Llys Awen, Gwynfa, RIIYL. DEAR SiBr-Some time ago I was greatly troubled with Bile and Indi- gestion, and was advised to make a trial of your renowned preparations, viz., GWILYM EVANS'QUININE BITTERS and DIGESTIVE PEARIIB; and it is with much pleasure I testify to the great benefit 1 have received from RECEIVED their use. I have taken several 4s. 6d. bottles of the BITTERS, and am resolved to keep a bottle always at GREAT hand, and take a daily dose an hour before breakfast, for it has not only banished the headaches I frequently BENEFIT. suffered from, and neuralgia and rheumatic pains and other ailments which often troubled me are gone for ever, I hope, but I can also add it has been effectual in removing the Bile and Indigestion. I find that it has improved my appetite, purified the blood, and enlivened my spirits. I have recommonded it to several others, who now highly praise it as an effectual remedy for different ailments. I remain, Sir, Yours gratefully, JAMES DAVIES, (lago Tegeing), House and Estate Agent. GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS. THE VEGETABLE TONIC. TESTIMONIAL. Rheno Bach, Llangeiuwen, ANGLESEY.

DEATH OF Mas EDWARDS.—We regret to record the death of Mrs Margaret Edwards, widow of the late Mr William Edwards, tailor, of Love-lane, Denbigh, at the age of 70 years. Mrs Edwards passed away on Tuesday, Decem- ber 6th, at her residence in Love-lane. She has not long survived her eldest son, Mr Wm Edwards, who passed away some time ago. Her death is deeply felt by her relatives and friends, and she will be much mssed. The funeral took place on Saturday at Whitohurch. TEMPERANCE MEETING AT THE NATIONAL SCHOOL8.—A meeting was held last night (Thursday), when Capt Griffiths, of the Cnurch Army, Colwyn Bay, addressed the meeting in a most earnest manner. The programme was very enjoyable. The ladies and gentlemen vfhc gfl.ve Home very good vocal were all encored, namely. Y ddau gwlad garwr," Messrs Hughes and Daniels; Simon the Cellarer" and "The brave old aak," Mr Dcwnicg: Yn DyfFryn Clwyd," aifo "The Millar's Williams, Pwy sydd eisiau and Papur I\ewydd, Mr Daniels, Love-lane. NEW BANDMASTER.—Mr C M Humphreys, the Asylum, has been unanimously elected bandmaster of the 1st V.B.R.W. Fusiliers, in succession to Mr Robert Jones, who has resigned after many years valuable service. Mr J Jones, the Castle, has been elected deputy bandmaster. These appointments have been approved of by the commanding officer, Capt Watkin Davies. Mr C M Humphreys is a born musician, and is able to play quite a variety of instruments. He is also bandmaster at the Asylum, and we are sure under his guidance the Volunteer band will flourish and improve. They will, no doubt, be able to give us some seasonable and lively pieces for the coming festive season. THE CHRISTMAS HOLIrlyS.-The Mayor's I attention having been called to the fact that on previous occasions, when Christmas Day fell on a Sunday, the Denbigh tradesmen closed their places of business from Saturdav night until the following Wednesday morning. His Worship respectfully suggests that the same course be adopted this year, and that Monday and Tuesday, December 26th and 27th, be observed as a General Holiday. His Worship is of opinion that the carrying out of this arrangement would confer an inestimable boon on all employees whose homes are at a distance, and would be an incentive to them to double their efforts, with renewed vigour, on behalf of their employers upon their return. CHRISTMAS WORK AT THE POST OFFICE.— During the coming week there will be great pressure of work at the Post Office, and the public will not only confer a favour uI;ùn the officials by posting early, but they will study their own convenience by making sure that their communications reach their destination through being posted early. This also should be borne in mind that Christmas Day falls on Sunday, so that Sunday regulations come in. There will be special despatches on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. On Friday and Saturday, the 23rd and 21th, the letter box will be closed at 7 pm. instead of 7.30 p m., and for extra stamps at 7.15 p.m. As the work increases each year, it is hoped the public will assist the officials by posting early, egpeciali)- in the case of Christmas cards, presents and parcels. This is all the more necessary this year as Christmas Day fells on Sunday. THE CHIMPIOIR BEAST.—On Tuesday, at Messrs Clough <FC Co's sale of fat stock at the Denbigh Smithfield, the champion beast in the cattle class was, after a most spirited bidding, knocked down to our well-known Denbigh butcher, Mr Thomas Davies, Vaie-street, for the sum of .£31. The animal was the property of Mr R Hughes, Henllys, and it reflects great credit upon him as a feeder. THE SWAN CHAMBERS.—The old technical school, over the North and South Wales Bank, has undergone a great transformation. For some time past the place was filled with car- penters. plumbers, painters and other work- men, all busy with their various duties. The old place has been done up in grand style, and an excellent suite of offices made, the same being now occupied by Mr Foulkes Roberts, solicitor. On TUESDAY A of the County School Governors was held in the new Boardroom, at the invitation of the clerk, Mr A Foulkes Roberts, and he was highly com- plimented upon providing such an excellent room for the purpose, and it was decided in future all the meetings of the governors be held there, as it would be very convenient, the books and other doouments relating to the school being kept there ready at hand. The Boardroom is made after the same plan as the Council Chamber, and well adapted for the hold- ing of such meetings as those of the governors. «

