The sale commences to-day (Thursday) and will continue until the end of next week.

The arrange- ments for the funeral in Tenby have been made by Mr F. B. Mason, house agent for the late Mrs Leach. The funeral will start from Tenby railway station at 11.30 a.m. A hockey match between Pembroke-Dock town team and Tenby was played on Wednes- day afternoon of last week on the ground of the latter, and resulted in a win for Pembroke- Dock by the odd two goals in five. A mixed team of the Tenby Club visited Saundersfoot and were beaten by five goals to nil. For the losers Miss Walters and Messrs. H. Thomas and Dyton played a good game. foe Tenby Corporation, it would seem, does not stand alone in the matter of bank overdrafts, for, according to the Daily Mail, an action at the suit of the Attorney-General has been com- menced against the Birmingham Corporation in respect to an overdraft of j3225,000 on the gas undertaking. The writ was received in Bir- mingham last Friday. The Corporation officials refuse to say anything as to the course the action is likely to take. An extremely rare visitor to this country in the shape of an Afghan hound has just been procured by Miss Griffith, of 9, Esplanade, Tenby, from a gentleman at Teignmouth, who brought him over from Fort Sandeman. He is only straight out of quarantine. The Afghan is the most rare of all the canine species, and at present there are only four of his kind in England, so he should be an object of great curiosity to all interested in doggy matters. The annual exhibition of the Pembrokeshire Needlework Guild was held at the Public Hall, Tenby, last Thursday afternoon. The articles made by the members of the guild are distri- buted among the nursing association, hospitals, and other charities of the county. This year the number of garments sent in was 3272, a considerable increase upon the number of last year. At a committee meeting held in the afternoon it was decided that the next exhibi- tion should be held at Haverfordwest. At last Friday night's meeting of the Finance Committee of the Tenby Corporation, a member called attention to the dirty condition of the invitation he had received to accompany the Mayor to Church. It was not only in a dis- graceful state, but badly printed, and, further, the grammar was not even good. He thought it was nothing short of an insult that such a notice should be sent out to members. When they paid officials to do this sort of thing they expected it done decently. 940 A young man named Brennan, who was em- ployed by Messrs. Cammell, Laird and Co. on the cruiser Blondt at Pembroke Dock-yard, was missed last Thursday morning. The ship is lying alongside the Carr Jetty, and is ap- proached from the jetty by an ordinary gang- way. Between the ship and the jetty there is a low wooden floating fender or catamaran, about 12 or 14 feet wide. Young Brennan was employed with a fitter, whom he left about 6.30 in the morning to go ashore. As he did not present himself at breakfast time search was made for him, but he could not be found. His cap was, however, found lying near the fender between the ship and the jetty, and it was con- cluded that he had probably accidentally fallen overboard, and been drowned. I The De Valence Gardens, Tenby, are now open for winter skating, the rounding off of the various corners being a great improvement. Off For the first time for many years there is no house to be let unfurnished in either Croft Terrace or the Esplanade, Tenby.

Mr W. Ivy Gibbs, draper, Milford House, Tenby, is offering a special range of rainproof 11 garments, particulars of which will be found in his advertisement. • —— On our back page will be found a report of the last meeting of the Pembrokeshire County 11 Council, a reference to Police promotion in Pembrokeshire, and other interesting items. It is stated that Mr J. F. Lort Phillips, of Lawrenny, will contest the Pembroke Boroughs in the Conservative interest against Sir Owen Philipps, the Sitting member, at the forthcoming General Election. —■—•« The twenty-first annual Dog and Poultry Show will take place at Pembroke-Dock next Wednesday. An attractive feature in connec- tion with this popular event will be a baby show. For further particulars readers are re- ferred to our advertisement columns. A hockey match was played yesterday after- noon between Saundersfoot and Tenby on the ground of the former. The game in the first half was fairly evenly contested, and there was no score at half-time. After the change of ends Tenby netted two goals, and won by that score. For the winners E. Parrott and Harry Thomas deserve mention, and Beddoe and Bond for the losers. .t. We hear that the Universal Service Petition is making great progress throughout the country. The average number of signatures received at the head office daily is over 1000. The promoters do not anticipate closing the petition until after the Coronation. Copies of the petition may be signed at any of the Banks in Tenby. Those who have not already signed this petition are requested to do so as soon as possible.

MR. T. P. HUGHES AND THE MAYORALTY. Present at the Tenby Mayoral Banquet last week, Mr T. P. Hughes, President of the Trades- men's Association, was called upon to sing, and, responding, rendered a dibty with a swinging chorus, to which be, equal to the auspicious occasion, added an impromptu verse of his own as follows When I returned to Tenby, the Corporation there Were met in solemn conclave, and were going to pick a Mayor. The occasion was a great one, for 'twas Coronation year, So they looked to Captain Morgan, and asked him to fill the chair. The Captain he's consented, and meets us here to-night, And everyone in Tenby feels he's going to do it right. right. We'll wish him health and happiness, and Mrs Morgan, too, And a happy, prosperous term for Tenby, while the Captain runs the show. BANBNBXBQBNBAHBKM

