Also on the churn the name ot the' vendor was stamped. Mr.Wop maintained ihat that, coupled with the label and the verbal t-.ontract, was sufficient to entitle him to set up a >V Defendant admitted having sold the milk, but understood that he had a warranty from the ven- dors. At the time of selling he did not know that the milk was devcient in quality or substance. Inspector Jones contended there was not a war- ranty owing to the omission of vendor s name on the label, and the warranty should be a warranty by itself and not propped up by aoy contract. The Bench imposed a fine of Ss. and costs. ALLEGED THEFT OF AN UMBRELLA. William Jones, lodging at Arorfa, was charged with having on the 14th ml February stolen an umbrella, value 15s., the property of Wm. Edwards, Greenfield, from the Hendre Oalvinistic Methodist Chapel. f Mr. J. W. Bishop appeared for the defence. William Edwards said he was weeect at tihe^ lien- dre Chapel on the evening of Sunday, February I3th, and left his umbrella in tho lobby on onter- t jng inside. When coming out of chapel at a^aut uuirter-pasr, seven the umbrella was missing, fart of the umbrella, which was found in Penygroee- road, was produced, the handle be-ing missing. to Cross-examined—Witness said he knew the um- brella (produced) as being his own, because one day he had ripped it, and had to requisition the services Mr.^Bishop (inspecting the rip) This doesn t do much credit to the tailor. The Clerk—Nor to the umbrella (renewed laugh- UMr. Bishop—What is its value.-Fifteen shillings. What was it worth after it was ripped —1 am not 'L Ywi are tho person who ha« got to fix tho value. YOlL don't consider it worth as much as 15. to-,day ofciuS1 in the lobby there are other umbrellas .about? —Oh. yes, a good many. The other umbrellas might have been toin Yes. Is it by the handle then that you know it Yes, I know it by the handle, but I know that is the umbrella by the rip. William Thomas, Bryntcg, Hendre, said he ^as pndent in the chapel that evening, and wus sitting •n the back seat near the lobby. At about a quar- ter to seven he rose to sing a. hymn with the- oon- ■'relation, and happened to look through the window between the lobby and the body of the chapel when uo saw defendant- peeping in. He knew him at a 'lanc-e Then he saw him half-opening the door and reaching towards the left-hand tide where the um. brella was. Witness went out to the door and i-ked him what he was doing there. Defendant did not answer. On asking him why he did not ,ome inside said ihat.he had only come m to -belter from the rain. Witness noticed in his hand an umbrella which was gold-mounted on the iront and had a gold ferrule on the ettek. lie could not ,;('0 the whole of the handle as it was concealed by defendant's hand. Defendant then went out. with the umbrella., and witness returned to the chn^el, ynd later on told Thomas Thomas, who was fitting next to him, of what he had seen. At th.; end of jhe servic*1 lu1 made a statement to William Kd- wardV about the urpbrella. On the following day he saw defendant at the Kmlyn Colliery, and told him it would be better for him to hrlng back the umbrella which he had taken from Hendre Chapel the previous night. Defendant denied taking one. Witness also added that whrrn he saw defendant in the lobby his susnieion was arounsed because of I he niiiiiner he entered—with a cap eonceahmr part ot his Cross-examiiM'd—You had been in the chapel since about six?—Yes, sir. Busy praying, I suppose, and singing: What el-e are we supposed to do thoi'e r Sitting down?—Not when I Sii-w ooforiciant.