DENBIGH INFIRMARY BALL. SUCCESSFUL GATHERING. Last evening (Thursday), the annual ball, in connection with the Denbighshire Infirmary, was held at the Town Hall, and was a thorough success. There was a fairly large gathering. The president was S J Waring, Esq. (Brynmortydd), and the lady patroness, Miss Burton (Gwaenynog). The president gave the handsome donation of forty guineas. The room was exquisitely decorated, and presented a brilliant appear- ance. The beautiful plants, which consider- ably helped to make the room so charming, were kindly lent by Miss Griffith, Plas Pigot. Mr Wheeler, Lore-lane was re- sponsible for the fitting up of the room, which gave every satisfaction having the valuable help of an artistic friend, whose services, on such occasions, are most useful. The floor was in an excellent condition, thanks to the skill of Mr and Mrs Dew. The refreshments were supplied by Mrs Hughes, confectioner, and, as usual, gave entire satisfaction, the tables having been tastefully decorated, and the viand3 pro- vided being of the very best quality, the whole reflecting great credit on the caterer. Mrs Andrews, the Old Vaults, Denbigh, supplied the excellent wines provided. The mineral waters were supplied by Mr R D Hughes, High-street. The secretarial duties were most efficiently carried out by Mr R T Edwards, assistant of the Secretary, who was prevented attending. Very valuable services were also rendered by Mr James Hughes, Cheltenham Villa. The music was supplied by Haselden's String Band, and was thoroughly up-to- date. The ball was opened by the President and Lady Patroness at 10 o'clock, and everything passed off admirably. The follow- ing is the list of those present:— LLEWESOG PARTY.

THE LATE MR. E. T. JONES, J.P., DENBIGH. A few interesting particulars of the early life of Mr E T Jones were omitted from our memoir last week. Mr Jones having been educated at Corwen and then at Bangor Grammar School, was apprenticed at Chester to the old established firm of ironmongers, Messrs Powell, Edwards and Co., Mr Edwards being a freeman of the city. Having served 7 years, Mr Jones' indentures were endorsed, qualifying him for the freedom and the privileges of a freeman of that ancient city. In his very early career at Chester his first public office when a boy was that of secretary to the Juvenile Auxiliary Bible Society, Chester; then lie was secretary of the Welsh Sunday School at Commonhall-street, Chester. Superintendent of the Mission Sunday School in Middle Crown-street, Chester and a similar one in another part of the city he was dele- gate to the Sabbath School meeting in the branches of Wales; he became teacher and Superintendent at the Two Mills Sunday School, in connection with which school he walked over 3000 miles to and fro. It was in 1855 that he left Chester and settled at Denbigh, and his first public duty of a religious nature was as teacher in the Sunday School at the Brookhouse Chapel, then a branch of Capel Mawr School, subsequently holding the position of teacher, secretary, Sunday School superintendent, and deacon at the latter Chapel, until on the establishment of the English cause, he was told off with other brethren to take charge of it. The chief features of his busy and eventful life here we dealt with fully last weok. It may be mentioned that in addition to the family wreaths placed on the coffin, was a very choice wreath sent by the Mayor of Denbigh. A memorial service was held at the English Chapel on Sunday, which was attended by Mrs Jones and the members of the deceased's family. There was a large and sympathetic congregation the hymns and other portions DF the service being rendered with much feel- ing. A very appropriate sermon was preached by the pastor, the Kev Joseph Evans, full of touching references to the religious life and work of the deceased, and giving a resume of his life's work, religious and public, and es- pecially of his close connection with that church and the valuable work he did there.

Mrs. E. T. Jones and family desire to express their sincere thanks to their numerous friends for kind inquiries and sympathy with them in their severe bereave- ment, and trust that they will accept this method of expressing their appreciation of, and gratitude for, their kindness. ?