TEMPERANCE CONFERENCE AT TENBY. The Annual Temperance Conference of the English Presbyterian Churches of South Pem- brokeshire was held in the Tenby Presbyterian Church on Wednesday of last week. The after- noon Conference was devoted to a paper read by the Rev. J. W. Matthews, of Newport, subject- The profitableness of Temperance," which was divided in the following manner—(1) The financial profitableness. (2) The physical profitableness. (3) The intellectual profitableness. (4) The reli- gious profitableness of temperance. The paper was a most searching one on the evils of intempe- rance and the profitableness of temperance and sobriety. A desire was expressed that it be printed and widely circulated. An interesting discussion followed in which the Revs. W. Evans, M.A., Oscar Symond, B.A., and other ministers and laymen took part. A public meeting was held in the evening, when the President of the Confe- rence (the Rev. W. Mendus, Haverfordwest), occupied the chair. The devotional exercises were led by the Rev. J. C. Davies, Gilead. Addresses on different aspects of the Temperance Question were delivered by the Rev. W. M. Williams, Neyland, and the Rev. J. W. Matthews, Newport. The meeting proved a perfect success. The eloquent and convincing address will not be easily forgotten by those who were present. It is very encouraging to find that the principles of temperance are permeating the nation. Miss M. J. Roberts presided at the organ. These success- ful meetings were brought to a close by the presi- dent in a very interesting address, followed by the Benediction.

TENBY'S OLDEST INHABITANT. DEATH OF MR. JOHN HORDLEY. In his ninety-fourth year Mr John Hordley, Tenby's oldest inhabitant, an interview with whom appeared in a recent issue of this journal, died last Sunday evening. The deceased, who was born at Westbury, near Shrewsbury, on Sep. tember 20th, 1817, had resided at Tenby for over sixty years, and was held in the highest respect by his fellow townsmen. He was out of doors as recently as a fortnight ago, but owing to the cold weather was prevented from taking his usual constitutional. On Friday he was obliged to take to his bed and died on Sunday as stated. The funeral took place at the local Cemetery yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.

TENBY MUNICIPAL ELECTION. To the Editor of the Tenby Observer. Sm,- Why did the Incubus lose the election last week? Was it because there were no ducks or rabbits about, or because the ratepayers are sick of the muddle and waste which have been going on in their names for so many years ? Alas! for the hopes of the Incubus," I am sadly afraid that all the ducks and rabbits in the world (and half ounces of tobacco!) would not avail in the present temper of the town. The ratepayers have been roused to action, and let the majority beware !—Yours faithfully, Tenby, November 5th, 1910. X."

MISSING £50 NOTE. PEMBROKESHIRE FARMER SENT FOR TRIAL. Samuel John, a Roch farmer, appeared on remand at the Haverfordwest Police Court last week on a charge of stealing a pocket-book containing a JS50 Bank of England note, two cheques, and other documents, the property of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers. Mr W. J. Jones, Haverfordwest, prosecuted, and Mr Jones Lloyd, Pembroke-Dock, appeared for the de- fendant. The case had been adjourned for the evidence of Mr David Rees, grocer, Bridge Street, who paid to Mr Hani, a representative of Messrs. Spillers and Bakers, a £50 Bank of England note on April 19th. Mr Ham afterwards lost his pocket-book containing the note in Bridge Street, Haverfordwest. In the summer defen- dant paid a JE50 note to Messrs. Morgan and- Richardson, Cardigan, in respect of rent arrears. When it was paid into the bank inquiries were instituted, with the result that defendant was proceeded against by summons. Mr David Rees now produced the number of the note which he paid to Mr Ham, but in cross-examination admitted that he could not identify the note from personal knowledge. The note was one of a series, and he got the number from the bank. Mr Arthur Meares, cashier in the Metro- politan Bank, Haverfordwest, gave evidence as to Mr Rees paying into the bank five j550 notes, four of which were numbered consecu- tively. Martha Page, Thomas Page, and Frederick Page said that at the request of the defendant they wrote a statement to the effect that they had seen him at the Letterston June fair. These statements were found in the defendant's pos- session by P.C. Llewellin. The three witnesses, who are relatives of the defendant, now admitted that they made an error, and that they never saw the defendant at the June fair. It was at the preceding fair. Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, gave evidence, stating that he received the jB50 note from a dealer at Letterston June fair, but he had failed to discover the person. The defendant's wife said that she accom- panied her husband to Letterston fair, and saw him with the S50 note. So far as she could remember, neither her husband nor her- self was in Haverfordwest on April 19th, when the pocket-book was lost. After further evidence defendant was com- mitted to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions. Bail was allowed.

THE LATE MRS. G. E. MAINLAND. FUNERAL AT TENBY. Amid many signs of symapthy and esteem the funeral of the.late Mrs Mainland, wife of Mr G. E. Mainland, 14, The Norton, Tenby, the well-known Hon.

During the service the ninetieth psalm and the hymns On the Resurrection Morn," and "Peace, Perfect Peace" were sung with much effect, and at the close Mr W. Cecil Williams, Mus. Bac., the organist played the Dead March." Upon arrival at the Ceme- tery, the committal prayers were said by the Rector. The mourners were Mr G. E. Main- land (daughter), the Rev. J.