Don't you tnink tnat it is very likely that; lie was just as devout as you were, and wanted to hear the preactief.i can't say. Continuing, witness said he went. out of the chapel because ot tne subp-c^ous manner defendant came into the loboy. vvnness had never beioie seen Edwards' umbrella, 'lhough defendant told witness that he came in there lor snelter, it was not raining when witness went outside. After their conversation witness went iusiue, and defendant left. with tne umbreila. Mr. Bishop-li you saw him reaching for the um- brella, anu talons HOW of it, why did you lot him go away witn it tilttl:-It was not my business. Do you mean to say that you allow a person to put his hand deliberately inside the lobby door and take away an umoielia without stopping him —I say it was not my business to interfere. Did you believe ne nad stolen it at the time?— Who else did? Did you oeneve tnat at. the time?—Yes. Then why oia you let him take it away?—It was not my umbrella. You saw iii.ii taking the umbrella'—I saw him reaching towards it. Then you aiiowtu him to go away with it?—I told him in tne woms on Monday morning. Thomas i'uoinas, Uwynta, Penygroes, gavo corro- borative eviuuiice. t 5 Defendant, on bciug charged, pleaded "Not guiLy." Mr. jbibuO|j, tot uie detence, said they made a complete denial lO tne charge. Defendant on his oath woulu say tnat no went into the lobby, but never saw tne umbrella, never touched an umbrella, and tne umbieiia never since had been found upon him or any trace wnatsoever. Defendant was a young man, nving at Loughor, some ten miles away from Penygioes, wnere he was lodging tor his work. He hau been home on the Saturday and was returning on the Sunday, apparently to work on Monday morning, being employed at the Emlyn pit. Cniortunaieiy, not beirfg a strong young man, and having walked a "distance of ten miles when be got to tne ciiapel, he felt very tired. He had a pack of clothes on nis back and a walking stick in his hand. f)0 he went into the lobby with the object of resting, and possibly of cursory hearing whoever was preaching there. Having arrived at 6.45 instead oi at the conventional hour of six, de- fendant suit did not deny the benefit of whatevor teaching that mignt come his way. Mr. Bishop, continuing, drew tne magistrates' attention to the fact that if the witness (W. Thomas) had seen the defendant take the umbN;, why did he not tackle him then? Defendant bore out his solicitor's statement, and said that when he got to the lobby William Thomas came out and asked him, "What is your business here?" Deiendant informed him that. he came there with ine object of having a rest, but Thomas said, "In or out., and defendant went out, whilst Thomas closed the door after him. James uones (.father of defendant) deposed to having seen his son arriving home that night with- out a strange umbrella. The Bench, aKer a consultation, said there were very grave doubts, and the case would be dismissed. THEFT OF 10s. George Pike, fishmonger. The Stores, Garnant, was charged with having feloniously stolen the sum of 10s. on tne i«.th inst., from Ivor Jones, Stepney Hill. Garnant, at the Colliers' Arms. Ivor Jones said ne was at the Colliers' Arms on the morning of the 12th inst., and had in his posses- sion 15s., consisting of half-a-sovereign, two florins, and a shilling. He ordered a pint of beer, and re- ceived in change a sixpenny piece and three pennies. Pike was there, and came to witness and asked "Are you fixed for a drink:" Witness replied, "Yes, it's all right, George. r owe you 4d. for fish, and hero's 7d. (a sixpenny piece and a penny) for you to pay tho debt and for a pint." Witness did not look at. the coins when handing them to Pike, be- cause he did not like to show anyone that. he was giving him anything. Witness, on going to pay his account with the landlady, found that the half- sovereign was missing. He directly went to Pike and asked him what coin he had given him just then, Defendant replied, "A tanner." Witness asked to see it, but defendant refused, saying ho had spent it. Defendant also refused to show witness what he had in his pocket. Joseph Ferrel deposed to being at the Colliers' Arniz, on the same morning, and to having seen Pike going over to Ivor Jones asking for a drink. Witness was then standing close to Pike, and saw Ivor Jones taking out of his nocket a half-sovereign, which he handed to Pike. He saw the half-sovereign quite plainly: it was almost a new one. Catherine Davies. landlady of the Colliers' Arms, said that when Ivor Jones went for the police she closely watched defendant, who she saw taking some- thing out. of his pocket and putting it in his waist- coat pocket. She was certain that defendant did not spend a penny there that morning. ln P.C. Tudor said that in consequence of informa- tion received from Ivor Jcoes lie went to the Anns, and there saw the defendant. He asked him if he had the half-sovereign in his posses- sion.. He replied, "No, I have got no money upon me." Witness told him he was going to make a search. Defendant then placed his hand in his waistcoat pocket and said. "I have got a half- sovereign of my own." Asked where he had it from, defendant replied that it was in payment for fish. Defendant pleaded "-Not guilty," and said it. was more like a joke and a freak than anything else. The Clerk: Do you say you were drunk?—We were (ill drunk, sir, to tell you the truth. The Bench fined defendant £ 2 including costs.

