Rhondda Leader Maesteg Garw and Ogmore Telegraph

Maestegr. O.E.M.S.-On Sunday afternoon last, under the auspices of the Church, of Eng- land Men's Society, a very interesting organ recital was given by Miss May Leake, Maesteg, assisted by Mr. G. F. Knowles (violinist) and Miss Ida Owen '(soloist). The vicar also gave a very in- structive address on The Resurrection." Tabernacle.—The anniversary services -at Tabernacle (W.B.) Chapel, Maesteg, were held on Sunday and Monday last, when the pulpit was occupied by the Revs. T. Morgans, Skewen, and J. Lewis, Llanelly. --+- Cantata.—A very successful cantata, entitled Amos," was performed at Noddfa CJhapel, Caerau, on Wednesday "and Saturday, April 21st and 24th, by the Noddfa United Choir, under the able conductorship of Mr. W. Thomas, A.C. The accompanist was Mr. E. Kinsey. Tariff Reform.—Under the auspices of the local Conservatives, a public meeting was held at the Town Hall, Maesteg, on Tuesday last, when Mr. Harold Lloyd, Cardiff (prospective candidate $;1' Rhon- dda), and Mr. Longstaff, of Cardiff, addressed the meeting on Tariff Reform." There was a large assembly, over which Mr. E. F. Lynch Blosse, C.C., presided. Concert.—A benefit concert in aid of Mr. William Price of Garth Farm was held at the Town Hall, Maesteg, on Mon- day last, when the following well-known local artistes appeared: -Soprino, Madame t Morris-BJvana, Tonyrefail; contralto, Miss Bronwen Evans; tenor, Mr. Wm. Rees (Eos Kenfig), conductor of the Kenfig Hill Male Voice Part^N bass, Mr. Jenkin Rees, Garth; and baritone, Mr. Llewellyn Bevan, Nantyffyllon. Councillor John Ho wells, J. P., presided over a crowded audience. Hockey.—On April 21st, the local Wednesdays entertained Llangynwyd, but made an unsuccessful attempt, Llan having a walk over to the tune of 8 to nil. The forwards of the locals were -a pitiable sight, and were it not for the able defence of A. Evans the score might have been doubled. We trust that they will show up better the next match.

Ogmore Vale. Inquest and Funeral.—An inquest was held on Monday last, touching the death of the late Archibald Davies (19), who met his death as the result of an acci- dent at the Wyndham Pits on Thursday night last. The inquest was conducted by the coroner, Mr. S. H. Stockwood, and there were also present Messrs. Pritchard (Inspector of Mines), D. L. Richards '(manager), and Tom Lucas (miners' agent). The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." The funeral took place at the local cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.

The last rites were performed by Mr. Tracey, of Bethel Primitive Methodist "Chapel. Rehearsal.—A rehearsal of the Welsh Calvinis'tic Churches of the Valley was held at Hermon Chapel on Sunday night last. The choir sang under the baton of Mr. Sam Tudor, Nantymoel.

Pentre. The death of Mr. James Jones, con- fectioner, Pentre, which occurred on Saturday last, will be much regretted by a large number of the inhabitants of the Rhondda. The deceased gentleman com- menced his confectionery business at Pentre nearly 35 years ago. and the flourishing business of to-day is a testi- mony of the splendid business qualities which he possessed. The deceased was 1 very well-known in Pentre and the Rhondda generally, and was very popular and highly respected in all circles. Until a few years ago Mr. Jones carried on his business at Pentre, but subsequently retired to Swansea, handing over the business first to his son and later to his son-in-law. His love for the Rhondda induced the deceased to return to Pentre about twelve months ago. and he had since lived with his daughters in the dis- trict. Mr. Jones had been ailing for some time and had scarcely been out of his bedroom since Boxing Day. Deceased leaves three daughters and a son. The funeral took place on Wednesday, leaving the house about 2 o'clock for Treorchy Cemetery. JNEST JOKES, Sculptor, Trealaw, has a fine selection of artificial and natural wreaths and wireguards. Headstones and grave requisites. 4723

Blaengwynfi.

Treherbert. It has been previously announced that r the Treherbert Northern Union Commit- tee intend running a Soccer team next season as well as the Rugby team. As a kind of preliminary, a Soccer match will be played on Thursday, when a Treher- bert team will oppose the Treorchy Thursdays on the Treherbert Northern Union Ground. A fairly strong team has been selected to represent Treherbert, and it will be interesting to note what enthusiasm will be conjured up, and how our first local Soccer team will shape. At the Easter Vestry meeting held at the St. Mary's Schoolroom last week, the accounts were read and passed. Two churchwardens (Messrs. William Glass and Gwilym Lewis) were appointed. We regret to record the demise of Mrs. Ann Jones, of 163, Dumfries Street, who passed away on Tuesday last, at the good old age of 73 years. Deceased was a very old inhabitant of Treherbert and very well known in this locality. The funeral, which took place on Saturday, was at- tended by a large number of friends.

