrdla Mies A L Jones, 23 Wrexham St, Mold, 54sc lOlbs— Hair Brushes M W Jennings, Gwernyffynon, 54sc lOlbs—Gig Whip Christmas Poultry Sale. On Friday Mr Chas P Sheffield conducted his annual sale of Christmas poultry. This was a huge success, there being about 2000 head forward, which sold, especially in some instances, at very high prices. It was generally acknowledged by all that this year's Christmas sales have never been excelled at Mold. Turkeys made up to Is ód per lb, and geere up to Is 3d. For the best lot of turkeys the first prize was awarded to Mr Stewart, Nerquis Hall, whose let averaged nearly £ 1 a piece. Geere, Mr J Bateman, Monachlog, sold at 15s each. Ducks, Mr Evans, Flint, spIel as 15s tid per couple. Buyers were in attendance from Birmingham, Chester, Rhyl, and the surrounding towns. Funeral of the late Madame Douglas Adams. On Monday last the whele of Mold was in mourning on the occasion of the funeral of the late Madame Douglas Adams, ar.d all business places and private houses had their blinds drawn, in r< spect for the deceased lady. At 2 p.rn., the Rev J P Poole Hughes (vicar) conducted a short ,erviee at the residence of the deceased, from where the cottage proceeded to the Parieh Church, which was filled with mourners paying their last tribute to their friend, who was thought so much of by everyone who came into contact with her. The Vicar read the openinguf the Burial Service, acd the choir sang three suitable hymns with very great effect. The Rev R E Roberts read the lesson, and the Rev J Strand Jones read the prayers. At the conclusion 9f the service the jj Dead March in Spul 11 was played by Mr W H Adani-, organist. The cortege then proceeded to the cemetery, where the Vicar read the concluding portion of the burial service.

St. Asaph. Parish Council. The monthly meeting was held at the Council Offices on Monday night. Mr Charles Mansbridge presided, and the other members present were Dr Davies and Messrs H A Cleaver, W Williams, and J Lothian, with the Clerk (Mr T F Roberts). The business disposed of was of a purely routine character and of no public interest, beyond a com- plaint that the street lamp meters were not working properly, the remedying of which was at once ordered. Nursing Association. The annual meeting of the St Asaph Nursing Association was held at the Old Savings Bank oa Monday. The Rev Herbert Evans presided in the absence of the Dean of St Asaph through indis- position, and a satisfactory account of the past year's work was given by Nurse Moore, to whose valuable services amongst the needy others present testified in eloquent terms.

The general pnblic of St Asaph and district have every reason to be proud of the manner, ia which they ace catered for by local tradesmen I at this time of the year.

Foremost amongst the grocery establishments are those of Messrs Jones and Snn, Liverpool House, and Messrs E B Jones and Co., High Street, whose respective dis- plays are of a very comprehensive character, both firms making a speciality of fruit and fancy cakes.

Gwaenysgor School. INJUNCTION AGAINST THE LATE MASTER. FEARED BREACH OF THE PEACE. On Wednesday, before Mr Justice Kekewich. Mr P Ogden Lawrence, K.C., said that he had a motion in the action of llughes v Jones to restrain the defendant in an action winch was brought by the managers of a school in North Wales from acting or purporting to act as schoolmaster of the school and from trespassing upon the school or any part thereof. It did net -ppear that defendant was going to defend so far as he (counsel) could tell, and the only question was whether his lordship thought it right to go on with the motion in the defendant's absence. Mr Justice Kekewick.-Ol), yes. I suppose he has been sewed with proper notice. Mr Lawrence sail that pr >p.n- notice had been served. The defend int claimed aright to continue his posit on as schoolmaster, but that right had been disaffirmed by his lordship and by the Ceurt of App.-al The defend- ant fclso said that he was backed up by ti e County Council, but his lordship and the Court of Appeal bad held that the County Council had nothing whatever to do with this matter. The defendant claiming a right, it was necessary that an injunction should be granted against him. As things at present stood they conld not get another schoolmaster, because they did not want to have a breach of the peace. He therefore asked his lordship to restrain the defendant from acting or pur- porting to act as schoolmaster, or trespassing upon tlia school or any part the Mr Justice Kekewich I aan [ xtremely sorry that so sacred a cause as that of education should be the subject of litigation of this kind. However, I suppose one cannot help it Mr Lawrence We mmt take an ia junction until the trial or further order on the terms of the notice of motion ? Mr Justice Kekewich Yes. The defendant did not appear.