CARMARTHEN ROADS AND THE NEED FOR MORE RAILWAYS. To the Editor of THE JOCRXAX. Sir,—In a recent report on the great damage done to the roads in Carmarthenshire, it is stared that the increased cost of trying to maintain our roads in a fair condition- for the heavy traction and motor services would amount to nearly a penny rate. Our roads are continually crowded with very heavy traffic, too heavy for roads, and which is clearly the work for railways. More railways are necessary, and the existing railways should be extended and com- pelled to do much more work. The Mynydd Mawr Railway does not run passenger trains, and tho Gwendraeth Valley Railway runs passengers, over only part of their railway system. Again there is clearly the necessity for a new railway from Llan- arthney to Pontardulais, which would relievo the present deplorable condition of the traffic, and the condition of the roads in these rapidly-increasing mining districts. The above condition of affairs is, undoubtedly, a case for immediate representation te the Board of Trade and the Light Railway Com- missioners.—I am, etc., A RESIDENT OF CWMMAWIJ.

WANTED-A SON. To the Editor of THE J ocnx AI.. ir,-I shall be grateful for your help under the following circumstances:—An aged man, named Peach, has lately been led to reform his way, after a long career of adventure into which it is not need- ful to enter. In his old age. and with failing health (although in such respectability as honest industry can command) he is very anxious to come once again into communication with his son, who will now lie a young man, and whose name is William Peach. Inquiries which we have made at the school (rwar Leicester where this young William Peach was edu- cated, have brought the news that he is ''working in a coal-mine near Carmarthen." If your kind readers could oblige me with any news of a William Peach working in such a mine I should be grateful, and they would have the satisfaction of encourag- ing a worthy man in a right parental interest to- wards his son. With apologies for intruding upon your space from such a distance.—I am, yours truly. (Mus.) ANNIE E. HARDINO. 33, Stroud Green Road, London, N. 247, Chamber of Commerce. Winnipeg, Man. March 3rd, 1910. To the Editor of THE Jot MXAL. Sir,—At a meeting here of the St. David's Society, it was unanimously carried that the secre- tary should write to the Welsh papers in Wales to notify them that there .is a Welsh Society meeting every two weeks in the Railwaymen's lIall, Main- street, Winnipeg. There being many Welsh people coming to this city who are not aware of the St. David's Society located here. On behalf of the St. David' Society.—I remain, yours truly, URIFF JOXES. Secretary.

LLANDILO EVENTS OF THK WKKK.—Up to the time d going to press there has been nothing very stii-ring at Llandilo. True, 12 candidates were nominaleil lor the five seats on the Council, bur the interest of former years was nowhere manifest. The iiiiti(-ii).itio.I that there would, as usual, be withdrawals, doubt- less accounted for this. HWTII MISSION.—Tho Rev. L. Tom Kvans, chief of th Rapti-:t Mission at Hayt-ii, spoke on its be- half at the Baptist. Chapel on Monday evening. lie was accompanied by a native lady who gave songs, etc.. in the language of the island. TE\I p :RA XCE MKKTIN'O.-Tio weekh temperance meeting was held at the Public HaH on Saturday evening, under the presidency of Mr. J. T. Ed- wanhl. headmaster of the Council School. The pro- gramme, which as usual w-,a, well arranged, con- sisted or solos, duetts, recitations, and dialogues, was got up by Capel Newydd Congregational Church,

AMMANFORD AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOL MANAGERS.—The follow- ing appeared in last week'a issue of "John Bull":— "Tho Amman (Welsh) school managers have spent a great deal of liine in bewailing that they Gon t know what their dut.es are, and their calls at the la.st meeting for a printed list of them were quite pathetic, In order to simplify their difficulites, we take this opportunity of saying that the duties of the Amman School managers are to manage schools, but if they have any doubts on the subject thqy had better instruct their olerk to solicit instruction from the Board of Education, and then to interpret them for their edification." PRESENTATION.