Eisteddfod at Letterston. OnWednesday in last week, a very success- ful eisteddfod, under the auspices of the Con- gregationalists of Ford and Letterston, was held at Horeb Chapel. The proceedings com- menced at about 2 o'clock and despite the in- clement weather there was a good attendance at both meetings, every available seat being occupied. Mrs Edwardes, Sealyham, presided over the afternoon meeting, while the con- ductor was the Rev J G James, Rhosycaerau, who discharged the duties in a most capable manner. The adjudicators were: Music, Mr D Davies, Maengwyn, Clynderwen; liter- ature, Hev T Mavonwy Davies, Solva; and Rev J G James prize bags, Mrs Edwardes, Sealyham. Mrs Perkins, of Hendrewen, acted as eisteddfod accompanist with her usual taste and skill.-In taking the chair Mrs Edwardes, who was well received, said Ladies and Gentlemen,—I am very glad to be here to-day to take the chair at this eis- teddfol. You asked me, I know, as the representative of my husband, and I am sure you will be glad to hear that for some months past he has taken a decided turn for the better, and although he is not well enough yet to attend public meetings, we hope he will be able to before very long. It is a pleasure to me. to be here on my own account to express my personal sympathy with the work you have been doing. Possibly, there are some points upon which we shouldn't think alike, but I am sure that we agree on more things than we differ about; and I always feel we should try and pull together as much as possible. And I have always in my mind the recollection of the most kind way in which my neighbours of all classes and of all denominations have helped us in such public work as my husband and I have tried to do. I will only repeat that I have much pleasure in coming here this after- noon and in opening the proceedings (cheers). Mr T. Perkins, Hendrewen, next gave the eisteddfod song—" Lead kindly light "-in a very effective style. Afterwards the pro- gramme was gone through in the following order:— Pianoforte solo for children under 16 years of agePalestine March." Miss Griffiiths, Post Office, Letterston, was the only one who respond- ed to her name and came forward, and her per- formance was considered worthy of the prize. English recitation for competitors under 16 years of nge: The Fugitive Slave." Two com- petitors—Mr G. T. James, Nebo, Clynderwen, and Miss Ethel Watts, Greenfield, Letterston. The former was considered the best, but the ad- judicator declared them to be so close that the committee decided upon awarding a second prize to Miss Watte. Singing at first sight. Three competitors. Mr J. Bees, Llysyfran, was declared to be the best. Adjudioation on the essay—" The duties of Christians in face of the warlike spirit of the age." Only one essay was received, which the adjudi- cators characterised as being an exceptionally good one and its author fully deserved the prize. Mr H. A. Williams, chemist, Letterston, was the author, and he was invested with the prize amidst much cheering. Mrs Edwardes next gave her ndjudication on the prize bags, who said that her duties had been very light as she had not experienced any diffi- culty in deciding which were the best. She had no hesitation in awarding the first prize to Erin, and the second to Lily, who ultimately proved to be Miss Jones, Wolfscastle, and Mrs Peter Williams, Letterston. Bass solo: "Arm, arm ye brave." Two com- petitors. Best, Mr T. Perkins, Hendrewen, who very kindly returned to the committee the amount of the prize. Handwriting competition for competitors under 14 years of age. In the absence of Mr Lewis, schoolmaster, Letterston, Mr Rees, Llysyfran, very kindly undertook the duties of adjudicator in this item. There were only two competitors- Miss Annie Griffiths and Master Emlyn Griffiths, Post Office, Letterston, who were awarded the first and second prizes respectively. Male Voice Competition: "Myfanwy," Mr Daniel Rees' (Pencaer) party was the only one that came forward, and the adjudicator declared their rendering to be be wt 11 worthy of the prize. This concluded the programme for the afternoon. The Rev W. Lloyd, on behalf of the eisteddfod committee, proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Edwardes, and in doing so re- marked that the esteemed lady had made a very great sacrifice to be present at the eis- teddfod, by coming all the way from London. It was, he said, a noble example of self sacri- fice for a godd cause.