Nantymoel.
Nantymoel. Harvest Festival.—Large congregations assembled at St. David's Church on Sun- day and Monday night, when services we're held to return thanks for the in- gathering of the harvest. Holy Com- munion was administered at 8 and 11 .a.m. on Sunday. The special preachers for the occasion were the Rev. T. J. Richards, Canton, Cardiff, and the Rev. L. E. Richardson, vicar of St. Donat's, Llantwit Major. The singing was a pleasing feature of the services, and the choir (under the able leadership of Mr. Robert King) gave an excellent rendering of the anthem, When thou hast in thy corn." Mr. Wm. Caple ably presided at the organ. The offertories taken up were in aid of the Additional Curates' Fund. Benefit Concert.—Under the auspices of the various churches of Nantymoel, a grand concert was held in the Workmen's Hall on Wednesday last by an united choir, numbering 150 voices, assisted by several local artistes. The proceeds, which amounted to over E-50, were in aid of Mr. Thomas Jones, Vale View, who, through illness, has for months been un- able to follow his employment, and has a heavy family of eight motherless chil- dren. I.L.P. Social.—On Saturday last, the Ogmore Valley Branch of the I.L.P. held a very successful social in the Nantymoel Workmen's Hall. The hall had been beaur tifully decorated for the occasion under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Hyde, who has made himself quite a reputation as decorator by the pretty and effective designs that were displayed in different parts of the hall. The whole represented one grand transformation scene, com- mencing with mottoes of the party worked in ivy and flowers, banners bearing such inscriptions as Socialism the only hope of the Workers," "Socialism demands justice to all classes," the whole ending up with a magnificent banner. In the centre was a torch, lit, and round it the words Socialisiu the light of the world." The catering was done by Mr. W. Dyas, on behalf of the Nantymoel Co-operative Society. About 500 persons sat down to a very appetising display of all kinds of English and Continental pastry. Most of the fancy pastry had the different mottoes of the party worked 'on in sugar. Mr. Capel's Band played for the dancing, and Messrs. Dyas and Idris Davies acted as M.G.'s. The following rendered songs and recitations — Mioses Annie Williams, Lizzie Williams, Hannah Williams (Bryn- menyn), and Messrs. Abner Morgan and Williams (Pontycymmer). Great praise is due to Mr. Rees Evans, the secretary of the Society Committee, for organising the finest social held at Nantymoel under the auspices of the I.L.P. The tables were very prettily decorated and waited upon by the following ladies, whose geniality greatly added to the pleasure of the evening: -Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Chown, Mrs. Rees, Mrs. Ley, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Oliver, Mrs. Harris, Miss Hughes. Miss Davies, Miss Boobyer, and Miss Alice Davies. Big Meetings.—The half-yearly preach- ing services in connection with Dinam (Welsh C.M.) Church were held on Sun- day and Monday last, the pulpit being: occupied by the Rev. Daniel Davies, Pentre, and the Rev. J. T. Davies, Dinam's worthy pastor. The series of meetings were largely attended and the preaching; was much appreciated. The singing was ably conducted by Mr. John Jones, whilst Miss M. J. Phillips presided at the organ.

The winter season is a busy one for the local literary and debating societies attached to the majority of our churches. The programmes which have already been printed shew that hard work is being done by the Pentre churches. The sub- jects chosen for addresses and debates are original and much above the ordinary level. The programme of the Siloh Young People's Society includes the performance of a Welsh religious drama, entitled Ruth," written by the pastor and bard, the Rev. J. J. Williams. This drama, by the way, was reviewed in our columns last week and was highly praised. There are few societies brave enough to tackle such a long and difficult programme, but there is no doubt of a successful season at Siloh. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Davies (54), wife of Mr. Henry Davies, 20, John Street, Pentre, took place on Tuesday at Treorchy Cemetery, the Rev. W. J. Britton, Pentre, and Mr. C.

