LLANGYNHAFAL. THE FRIENDLY SOCIETY'S DEMONSTRATION.— Whit-Monday was spent in honour of the day in very solemn silence so far as the comparison with former observation. The clnb met as usual, and with the band made their way to Church by way of the Rectory, hub without music. At the Rectory the Rector received them and Messrs Jones. The Rector addressed a few words to the members, and was glad to see them. Then the band struck up God Save the King," and an soon as it was ended the olubbere stood bare-headed and sang the melody, accompanied by the band. So ended the visit to the Rectory. At the Church the nsual short service was rendered, consisting of the Leaser Litany, with a hymn and a very brief sermon, then another hymn, in both of which the band joined with the organ. After the Benediction was pronounoed the Reotor proceeded to the Vestry, and the band played the "Dead March," when he returned to the alter and stood in its front till ib was ended, the clubbers meanwhile all standing. As the members marched out of Church to return to the village, Miss Jones played a dirge on the organ. t

LLANSANNAN. PRESENTATION BY TENANTRY.—On Saturday, the 21st insb., Mr Wynne Yorke, Bryn Alea, entertained bit tenants and a few friends, on the occasion of the coming of age of his son and heir. The company numbered about 250, and included, in addition to the tenants and their wives, Mr and Mrs Williams (Lleweaog), Mr and Mrs Carlton (Foel), Mr and Mrs Aubrey Thomas (Pontygwyddel), Mr and Mrs A 0 Evans (Denbigh), the Vicar of Llannefydd and Mrs Bangor 5ones, the Rector of Llansannan and Mrs Ellis. The function began at 1 oclock, with the presentation of a gold watch, subscribed for by the tenants of Dyffryn Aled. Short addresses were delivered by Mr Evan Roberts, Mr John Evans, the Rector, and Mr Williams (Llewesog); and afterwards, Mr John Evans, in the absence of the oldest tenant (Mr John Jones, Glyn), handed the watch to Mr BAY Wynne Yorke, who replied in a abort felicitous speech. Mr Wynne Yorke aleo. epoke, expressing the great pleasure the event had given to him and Mrs Wynne Yoike, and anticipating a con- tinuance of the same happy conditions, as had always existed on the Dyffryn Aled estate between the landlord and the tenants. Then the party adjourned to the pavilion for lunch> The afternoon was devobea to sporbs.—After ten the Llansannan choir sang glees, and Mr W H Davies and Mr Wm. Davies (Llanfair) sang a duet and solos. Mr W H Davies sang some appropriate verses, specially written for the occasion by Caerenydd. Before the National Anthem was sung, Mr BAY Wynne Yorke presented to the members of the choir small silver medals, bearing on one side the Dyffryn Aled armii, and on the other side- May 14th, 1910," the date of the coming of age. So ended a very happy day, the presage, we hope, of many happy years to come.

LLANFAIR D.C. FRIENDLY SOCIETY'S ANNUAL FESTIVAL.— The members of the club came together in good numbers on Whit-Monday. The pro- ceedings began with divine service in the Parish Church, conducted by the Rev Canon Basil M Jones and the Rev Gomer Edwards. An excellent and most appropriate sermbn was preached by the Rev W Hopkins Jones, Rector of Clocaenog. Ab the luncheon in the Schoolroom a hearty vote of thanks was given to the preaoher for his sermon, and in ac- knowledging the same, Mr Hopkins Jones gave the members some very good practical advice founded upon the example set up by his late Majesty the King to all his subjeebs.-The sports, which have become an interesting ) feature of these occasions, were held in a meadow kindly lent by Mr John Morris, of Gartbgynan, and it is understood that a fair sum arising from the proceeds will be handed to the Society.