—On Wednesday week a "smoker" was held at the Dynevor Arms Hotel, Pantyffynnon, and during the course of the evening Mr. Alfred Lawley, Mill-terrace, was presented by his fellow- workmen and friends with a purse of gold and a gold medal on the occasion of his departure for Canada. The chairman was Mr. W. Williams, Car- donnel-terrace, and the presentation was made in a few well-chosen remarKs by Mr. J. Bevan, rarli- terrace. Mr. Lawley suitably replied. Several songs were rendered, and Mr. Tom Thomas, Am- songs were rendered, and Mr. Tom Thomas, Am- manford, made an efficient accompanist. DEATH AND FUNERAL. With deep regret we have to announce the death of Mary Anne, eldest daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Jones, 21, Margaret- street, Ammanford, which sad event took place on Friday, the 18th inst., at the age of 18 years. De- ceased had boon ailing for a considerable time, and succumbed at last to that dread disease—consump- tion. This creates the second death in the family within the last throe months. The deceased, who bore her illness with true Christian fortitude, was a zealous member of the cause at Bethany (M.C.) Chapei. The deepest sympathy is felt with the bereaved parents and relatives in their sad bereave- ment. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on the following Monday, the place of interment being Bethany burial-ground. The Revs. Nantlais Williams (pastor), Evan Davies, Bettws, and Mr. R. Roberta, evangelist, Swansea, were the officiating ministers. The chief mourners were:— Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Jones (parents); Lizzie Jane and Ol\V(¡ln Dilys Jones (sisters); Maelen David John Jones (brother); Mr. Alfred Jones, Wind- street, Ammanford (uncle); Misses Mary and Claudia Jones, Wind-street, Ammanford (aunts); Mr. John Rees, Pontardawe (uncie); and Mr. Morgan John Rees, Pontardawe (cousin). Wreaths were sent by the following:—The members of the deoeased's Sunday School class; Mrs. M. J. Jones, 35, Mar- garot-street, Ammanford; Mrs. Jones, Cwmltyn- fell; Mrs. 1. Jones, 27, Margaret-street, Amman- ford Mrs. Davies, Margaret-street, Ammanford; and Miss Lizzie Evans, Penybank. Mr. Rees Jones, cabinet-maker, Quay-street., Ammanford, carried out tho funeral arrangements. HOCKEY.-On Thursday week, at the Tirydail Ground, Ammanford, tho Ammanford Thursday team played Briton Ferry. The gamo proved to be the best of the season. Through the efforts of T. Joshua, the homesters' captain (I. M. Davies) scored a goai. For Ammanford the captain, T. Joshua, W. J. Thomas, W. Rees, and Harold Jones were very conspicuous throughout the game, which was very interesting to watch. Ammanford: Goal, Wyndham Davies; backs, G. B. "Jones and W. H Jones; half-backs, J. Morris, W. E. Davies, and Edgar James; forwards, 1. M. Davies (capt.), W. Rees, T. Joshua, W. J. Thomas, and J. Joshua. Umpire, J. Richards; linesman, E. Evans. FOOTBALL.—Ammanford played Amman United on the ground of the former on Saturday in good weather. There was too much forward play to prove intercstmg to tho spectator. Had the home backs handled the ball oftoner, they would un- doubtedly have crossed over several times. George Rees (capt.), scored a very pretty try for Amman- ford, but it was not converted. At the call of time the score was:-Aini-nanford, 1 try 13 points); Am- man United, nil. Ammanford: Full-back, Fred Jen- kins; three-quarters, George Rees, Trevor Williams, W. Colley, and D. Morgans; half-backs, Morgan Rees and Ike Evans; forwards, George Rees (capt.), E. Bevan, Tom Thomas, J. Fisher, G. Davies, W. J. Thomas, Barret?, and W. Francis. Referee, Mr. Morgan Thomas, Llandilo. YOUNG/PEOPLE'S SOCIETY.—The usual weekly meet- ing in connection with the Chritian Temple Society on Wednesday week took the form of a. miscel- laneous concert. Songs, etc., were given by the members, and altogether a most enjoyable evening was spent. GWYNFRYN CHAPEL.-On Sunday and Monday preaching services were held at this chapel, when the special preachers engaged for the occasion were the Revs. Principal T. Lewis, M.A., B.D., and H. Elvet Lewis, M.A., King's Cross, London. The sacred edifice was crowded throughout all the ser- vices, and the eloquent sermons were listened to with rapt attention. Collections towards the chapcl funds were made at the close of each service.

