Treliarris. A social evening was held at the Public Hall on Thursday Night under the auspices of the Ystradmynach Branch of the Primrose League. The meeting was opened with a piano- forte solo by Miss Winnifred Jones. Songs were rendered by Mr W. Dowdeswell. and Mr T;. Lewis, accompanied by Miss Jennie Lewis. In the absence of Mr D. R. Lewis, Merthyr (who was unavoidably detained) Captain Lindsay ad, dressed the meeting. He referred at some length to the Transvaal question, and gave an interesting account of his two years sojourn in that country. A resolution in support of the Government was unanimously carried. Re- freshments were provided in the usual style. Dancing was indulged in until 11.30 p.m., and the singing of "God Save the Queen" brought a most enjoyable and interesting meeting to a close. There was a large attendance. The mortal remains of Miss Bessie Preston, Susannah Place, who expired on Friday, the 13th inst., after a long illness, at the early age oJ 23 years, were conveyed to Llanfabon Church for interment on Thursday week. The Rev R. David officiated at'the house and grave. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Mr E. Price, undertaker, John Street. Mr Fred Target, collier, John Street, has just been elected checkweigher as Mr John Edwards has resigned. There were 18 can- didates for the position. Mr Pett, of Glenview has bean appointed Mechanic at Nantymelyn Colliery, Aberdare, under the Bwyllfa Company, after 30 years service under the Ocean Company. On Wednesday night, at the St. Mathew's Church Literary Society, a debate tok place oa "Are we justified in going to war with the Boers?" Mr A. Pett took the affirmative, and Mr R. Morgan the opposition, and after an interesting discussion, the opposition won by two votes. A meeting of the Truant School Committee was held on Thursday week at the Institute. There were present, Mr W. L. Daniel (cha;r- man), Rev. W. Morris, Treorky, Rev. D. J. Llewelyn, Beaufort, Rev. W. James, Aberdare, Mra G. C. Jamf-s, Merthyr, Mesrs D. P. Davies, J.P., Aberdare, W. Roberts, J.P., Brynmaw- D Williams, Treherbert, and E. Stephens, secretary. Further evidence on the proposed Joint Deaf and Dumb School and the Manual Instruction Room followed the ordinary busi- ness, but nothing definite was decided. At a general meting of the members of the North Pit Sick Fund, held in July last, it was decided to present the secretary, Mr Benjamin Lewis, with a testimonial, in recognition of h-q indefatigable services to the fund for the past nine years, and on Wednesday last, they met at the Assembly Room, Navigation Hotel, to present him with an address and a hand- some watch and chain. In the absence of the chairman of the committee (Mr John Price), Councillor William Lewis, one of the trustm, occupied the chair. Mr Edmund Morris read a few verses, which had been composed for the occasion by a member of the fund. The chair- &-an, in making the presentation, spoke in eulo- gistic terms of Mr Ben Lewis, and said that no better proof of his excellent qualities could b. shewn than by the fact that the whole of the members (numbering nearly four hundred) had subscribed to the /testimonial. Mr Joshua Aurelius also addressed the meeting, and en- dorsed what the chairman had said. Mr Edwin Phillips (secretary of the presentation com- mittee) read the address, and referred to the present -tisfaetory state of the society, main- ly due to the energetic efforts of Mr Ben Lewis. The Secretary, in a brief tepeedh, thanked the members for their high opinion of him, and said his constant endeavour would be co further the interests of the society. During t'e evening, sold, duets, trios, etc., were ren- dered by the following: -Messrs D. Jones (overman), John Edwards (Llew Bach), Gwilym Griffiths, John Evans, Powell, and Henry D vies. Mrs Parker ably accompanied on the pianoforte. Mr William Stephens proposed a hearty vote of thanks to those who had con- tributed to the harmony, and a vote of thanks to the chairman brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.
