Mr Alfred Davies, M.P., who, according to the Dailil News, is known as Mr Pickwick, attended the Progressives' Parliamentary dinuer to Mr W. Crooks and Dr Hutchinson on Tuesday night. Mr Sylvanus Howell Lewis, of Nanteos, Aberys- twyth, agent of the Nanteos estate, died on January 28th, leiving peoperty to the value of £ 93J 12s Id. Mr Edward Athflstan Lewis, of Rhydytiriau, the nephew, and John Henry Cobb. of 53, Lincoln's Iun Fields, solicitors, are the executors. The King drove on Monday afternoon to Victoria Station, whence he travelled by special train to Ports- mouth, and embarked on board the Royal yacht, which was to have stars ed in the evening for Portugal. In consequence, however, of the heavy westerly gale in the < hannel, his Majesty decided to spend the night in the harbour. The Queen left London for Victoria Station on Monday morning for Dover, en route for Copenhagen, by special train. The King and the Prince of Wales drove wiih her Majesty to the station, and took leave of her in the train. The Queen reached Dover at 11.15 a.m and at once went on board the special steamer Empress, which left for Calais immediately after- wards. As we go to press we learn with pleasure that Mr Delme Davies-Evans is making satisfactory progress after his rather serious accident at the Carmarthenshire Point-to-Point liaces on Mondav. Mr Davies-Evans is staying at Coomb, and is receiving all the attention that medical skill can render, and with the best re- sults.

[l TEMPERANCE.—The weekly meeting of the Carmar- then Total Abstinence Society was neld on Sunday evening last at Union-street Chapel, Mr Davies, Park- stores, Lammas-street, presiding. The attendance was very meagre. Addresses were ¡,;ven by the Chairman, Mr D h Thomas, Water-street, and Mr George Gregory, Lammas-street. Two or three of the O.C.S. also made a few remarks. ZION CHAPEL.—The anniversary meetings in con- nection with the above chapel were held on Sunday last, when the Rev M. H. Jones, Abercynon (pastor- elect of Water-street Chapel) preached both morning and evening to very fair congregations. In the after- noon the rev. gentleman and others addressed the Sunday School children of the English Nonconformist churches of the town.—On Monday evening a chil- dren's entertainment, including a cantata, "The White Garland," was performed, Mr Thomas Thomas, .T.P.. Well field, in. the chair. The place was crowded, and the performance was very good. BABELL CIIAPEL, PENSARN.-The annual meetings in connection with the Babell C.M, Chapel were he!d on Sundav and Mandav evening last. On Sunday, the Rev T. F. Jones, Goppa, Pontardulais, occupied the pulpit, and delivered impressive seriiions to large congregations. On Monday evening, the above-named rev. gentleman and the Rev M, H. Jones (pastor-tlect of Water-street C.M. Chapel, Carmarthen) occupied the pulpit. There was a very large congregation at this service. PRIORY-STREET C.M. CHAPEL. The first half- yearly meetings in connection with the above chapel were held on Sunday last, when the popular divine, the Rev Phillip Jones, of Llandilo (formerly of Fish- guard), preached excellent discourses at the morning, afternoon, and evening services. There were large at- tendances, more especially in the evening, when the chapel was crowded. The collections were good. The preacher thought it unwise to continue the services on Monday, as was announced, on account of the yearly meetings at the Babell, Pensarn. C.E.T.S.-On Friday, the 27th ult., Mr Eardeley- Wilmot, organising secretary of the Church of England Temperance Society, visited Carmarthen. In the afternoon, Mr Eardeley-Wilmot addressed a large number of clergy in St Peter's vestry-room, when the Ven Archdeacon occupied the chair. The vicar of St David's (Rev T R Walters, M. A..) gave a very lucid address, and remarked that he had been a total abstainer for o"Ter two years, becrfhse he felt that he was then more able to advise others to combat with the terrible sin of intemperance. The Rev Canon Camber Williams also spoke in the same strain.—In the evening, a public meeting was held at the Priory- street schoolroom, when the Lord Bishop of St David's presided.—Mr E Wilmot again delivered a splendid address. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, and counter-attractions in the town, the attendance was very meagre. The vicar of St Peter's (the Ven Archdeacon Evans) said that he intended starting a branch of the C.E.T.S. in St Peter's parish at once.—The Rev D Jenkins, the diocesan secretary of the C.E.T.S., was pleased to report the the temper-' ance cause was progressing in the diocese, 34 new branches having been enrolled during this season.— The usual vote of thanks concluded the meeting. Owixo to great pressure on our space at the Inst moment, some editorial matter and a few items of dis- tiict news,are held over. BURIAL—On Tuesday afternoon, March 31st. the remains of the late Mrs Hannah Thomas, the beloved wife of Mr Thomas Thomas, Southern-terrace, Pensarn, were conveyed to Llangunnor Chmchyard. The Rev J Jenkins, curate of St Peter's, conducted a short service before leaving the house. At the church, the Revs S .Tone, HoD., F Jones, and J Jenkins officiated. The deceased was 59 years of a-e, and is deeply lamented by her bonowing husband and children. R.I.P. bT V.B.