PAROCHIAL SALE OF WORK. VERY SATISFACTORY RESULT. On Friday last, a Sale of Work, which was organised by Mrs Davies, Rectory, in aid of the National Schools and other Parochial Work needing help, took place in the Church House, and was most successful. It is intended to make this sale an annual one, and from the success which attended the first, we may argue that ..f-,hod will be found a very effectire and popular 'obtaining funds 'or various brar-ches ot paiich .ïk. This year's sale waa got up at rather short notice, and besides was a new thing in the parish. Notwithstanding these draw backs, it did remarkably well, and Mrs Davies and the ladies associated with her, as well as the Rector, are to be congratulated upon the succcus attending their efforts. There was a large and varied collection of saleable goods, kindly given by the ladies of the parish the useful goods, fortunately, very largely preponderating. The stalls were very effectively and yet inexpensively fitted up, and with the goods nicely arranged, made an excellent show, the refreshment stall being extremely attractive, laden xrith the t A"- articles. Here teas and other refreshments were provided, and a brisk trade was done. The ladies responsible for the Stalls were: Refreshments :—Mrs Tumour and Miss Griffith, Miss Tumour, Mr E A Tumour, The Misses Townshend, Mrs R James Hughes, Miss Ashford, Miss Roberts.— "Nick Nacks." :—Mrs Lloyd Williams, Mrs K J Sway fie, Miss Gold Edwards, Miss Lewis, Miss J C Lloyd Williams.— Fancy Work;—Mrs J P Lewis, Mrs Evan Pierce, Miss Mane Conran, Miss Alice P,* orce, -Woollen Work :—Mrs Cottom, Miss Hughes, (Ystrad), Miss Maggie Jones, Miss Vaughan Jones.— Plain Work:—Mrs Davies, (the Rectory), Miss Eva Lewis, Miss Evans. Unfortunately, the Rector was unable to be present, being confined to his room with a very severe attack of influenza, although he had been able to make aU the preliminary arrangements, and in his absence the Rev E J Davies and the Rev H Eaton Thomas were indefatigable in their exertions for the success of the undertaking and the place of the Rector in 1 the opening of the proceedings was taken by the Mayor (E A Turnour, Esq.) The Sale was opened by Mrs Townshend Mainwaring, Galltfaenan, who, on her arrival at 2.30, was met by the Mayor, and escorted to the room, amid the applause of the visitors, everyone being very pleased to welcome her after her recent illness. The Mayor was supported by the Rev E J Davies, the Rev H Eaton Thomas, Col Mesham, Col Lloyd Williams, &c. His Worship addressing the company said :—Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure it will be regretted by everybody that our excellent and worthy Rector is unable to be present on this occasion. He is most unfortunately laid up with a very severe chill, and the doctors will not permit him to come out. He has deputed me to take his place to-day, and it is my duty and my pleasure as chairman of these proceedings to introduce to you a lady who really needs no introduction, a lady who is always en evidence upon occasions of this nature, and who by her charitable actions has endeared herself to all of us (applause), and whose very presence here will be sufficient to ensure a successful and satis- factory result, financial and otherwise (applause). When I tell you that this lady has to-day with her characteristic kindness given the handsome donation of X10 towards the funds of this undertaking it will be unnecessary for me to do any more than welcome her here, as I most sincerely do (applause). I need not tell you that this lady is Mrs Townshend Mainwaring (applause), who, notwith- standing the venerable age to which it has pleased God to spare her to us, has come here to-day to open this Parochial Sale of Work, and I have very great pleasure in calling upon Mrs Townshend Mainwaring to open the proceedings (applause). Mrs Townshend Mainwaring said when she was first asked to open that sale of work she felt reluctant to do so, as she was not connected with the parish, and was very unworthy of the honour (no, no), but as the Rector assured her that it was the unanimous wish of the committee that she should do so she felt that she could do no other than comply with their wish, though she was quite sure that many other ladies could have been asked who would have I done it better than she could. She very much regretted the absence of the Rector through illness, and trusted he would soon recover. She wished every success to the undertaking, and trusted that it would be the means of providing the funds which the Rector needed for parish work (applause). She desired to take that opportunity of thanking her very many friends for their kind inquiries and their sympathy with her during her recent illness. She had much pleasure in declaring the sale of work open (applause). Col Lloyd Williams in a brief and appropriate speech proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Mainwaring for attending and opening the sale. The Rev H Eaton Thomas seconded it, especially expressing the obligation of the I clergy to Mrs Mainwaring for her kind- ness on that and many other occasions.— The resolution was carried with applause. The business then began in earnest, and was kept up until soon after 9 in the evening. There was a good attendance, especially in the afternoon, but it was to a great extent confined to ladies there was rather a scarcity of men, who have been accustomed here to leave 11 sales of work to the gentler sex. The financial result must have been most gratifying to the promotors, and shows how well they worked duiing the few hours the sale was on the very handsome sum of X91 (including Mrs Mainwaring's donation) having been realised.