While Mr Owen Davies, roadman, was re- turning home on Saturday afternoon he met with a serious accident at the base of Bronwylfo. hill. How the accident happened is unknown. It in however probable that while riding a cycle he lost control of the machine and was thrown heavily to the ground, disfiguring his face and breaking his collarbone. He was found un- consiout on the roadside and taken in a grocer's oarb to Dr Lloyd's surgery, where he was medically attended, and afterwards removed to his home in Wain, where he lies in a critical condition. THE COMET. Owing to the delightful evenings now enjoyed interested observers have been out a consider- able part of the evenings scanning the økV on the look-out for Halley's, but have been unable to locate ib or anything like ib. Those who believe they have seen it say it was a dis- appointing Bight compared with the daylight comeb of January lasb. An announcement appeared in the daily papers that it would not be visible to the naked eye, and that it was necessary to have a glass. Some took this advice literally and provided themselves with a glass of Hence the reason for the report that more than one comet has been seen THE PARISH CHURCH. A little while ago one of the oak brackets, attached to one of the prineipal beams, fell near the choir stalls. The wardens gave in- structions to Mr Walter Williams to examine the other brackets, when he discovered that one of the I hammer beams' was in an ad- vanced state of decay, dry rot having set in, which will necessitate extensive renovation, and prove expensive. The vicars and wardens instructed him to proceed with the work forth- with, relying on the generosity of the parishioners to provide the necessary cost. The Church servioes during the. week were therefore suspended, as well aa those in the Cathedral, for the annual spring cleaning. The daily ringing of the bells have been missed. «

Death of Little Cyril Jamieson. Hoartfelb sympathy was felt with Mr and Mrs Jamieson, of the Alexandra Hotel, Rhyl, on the dath of their little son, Cyril, afrer a few week's illness, which took place on Monday last at the ago of eight. Early in the month he had taken parb in the demonstration at Rhyl to usher in tholday-but before the close of the month he had passed away to realma more fatr- The little hande are quiet now, And his little feet are at rest; And so placid and smooth is his snow- whibe brow, Where our lips so often have pressed. During his short illness he longed to be back among the playing fields of the city, and his parents decided, as they would shortly be leaving Rhyl, to leave him with his friends at St Adaph. The funeral took place at the Cemetery on Wednesday, and it was pathetic to see his former playmates, as if called away from their play, walking in front of the sad procession. And now at rest. It is well with the child," for God's Spirit touched him while he slept. The following is a list of wreaths, &o.:—' To DarliDgLittle I Squirrel," from Daddie, Mother, Georgie and Ken, 4 Thy Will be done.' 1A loved one.