ENGLISH BAPTIST CHAPEL.—In connection with the Pleasant Winter Evenings on Monday, two papers, one in favour, and the othpr against ^"Conscription were read by Mr David King and :lr T Thomas respectively. Both the papers contained excellent arguments, aiid upon a vote being tak,rl, nine voted for each, the Chairman (Rev A F Mills) giving his cistinu' vote against.

TROUT LICENSES.—The total number of trout licen- CF8 issued throughout the Towy Fishery Disti ict up to the end of March is about 1.543, as against 1,194 cor- responding period last year, when the number was far in excess of any previous year. Taking the average number of trout licences issued during the past ten years, the increase this season will work out at some- thing like 50 per cent. These figures speak for them- selves. SALMON FISHING.-Net fishing for salmon com- menced on Wednesday morning last, and during the day Mr W. Evans had on his slab in Queen-street seven splendid sewin. weighing from lllus down to f >nr. The number of salmon rod-licpnces issued at Carmarthen is 42. Now that the rod-fishing has cori.e in, the number will doubtless increase rapidly, as sport promises to be good. BOROUGH POLICE COURT.—Held on Monday, at the Guildhall, before Mr David Williams, Priory- street (in the chair), and Mr J. Lewis, Ar-y- bryn. Temporary Transfer— James Owen applied for a temporary transfer of the Stag's Head Inn, John- street.—The application was granted. Drunk and Disorderly.—&obert Evans, labourer, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the 28th ult.—P.C. W. Davies said that at about five p.m. last Saturdav he saw defendant very drunk and dis- orderly in Water-street. He was cursing and swear- ing. A man was trying to get him away, but he re- fused to go. Witness requested him to go away, but he would not go, and he therefore locked him tip.- Defendant, who pleaded guilty, was fined 2s 6d and costs.

A report was also made on the death of Evan Rees, as recorded in our last issue. Twenty-two tramps had been admitted during the fortnight. The number of inmates now was 100, as comnared with 94 on the corresponding day last year.—The Chairman suggested that when there was an inquest in tbe House, the Master should inform the Clerk.

:¿ — — CILCENNIN. LECTURE.—The last meeting of the first session of the Cilcennin Self-Improvement Society was held on Thursday evening, March 26, at the Cilcennin Board Schoolroom, when Mr J M Howell delivered a lecture by request on Mr Lloyd George. The Rev J T Parry, president of the Society, was in the chair. The room was filled by a very interesting audience. Mr HowelT; began his lecture by congratulating the village and district of Cilcennin upon a flourishing Literary and Debating Society. Mr Lloyd George was the product of such a society as theirs. He nad^ joined one early in life at Portmadoe. He had formed one at Criccieth. He had competed at the local eistedd- fodau just as they did, and had won a prize, he did not know how often, but for certain, once, under Iolo CJaernarfon." As he had recently said of himself he owed nothing to intermediate education or to the colleges. He owed all to the little Bethels of Wales. That was a noble tribute at his time of day and at our time of day. That society would teach them to love books and literary form and expression, which were spiritual and imperishable delights. Mr Llojd George had read Rollins's Ancient History, Ruskin, Macautay, and Cailyle when he was 15 years old, and caught the passion of them. The last three had evidently taught him the directness of speech and the clearness of diction which he possessed. They had also taught him to believe deeply and to act fearlessly. Mr Howell gave a minute biographical sketch of his hero, and made the following among other comments:— Latterly Mr Lloyd George had given unmis^akeable proofs that he could construct as well as destroy. He had gipped the Welsh County Councils into one bundle of sticks which it would be difficult to break, in the matter of administering the Education Act, 1902. He had piped to them, and Church and State magnates were gathering together to listen and con- suit. The Bishops were "almost persuaded." If he succeeded in establishing a Concordat, lie would have done what only Parnell had done in Ireland. He would have united a people whose intellectual and religious scruples were many, and whose leaders, for their res- pective operations were legion. If he failed, his partial success would ever be a miraculous feat and a tangible record of his administrative capacity and influence.— Mr John Jones, Tyrbach, moved a vote of thanks to the lectiirer, which was seconded by Mr W Rees, and supported by Mr Davies (C.M.), Mr John Evans Smith, and Mr Thomas Jones, postmaster.—Mr Howell ac- knowledged, and proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was accorded by acclamaticn.

