CYFARCHIAD PRIODASOL I Mr J. Zachariah, 20 Glannant street, Aberdar, a Miss M. J. Davies, Hill street, Aberaman. Mor wir yr hen ddiareb Fod 11 dau yn well nag un," Mae miloedd mewn bodolaeth A dystiant yn gytun Gwir hefyd y ddiareb Mewn undeb y mae neirth," Os ydyw un yn werthfawr Mae dau yn fwy o werth. John Zechariah deimlodd Fod hyn yn wir i gyd, Fod dau yn well i ymladd A stormydd garw'r byd A Mary Jane ddewisodd Yn gydmar ar y daith, Bu'n ddoeth yn ei ddewisiad, Ca brofi byn yn ffaith. Mae Mary Jane yn deilwng 0 gydmar fel efe, Ni chai ei gwell er chwilio Mewn unrhyw wlad na thre'; Y gwir yw hyn rhaid addef, Gwell dau ni allent gwrdd, Mae'r ddau yn llawn hawddgarwch, Y gofid gad want ffwrdd. Yr undeb fyddo'n ddedwydd, Pob gofid gadwo'n mhell, Awyrgylch giir ddi-gwmwl, Ddymunaf ddim yn well: Boed Duw eich hoff rieni Yn Dduw i chwi o hyd, J*ydd hyn yn fantais i chwi I fynd trwy droion byd.

Tabernacle, Aberdare. SUNDAY SCHOOL SERVICES. Special services were held at Taber- nacle Cong. Church on Sunday last. In the morning and evening the Rev. D. Miall Edwards, M.A., of the Brecon Memorial College, preached. In the morning he preached from the words, H And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved." The young man to whom reference was made in the text and context had, remarked the preacher, t a good share of the world's goods, 'and also a clean moral bill of health. Still he was sad when Jesus presented to him his ideal. There was a struggle in his soul between the new vision of duty which dawned on his mind and the love j of ease which was so deep-rooted in his nature. A simlar conflict was responsi- ble for much of the sadness which exist- ed in the world to-day. The new ideal brought sadness with it because it made us dissatisfied with our past and present. The sadness created by this new ideal or vision was conducive to social reform. Again it made us sad by revealing to us the path of difficulty. A religion that meant no sacrifice was no religion at all. Genuine religion meant cross-bearing and hill-climbing. He would warn his congregation against the inducement held out by "Christianity made easy methods. A dash of the heroic was one of the things we wanted to-day—an in- fusion of the blood of the martyrs into our veins- Further, the new ideal made us sad when we turned our backs to The visions that we rejected were the makings of our own hell. In the afternoon a children's service was held, Mr. D. M. Richards, supt. of the Sunday School, presiding The pro- gramme was as follows: Chorus, a Figh. for the riglit," Mis'' Richards' class Chorus, Kii,.d words," Miss Alice S. Williams' class. Song by Austin Mor- gan, and chorus. Choruses by Miss Morris' class, Miss Hopkins' class, Miss AHse S. Williams" class. Songs by Emily Williams and Rachel Morgan.

Cwmdare Notes. BY HYPNOS." I wonder what the butcher said when he found that the parcel of meat which he had prepared for a customer had van- ished. Well, anyway, a dog was re- sponsible for the theft. When last seen he was making his way down through the fields towards the Taff line, with his tail between his legs, and the meat be- tween his teeth. Why is it that a corps of Boy S^mts has not yet been raised in Cwmdare? There are plenty ready to enroll r.ut thpre are no leaders Ju<o': like CWJII- dare! Will that young man from Cwmdare who walked to Aberdare with his friend's intended, kindly explain himself. What's the reason of the bad blood be- tween the Bridgwater Chaps and the Cwmdarians? I hear they're going to introduce the noble art to settle matters. When and where is it coming off? Why not try to get a truce? Steam roller wanted in King and Queen Streets. More soap wanted in Cwmdare. How did the" picked men" fare with the non-unionists? Have they brought all the sheep to the fold? One non-union- ist declares that he intends joining the union—the Merthyr Union. I thought the young men's holiday club intended going to Weston on Satur- day last. Why didn't they go? I be- lieve it fell through owing to a few hav- ing a slight touch of sea-sickness. Even the papers in the shop windows which announced their intention of going have faded.