THE CITVIS TRIBUTE OF GRIEF. In MemdPiam Services In Commemoration of His Late Majesty Edward VII. CROWDED CONGREGATIONS. Whilo the great pageant of death was taking place in London and Windsor the citizeus paused in their daily toil and plop-sores to join in the universal mourning. A thrill of common sorrow pervaded the whole community. No conqueror crowned with laurels of war had oucli admiring homage paid him as was paid to the memory of the beloved Monarch who ruled his Empire with wisdom and love, and in ages yet to be will command admiration as the Peacemaker. To day he passes whom we loved so well Through shuttered ways the Ion, pro- cessions go: Amid the plangent tolling of the boll, Amid the drooping pageantry of woo. There was a common thankfulness for a King devoted to the service of his people and for the peace and prosperity which marked his reign. Neither did we forget that the common enemy which lays its icy hands on Kings had been busy in the hollow chambers beneath the sea at White- haven, where men were trapped with fire burning between them and the sunlight, which they were destined never to see any more. The tragedy went home to every heart, and a hearty response was made on behalf of the sufferers bereft of their bread- winners. The Cathedral collection amounted to X18 6a 2d, a substantial addition to a good and deserving object. The day was generally observed as a day of mourning, business premises were I closed, all sections were in mourning attire. An impressive service was held at the C.M. Chapel at 1.15, attended by fully 350 persons. The service oonsisted of the singing of memorial hymns, the reading of a portion of the Scripture by the Rev R H Thomas, Wesleyan minister, and the Rev W M Jones, Independent minister, engaged in prayer, following by an address by the Rev Jonathan Jenes. The Rev Jonathan Jones, who conducted the meeting, delivered an address. He said that one of the ohief purposes of all the meetings held on that day throughout the length and breadth of the country was to acknowledge the government of God over all the affair* of men. We all say with one united voice, The Lord reigneth let the earth rejoice let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.' The King of England is dead, and is buried this day; but the King of kings and Lord of lords sitteth on the great Throne of the universe from everlasting to everlasting. 'The Lord reigneth let all these Ialas be glad, and let all our great Empire rejoioe, though we have lost a great earthly King. One of oar dangers on a day like this is to lose sigbt of the great invisible truths which ought to have a strong hold of our minds and hearts, and to remain only with the visible and comparatively insignificant facts occurring before our eyes. L'8t us all strive to see the invisible in the ways of Providence. On this day I think Wtt onght to remember and to meditate thankfully on the great goodness of God towaJod. our country during the reign which has just closed, especially in wo subjects—the flourishing and prosperons state of trade and commerce during our late King's reign, and also the great blessing of peace which we have enjoyed during his reign. Our late King loved peace from the bottom of his heart. Though he never interfered directly with diplomacy, which he left to his ministers, yet no one in Europe or in the whole world during the last ten years did more by personal influence to establish and to confirm the peace on earth. A greater One than even Edward VII is called the Prinoe of Peace, and no doubt the late King, for many oenturies to come, will be known as Edward the Peacemaker, and 'blessed are the peacemakers.' The very presence of King Edward amongst the crowned heads of Europe had a great in- fluence for peace. I believe Lord Bosebery said the right thing the other day when he observed that our late Monarch was a great King because be was first of all a great man—the man, the sympathetic man, the man of great common sense, the man with a great heart, was much more visible and prominent in him than the king. He was great as a king because he was great as a man. His strong sense of duty clang to his mind to the very last day of his life. No one will do much good in the world un- less he is under the influence of the senae of duty. This sense lasted upon our late King as long as breath itself. Before I started for this meeting Iread over again that gem of a letter which Qaeen Alexandra wrote to the nation after the death of her husband. I hope we shall all remember it for a long time, and especially one shorb sentence it contaiDs-' Give me a thought in your prayers.' Let us also not forget in our prayers the new King. George V., who now only faces his great and arduous duties as King of a great Empire, Dot forgetting his Consort—Queen Mary. The Cathedral Service. THE LORD LIEUTENANT ATTENDS OFFICIALLY. Although the service was announced to commence at 2.30 many of the regular wor- shippers at the Cathedral beaieged the doors fully an hour before. The doors were opened at 1.45, and the seats in the navo were promptly filled. The Noncon- formist ministers of the oity, by invitation of the Dean, occupied the Canon's stalls. There was a hushed stillness among the congregation until 2.15, when the Cathed- ral bell tolled its sorrowful monotone. The sacred edifice soon beoame filled to its utmost capacity. The Wardens and others, under the direction of the Rev D C Owen, acting as stewards for the seating of tho most composite congregation ever held in the Cathedral. Ali sections and all shades of religious thought were present—a united service in its truest sense. The choir led the procession from the Chapel House, consisting of the Vicars Choral, the Ven the Dean, and the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. Near the West door they were joined by the Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire I (H R Hughes, Esq., ot Kinrnel), in his Court uniform, as representing His Majesty the King, accompanied by Mr H A CiezLver, registrar of the Diocese, in wig and gown. The service was Form III of the special forms issued officially by the Ivmg s printers. The music of the Introits was by Mr' Belcher, the organiat; the special Psalm, the v, xxiii, aDd the xxvii; anti- phon, "I heard a voice fr0m Heaven, I from Garret in D service; The Benodictus, Stamford in A; the anthem 61 Blessed are the Departed," from Spohr'N 'Last J adgi.nent I and the funeral marches, the 'Dead March in Saul and Chopin's I Marche Finiebre.' I One word will describe the musical portion of the service, and that is bc-autiful., t The lessoo, taken from I Cor. xii. 20 verse, I was read by the Doo. io Welsh. The servioe was intoned by the Rev D Lester Jones, and was entirely in English, with If the exception of the collect beginning 0 merciful God,' which was read in Welsh. [ The hymn before the ssrmon was 0 God, our help in ages past,' which was feelingly sung by the vast congregation, and the Welsh funeral hymn, O Frynian Caer- salem,' was most effectively anng.iif The Unshod softness of the lice in the second verse, 'Yn dawel ar fynwys ein Duw (' Calm on the bosom of God '), as sung by no congregation]of fully 800, is iudessribable, it was so exquisitely sweet. An addiess was delivered by the Bishop of St Asaph on Proverbs xxiy. 14, The king that faithfully judcreth the poor his throne 0; litli be established for ever." To-day, he eaid, under a glorious Rummer sun there moves through the capital of this Empire the funeral train of the King we have lost. Every token of power and I magnificence that can appeal to the human imagination is there. Not this Empire only, but every civilised Power throughout the world, will be represented there either by monarch, princo, or envoy. Truly a great and splendid spectacle. But not in this august pageant do we see the most sacred and abid- ing tribute to the memory cf our dead King, but in the sorrow of countless and nameless thousands throughout this kingdom and Empire. What has so touched men's hearts? Death is not only » leveller, but a revealer. The voices of strife: and detraction are silent, and all that is best stands out in a clear and a fresh revelation. In the gifts and qualities of the late King upon which men's thoughts and words have centred during the last few days, can we not trace one quality that largely ex- plained and inspired the rest? That was the power of sympathy. We hear of the marvel- lous tact which brought classes and nations together in unity and peace, and we think of tho words of the great apostle who, constrained by the same power of sympathy, oould say, I am made all things to all men." Two records of our late King I may venture to quote. One came from a lifelong friend on the merning that the coronation had been postponed and the King lay hovering on the confines of that world into which be has now passed. He has," said his friend, a heart as bender as a woman's." The other record came from a great statesman who some years ago laid before the King some legislative proposals. Take care," was the criticism, whatever you pro- posed, you do not press upon the poor." After all, human judgments are poor fragmentary things. In the white light of the final judg- ment we know that we shall be judged by One in whom there is the union of per- fect knowledege and perfect love—One who knows all and can feel for all. And we are taught and believe that to this divine power of sympathy much will be forgiven. r Our hearts beat to-day with sympathy and with hope with sympathy pre-eminently for the widowed Queen who for more than half a century has exbhroned herself in the hearts of this nation by a life and character of all that is most compassionate and truly womanly. Our hopes and prayers are with our King. The weight and care of sovereignty devolve upon him at an hour, pregnant with the destiny of years. We hope and believe that he will exercise his authority with wisdom, and that his influence and that of his Queen will be for all that is good and noble, and that the example and the power of their own domestic life may help to preserve pure and untarnished that ideal of the home which has been the pride and the strength of our race. After the I Dead March,' the familiar strains of God save the King' were heard on the organ, and the singing of the National Anthem conoluded a most im- pressive service, which will linger long in the memory.

