RODERICK MORGANS, BRYNIO-FACH. Enw anwyl, a chymeriad hoff oedd y cyfaill anwyl uchod. Yr oedd efe mae yn debyg, yn enedigol o ardal Esgerdawe, ond daeth i gymydogaeth Salem, Heolgaled, pan vn ieuanc iawn mewn meddiant o gym- eriad pur, a chadwodd y cymenad hwnw yn ddilychwyn hyd y diwedd, yr hyn a gym- erodd le foreu Sul, Mehefin yr ail, ger y, N^w Inn, pan yn yinyl ei hoff gyrchfan, sef Capel Salem, Taflodd yr amgylchiad sydyn brtldder a galar a hiraeth mawr trwy yr holl fro. Yr oedd er ys blyriyddoedd yn un o ddiaconiaid ffyddlonaf Salem; tra rhagorol oedd efe, bob amser yn dawel a didram- gwydd, yn gyfaill gwirioneddol i'r achos, a phob amser yn llawn gwres a chanad at ei Waredwr hoff. Ond gostyngwyd ei nerth ar y ffordd, wedi cyrhaedd vr oedran teg o mlwydd oed. Bu am nifer mawr o r blyn- yddoedd hyn yn weithiwr cysson ar y ffordd fawr rhwng Llandeilo a Llangadog, a llawer gwaith y caweom ymgom ddyddgrol ag efe pan ar ein taith, a phob amser am bethau sylweddol a pharhaol y buasai yr vmddvddan, a heddyw rhaid yw teimlo em hunain vn amddifad o gymdeithas ein cyfaill. "Efe wedi myned oddiwrth ei waith at ei wobr." Cymerodd ei angladd le yn Salem dydd Mercher canlynol i'w farwolaeth, pryd y gweinyddwyd yn y ty gan y Parch. J. E. Davies (T.C.), gynt o Jewin Crescent, Llundain. Pregethwyd yn y capel gan ei hoff weinidog. y Parch. Stephen Thomas ac ar^fen y bedd gan v Parch. W. Davies, TjMfnacl, Llandeilo. Yna gadawsom ein cyfaill yn ei argel wely hyd y boreu Pan y deffry teulu'r dyffryn. Yn galaru ar ei ol yr oedd Mr. a Mrs. Williams, Brynio-fach, merch a'i phriod, a Miss Anne Williams, wyres, a'r unig frawd sydd yn aros, sef William Morgans, Ty- newydd, a nifer mawr o gyfeillion anwyl i'r ymadawedig.