Aberdare Liberal Club. The half-yearly meeting of the above club was held on Monday evening in the Assembly room. Councillor M. J. Harries presided, supported by Mr M. Watkins (vice-presi- dent), Mr F. J. Caldicott (secretary), and members of the committee. There was a good attendance. Mr Caldicott gave a statement of accounts for the half-year, and it was adopted. The committee had been commission- ed to investigate the relations between the club proper, and the Liberal club and Cardiff Castle Coffee Tavern Co. The committee recommended that no change be made at present. In reply to Mr E S. Hall, Mr Watkins said that the Club held four-fifths of the shares in the Co. The recommendation of the committee was adopted. At the last annual meeting it was sug- gested that one of the rules be altered so that three vice-presidents might be elected The president is Mr D. A. Thomas, M P., and Messrs M Watkins and M. J. Harris are the vice-presidents. The objeet of altering the rule was to enable the Club to elect Mr Edgar Jones, M.P., third vice-president. Mr Watkins stated that the committee had gone very fully into this matter and they did not approve of any alteration. Councillor M. J. Harris had very mag- nanimously offered to resign in favour of Mr Jones, but the committee would not hear of it. On the motion of Mr W. J. Evans, the committee's recommendation was adopted. The committee also reported on the advisability of providing a separate room for lady members of the Club. Mr W. D. Morris, who had interviewed some of the ladies who had identified themselves with Liberalism daring the election and since, said they were not anxious to obtain a room. The chairman explained that at pres- ent there were only four lady members enrolled. It was resolved not to provide a separate room at present,

Thomas, Aberdare, represented the Society.