LAMPETER BIBLE SOCIETY.—The Rev. J. Prys, of Llanover, paid a visit, hero on Friday last on behalf of the Bible Society, and addressed a public meeting at the Memorial Hall. The Rev. Canon Camber Wil- Jiams presided. The attendance, was a meagre one. The Rev. T. Ll. Roderick, the local .secretary, gave a statement of account of the receipts and pay- ments of the local branch for the past year, which was adopted. Death's ministry has been very conspicuous in the town and neighbourhood of late. To the long list of deaths already published we have to add two more, namely, Mr. Evan Jones, Felinfoel, Barley Mow, at the R'TO of 79, and Mr. John Abel, of Bryncarfan, Bridge-Street, woollen weaver, at tho age of 66. Both were members of Soar Chapel, the latter having been a deacon there for a,iiiiml)er of years. The funeral of Mr. Evan Jones took place on Monday last at the parish church, Ijampeter, and that of Mr. Abel at Llanfairclydogau parish church- BUTTER FAMINE.—Many complaints are Ulado that no fresh butter is available at Lampeter, and fitunili-es have been distressed at havinr to purchase some foreign stuff. Although Lampeter is tho centre of an agricultural district, it is deplorable to find that. most of the butter and eggs from the im- mediate neighbourhood are sent away to various parts of England and Wale,* so that Lampeter is left severely alone. A visit to the railway station will prove this. During the week collectors can be seeu driving from one farm to another in their en- deavour to secure all the available butter and eggs, so that very little finds its way here. How to re- medy this state of affairs is u. problem which the Town Council ought to take into consideration. Lampeter markets and fairs have dwindled consider- ably, and undoubtedly the custom of dealers visit ing farms in earch of cattle, horses, pigs, poultry, I:atli4 produce, etc., has something to do with this decadence. If this is Free Trade, then some reform, tariff or any other reform, is urgently needed, or the town will- sink into the status of an ordinary village through sheer neglect. PETTY SESSIONS.—Friday, before Mr. A. R. T. Jones (in the chair), Ald. W. F. Llovd (mayor), and Mr. D. Robert Jones. Food and Drugs Act. John Davies, dairyman, Lampeter, wad charged by D.C.C. Williams, inspec- tor, under the Foods and Drugs Act, with having sold milk to P.S. Thomas Thomas, which was al- leged to have been adulterated with water.—PS. Thomas proved buying the milk and sending it to the public analyst, -Cross-examined: Defendant's wife said she was afraid it was poor milk. Rho asked him to take a sample from the person sho had it from. but he could not do that.—D.C. C. Williams produced the public analyst's certificate, which showed the milk deficient in milk fat and milk solids. The defendant said the milk was in the same condition its he had it from Brongest, and if a sample had been taken from there it would 00 the best witness for him that day.—It was pointed out that he should have had a guarantee.—Defendant was fined JC1 including costs. Maintenance.—Thomas Ll. Evans, relieving officer, summoned Richard Davies, of Llanfairclydogau, with having neglected to comply with an Order to contribute towards the maintenance of his mother. There was the sum of J65 18s. due. Mr. J. Ernest Lloyd appeared for the guardians. Judgment was given against him payable forthwith. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday morning in last week, about 11 o'clock. Mrs. Jones, Bwlchnowydd, Lampeter, was seized with a. sudden illness while out in the garden, and died in a few minutes after entering tho house. Mrs. Jones, who was 60 years of age, was well-known and respected in the neigh- bourhood. She leaves two daughters and three sons to mourn her loss: one. of the latter is the. well- known Welsh International full-back, the Rev. J. Strand Jones, who at present is chaplain of His Jajety's forces at Lahore, India. The funeral took .place on Tuesday. FOOTBALL.—On Wednesday last at Carmarthen the College School played their last football match this season, when they met the Swansea Grammar School. The game ended in a draw, both sides scor- ing it try. For the .School, Christopher .scored. Mr. George Gravelle refereed. PAROCHIAL CHURCH COTTNCII,.—In accordance with the decision of the Diooesan Conference, a Parochial Cnureli Council is to be electod for this parish, and to consist of 31 members as follows :-The clergy, 3: churchwardens (including Maestir and Pentrebach). 4: representatives of Sunday Schools, 4- do. of parish h church choir, 2; elected members, 18, of whom 6 si. 11 be women.

LLANYBRI PARISH MEETING.—The triennial apnoilltmcllt of parish councillors for Ward II. of the parish of Llanstephan was held on the 14th inst. MR. Henry Jones (clerk of the Parish Council) Resided. There vvrre two electors present, and the following were nominated as councillors for the next three years:— .John Davies, Dvffrvn-tawel Factory Evaft Edwards. Pentrewyn; David Evans, Pentcwyn; William Howells, Lan-martin; John Protherw, Broadlay; William Thomas, Cwmclyd; E. J. S. Williams, C'vrt- inawr.-Ilio annual assembly of the parish meeting is announced for next Monday evening at Llanybri. to read and sign minutes of last meeting.