Clywedigion Myrddinfab" Clywais fod llythyr, ie, "llythyr pigog," gan Mr. Llewelyn Williams, A.S., Yj f "Brython" ar Mr. Lloyd George. Ym- ddengys y llythyr fod ysbryd Mr. Liewolyn Williams yn parhau i fod yn annheilwng eto tuag y Prif-Weinidog. Er ei fod wedi cael goruchafiaeth derfyriol ar ei wrthwynebv^vr, eto ystyria ei hen "ffrind" mai "Gorchfygu ei hen ffryndiau trwy help ei hen elynion wnaeth ef. Yr ydym yn cydnabod yr hyn a ddywed— "y byddai dyn yn liai na dyn pe goddefai i arall lywodraethau ei farn a'i gydwybod," ond pan awgryma fod ci cthol- wyr yn Sir Gacrfyrddin yn FODDI.AWN IDDO roddi rhwystrau ar ffordd y Prif- Weinidog yn yr argyfwng difrifol pres- ennol, ac ychwanegu at y baich enfawr sydd arno, credwn ei fod yn cyfeiliorni yn ddi- frifol. Ar v noson yr amcanwyd at gwymp Mr. Lloyd George gan Mr. Asquith a'i gan- lymvfr, blin genym oedd gweled i rai o'r aelo4au Cymreig gynnorthwyo yn yr amcan. Hawddach ydyw i eilun ei geneidl yw dioddef ergydion cenfigeu o gyfeiriad estroniaid nag oddi wrth dylwyth ei dy ei hun; a phan ddaw Ebcliad Cyffredinol, ni synem weled tri ncu bed-war o'r aelodau Cymreig "allan yn yr oerfel." Ond trwy'r cwbl, mae Mr. Lloyd George yn dal yn gadarn ac yn ffydd- lawn i gyflawni y cyfrifoldeb aruthrol a ymddiriedwyd iddo gan y Llvvyodraeth, er gwaethaf y rhwystrau a'r siomedigaethau a achosir trwy ei wrthwynebwyr. Onid yw Radicaliaid Llanelli a'r Carmarthen Town Council wedi pasio pleidlais o ymddiriedaeth yn Mr. Lloyd George a'r Llywodraeth? Etholwyr Sir Gaerfyrddin yn "foddlawn iddo" roddi rhwystrau ar ffordd y Prif- Weinidog! Yr wyf yn methu cyssoni hyn. Yn bersonol, yr wyf yn methu yn lan a deall Mr. Williams, Ilenor mor hyddysg, hynafiaethydd mor enwog, ac un o'r cyf- reithwyr mwyaf deheuig yn ein gwlad. Clywsom fod canmoliaeth neillduol yn cael ei roddi i Mrs. Lloyd George yn y Cymry-Americanaidd." Talwyd ymweliad a Chymru gan. ysgrifenvdd i'r papyr a enwvd. Dywed ei fod yn "ymweliad hyf- rydlawn a Chriccieth," lie y derbvniwyd ef yn raslawn gan Mrs. Lloyd George, yng nghartref cyturus y Prif-Weinidog yn Bryn Awelon. Yn Bethesda a Blaenau Ffestiniog dywedir fod ystafelloedd gweithio wedi eu codi i'r dyben o "wau a gwneuthur socks," trwy ymdrechion Mrs. Lloyd George a'i chydweithwyr teyrngasol, yr hyn a ddyry waith i lawer o fcrchcd a gwragedd, ac felly yn gwella i taddau y sefyllfa weithfaol a barlysiwyd trwy y rhyfcl. Crybwyllir ym mhellach fod Mrs. Lloyd George yn un garedig a dirodnes,. ac yn ymgymmeryd a chefnogi a chynnorthwvo pob symmudiad d;i er lleddfu po en a gofid y gwan, y claf. a'r tlawd.

SALEM, LLANDEILO. Nos Wener, Mehefin 7fed, cynaliwyd cyfar- fod croeeawi yn y lie uchod i ddau o blant yr ardal, y rhai a ddaethant yn ol o faes 'y frwydr yn ddiogel, sef Pte. John Whittaker, Pistyll, a Pte. W. F. Hare, Drewen. Cadeiriwyd gan y Parch. Stephen Thomas, tra y gwnawd y trefniadau ar gyfer y cyfar- fod gan Mr. J. Jones, ysgolfeistr, a Mr. Evan Parry, Esgairwen, sef ysgrifenydd a thrysorydd Trysorfa'r Milwyr yn y lie. Cymerwyd rhan gan amryw o blant, a rhai mewn oed, a chafwyd cyfarfod dyddorol iawn. Cyflwynodd y trysorydd y rhoddion arferol dros yr eglwYB i'r ddau frawd ieuanc, a datganodd ei lawenydd wrth eu gweled yn iach, ac wedi eu harbed ynghanol peryglon. Priodol ydyw dweyd mai dau fachgen o Seison ydyw y ddau, ond wedi bod yn yr ardal am flynyddau, ac tvedi syrthio i leoedd dymunol iawn. Y maent wedi dysgu yr iaith Gymtaeg, ac yn myn- ychu'r cyfarfodydd yn Salem. Da genym hefyd allu tystiolaethu fod Pte. W. F. Hare wedi bod yn un o aelodau ffyddlonaf pan yma, ac yn cymmeryd rhan gyhoeddus yn y cyfarfodydd; y mae yn fachgen ieuanc eith- riadol iawn. Eiddunwn i'r ddau wenau Duw yn y dyfodol, ac y cant ddychwelyd adref yn fuan gyda'r lleill, a'r rhyfel ofn- adwy drosodd. Priodas.—Yng Nghapel Newydd, Llan- deilo, boreu Sadwrn, Mehefin 15fed, am 9.30 o'r gloch, unwyd mewn priodas Mr. William Jenkins, Croesnant, a Miss Eleanor Peregrine, Parcmawr, y ddau yn perthyn i Eglwys Salem ac yn aelodau ffyddlon ynddi. Gweinyddwyd ar yr achLysur gan eu gwein- idog, y Parch. Stephen Thomas. Gweinwyd ar y priodfab gan ei frawd, Mr. David Jenkins, Ffrwdwen, a'r llawforwyn ydoedd Miss Lizzie Peregrine, Llwyncynhwyra, chwaer y briodasferch. Rhoddwyd y briodas- ferCh gan ei thad, Mr. William Peregrine, Parcmawr. Ar ol mwynhau gwledd syl- weddol i'r corff yn nhy Mr. a Mrs. Philpin, Rhosmaen-street, pryd y gweinyddwyd wrth y bwrdd gan Miss Mary Peregrine, Aber- cothi, a Mrs. Philpin, chwaer a nith i'r briodasferch, ymadawodd y par ieuanc am Brynamman, ynghanol dymuniadau da am- ryw gyfeillion. Nid yn ami yr unir gwell deu-ddyn na'r ddau uchod. fel dau diwyd a i gweithgar, wedi ennill parch mawr 'ga.n eu cydnabod; hefyd y maent wedi arfer bod yn ffyddlon a chrefyddol o'u mebyd. Maent hefyd wedi hanu o ddau dculu parchus, y rhai sydd wedi magu teuluoedd lluosog, y rhai sydd yn troi allan yn dda, ao amryw o honynt wedi ymsefydlu mewn cylchoedd parchus yn barod. Eiddunwn i'r par ieuanc hwn eto hir oes a llwyddiant o dan wenau'r Nef.