—The resolution having been put to the audience and unanimously passed, a very pleasant tneeting was brought to a close by the singing of Hen Wlad fy N badau." EVENING MEETING. In the absence of County Councillor James Harries, Hayscastle, through indisposition, who was advertised as the president of the evening meeting, the duties of that office were discharged by Mr H. A. Williams, chemist, Letterston. After a few introduc- tory remarks by Mr Williams the programme was gone through in the following ordir:- a Baritone solo: Pinacle Anrhydedd," Mr Heber Bevan, Fishguard, was considered the best out of four competitors. Tenor "olo 44 Bwthyn bach melyn fy nhad." Two competitors. Best, Mr Oliver Morgan, Pnn. cheston. Adjudication on the elegy to tHe late Rev Dan Jones, of Ford. Six compositions had been re- ceived, the one sent in by "Un o Blant y Tonau being the best, who turned out to be the Rev W. Lewis, Ribanus, Breconshire, formerly pastor of Fold church. The rev gentleman was represented by Miss Griffiths, Wolfcastle. Welsh recitation Ymaon Cain." Two com- petitors. Prize awarded to Mr G. T. James, Nebo, Clynderwen. Reading at first sight. Seven competitors. Best, Mr T. Llewellyn, Martell. Duett (tenor and bass) Y ddau wladgarwr." Only one couple -r Mr T, Perkins, Hendrewen, and Mr Lloyd, Presbyterian College, Carmarthen —came forward and they were awarded the prize, the amount of which they very kindly returned to the committee. Impromptu speech. This proved a very inter- esting competition. Each competitor was allow. ed three minutes in which to give his own history. Out of seven competitors, Mr T. Griffiths, Wood- stock, was considered the best. For the cliief choral pieee- "Croesaw i'r Boreu. There waS only one pptryj the Puncheston United Temperance Choir (conducted by Mr Oliver Morgan). In giving his adjudication Mr Davies complimented the choir and the conductor upon their rendering and remarked that ".the choir kept together he anticipated for it a bright career, and with perseverance make a formidable opponent at local eisteddfodau. After the usual votes of thanks the eisteddfod was concluded by the singing of the well-known Welsh hymn, 44 O Fryniau Caersalem ceir gweled. Towards the evening the weather became very wet and boisterous, which prevented a great many competitors from being present at the eisteddfod. Nevertheless it passed off very successfully, and it is gratifying to learn that there is a clear balance of about EIO, after paying all expenses. The adjudication on the eligy to the Rev D. Jones will appear in our next issue.

BILI BACH PENONWC. [Gan AWEL Y MOR.] PENNOD XVI. Naturiol yw gofyn yn awr sut y daeth Bili o fod yn Bili bach Pencnwc i fod yn Mr Thomas yr agent-i arolygu gwaith mawr a llawer o ddynion! Fel y dywedwyd o'r blaen ni fu Bili yn hir cyn cael dechreu gweithio mewn talcen glo ei hunan. — Yr oedd Rhysyn dwylath Wedi gwel'd rhywbeth yn y bachgen, ac efallal ei fod wedi ei ganmol wrth feistr y gwaith. Un diwrnod, yn mhen amser ar ol hyny, daeth y meistr i fewn i'r gwaith am dro. Yr oedd Bili wedi defnyddio ei lygaid a'i glustiau gymaint fyth ag a fedrai pan yn gweled a chlywed hen lowyr yn gweithio ac yn siarad, ac yr oodd rhyw elfen ynddo ef am "ddod vn mla'n" i wybod pobpeth perthynol i'r gwaith newydd yr oedd wedi dechreuarno. Nid ar unwaithy medrai gyrhaedd hyny o nod, ond erbyn y diwrnod y cyfeiriwn ato yr oedd wedi llwyddo i raddan beth bynag i gofio onwau a thermau perthynol i'r gwaith, ac yr oedd mor drefnus yn ei waith, ac yn eadw ei dalcen glo mor Ian fel yr ennillodd sylw yr agent. Dro arall daeth Mr Symmonds, yr agent, i fewn i'r gwaith a heibio i dalcen glo Bili, a gofynodd iddo-" William, dyn o ble ma chi? Ma chi wedi bod yn gweithio miwn drwy'ch bywyd? (Rhyw banner Cymro wedd Mr Symmonds-o leiaf, 91 mai Cymro oedd o ran gwaed, Sais oedd o ran tafod). "0 Shir Bemro wy'n dod, syr," meddai Bili. "A gwas bach mewn ty gwr boneddig own i pan yn grotyn." 