Aberdare County Court. I On Monday before his llonoui Judge Bryn Roberts., t A COMPENSATION AWARDS. Jennie Lewis, 74 Mill street, Tre- cynon, represented by Mr W. Thomas, applied for the apportionment of com- pensation money awarded her in respect of the death of her husband. It was stated that applicant had since married, and the application was for the share of the money which stood in court. His Honour decided that Mrs Lewis should have £48 3s 6d, and that the balance should be placed to her child's credit, and to be paid out'at the rate of 2/6 per week. Mr T. W. Griffiths applied on behalf of Mrs Lewis, widow of Jacob Lewis, for the payment in full of the compensation money awarded to her and paid by the T.V.R. Co. Mr Griffiths explained that Mrs Lewis was desirous of going out to Canada to a married daughter, and the application was that the money be paid out to the mother and her daughter to enable them to emigrate. His Honour ordered the mother's share to be be paid out to her, and X13 for the daughter's fare, the daughter to be paid 13s. Od. per month towards her maintenance from April 11th. In the case of Elizabeth Fisher, Mr A. T. James applied for the apportion- ment of J6266 Is. 4d. paid by the P.D. Co. on the death of her husband. She had two children. His Honour ordered the payment of £7 3s, Od. funeral ex- penses, and gave the widow C3 Os. Od. and allowed her for the maintenance of the children 12s. Od. a week. Mr. W. Thomas appeared on behalf of Mrs Hannah Jane Hughes, Ffair Rhos, Cardiganshire, who applied for the apportionment of the sum of £ 270 paid into Court by the Cwmaman Coal Co. on the death of her husband, William Hughes. There were eight children, of whom seven were dependent. His Honour granted her 4s. Od. a week, and 2s. Od. each in respect of the children until they were 14. ABERDARE AUCTIONEER SUED H. Tiplin, general dealer, Cardiff, re- presented by Mr Salmon, sued James H. James, Auctioneer, Aberdare, for X2 in lieu of a copper boiler alleged to have been sold but not delivered. Mr W. Thomas, Aberdare, appeared for James. Mr Salmon said that his client bought a copper boiler from Mr James' clerk for 9s. Od. There was an arrangement to send the boiler to Cardiff, but when Mr James returned he cancelled the trans- action and did not forward the boiler. Later Mr James paid £1 into Court. The claim for[ £ 2 was made up of prospec- tive profit, loss of a day at Aberdare, train fare, and the 9s. Od. paid. Plaintiff bore out his advocate's state- ment. Mr W. Thomas How do you arrive at the difference between the 9s. Od. and £ 2.—I lost a whole day in coming to Aberdare to purchase it. Re-examined He was sure he could have sold it for X2. Paul Brean, general dealer, 56 Sey- mour street, Aberdare, said the copper boiler was worth zC2. It was offered to him for 10s. Od. Witness was asked why he did not buy it seeing he conld make a profit on it. He replied that he wrote to plaintiff regarding it: so that he might save the expense of sending it to Cardiff. He wrote to plai tiff regarding the copper boiler and received 2s. Od. commission. For the defence J. H. James, defen- dant, said he had been in business in Aberdare for 30 years. The article was sold by his step-son during his absence. When he came back to the office witness offered to return the money. He had paid 20s. Od. into court. Witness denied that this particular boiler was offered to Brean for 10s. Od. His Honour considered that the money paid into Court was quite suffi- cient and gave judgment for defendant. "LOOKING AFTER HIM." Ieuan Davies, 1 Richmond terrace, Abernant, sued J. Oliver Jones, David street, Trecynon, for £ 2 10s. 0d., money lent, and 10s. Od. for goods sold. Mr Isaac Morgan, Aberdare, appeared for plaintiff and Mr W. R. Edwards, defended. Davies said that the money was advanced to Jones last March. Mr Edwards Has Jones been living with you ?—Yes. Has he been to London and New- castle Emlyn with you ?—Yes. He was looking after you at that time ?—Yes, he came with me for com- pany. Were you taking drugs ?—Yes. And was Jones looking after you during the whole of the time and trying to break you from the habit ?-No, cer- tainly not. I went up to London to see a specialist, I was subject to fits. Davies went on to say that when he went to Newcastle Emlyn, defendant was supposed to pay his own expenses. J. Oliver Jones said he was an insur- ance agent. He denied having borrowed the money, and denied admitting to Mr Morgan, the solicitor, that he owed £ 2. Judgment was given for plaintiff for 10s. Od A BROKEN WINDOW. John Davies, tailor, 5 High street, Aberdare, sued William Price and Isaac Davies, colliers; Aberaman, for X2 10s, value of a plate glass window broken by defendants. George Davies and William Davies, plaintiff's sons, gave evidence of the value of the window and P C. Fred Davies deposed that on May 12th at 11 p.m. he saw the defendants, who were under the influence of drink, fall against the window. The defendants did not deny liability, I and an order was made against them to pay 5s each per month. ALLEGED PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. T. D. Williams, accountant, Aberdare, sued Lewis C. Williams, Treforest, re- 11 presented by Mr W. R. Edwards, for the value of a dinner set, tea set and two rugs. Mr T. W. Griffiths, who appeared for plaintiff, explained that his client had been appointed trustee under a deed of assignment made by Mrs Jenkins, china dealer, 98 Gadlys road. The china mentioned above had been obtained by Williams from Mrs Jenkins without pay- ment, the value of same having been used in reducing the debt which Mrs I Jenkins owed to the Oobden Tea Co. of which defendant was a representative. I Thomas Henry Davies (Mrs Jenkins' son) gave evidence to the effect that Williams came up and tried to make an arrangement to dispose of all the goods. T3 lis fell through. He however obtained, the two sets and the two rugs referred to, and gave credit for £ 1 12s on a bill of X-5 14s 7d which they owed the Cobden Tea Co. The defendant was called and said that when the above transaction was made he represented the Cobden Co He had no idea of obtaining preferential treatment by taking the goods per contra. The dinner set was valued at £1 4s 5d and the rugs at 7/7. The tea set, valued at 12s, was given to him for his trouble in coming up, His Honour held that the attempt to obtain preferential treatment was not fraudulent. He could not see, however, that defendant had a right to the tea set and he would give judgment for 12s only. ABERAMAN COLLIER'S CLAIM. ¡ John Jones, 14, Brynheulog Terrace Aberaman, sued Phillips and Meyler' Haverfordwest, for zEl 10s balance of rent. Mr W. T, Howell, Aberaman, appear- ed for Jones and Mr T. W. Griffiths, Aberdare, defended. Mr Griffiths said he had to object to his Honour's jurisdiction, as the affidavit did not disclose any cause for action in that Court. Having heard the arguments on both sides, his Honour decided against the defendants. Plaintiff gave evidence re the letting, and produced the lease. Mr Griffiths cross-examined the plaintiff to show that some delay took place in sending on the key, but Mr Howells urged that the lease was con- clusive. The result really was whether rent was payable as covenanted in the lease from Dec. 25th or from Jan. 22nd, the date when the key was alleged to be delivered to the defendants. After a lengthy argument judgment was given for plaintiff with costs. HIGH SOUNDING NAME, The Franco-British Art Co, Cardiff, sued Mrs Jane Walters, Hirwain, represented by Mr T. W. Griffiths, for Xl, balance due on a photo enlargement and a frame. Plaintiff, Morris Zeitlin, said that defendant agreed to the price and paid 1/- on account. Defendant denied this and said that she simply ordered a portrait for 2/- and paid 1/ Judgment for plaintiff for Is.