LLANPUMPSAINT. Cynhaliwyd y gwasanaethau blynyddol yn .Eglwys y plwyf uchod ar y 5med a'r 6fed o'r mis hwn. Dechreuwyd yn Celynin nos Fercher, y 5med, a bu y gwasanaethau y dvdd canlynol am 10, 2 a 6 yn Eglwys y plwyf. Y pregethwyr eleni oeddent y Parchn. E. J. Davies, Bangor-Teifi, a J.

Cyfeiliwyd yn fedrus yn Eglwys y plwyf gan Miss Howells, Pantioiar, ac yn Celynin gan Miss Jones, Ffynnon-felen. Bu y boneddigesau can- lynol mor garedig a pharotoi lluniaeth eleni yn yr ysgoldy yn ymyl, get Mrs. James, Nantbendigaid; Mrs. Jones, Penllwynuchel, a Mrs. Thomas, Bwlchgwyn, a darfu i'r Ficer yn yr hwyr ddatgan teimladau diolch- gar pawb am eu caredigrwydd. Yr oedd yn dda genym weled cynnifer o hen wynebau yn bresennol, yn enwedig wrth fwrdd y Cymmun, gan eu bod yn dwvn adgofion melus o'r amser a'fu. Yr oedd y cynnull- ladau yn dda—yn wir yr oedd "Eglwys y plwyf yn orlawrt, a chafwyd hefyd gasg- hadau da tuag at y gwaith cenhadol. »

PENCADER. Llawenydd mawr i'r ardal hon oedd cael y newydd foreu Sul diweddaf fod Private David John Davies, mab Mr. a Mrs. John Davies, Dolawel, yn fyw ac iach. Yr oedd wedi ei gyhoeddi yn "missing" er mis ua?rt;k' 8,0 yr ,oe(id yr wythnosau yn rhedeig ymlaen, a dim son am dano o hyd, yr oeddid yn barod ymron, bellach, i ofni'r gwaethaf.

The tribunal decided they had no jurisdiction to decide the application as the case had been finally determined by them on a former occasion.—David S.