Ferndale.
Ferndale. Mr. D. Williams, who has been suc- cessful in obtaining the post of theatrical manager at the New Workmen's Hall at Ferndale, is a thorough Welshman. He was born at Merthyr in 1870, but left that town when four years Of age to reside at Treorchy, where his mother, sister and brother still reside. When 20 years of age, Mr. Williams joined the theatrical profession as scenic artist. His genius soon asserted itself, and in a short time he was appointed theatrical mana- ger. He has 17 years of practical ex- perience to his credit, having toured with such well-known people as Arthur Hare, A. B. Tapping, Edward Terry, Lieut. Cole, &c. In 1896, he was appointed manager of the Rhyl Opera House, out of 132 annlicants, and two years later was installed general manager of the Rhyl Pier and Pavilion, which position he held with great success up to 1902. Mr. Wil- liams then toured a company of his own, and acquired the rights of that very successful play, "A Royal Divorce." Whilst rehearsing A Royal Divorce at Rhyl, Mr. Williams received a wire from the late Marquis of Ang,lesea asking him to perform it at his own private theatre in the Castle at Anglesea. The invitation was readily accepted, and it was played for four nights to very distinguished audiences. Mr. Williams then toured through England, Scotland, and Wales. We well remember witnessing the per- formance at Ferndale, and it was un- doubtedly the best Royal Divorce" company that has graced local boards. He subsequently managed tours for Messrs. Baring Bros., Cheltenham,, and in due time applied for the position of manager to the New Workmen's Hall at Ferndale, in which he was successful out of 178 applicants. We feel proud of him as a Welshman, and expect great things from him in the future. Mr. J. R. Lewis (Alaw Rhondda), A.Mus.T.C.L., has succeeded in winning the" Caradog" Music Scholarship of £25, tenable for two years at the Cardiff Uni- versity. Mr. Lewis is the composer of that well-known hymn-tune, "Nazareth." w A singular coincidence is that he is also the composer of a very popular musical opera, entitled Caradog." His brilliant success is all the more gratifying because he is only an ordinary artisan, and is the reward of perseverance under great diffi- culties. Mr. Lewis is entirely self-taught.

Last Saturday evening, a welcome home and presentation meeting was held at Saron (Welsh Wesleyan) Church in honour of the return home of Mr. Hugh Hughes, G. & L., accompanist to the Royal Welsh Male Voice Choir. The Rev. Thomas Jones presided, assisted by the Rev. H. Curry. The Rev. Thos. Jones opened the proceedings with a very appro- priate speech, which was followed by short addresses by Messrs.

Songs were also sung by the Band of Hope. Poetical addresses were delivered by Mrs. J. T. Edwards and Mr. Ambrose Lloyd, who also presented Mr. Hughes (on behalf of the younger section of the church) with a beautifully engraved silver-mounted walking-stick. Mr. Hughes, in respond- ing, expressed his deep appreciation of the good feeling which pervaded the meeting, and of the honour bestowed upon him by his friends that evening.

The oldest saddlery business in the Rhondda Valleys is at Treherbert, having been established in 1860 by Mr. John Jones, who came over from Aberdare when the Valley was still in its infancy. He opened a shop in Bute Street, and entered into saddlery contracts with Ynysfeio and other collieries who were just then commencing operations in the Valley. The present premises in Bute Street were built by Mr. Jones, and were taken over in 1887 hr Mr. D. Myrddin Williams, who carried on a very success- ful business until he was appointed local manager for the Hearts of Oak Assurance Company. Mr. Williams' clientele was very extensive, and included the chief collieries from Treorchy to Pontyrhydyfen —a radius of 14 miles. This- old business has now been taken over by Messrs. Yorwerth, Thomas and Co., wholesale and retail leather merchants and colliery con- tractors, Bridgend. This firm is well known in the Rhondda. through their con- nection with the Pentre Saddlery. They have a reputation for excellent workman- ship, which is evidenced by the fact that they are contractors to the leading col- lieries, farmers, and gentry in Glamorgan.