Richard and James Jones (sons), Mrs. Lee (daughter) and Miss Minnie May Jones (granddaughter). The Wishing Cap was the theme of some very interesting children's concerts held at Emmanuel (B.C.) Church on Thursday and Saturday evenings, by the Band of Hope Choir, under the able con- ductorship of Mr. David Jones. The per- formance was repeated on the following Tuesday evening. The president on Thursday evening was Mr. John Phillips, B.A., Cardiff; and Saturday evening, Mr. James Hutchings. The half-yearly meetings of Ebenezer (W.C.) were held on Sunday and Monday last.

Mr. Edward Jones, ex-chairman of the Council, in presenting books to the Evening School students who had distinguished themselves by their regularity, assiduity and conduct, ex- pressed his keen appreciation of the splen- did work carried on in the Evening Con- tinuation School and Technical Classes of Treherbert. He urged them to take advantage ofjgthe opportunities which lay at their doors; and to follow in the foot- steps of the eminent men who had risen from the ranks by their own self-reliance and self-sacrifice.

Nantymoel. Liberal Meeting.—On Tuesday evening, April 20th, Mr. Edgar Jones, M.A., the Welsh National Liberal Council lecturer, delivered an address to a well-attended public meeting at the Workmen's Hall. Mr. Walter Exley presided. Mr. Jones, who was well received, dealt exhaustively with the legislative work of the present Government for the past three years, and remarked that this was the most demo- cratic Government since the time of the great Protector, Cromwell. The speaker further declared that the present Govern- ment would still have been more effective in its work were it not for the action of the Lords in rejecting some of their most important Bills. Mr. Job Baker moved a vote of confidence in the Government, which was seconded by Councillor Evan Griffiths, and carried unanimously. Liberal and Labour Association.—On Thursday, April 22nd, a meeting of Liberals was convened at Gilead Vestry with the project of forming a District Liberal and Labour Association under the auspices of the Mid-Glamorgan Liberal and Labour Association.

Job, member of the Bridgend Board of Guardians, lucidly explained the objects of the Association and the method of procedure in the formation of same. Councillor E. Griffiths moved, and Mr. W. J.

Mr. Richard James, the conductor, is to be highly com- plimented upon the success which attended his efforts, the singing throughout being of a very high order. Miss Eleanor Wil- liams ably presided at the organ. --+-- Death.—We regret to announce the death of Miss Hilda Davies, the ten-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Davies, of Pembroke Terrace, Nantymoel. The interment took place on Wednesday last, the Rev. M. J. Mills, pastor of Gilead (O.M.) Church, officiating. Luncheon.—Following the Idris Howells' XV. v. Nantymoel Town match on Satur- day, a luncheon was, held at the Baen- ogwr Hotel, to which the visiting team and local sportsmen had been invited by the committee of the Nantymoel Rugby Football Club. The tables had been tastefully decorated by Mr. D. Ogmore Vale. After doing justice to the good things provided, the largcompany present were entertained to a miscel- laneous concert. Dr. D. J. Thomas, C.C., J.P., Nantymoel, who presided, remarked on the fine doings of the home club. and complimented the visitors on fulfilling their fixture with Nantymoel. He declared that the game of football, from a health standpoint, was one of the most beneficial and it had also its good influence upon the moral character of its participants. Songs were given by Messrs. Tom Thomas, Idris Howells, Lewis Griffiths, and Alfred Griffiths, B.Se., together with an overture on the piano by Mr. Joe Wood.

Dinas. An inquest was held at the Graigddu Hotel by Mr. David Kefe, the distriet coroner, upon the body of Daniel Evans, a single man, of Tai Cwm, near the Graigddui Farm, who met with an acci- dent at the Nantgwyn Pit on Thursday evening and succumbed to his injuries the following day. Mr. Jeremiah Callaghan, uncle of the deceased, gave evidence of identification. Deceased was 39 years of age, and was employed as haulier at the Naval Colliery. Joseph Jones, Penygraig, a cogman at the same colliery, said that he saw Daniel Evans endeavouring to get in front of the horse at the top of the run, when the animal bolted. He thought something had happened, and he hurried down the incline and found the deceased lying between the rails. Gwilym Griffiths, a, shackler, said that he was on the double parting when the horse passed him. He heard deceased groaning, and he hurried towards him to render what help he could. The jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental death," adding a rider as follows: That the management is to be blamed for allowing a restive horse to be used on such inclines; also that the horse should be removed to another place." Mr. Saint, H.M. Inspector of Mines, attended the enquiry. Mr. W. Leonard Llewelyn, M.E., represented the com- pany, and Mr. Noah Morgan (check- weigher) watched the proceedings on behalf of the Federation. We are very pleased to state that Mr. Edgar Morgans, Dinas, has been elected a cheokweigher at the Naval Lower Pit. He has been assistant checkweigher for many years. The Naval Colliery Company has recently decided not to restart operations

Pontygwaith. With sorrow we record the sudden death of Mr. Arthur Rees, Madeline Street, which took place on Tuesday evening last. It appears that the deceased, who was only 25 years of age, went to Bristol for a few days during Easter time, but had to return owing to a severe cold, which developed into inflam- mation and pleurisy. Mr. Rees was a faithful student at the Evening Classes, and a regular member of the Male Voice Party and the Debating Society.