Carmarthen Pural District council. ROADMEN REFUSED FURTHER BONUS. Rev. John Herbert, Llanllawddog, pre- sided over the monthly feeting of the Car- marthen Rural District Council on Satur- day. A communication was received fiom the County Council stating ;ihac in future particulars should be sent cf any building work which costs more than £ 260. With regard to the Council's request that the 2.5 'p.m. down passenger train should be run at 3.30 p.m! cm Saturdays, Mr. John Rees, Divisional Supt. G.W R Swansea, replied"Much as 1 should like to assist you, I regret that mere are cir- cumstances which prevent the 2 5 p.m. tram trom Carmarthen to Neyla-id stanmg at 3.30 p.m. on Saturdays." The Clerk added that he understood the difficulty was that the train in question nad to go to Neyland ana arrive back ;n Carmarthen by .20 p.m. The Council decided that ;i.e slaughter- house at Tycoch, Llanarthney, ci-uld not be registered as it was nor ;n compliance with the regulations. The M.O.H. (Dr. L. M. Bo-wen Jones) reported that his attention had been called to the water supply (If five houses near Glanrhydw, Llangend^irne, which was said to be polluted by surface water from the main road. It was resolved to write the County Council asking them to have the- road water diverted 88 that it would not polluto the well. The South Wales Institute of Architects wrote stating that at a '-onfecence it was resolved to can the attention of Borougu and Rural District Councils to the danger of surrendering their powers as acjuimstra- tive bodies in connection with the building of houses to syndicates, trusts and limited companies, who were actively engaged in soliciting the various authorities to entrust them to carry out important housing schemes. Mr. W. E. Jones (Surveyor), in his re- port, stated that the Llanelly surveyor and a contractor had reported that the Clos- iffif bridge (maintained jointly Ly the Lian- elly and Carmarthen R.D Councils) was in too poor a condition to be repaired. Mr. D. Stephens (Llanarthney)—Is that the bridge in the proposed new parish of Pontyberem ? The Chairman—Yes. Mr. Stephens—Well, we had better be cautions. I propose that we adjourn fur- ther consideration of the matter for the present. The proposition was carried. A committee was appointed to inspect the footpath leading from the Black Lion to Nantyreso, Conwil, in connection with which there is a dispute regarding the right-of-way. The roadmen of the Council applied for an additional war bonus. The Clerk (Mr. John Saer) pointed out that a war bonus of 3s. was given the men three months ago, with the result that the present wages were 28s. per week in the rural area, and 30s. in the industrial dis- trict. Mr. J. W. Lewis (Llanddarog) proposed •and Mr D. St^hens iseconded, that an additional bonus of 3s. per week be gran- teds It was stated that the cost of living had not increased since the last increase was given, and an amendment that the applica- tion be refused was carried by a majority.

RHEUMATISM KIDNEY TROUBLE Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joint and muscles, the result of ex- cessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature in- tended, which is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble.' stone, gravel, dropsy. Estora Tablets, a thoroughly harmless specific based on modern medicinal science are the success- ful treatment, and have cured numberless obstinate cases after the failure of all other tried remedies, which accounts for their superseding out-of-date medicines sold at a. price beyond all but the wealthy. Women frequently suffer from ills, aches and pains, under the impression that they are victims of ailments common to their sex, but more often than not it is due to the kidneys, and in such cases Estora Tab- lets will set them right.

L.A.—Unfortunately a discharged soldier cannot apply to the Appeal Tribunal against a reduction in the rate of his pen- sion; the Ministry of Pensions have it all their own way. However, "for what it may be worth, you should at once write to the Secretary of the -Ministry of Pensions Mill- bank, London, asking that the proposed reduction should be reconsidered in view oi the fact that vo4 'are still considerably handicapped by your disability. Sincere good wishes for the cucceste of that appli- cation. Light.—One dependent may not-whether on one "ring paper" or mdre-draw a higher allowance than 12s. 6d. per week.