CARMARTHENSHIRE'S DEATH ROLL. PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO THE COUNTY HEROES. THE FUND HEARINC tlOO. Some few weeks ago we ventured to appeal to the public of Carmarthenshire, through the medium of a shilling fund, for money to erect a memorial which would perpetuate the menwry of a band of young heroes who lost their lives while defending their country during one of the gravest crisis which this island has ever known. At first we did not know that the county's death roll was so large as it is, not having the means of at once collecting the names of all Carmarthenshire men who died on the veldt. Owing, however, to the courtesy of a number of correspondents we have now got what is probably an almost complete list of the Fallen Heroes of Carmar- thenshire. Their names are given below, together with a few particulars of the history of each one as far as we have been ab e to gather it. We feel sure the list is one which will strike a patriotic chord in the breasts of all men and women who were born in the good old county of Carmal then, and who are proud of it The part which Carmarthenshire played in the famous struggle for empire which was waged on South African soil must ever be regarded with pride and gratitude by all who can claim the honour of having been born in it or of having been intimately connected with it, and none of the latter can but feel that the honour which has been reflected upon their native county by that momentous war has been heightened by the death roll which is here appended, and that it is their duty to give a trifle towards erect- ing in the county town a monument which will hand down in perpetuity a public record of the sterling breed from which the young manhood of the county springs. As will be seen by the list of subscriptions :which follows, close upon £ 70 has already been received during the few weeks in which the appeal has been before the public, and as there must be a large num- ber of people who have nor. yet subscribed, we take this occasion to emphasise our appeal. Any sums not less than Is will be gratefully received, and should be addressed to the Editor, JOURNAL, Carmarthen," and the envelopes marked Fallen Heroes Fund." All donations will be acknowledged in these columns. 11 THE DEATH ROLL. The following list gives the names of the Fallen Heroes, as far as we nave been able to compile it:— Lieut.

Carmarthen people will remem- I ber him marching through the town some six years ago, when the 21th Regiment passed through there. The news of his death 'caused the deepest mourning throughout the county. Lieut. Morris, Coomb, was the only son of the late Mr Thos Morris, and of Mrs Iorris, Coolllb, and was the heir to the Coomb estates and it is certain that he was too well-known and beloved to need any description. Sapper Harry Baskerville was on the staff of the electic telegraph at Carmarthen, and volunteered for the front. He left behind him a widow and several children, succumbing to enteric. Private Tom Hughes was the grandson of Mrs Anne Harvey, Angel Inn, Carmarthen. He served with the Welsh Regiment and was killed in action at Diiefontein. Private George Jones was the con of Mrs Jones, grocer, Lammas-street, Carmarthen. He was a resrvist in the Welsh Regt, and after going through the whole of the severe lighting with his regiment, being entitled to a medal and six clasps, succumbed to enteric at Watervalonder. Private Charles Davies was a native of Abergwili, where his mother now resides. He was a reservist in the Welsh Regiment, and fell a victim to enteric at Godwan River. Private Dan Jones was a St Peter's Boy, born in Duke's Yard, Priory-street, Cai-mii-then. He served 6 years in India, and was at the relief of Kimberley, 2 Driefontein and Paardeburg. Private T Phillips was the son of the late Mr John Phillips, shoemaker, Carmarthen. He was at the memorable Battle of Colenso with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Private W J Jacobs was the son of Mr and Mrs Jacobs, Middlewav, Whitland. He belonged to the 1st Batt Royal Welsh Fusiliers, ^and went through some of the hottest parts of the campaign, including Colenso. He died of enteric at Ladysmith. Mr Frank Lewes Schaw Protheroe, was a brother of Mr Protheroe-Beynon, Trewern, and cheerfully took a place in the non-commissioned ranks of the Pembrokeshire corps of the Imperial Yeomanry which went to South Africa, Corporal \Y F Jones was the son of the Rev T Jones, rector of Penboyr, and was attached to the gallant boys of Col Plumer's column. He fell at Gaberones on the way to Mafeking, on September 13th, {1900. Private Phillip Davies was the son of Mr W. Davies, Cwmbran-fach, Llansadwrn. He was a very fine young fellow. He enlisted from the Glamorganshire Constabulary into the Grenadier Guards, anu fell at the battle ot Belmont. Trooper Frank Lewis, of Plasygraian, Bethlehem, Llandilo, volunteered at the first call with the Wilt- shire Yeomanry, and after several engagements died of enteric of Harrismith. He was the son of Mr John Lewis, Plasygraian, and was a brave soldier, earning the warm commendation of his superiors. Trooper Tom Parry was in the Middlesex Yeomanry, and was killed at the battle of Tweefontein on Christ- inas Day, 1901. He hailed from Llandovery. Watk'n James died at Vryburg Hospital of a wound received in action while serving with the Scots Rail- way Sharpshooters. He was the son of Thomas and Jane James, Greenfield-place, Llandilo. These are all the particulars we have been able to gather up to the present, but if any names or details have been omitted the Editor will thank anyone who will be kind enough to furnish him with them.