MESSRS. CLOUGH'S CHRISTMAS SHOW AND SALE AT THE DENBIGH SMITHFIELD. all Taesdav last Messrs Clough and Co., auctioneers, Denbigh, held their annual Christmas show and sale of fat stock at the Denbigh Smithfield.

DENBIGH COUNTY MAGISTRATES. COURT. WEDNESDAY.—Before Captain Cole, Mesan John Briscoe, and Owen Williams, Clanclwyd. I TEE LATE MB E T JONES. Capt Cole said that, before they proceeded to the business of the court, he should like to say a few words in respect to one of their late brother magistrates they no doubt knew that he referred to the death of Mr E T Jones. He had been a magistrate for a number of years. and always did his duty faithfully and well, not only in that-the county magistrates court —but also in the borough police court. He was a magistrate who always did his duty oa the bench without any party feeling, doing justice to everyone. Mr John Briscoe said he quite endorsed what Capt Cole had said, and he would propose that a letter of condolence be sent to the family cf the late Mr Jones, expressing their regret at the loss of such a good fellow-mafistrate and their high appreciation of his services. Mr Owen Williams begged to second the proposition of Mr Briscoe, and said that Mr Jones had always been very faithful, always striving to do what was just and right. Mr A 0 Evans said that, as a solicitor practicing at Denbigh, he begged to add his expression of sympathy to what Capt Cole had said about Mr E T Jones. As a solicitor he had frequently been before Mr Jones acting AS magistrate, and he had always been impartial in his duties on the bench. The Magistrates' Clerk said that he would see that the letter of condolence was sent to the family. DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS. John Davies, of Pantglas neat Nantglyn, for whom Mr A 0 Evans, solicitor appeared, was summoned by Police-constable Williams of Nantglyn, for driving without lights on Tues- day, 22nd November, on the road between Gwaenynog Bach and Nantglyn. Polioe-constable Williams said that about 5.40 p.m. on the day in question, he saw the defendant driving a cart without lights in the country. He asked the defendant why he had no lights and he replied that he did not know the law. Cross-examined by Mr A 0 Evans Witness said that he saw the defendant whilst he was travelling in the borough. He went in front of the defendant, passed him in the road, and waited for him and then asked him why he had no lights. The defendant was about a mile from home, between Denbigh and Nantglyn. It was at 5.40 he was sure, as he looked at hia watch. Mr Evans: Under the new Act I will call the defendant to give evidence on his own behalf. The defendant, John Davies, said that he lived at Pontglas, about three and a half miles from Denbigh. The day that ho was summoned he was in charge of a horse and an agricultural cart, proceeding home, and in the cart there was a sack of meal and another of bran. He started from town at 10 minutes past four by the St Mary's Church clock, and he would be able to arrive home easily by 10 past five. Ha did not stop on the road, neither did he spea C to anyone on the road with the exception OF the policeman, who came out by thoTach and ran in front of him. The policoman did not look at his watch at the time of that he wa. certain. Someone passed him on the road at the time and he had brought him to court to give evidence. The defendant was then cross-examined at some length by Police-constable Williams. Evan Evans, Waen Delan, also gave evi- dence, and said that it could not possibly be 5.40 :p m. when the policeman stopped DE* fendant. He lived a lot further on the road than defendant, and when he got home it was striking six, the clock being half-an-hour fast; the correot time was 5.30 then. Mr Evans said he did not think that he need trouble to address the benoh as the case was quite clear. His client was not guilty of the charge brought against him, and would sooner pay the fine and costs of the case, but he had come to court to put the true facts before the benoh. He held that there was no case against his client. It was 10 past four when the de- fendant left the town, and it was proved that the horse which he had was a spirited one, and could a mile in a qUARier of an hour, AND defendant had not stopped on the road only with the policeman for about five minutes. He did not meau to suggest that hllO 'w.JJ: oame there to commit periuTy. hut. he r. very ¡5:L.,t xt:siak4, ar-3 there -.vas 20 the defendant, a; d the bench had DÜ fi, tri'ct;v~ bet to dismiss the cage, I:. to l:-?n-SC Williams said he was certain of the time. The court was then cleared, and after 4 delay of about 20 minutes, when it was re.. opened, Tha Chairman said that they had careful!? considered the case and the evidence proved that the defendant was guilty. There was ao doubt of it. As it was the first offeace they had decided to reduce the fine, and defendant would be fined 2s 6d and 5s costs. Richard Roberts, Denbigh, who pleaded guilty to a similar offence was fined Is and as costs, *e bench telling him not to let the offence occur again. Isaac Jones, Waen, Segrwyd. was summoned and fined Is and 2s 6d costs for allowing a sow, belonging to him, to stray.