Llandiio Board of Guardians SERIOUS ASPECT OF TEACHERS' STRIKE. The monthly meeting of the Board was held on Saturday morning Mr. Gomer Harries, Brynamman. in the chair. There were present: Mr John Richards tvice- chairman), Messrs. D. Pritchard Davies, J. Lewis, Hv. Herbert, Evan Morris, Wm. Roberts (Garnant, Arthur Williams, David Davies, Wm. Stephens, Roderick Evans, Evan Davies, John Hughes, D. Glyn Jen- kins, Wm. Williams, Evan Harries, John Bevan. D. Thomas (Llanfynydd), Jacob Davies. W. E. Richards, John Bevan, Wm. Lewis, and L. N. Powell, also the Clerk (Mr. R. Shipley Lewis), Deputy Clerk (Mr D. J. Morris), and the Relieving Officers (Messrs. Wm. Popkin and W. James). 4 The Master (Mr. David Evans) reported the number of inmates to be 67, and during the month 29 vagrants had been relieved, as compared with 49 for the corresponding period—a decrease of 20. Mr. John Lev-is, the Guardians' repre- sentative upon the West Wales Vagrancy Committee, presented the half-yearly re- port., which (showed that the number of vagrants for the Llandilo Union was 1.00, as against 357--a decrease of 157. He added that Llandilo's, share of the expense incurred caine to between one-fiftieth and one-hundredth of a penny in the J3, and the Committee was in communication with the Local Government Board with a vnw to paying a uniform charge to each member attending, so that tne unions wti-jse repre- sentatives attended regularly and did the work be not penalised. Three applications were received for the post of poor rate collector for the parish of Quarter Bach, namery, William J. VV illiams, Oxen Gate; David Isaac Grir ffiths, a member of the parish council; and Rees Thomas, Llandilo-road.—Mr. Rees Thomas was appointed. The treasurer's account showed an amount due in outstanding calls of E2,025, and a balance in hand of £6,567 16s. Id. The Local Government Board wrote sanctioning the payment of additional re- muneration for the period of the war to the non-resident officials. As regards the master and matron, the Board would be prepared to sanction a moderate payment by way of war bonus, but in view of the fact that they are provided with residen- tial allowance the Board considered that the payment should be substantially less than that which might be made to a non- resident officer. The Chairman said the master and matron, nevertheless, deserved considera- tion and support. Mr. J Lewis proposed, Mr. L. N. Powell seconded, and it was resolved, that the' Local Government Board be asked to allow 10s. per week bonus to the master, as he was a most efficient officer, and to consider the question of his salary at the next meeting.. It was also decided to allow, sub- ject to approval, a bonus of 6s. 6d. per week to tho matron, and re-consider her salary also. Upon the C4erk announcing the usual call wkich had been received for education rate, part of which is devoted to paying off wans upon school buildings, Mr. John B«van referred in strong terms to the asistant teachers' strike in Carmarthen- snire. He stated the county council were demanding rate for education, when in reality no education went on at all, iand they &4 industrial workers in. the lower part of the district, were going to resist payment whatever the consequences, their motto being "No education, no rate." I he teacher,* are not conducting the strike at a loss," he continued. The education authority are not at a loss over it, and .they probably think they may gain something by prolonging the battle; it is the children who will suffer, without being able ever to regain the ground now lost. The eyes of the Board of Education ought to be opened to this; the county education committee are olind to such Y considera- tions. The Chairman agreed that the Guard- ians, as a public body with the interest and welfare of the community, and the children in particular under their purview, should use their influence' in an endeavour to bring about an amicable settlement. The results of the strike were deplorable. The education of the children was being sadly neglected at the st critical time in their lives. Really the Guardians were directly responsible for the education of u poor law children in its area—and there were many—and not only that, but the education rate was issued and collected through them. So it was imperative that they should move in the matter. Person- ally, he very much regretted that the county education committee had not gran- ted the teachers' claim, as they fully de- served it. lie moved a resolution regret- that the strike had occurred and that the offer of the N.U.T. to put the matter in dispute to arbitration was not accepted by the county education authority last April; arid further asking that both sides should now put all matters 'both the pisher grant and the new scale of salaries) to immediate arbitration, and that the Board of Education be asked to name an arbitrator so that a permanent means ot settlement will be arrived at. Mr. John Bevan seconded. Mr. Evan Davies said he had it on good authority that the dispute was about to be referred to arbitration, and thought they as a public body ought to do nothing to encourage people not to pay the educa- tion rate. Strikes here and there did not help the country to win the war. They should endeavour rather to have the thing settled. 6 The resolution was carried. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. BAREFACED ROBBERY AT BRYNAMMAN. Mr. J. Richards presided. Mr. J. Bevan submitted a minute from the Roads Com- mittee instructing the Clerk to write to the Pontarda we Council for payment of their portion of the expense recently incurred at il6 ^ord> Pantyffynnon, and that the Bettwts parish be reimbursed accord- ingly. A report dealing with the work of the committee appointed with reference to the cultivation: of certain mountain land at ^Pnr!aman' }vas presented by Mr. William iwtl°. said the committee had visi- ted the locality, and saw dozens of en- croachments upon common land, measurlng several acres in extent, having already taken place. Many of the encroachments were several years old, but fresh encroach- ments were being constantly made, even that day some persons were busily occupied in fencing in the land of their choice in that way, and the fences were of earth and stone and very substantial. In short, he never saw such bare-faced robbery in all his life. He understood that the decision of the council to go in for allotments on that spot had given an impetus to the encroachment. The committee were going thoroughly into ..thA master, and woifld shortly meet the oourt-leet and the lord of the manor. Letters of resignation were received from the Rev. J. Edryd Jones, who is leaving the district, and from Mr. Robert Matthews, Llandebie, upon accepting the office of executive officer to the Llandebie fod control committee. Both were accep- ted. A communication was read from the clerk to the Bettwis parish council, sub- mitting as the result of a parish meeting. the names of Mr. Chas. Price, Tynydomen, and Mr. John Davies, Waunnerod for co- option. There were two vacancies in the parish arising out of the death of Mr. J. L. Williams. Maesqunrre. and the resigna- tion of the Rev. J. Edryd Jones. It was resolved to fill all three vacancies at the next meeting, when a nomination will, have been received from Llandebie. It was resolved to elect Mr. L. N. Powell and Mr. Wm. Williams to serve on the Llandilo-fawr tribunal.