44O, ma'n gwbod bod chi wedi bod yn gweitho yn y glo yn rhywle, ac mae chi wedi bod gyda dyn tidy. Stica chi yn mlan. Dewch chi yn colier da." Ffwrdd ag ef ar hyny, a phasiodd misoedd wedi hyny, ond nid misoedd segur i Bili. Teimlai yn awr y golled o beidio cael addysg yn moreu ei oes. Gweithiai yn galed y dydd, ac ymliyfrydai mewn darllen a myfyrio y nos, yn enwedig llyfrau yn dal perthynas a'r gwaith. Bu mewn ysgol nos am dymhor a gedwid gan ysgolfeistr oedd yn Merthyr yr adeg hono. Y prif beth a dynnai ei sylw oedd tan, neu nwy tanddaearol. Pa un a oedd ei feistr wedi clywed hyn am dano a'i peidio nis gwn, ond un diwrnod danfonodd ei ymofyn i'r offis. Methai Bili ddeall both oedd yn wnoyd ag ef. Tybiodd ei fod yn myn'd i gael 44 y sac," ac eto nis gwyddai am beth, osnad oedd rhywun wedi cario "clap" anwireddus i'w feistr. Crynai gan bryder wrth fyned i fewn i'r offis, a'r peth cyntaf ddywedodd ei feistr wrtho oedd-" William, ma ni wedi meddwl i chi gal myn'd o'r talcen glo yna." Cryfhaodd hyn dyb Bili mai cael el ddanfon i ffwrdd yr oedd. 44 Am beth, syr," ebe Bili. 4-0, ma. gyda ni gwaith arall i chi," ebeefe. 44 Beth yw hwnw, syr ? Fallenaallalddim i ncyd e. Dw I ddim yn gallu gneyd llawer ond tori glo." 44 Ma rhaid i chi dreio, William. Ma ni am i chi fynd yn gaffer yn lie Rhys Rhys." Yr oedd Rhysyn Dwylath erbvn hvn drnan wedi ei rifo yn mhlith y llu oedd yn mynwent y plwyf. 44 Y ft yn gaffer," ebe Bili, gan agor ei lygaid mewn syndod. 44Y fi yn gaffer. >Dw I ddim yn Hit yn wir, mishtir." Ma ni yn gwpob yn well na chi pwy sy'n ffit. Cerwch chi yn gaffer, William," ebe efe drachefn. Wn I ddim am y gwaith hyny, syr. Mae gyda chi well dynion na fl, sydd yn gwbod mwy am y gwaith. Bic mae Ifan Harri y tanwr ? Nawr, William Tomos, ma chi i goflo taw ni yw y mishtir, ag ma ni yn gwpod y gallwch chi gofalu am y gwaith, pan ma ni ddim yno. Mae chi nawr yn napod y dynion, ac mae ni yn dod i mesur y gwaith gyda chi." Wel, wir, mishtir, os gwelwch chi fod yn dda i ofyn i rywun arall. Dw I ddim yn teimlo mod I yn ffit i swydd mor bwysig a hona." 44 William Tomos," ebe efe y pryd hyn yn awdurdodol, "odi chi yn gwpod yn well na ni? Mae chi i ddechreu dydd Llun nesa, ag os na newch chi, bydd dim gwaith arall i chi dano ni." Gwyddai o'r goreu mai pryder oedd yr unig achoso rwystr oedd ar ffordd Bili, ac am hyny gwasgai yn galed arno i ymgymeryd a'r swydd. Gwelai Bili yn awr fod yn rhaid iddo i'w chymeryd, ond yr oedd pethau era ill yn dod i'w feddwl yn awr fel bwciod, sef, Beth ddywedai y gweithwyr? Gwyddai y cenfi- gennid wrtho gan yr hen rai, yn enwedig gan y rhai ddalient swyddi bychain ar y pryd. Ond gorfu arno ei chymeryd. Aeth y si allan ar unwaith, a mawr y siarad a fu. Tyngai a rhegai rhai am fod" hen Benbroc" wedi dod yno i fod yn gaffer arnynt hwy ac i gael y lie goreu yn y gwaith, Ond waeth iddynt dewi na siarad, rhaid oedd plygu i'r hwn oedd yn feistr, neu ymadael a'r gwaith. Yr oedd eraill yn falch fod y swydd wedi disgyn i ran Bili, am y gwyddent ei fod yn ddyn unplyg, gonest a thyner, ac na wnai gam a gweithiwr na meistr, a'i fod yn gwybod beth oedd gweithio ei hunan. Cyflawnodd Bili ei waith fel swyddog yn ddidwyll rhwng ei feistr a'r gweithwyr, a bckldiodd, ddweyd yn erbyn ei feistr lawer gwaith pan welai i gweithiwr yn cael cam. Wedi cyrhaedd y safle hon yr oedd mewn gwell mantais i gynnorthwyo ei dad a'i fam. Cofiodd am danynt o'r dydd y dechreuodd weithio yn Merthyr. Y fath loniant i bruddni henftint yw fod y plant yn meddwl am eu rhieni, ac O! y fath gysur i'r hen glocswr oedranus a'i briod oedd y rhoddion a