LLANDOVERY THE BOROUGH BOUNDABY.—A good deal of interest is centered at the moment in the committee, which. on the initiative of Mr. S. H. Price, has been ap- pointed to go into the question of the defining of the borough boundary. What the duties of the oorccnittoe and how far their terms of reference go is not yet clear. Appointed a month ago they have not yet met—at any rate they had not when the last meeting of the Town Council was held. There is an opinion shared by a large body of the burgesses that the time has arrived when the question of ex- tending the existing boundary should be seriously tackled. It goes without saying that the matter is one that is hedged in with difficulties and is likely tcA bo strenuously opposed by those who would be brought into the extended borough area. We must, be prepared to meet the old bogey freely trotted out in the past-"the expense, gentlctmen." PETTY SESSIONS.—Friday was Petty Sessional Day, but as there were ,110 cases down for hearing there was ,of course, no sitting of the magistrates. Happy state! May it long continue. ENTERTAINMENT AT THE WORKHOUSE.—On Friday evening the members of the Salem (Cong.) Mutual Improvement Society gave an entertainment at the Workhouse. Mr. W. Thomas, monumental mason. Water-street, presided. Songs were contributed by JMisses Gwfenny Rees, Flossie Roderick, Maggio Rees ("Pwy fel fy mam"), Blodwen Williams, Mary Williams, Mr. John Jones, Victoria-street, and Mr. Saunders Morgan. Recitations, Mr. W. Ll. Wil- liams. Miss Mary Williams; duett, Misses May and Mary Williams; quartettes. Mr. Lloyd Williams and party; chorus, Children's Party, "Dydd Coroni." ELECTION MEMos.-AIdermiln T. Watk'ns, the de- puty mayor, has been a member of the Board of Guardians for 26 years. He is chairman and one of the most regular attendants. Other useful members are Councillors Richard Thomas and T. Phillips. Each takes the keenest interest in the work of the Board.—Mr. Thomas Williams, Cwmllynfe, Llan- sadwrn, can boast that between his father and himself, they hold an unbroken record of 50 year? on the Llandovery Board of Guardians. The late Mr. Williams became a member in 1860, and so re- mained till 1893, when he was succeeded by his son. Mr. Rees Lewis, BrownhlI, became the other mem- ber for the parish in the last-named year.—Mr. Evan Davies, Dugoidydd, who is still hale and hearty, ami eeeks re-election, has been a member for 35 'years. He also has done some good, if silent, work on the Board. A VETERAN PREACHER. Tho Rov. Dr. T. E. Thomas, Bailyglas, who has been thQ resident Caj- vinistio Methodist minister at Llandovery for 45 years, celebrated his 74th birthday last. Sunday. He is a native of tho Carmarthen district, and previous to taking seriously to the pulpit was a schoolmaster. He has toured in America, and his many racy stories to say of his experiences in the land of the star-spangled banner. A lecture, which he de- livered on his tour in the States years ago, was very popuiar. As a practical Christian, he has d.splay^.1 his worth by the number of .situtaions he has suc- ceeded in finding for young lads and youths long before Labour Bureax were thought of. May he enjoy many happy returns of the day. POST OFFICE CONCERT.—On Thursday evening a crowded concert, the local arrangements in connec- tion with which were very ably carried out by Mr. Evana, the postmaster, was held at the Drill Hall. the proceeds from which are to go in aid of the Rowland Hill Benevolent Fund. In the unavoidable absence of the Mayor, Alderman T. Watkins (de- puty-mayor) presided. He said lie had been called upon on very short notice to occupy this position in consequence of the Mayor being unavoidably ab- sent. He was quite sure had it been possible, the Major would have been present, for they all knew how ready and anxious he was to support every worthy cause (applause). He saw from the pro- gramme that the proceeds of this entertainment were to go towards the Rowland Hill Benevolent Fund. Had he (the speaker) a voice in the matter he would certainly have named it "The Roberts and Rowlands Fund," and for this reason: Before the penny postage was introduced, Mr. Samuel Roberts, of Llanbrynmair, had identified himself immensely in this direction (applause). He was a gentleman who was foremost in every good work. labouring incessantly by tongue, by pen, and by purse, to promote the material, the moral, and spiritual prosperity of the country. He wrote volumes upon this question between the years 1830 and 1836 when he succeeded in getting Parliament, to appoint a commission to enquire into the postal arrangements. At this period the transmission of a letter from Wales to London cost one shilling, and a- nûnrn. and from Wales to America 2s. 6d., and C, it -was on record that on many an occasion the re- quired sum was paid by Mr. Roberts so that a poor mother might hear from her son across the sea The Comrnissione mentioned issued their report re- I commending the -ennv postage. Then, and not till then, Sir Rowland Hill interesfed himself in the matter and saw it carried through. He (Alderman Watkins) therefore !