St. Asaph and District Miniature Rifle Club. ANNUAL PRIZE SHOOT. In accordance with the expressed Royal command that the annual Whit-week ar- rangements of the people should not be interferred with or cancelled," the St Asaph and District Miniature Rifle Club held their annual Prize bhoot from the Saturday before Whit-week to the following Saturday, 14th to 21st May, 1910. The shooting was brisk and competition was keen, but owing to a family bereavement, one of the foremost shots of the club was unable to take part in the contest. The weather, which at times seemed threaten- ing, proved very favourable, and at no time was the shooting postponed or delayed by rain. Entries were received from 34 members as against 29 entries of the year before. Thirteen events and two sets of aggregate prizes were offered tor competition, and the prizes, which had been on view at Messrs Pearce and Jones' window in High-street, St Asaph, made a brave ehow and were much admired. 3,690 rounds ot ammunition were fired during the week. The shooting arrangements for Friday were. of course, cancelled, and the flag on the hut flew half mast as a sign of respect until Saturday morning when it was hoisted to the trucks. The prizes were delivered to the successful com- petitors on Monday evening, 23rd May, in the Drill Hall, at 8 p.m., by Col R W Williams Wynn, D.S.O., president of the club, in the presenoe of numerous friends and supporters. After sketching briefly the work of the ciub and its aims and objects, he proposed a vote of thanks to the officers who had so ably carried out the arrangements of the prize shoot, which, in a few well chosen words was seoonded by Lt.-Col P H Johnston, C.M.G. A vote of thanks to Col Wynn for his services was pro- posed by Mr H A Graves and seconded by Sergt Jones.

