Ferndale. A very pretty wedding was solemnised at Tabernacle (W.C.) Chapel, Ferndale, on Thursday, between Miss Gladys Davies, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Davies (newsagent), Strand, Ferndale^ and Mr. D. John, of Fountain Street, Ferndale. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. T. Bryn Thomas, pastor of the church. The bride was given away by her father, whilst Mr. W. H. Stevens, one of the staff of Llais Llafur" (a close friend of the bridegroom), acted as best man. The bride was attired in a beautiful mauve dress, with hat to match. After the wed- ding, a reception was given at the resi- dence of the bride's father. The wedding presents were costly and numerous. Later in the day, the young couple left on their honeymoon for Bournemouth. Both bride and bridegroom are very well known and exceedingly popular, and we wish them long life and happiness. Of the bride we would say with Shakespeare: To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Upon the rainbow, or with taper light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish Is wasteful and ridiculous excess." And of the bridegroom, If he be not fellow with the best king, we find him the best king of good fellows."

Pentre. Facilities for practising open-air target shooting in our district have hitherto been extremely limited, but the opening of a public firing range behind Pentre House on Thursday afternoon marks the dawn of a new era in the history of local rifle shooting. The range has been presented by Mr. D. L. Treharne (solicitor). There was a number of shots" present, on Thursday afternoon, the arrangements having been well prepared by Mr. Reade (surveyor), secretary of the movement. The Rev.

Ogmore Vale. Minister's Farewell.-The services at the English Congregational Chapel last Sunday were of a unique character, being the last to be conducted by the Rev. Griffith Evans,, B.A. as pastor of the church. Crowded congregations attended at the morning and evening services, and at the morning service the St. John Ambulance Brigade attended, dressed in full uniform. In the evening, Mr. Evans conducted a valedictory service, which was a very impressive one. Miss Lizzie Kinsey rendered a solo in her usual capable manner. The above church was only opened about five years ago, and Mr. Evans has acted as pastor the whole time. Mr. Evans' five years' ministry has, been a very successful one, the church being now one of the most flourishing in the Valley. Mr. Evans has received a call to Manselton, Swansea, and although regretting, his departure, his numerous friends will wish him every success in his new sphere of labour. Obituary.—On Friday last, the death took place of Mr. Morgan Griffiths (75), an old resident of the place. Deceased had been ailing, for some time, and dropsy set in, causing death. The funeral took place on Tuesday at the local cemetery, the Rev. T. Jones (Philadelphia) perform- ing the last rites. Boxing.—For the past few weeks, Ogmore Vale has been favoured with a visit by Prof. Frank GeISS:' Athletic Pavilion. Among his troupe of boxers are Joe GessA Jack Ward (Gloucester), and Harry Warner (London).

Funeral.—The funeral of the late Mr. Richard Elwarcl took place last Wednes- day. It was a very large one, showing the high esteem in which deceased was held by his fellow-workmen. The Rev. J. G. Jones (Bethania) performed the last rites.

Repeated con- firmations of the accident swelled the multitude very ill at ease, and a large number of persons proceeded to the pit- head, to the surprise of the surface men, who had heard nothing of the supposed accident. It was not until the hitchers came to bank at 10.30 that the crowd was satisfied of the groundlessness of the rumour. We regret to record the sad death of Miss Nellie Thomas, daughter of Mr. Dl. Thomas, ironmonger, High Street, which took place, on Tuesday, at the age of 27, after a few days' ailment. Her demise is keenly felt, and great sympathy is felt for the relatives in their bereavement. Quarterly meetings were held at Ainon Chapel on Sunday. Taking part were:- Stephen Williams, D. W. Thomas, Cein- wen Jones, Bertie and May Rees, Hugh Williams, Maggie L. Thomas, Ceridwen Treharne, Lizzie J.

Jones, Levi Morgan, Ruth May Rees, L. and S. J. Davies, Morgan J. Pugh, Tom Treharne, Mesdames Edwards and Brown, and choir. Mr. Thos. H. Edwards accompanied, and Mr. Jonathan Jones presided in the evening. The funeral of John Price, whose death we announced last week, took place on Thursday, and was largely attended. Tre- orchy Cemetery was the scene of inter- ment, and the Salvation Army Brass Band played appropriate selections en route. Mr. Tom E. Jones, Dumfries Street, was to-day (Thursday) installed pastor of Tabernacle uhurch, Efail Isaf. Cheap motor tickets were issued, by request, and nearly one hundred and fifty had been sold to Treorchyites by Tuesday morning.

The Universal Mining School, Cardiff. A Few Facts about the U.M.S. The system of instruction by correspon- dence has made immense strides in. recent years, and its greater efficiency and greater convenience, as compared with attendance at classes* are now freely recognised on all sides, particularly in the case of technical instruction for .working men in. the winter evenings. The U.M.S. has a very large number of students of all ranks and ages in every coalfield throughout the British Empire. Its course of study is the most success- ful method of preparing for all mining certificates of competency. The U.M.S. has helped many hundreds of working miners to become colliery managers. Many of the highest mining appoint- ments in the British Empire are held by former students of the U.M.S. Fifteen of the present H.M. Assistant Inspectors of Mines in Great Britain, and several H.M. Inspectors of Mines in the Colonies, are old students of the U.M.S. Sons, pupils, assistants, surveyors, &c., of the leading M.E.'s and examiners are students of the U.M.S. A very large majority of the U.M.S. students are friends of old U.M.S. men who have advised them to join.

Many llew shareholders were received at the last general meeting of the Tre- herbert N.U. Club, and from what could be judged, a much greater interest was shown in the welfare of the club.

A strong committee was selected,, and Mr. W. Wil- liams was appointed chairman. The cap- tain of the team this year is J. Thomas, late of Treorchy. The team demonstrated on Saturday against Hull Kingston Rovers that, if amply supported, it will play itself into fame. At a recent meeting of the Treherbert Lads' Rugby Football Club, a presentation was made. It had been decided, for Various reasons, to disband the club, but there was still a considerable sum of money in hand.