anfonai Bili bach iddynt. Wylai y ddau yn ami o lawenydd wrth eu derbyn. Symudodd Bili yn mhen rhai biynyddau i Benycae, ond nid hir y bu yno cyn clywed am Ie yn Mhontypridd fyddai yn ei daro cf. Daeth i wybod rywsut fod eisieu goruchwyl- iwr ar waith glo bychan yno, ac yr oedd erbyn hyn wedi cael cryn brofiad o wahanol ranau gwaith glo. Wedi gwneyd cais am y swydd heb ddim sicrwyddy deuai i'w ran, yn sydyn derbyniodd genadwri oddiwrth y perchenog- ion fel hyn-" Accepted. Please attend here next Monday." "Y taid anwyl," ebe Bili, pan agorodd y llythyr, 4 4 mae r swydd wedi dod i fl. Pwy feddyliai ? Down, i yn meddwl dim y delai hi. Ond dyna, mae tyrddrlitigiiiniaethyn ymor.11 Mae yn rhaid myn'd ar unwaith. Pan yma- dawodd a Merthyr, gadawodd Dafydd a Gruff- 144 Fnw yne, heb Jimjygu ei him iddynt, a phan symudodd i Bontypridd, pwy weloddyno ond y ddau frawd eilwaith.

News in Brief of the War in South Africa. Friday.—Further details of the action at Tweefonteio show that the picket stationed on the top of the precipice were killed to the last mran, but without a shot being fired, and that the Yeomanry inside the lines were slaughtered by the bayonets belonging to the massacred picket. Saturday.-General Botba has sent a note to all the Boer commandants requesting them to keep on fighting, as the English Parlia- ment meets early in January, when a vote for more money to carry on the war will I come on. "The English people," says General Botha, II will not have it, and will, consequently, withdraw their troops from the country." Monday.—Lord Kitchener reports that General Bruce Hamilton's columns, operating to the east of Ermelo, have captured 100 prisoners, including General Erasmus, and a considerable amount of stock and wagons. Another serious concentration of the enemy near the Natal border is announced. Colonel Garratt, while operating near Vryheid, has been charged by 500 Boers. The enemy were driven back, with a few casualties Colonel Garratt pursued the Boers in a north-easterly diiection until stopped by darkness. General Elliott has captured twelve Boers in an action with De Wets' rearguard northward of Reitz. The War Office have issued a list of casualties, showing that last month 18 officers and 145 men were killed in action, 12 officers and 45 men died of wounds, 7 officers and 344 men died of disease, 1 officer and 41 men met with accidental deaths, 6 officers and-153 men were missing and prisoners, and 52 officers and 1,404 men were sent home as invalids, a total ef 96 officers and 2,232 men. The total reduction of the military forces during the war is given as 24,299. Tuesday.—Lord Kitchener has replied to a telegram of inquiry that the report recently circulated that two intelligence officers named Stoore and Kerr bad been treacher- ously shot by the Boers near Warmbaths is without foundation. The report referred to was contained in a Reuter's special telegram from Pretoria which was pubhsheàon the 2nd inst. Twenty Boers belonging to Trichardlt3 commando have surrendered during the last few days in the Middelburg district, General Elliot, while chasing De Wet, cap- ml- 1_ — c .1..1 tured ten of his men. me Leuuuuss Ul me pursuit is shown by the fact that the troops covered 70 miles in 24 hours. The pursuit has resulted in tne dispersal of De Wet's force. Wednesday. A sharp engagement, attended by a number of casualties, is reported by Lord Kitchener to have occurred in the South-eastern Transvaal. General Plumer, working north from Amersfoort, was engaged with the enemy in some force on January 3 snd 4, and drove them from their positions, but on the latter date a portion of bis force suffered severely in doing so. The enemy left nine dead. Much regret to report that Major Yallentin and eighteen men were killed. Five officers and 28 men were wounded." A record of the war during 1901 shows that the enemy have lost in that period over 18,000 men and 27 guns. They now number, probably,. only 2,000. The Boer prisoners number 27,000.