HOLIDAY TICKETS IN NORTH WALES. Another boon and blessing to men must surely be applicable to the new cheap season (or contract) tickets issued by the London and North Western Railway Company to tourists in North Wales. For the absurdly small sum of 7a 6d one can travel any number of times during the week between Prestatyn, Rhyl, r Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Bettwsycoed, &c, &s. Corresponding cheap rates have been put in force for more exteuded periods, and tour?, in- cluding unlimited journeya by the North Wales S eamship Co's boits between Lian. dudno, Beaumaris, Bangor, Monai Bridge, and Carnarvon. Full particulars can be obtained at any London and North Western station or town office.

FEET FULL OF CORRUPTION. K Cripple's Sensational Cure by Zam-Eak. As the outcome of "a serious accident at his work, Mr. R. Punish, a carpenter, of 112, Der- singham Avenue, P.nk. Lonital, E was crippled with painful ulcers on his feet. While helping to refit the P. & O. s-eiiiier 'Palermo' in the Royal Aloert Dock, London." said Mr. Patrish, I fell into tha hoid—a depth ef nineteen feet. I fell with nsy tool iu: nn iec mv back. I t*i c.;rrÙ" mere fai 1;70 cl-v: into the S'i>rr*ti's /fjsfiial, where I In for weeks, partially paralysed, f.nter, I vras taken to the London Hospital to undergo an operation to my back. When I ot ii:<out :1;in walked fl-.tt.footed, and inr foet were fibreless and so't. The skin broks and soon mr feet vrere a mass of ulcers. It 5tc:uod as if all the corruption in my body had filtered down into my feet. "I went back to the London Hospital, but in spite of months of 'judical treatment my feet didn't get any better. I was then told to »o to the Infirmary, but I was so thoroughly dis- heartened that 1 went home, badly crippled, and had a private doctor. He could»do nothing for me, however. Having heard a lot about Zam-Buk, I tried this balm. I know it wa-q a bold step to try Zam-Buk after the best medical skill had failed, but my experiment soon proved successful. Both feet were covered with the sickening sores when I started with Zam-Buk, and seemed like masies of decayed flesh and skin. This remarkable herbal balm, which is so entirely dilTerent from mere ointments, soon took away the intense pain, and after all the corruption had been drained away, the ulcers healed up. New skin grew over my feet, which got stronger every day until I could walk about again com- fortably. I appreciate Zam-Buk's marvellous feat in healing my terrible ulcers, which were like a nightmare to me for a long time. Only a few days ago, I walked two miles without feeling anv discomfort in my feet whatsoever."