-qp TREGARON HOSPITAL. In the House of Commons on Wednes- day, Mr. Booth (R., Pontrefract) asked the Comptroller of. the Household, as repre- senting the National Health Insurance 'Commission, if he was aware of the state of the Tregaron Tuberculosis Hospital, and that conflicting accounts were given at a meeting of the Carmarthen Insurance Com- mittee. Mr. Pratt: My hon. friend is arranging with the Welsh Insurance Com- missioners to investigate.

A Public Benefactor WONDERFUL SKIN HEALING BY ZAM-BUK. If it were possible to prepare a yearly record of the number of instances where seemingly simple injuries have been fol- lowed by terrible and even fatal opnse- quences, it would surely make people realise the necessity for keeping Zam-Buk handy to dress even the most trifling scratch. No matter how careful Mother may be in preparing the meals or in cleaning down, she cannot avoid cuts, burnjs,' and scalds, Iwhilst children seem to have a special 'weakness for knocking and bruising their limbs and faces, and for catching any prevalent skin and scalp disease. Then there arc work ship mishaps which call for clean, painless healing, and safety from festering and blood-poison. There are two serious objections to ordinary ointments to-day. The first is to the lard or other animal fat in them which soons turns rancid and useless. The second drawback is that they frequently contain coarse mineral poison which the skin can't absorb. The most successful preparation is Zam- Buk, because it is natural and wholly medicinal. Zam-Buk is a unique substance prepared '.solely from herbal extracts. Nothing else known to Science performs the same marvellous healing, or dispels disease from the tissues as Zam-Buk does. In a natural way belonging to the natural herbs from which it is manufactured, Zam-Buk takes the fire out. of a wound, heals up the tissues cleanly, and allays the burning irritation of skin diseases such as eczema. Zam-Buk is a soothing and puri- fying agent of unparralleled power. It draws poison and inflammation out of the tissues; it quickly cleanses and cures the ringworm-ridden scalp of a child; and it will rescue the body and limbs from pains and sores that have defied all other measlures. Wherever there is a sore, blemish, festering wound, running uflceU, rheuma- ticky joint, or case of piles, the proper use of Zam-Buk will end the trouble more quickly, and at less cost, than anything else. Zam-Buk has such a wide trange of use- fulness for every-day accidents and disease that no home can afford to be without this greatest healer of the twentieth cen- tury," sold at Is. 3d. a box by all Chemists and prug- Stores, or The Zam-Buk Labo- ratories, Leeds. ———.———<<t.————————