Death of Bodran. Just before going to press we hear of the death of Mr R Roberts (Bodran), which took place at Chester Infirmary. Mr Roberts was best known to the older inhabitants of Rhyl, although his periodical visits to the town in later years brought him additional acquaintances. In the latter sixties and early seventies deceased carried on a very large drapeiy business in High Street, at or n3ar where Mr Emlyn's shop is at present. This he sold, going to Carnarvon to reside, and where for some years he kept the Castle Hotel. We be- lieve that he gave up that house oa the death of Mrs Roberts. For many years past deceased had been acting as tiaveller in North Wales for a Scotch firm of publishers. Mr Roberts was a native of Llanfairhlhaiarn, and had taken his bardic name from Mynydd Bodran in that neighbourhood. 119 was more of a rhymster than a bard. But he took considerable delight in poetry, and we have seen him conducting at an Eisteddfod with considerable ability, an ability that would hdve put to the blush some highly-paid National Eisteddfod conductors. When residing at Rhyi Mr Roberts was for years a member of the Board of Commissioners, and he took a prominent part in some of the old fights-such as that of the Assist- ant Overseer and the first School Board contcst. Deceased waa a. Conservative in politics, and he was a regular attendant at the Parish Church. His body is to bj brought to Rhyl to- day (Friday), for interment in the old cemetery, where his wife is already buried. The train is due at 2-10, but all trains are now greatly delayed.

The Carol Singing Nuisance. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. SIR,-Last year someone complained in yonr columns of this nuisance; but too late to abate it then. I hope it is not too late to have it put down this year. In residential streets already crowds of children, and of young men (who ought to be ashamed of themselves), are making hideous noises from door to door, and begging. I think if someone moie important than myself would inform our excellent staff of police officers what is going on in these parts of the town, the nuisance would soon he pit down, before we reach the Saturday night's expected pande- monium.—I remain. Dec. 20, 1904. A SUBURBAN.

Tremeirchion. Death. The death took place at Vronshed, Tremeirchio n last Saturday, of Mr Michael Gallagher, a we 11 known figure in the district. He had attained the ripe age of 76 years, and was for 55 years a faithful servant of St Beuno's College. His funeral on Wednesday was largely attended, the interment taking place in the Parish Churchyard.

Hofywell. St Winefred's. On Sunday last, the Right Rey Dr Mostyni Bishop of Menevia, made a visitation to St Wine- fred's Catholic Church. In the evening, his Lord- ship administered Confirmation to between forty and fifty candidates, aid addressed the children upon the rite of the laying oa of hands. Charities. On Wednesday, St Thomas' Day, the charities attached to Holywell and the Parish Church, were distributed at St. Winefred's Hall by the existing trustees, the Vicar and Churchwardens. As the draft scheme for the control of the parochial charities will in all probability be in operation next year, the distribution on Wednes- day is the last under the old regime.

Military Funeral at Mold. The funeral of Private George Humphreys took place at the Mold Cemetery on Thursday. The deceased had besn a member of the A Co. Vol. Bat. R.W. Fusiliers for a long period, first starting when a boy as a bugler. He served with the first company of the Volunteers who wont out to South Africa unier Capt T M Keene, aud also with the Imperial Yeomanry. He had been unwell for some time, having contracted a fever upon his second journey to South Africa, and consumption set in, of which complaint he died on Monday morning. The band of the Mold Volunteers at- tended and members of the Company, in command of Major T M Keene, Capt R Stewart Kelly, Lieut Webber, and Sergt-Instr. Wylbrow, also a detach- ment of the Imperial Yeomanry. The band played the Dead March in Saul and the hymn Jesu, lover of my soul," under the conductotship of the bandmaster, Mr R E Thomas. The firing party was under the command of Col. Sergt E Barnett, and the "last post" was played between each volley. The service was conducted by the Rev W Morgan, Baptist minister.

The Railway Traffic. This is greatly disorganised these days It is always so at Christmas time but the fog has made matters worse than usual. The Vale of Clwyd train which should have started from Rhyl at 10-25 did not do so last evening until 11-55. This was caused by a train which should have left Chester at S-40 p.m., not arriving at Rhyl until 11-50. The Weather. This mornivg the atmosphere is somewhat hazy at Rhyl. For the past few days it has been tert ibly foggy in almost all inland parts. According to the "Daily Mirror" (which is the only daily paper to have arrived in this town up to the time of our going to press this morning), communications were greatly disorganized on both land and sea yesterday.