BILIOUSNESS. Not able to Eat for a Week at a time. VICTORIA HOTEL, PLATT BRIDGE, Near WIGAN, GENTLEMEN,—I am happy to inform you that I have received great benefit by using "Gwilym Evans' Bitters," after suffering a long time from Biliousness. I had become very weak, and so nervous that if any one spoke in a loud tone I was much frightened. I have been so bad that I was not able to eat for a week at a time. I tried" Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bit- ters," and the first bottle did me a deal of good, so I got another, and am happy to say I am now quite well. I shall always speak well of these "Bitters" to all person" that I know. Yours truly, (Mrs.) BAXTER.

u THE ARMY PAGEANT." In'noticing the excellently got up book of the The Army Pageant' sent to us, we would specially mention that owing to the object for which the Pageant is being held, namely, the raising of funds for the Incorporated Soldiers and Sailors' Help Society, His Majesty King George has expressed the wish that the Pageant shall be in no way postponed. The book indicates in its pages the high ideals for which the promoters of the Pageant have striven, and which are so able expressed in the foreword written by Field Marshal Earl Roberts. The Pageant authorities hope the book will prove of service, not only to those attending the Pageant, but as a permanent record in schools, etc., with regard to the evolution of arms, armour, tactics, and military history, The book was published on Tuesday, at a cost of 2s 6d. It is splendidly illustrated, the literary matter deeply in- teresting, and in every way worthy of an ex- tensive sale.

Have you seen the comet ?" Such hare been the words on everybody's lips in Denbigh this week. Denbigbites in general have h a determied to catch limses of the much talked of wonder. On Saturday evening news bp; cad round the town that Halley's Comet would be visible at about 10 o'clock, and conse- quently large crowds banded together hfJd assembled on the Common outside the Castle. Later on, however, Mr Roberts, the Clfe- keeper, allowed the gathering to go ihn Castle, where be fixed the fairly large te'cpcone on a high mound. Several were allowed the privilege of ut-ing it, but although they kept their eyes steadfastly fixed on the vvc-bl, wh-re the ccmet was due to appegr, nothing could be observed. After an hour or more of a:;xicH;s waiting the disappointed enthusiasts iiiada their way home. On Sunday night a crowd again assembled on the same spot, but i,e-ro again disappointed. On Monday night a larger crowd than ever assembled, and teveiai declare that the streaks were visible through u telescope. Something was espied, and all with one accord declared it to be the cctret, but on closer observation it was found to be a rocket sent up by some practical jokers. This assembling outside the Castle has continued all through the week, but nothing very delicto was observed at any time. But a smaller number of people who had assembled at the top of Vale-street and also at the top of Water- street on Sunday eight did have for the of three minutes a clear view of seme heavenly body, which they were satisfied from ail appearances was the comet. Anyhow they firmly believe it was, and they are tbe only people we have heard of locally who have seen anything resembling it.

Is Mr. Clement Edwards To Go P SUGGESTED NEW LIBERAL CANDIDATE. It looks as if the Liberal caucus have decided that Mr Clement Edwards is to go tha'j is, that he is, as the candidate for Denbigh Boroughs, to be superseded by some one likely to be more acceptable to the whole party, o- some one who is thought to be more capably of winning back the seat. The must be something of the kind in tbo wind," when two such prominent and reliable Liberal organs as the Manchester Guardian and the Liverpool Post and Mercury announce in ail seriousness that the Liberal leaders m the Denbigh boroughs are about to ask Mr \V G O Gladstone, the young Squire of Hawardeu !Ao grandson of the late Mr W E Glad^Dtiei contest the Denbigh boroughs, and that tbcre is a strong feeling amongst the party genexu::y that he should be asked. This means, of course, that Mr Clement Edwards is to be thrust aside, for he has repeatedly, since the general election, expressed his determination to fight again, confident that he could win back the seat However, too organs referred to assume that Mr Gladstone would be the candidate, par excellence, and say that as Mr Gladstone and Mr Ormsby G ore sue close personal friends, the fight would bj particularly interesting one. No doubc it would. What Mr Clement Edwards will have to v to this is not for us to suggest. Evidently there is a movement) to effect a change of candidates, but as to the result we me must all wait and see."