LAMPETER. After a long- and lingering illness, the Rev. O. Hughes, rector of Llanymawddwy, died on Tuesday, June 11th, aged 56 years. Before his ordination, he did a lot of Church work while at St. David's Col- lege, especially in connection with St. James' Church, Penearreg. He left a widow and several children to mourn. Mr. Cecil James, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. James, Cwmanne, and a booking clerk at Uangennech, left Lampeter on Monday to take up an important naval post at Plymouth, which he succeeded in securing after a stiff examination in which scores of young men were competing. He is only 18 years of age. The Unitarians of Lampeter and district he!d their annual cymanfa at ()ar Chapel on Wednesday, when there wavs a good attendance. Although the Town Council send a cart round every Thursday to collect ashes, all the; inhabitants do not observe the rule which prevails, but deposit the ashes at the backs of their hou.o«. This is not right, and the authorities should see that the practice be stopped. A large number of those interested in potatoe c.ulture witnessed a fine demonstra- tion of spraying, which took place on land belonging to Mr. Timothy Evans, Dole- coed, on Wednesday afternon. The demon- stration was successfully carried out by a gentleman from the Agricultural Depart- ment of Abcrystwyth College, and un- doubtedly many will experiment spraying their potatoes in their allotments and gar- dens. The Town Council purchased a sprayer last year, and those who .used it were delighted with the result. The quarterly meeting of the Lampeter Deanery Sunday School Association was held at the Church Hall on Thursday even- ing. June 13. The Rev. J. N. Evans, R.D., Cellan, presided, and a large num- ber of delegates were present from the Sunday Schools of the Deanery. The Rev. E. J. Davies, rector* of Bangor Tedi, dio- cesan organizing secretary of Sunday Schools, addressed the lomeeting, remarking that there was more need than ever to sup- port the Sunday School, and that the edu- cation taught should be decisive and doc- trinal, on perfect Church lines. Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. D. T. Alban, vicar; D. A. Thomas, 14azigybi; and Messrs. Evan. Evans, William Jones, J. Davies (Llangybi.), and the Rural Dean. It was resolved to re-establish the Sunday School Union, Mr. Davies, Llangybi, to convene the first meeting. The death of Mr. Davies, headmaster of Coedmore School, Ram, took place at his residence, Glynllifon, on Thursday morn- ing, aged 56. He had not enjoyed robust health for some years, but had been able to fulfil his duties until about two months ago. Mr. Davies was well-known and respected in the town and, district. His mortaA remains were conveyed to Lledrod, for mten lent or Tuesday. Through the kindness of the St. David's College authorities, a medical board for the examination of recruits for the army was opened at the Canterbury Buildings ion Friday A large number of men were examined on the opening and following days, and it is expected that there will be IJufficient men to be examined throughout next week. It is expected that the result of St. David's College examination will be known early next week. Many of those who will bid adieu to the Alma Mater as students, but we hope to see them at Lampeter on future occasions. Four clergymen,- who I had been students at the College years ago, sat their B.D. examination during the week thus proving that they ard proud of their old associations. Profiteering has not completelir vanished bum Lampeter, and inquiries {should be made why some shopf; charge more than others for their commodities. Cheese is un- known here, but butter seems plentiful, al- though the price is still too high. Eggs have a tendency to be dear and scarce, although no valid reasons are given for the high prices. Rearers of poultry must have a profit, but before eggs reach the con- sumer other people have added to the profit, and the poor buyer has to bear the burden. At the Mart on Tuesday, the prices were similar to those obtained at the previous ma.rt. The entries were numerous. It is said that a -large number of appeals against the decision of local tribunals will be made at the next county tribunal, which will be held in the near future. 410

The Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire Baptist Association expressed its warm ap- preciation of the action of Mr. Edward Thomas, Llechwedd, Deri, Manordilo, in buying up a public house in the Llanfyn- ydd district and extinguishing the licence.