Successful Football Match. FOR THE FALLEN HEROES FUND. [By ULTLANDEE."] A grand benefit match for the purpose of augmenting the Joi KNAL s Fund, as described above, played on Thursday of last wet:'k between the Garrison (Militia) Artillerv and the Town. The result was very gratify- ing, no less than 84 shillings having been forwarded to the JOCRNAL for this deserving cause. The weather t.,wards the afternoon cleared cff. and although there was a cold wind blowing, oq Sol occasionally took a welcome peep to see how the game was progressing. The band was the means of attracting a good many of the fair sex. W- en the teams fielded it was seen that the Town had a hard tussle before them, as the Militia included such prominent players as Sergeant Nesbitc vice-captain uf the Carmarthen team: Ser- geant-Ma.i<>r Oliver Thomas, Dick Thomas (Penygraig), Sergeant T. Williams (Ystrad Stars), Bob Parrv, Cor- poral W. Davies (Ammanford), &c. Captain Koyd. the popular adjutant of the R. A., came in for a splendid re- ception when he started operations. J. Phillips replied to touL-h. A scrum was formed in the centre, and, although the Artillery pack had the best of matters, the Carmarthen backs were put in motion by D. Rees, which enabled O. Olive to romp over with a magnificent try between the posts G. Olive failed to majorise. J. Lewis, for the Artillery, mulled badly on several oc- casions, and when he had a clear course before him he lost the bali. It was obvious to all at this stage that Bob Parry was not up to his usual form. Sergeant Williams was now conspicuous with a good burst, but his pass to Jack Lewis was nicely intercepted by J. Treharne, who cleared all opposition, and ran in with JV splendid try, which wa.s converted. Nothing further was scored in the first half. In the second half Captain John was loudly cheered when he started the second moiety for the Town. The game throughout was very fast and exciting, both sides having very hard lines. Bob Parry's kicks prcved very useful for the Artillery on more than one occasion. Sergeant Williams was now responsible far a very smart piece of work. Re- ceiving in the Town 25 from Sergeant N^sbitt, he doubled through nicely, and when on the line trans- ferred to Jack Lewis, who scored an unconverted try. Try as they would, the Militia could not penetrate tiie Carmarthen defence, and the wliiftle blew, leaving the Town victorious by eight points to three. A keener game has never been fought on the Morgan Arms field, and it is felt that another match between these teams would be a decided attraction. The. warmest thanks are due to Captain Boyd and Captain James John for the part they took m the affair, and to the former for allowing the band to olay, also to Mr Lucius Thomas for organising work, and last, but not least, to Han'imaster Larkin and his excellent combination if performers for the splendid advertisement they gave the match by playing round the town.

ECONOMY ox THE FARM.—It is undoubtedly true that much of the land in this country is unsuitable for being sown permanently to grass, and where the land is entirely suitable financial and other reasons fre- quently prevent the creation of additional pasture. Hut whatever force there may be in those reasons, they are no answer to the many weighty arguments in favour of laying down land to grass for a brief term of years. Grass foi- t ilioi t term saves the necessity of growing much corn at a loss, enables the tenant farmer to conduct his farm efficiently with reduced capital, and to the landlord it is an economical means of pre- venting deterioration of the land. In selecting the seeds those Grasses and Clovers should be chosen which arrive at perfection in the shortest space of time and yield the most abundant hay crops and the best pastures during the limited period they are to remain down.