<)onsicteped that, it was only common justice to the good man of Llanbrynmair, who died in the year 1885. that his name should be associated with this great reform (applause). In conclusion, he said he hoped the day was not fas- distant, when the post office employees would be more adequately paid and Sunday serVico done away with. The first part of the programme consisted of a lime-light lecture embracing over 100 slides, show- ing the romance, adventure, wit and wisdom, pathos, etc., associated with the post office. The advance matlo in postal arrangements, particularly during tho latter half of the last century, aríd up to the present time, where strikingly shown in contrast with those of the days of the old mail coaches, and even briar to that tieriod. The slides were ex- hibited by Mr. Eustace Good, whilst a most. compe- tent reader was found in Mr. David Davies. of the Llandovery (British) Council School. At the close, oh .the motion of Mr. Evans, postmaster, seconded by Alderman D. Saunders Thomas, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the deputy-mayor for presiding, and also for his very interesting address; to Mr. David Davies for acting as reader, to the artistes who. took part, and to the general public for the splendid support they had given the object in view. —Responding,' the Chairman said he hoped that the day was not far distant when they would have another opportunity of enjoying so interesting, in- J( I structive and edifying an entertainment. The second part consisted of: Pianoforte duett. "Pearl of the Sea," the Misses Deans, Granta Cottege: solo, "Dear Heart," Mis. Annie Davies (Dunvant): duett, "Sunshine and Shadow," Misses M. Rees and C. Jones: violin solo. "Shepherd's Dance," Mrs. A Id ridge; solo, "The Eternal City," Mr. W. Jones: quartette, "The Sea hath Its pearls," Misses Maggie Roes and Catherine Jones and Messrs. W. and J. C. Jones. Mr. R. W. Clarke. who was accorded a splendid reception, gave a series of humorous selec- tions to all of which he had to respond in response to loudlv demanded encores. Solo. "Yr Eos," Miss Annie Davies (Dunvant): solo, "Thora," Mr. J. C. Jones. A-, finish to the programme, previous to the rendering of "God save the King," the solo in connection with which was taken by Miss Maggie Rees, the Male Voice Choir, under the conductor- ship of Mr. W. Jones, Rhosybedw, gave a splendid rendering of "Dewrion Feibion Gwalia." The per- formances of all the artistes were of a. high order, but we regret that that inexorable master, the ques- tion of snaoe. precludes us from dealing with their individual merits.

TOWN COUNCIL.—At the njonthly meeting cf thi, Kidwelly Corporation held on Friday evening of lasi week, the Mayor (Councillor W. D. James) in t..h chair, Councillor S. H. Anthony, tho defeated candi- date at the recent County Council election brought, forward several charges against Councillor A. Stephens, the successful candidate, based upon tho latter's address, Mr. Anthony contending first o! all that the taking over of the main roads by tho < ounty Council was claimed by Mr. Stephens to be a. gain to the borough. Previous to the County Council taking them over they contributed 260 a year to Kidwelly towards their repair. He also said Mr. Stephens had charged the Town Council with acting in an unbusinesslike manner over the negotia- tions with the County Council re the taking over of the bridge, and the statement. that he (Mr. An- thony) wanted to offer JMOO. This was wrong, saki lie, and unsportsmanlike. Mr. Anthony said that business of the County Council was carried on quite in as businesslike a manner as any council in Eng. land or Wales.—Mr. Stephens in his reply agreed that then- were splendid business men Oil the Coun- cil. He proved conclusively that the borough hxi effected a very great saving by having the main roads taken over, and he denied that he in any way charged the Kidwelly Town Council with acting in an unbusinesslike way. He only said ho though., that they should once more try and get the Counts Council to take over the bridge free, and he !"lIv:J appealed to Mr. Anthony, who was then tho ber, to have another try at it.—Several other mem- bers essayed to spenk on the question, but the Mayor ruled,the matter out of order, and it concluded.—The usual routine business was also carried out by the Council. AN interesting ceremony was witnessed at- Si. Mary s Parish Church on Sunday evening during the service. The Vicar formally and solemnly h] vested tJw members of the newly-formed branch o* the C.E.M.S. with their certificates and badgfv'k.
