APPOINTMENT FOR DR. FLORENCE PRICE.—We are pleased to find that the Management Committee of the Swansea Hospital on Friday appointed Miss Florence Price,'daughter of Dr R. G.

Francis, Myrtle Hill; and Mr Fred Brig tocke, King street. The in- vitation cards are issued by the Committee in order to ascertain how many are likely to be present. DEATH OF MRS DAVIES-, FURNACE GARDENS. —We regret to record the death of Mrs Eliza beth Davies, wife of Mr W. E. Davies, Fur- nace Gardens, which took place on Wednes- day, the 21st inst. Mrs Davies, who was 31 years of age, had been in very indifferent health for a considerable time; but the end came very suddenly, as she was able to be about two days before her death. With her husband and child the greatest sympathy is felt, as they have lost in her an excellent wife and mother. She took the deepest in- terest in the work of the Salvation. Army, but her health had greatly interfered with her activity in that rgspect. The funeral todk place at the Cemetery on Monday. The offi- ciating ministers were the Revs D. Evans 'Lammas street), B. F. Richards, and Ensign Roberts, erf the Salvation Army.—Mr Davies isks us to convey his heartfelt thanks to the nuemrous kind friends who sent him messa- ges of condolence and .sympathy in his great dlliction. CAMBRIAN PLACE MISSION CHURCH.—At the above place on Thursday of last week, the members of the Band of Hope, numbering nearlv sixty, gave an excellent entertain- ment. The sacred edifice was tastefully de- corated by willing helpers. The chair was taken punctually at seven o'clock by Mr B. R. Davies, the indefatigable lay reader, who in the course of his remarks alluded to the flourishing condition of the branch. After which, the children went through the various carols, recitations, solos, etc., in a manner which left nothing to be desired, and which reflected the utmost credit upon Miss Susie Jones, Mansel street, who had trained them. THE Tabernacle Concert on Monday even- ing next, January 2nd, by the selection of artistes, must bo a great success; it must be admitted that this annual concert eclipses all concerts in the town for some years. They have secured this year the services of Madame Drinkwater, Of the Crystal Palace, Queen's Hall, etc. Concerts, and Cardiff Festival, 1904 (soprano); Miss Eva Hall, winner of National Eisteddfod prizes (con- tralto) Mr Thomas Thomas, of the Queen's hall, St. James's Hall,, Royal Albert Hall, and National Ei teddfod concerts (tenor); and Mr Meurig James, winer of Evill, and Leslie-Croftv prizes at Royal Academy of Manic (bass). Accompanist, Mr T. S. Puddi- combe. DEATH OF MR DAVID OWEN, 109, PRIORY ST. —We regret to record the death of Mr Dd. Owen, mason (son of Mr Wm. Owen) which took place on Christmas Eve after a long and severe illness. The greatest sympathy is felt with the bereaved family in their affliction, as the deceased was a young man who was very popular with all classes. The funeral tcok place on Tuesday afternoon, and was one of the largest seen for a long time in Carmarthen all classes from far and near attending to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. At the house a short ser- vice was conducted by the Rev D. Davies Baptist minister, Gowerton. At St. David's Churchyard, the service was conducted by tHe Rev Owen Jones, curate. The chief moruners were: Mr Wm. Owen (father), Mr William Owen, Mr J. T. Owen, (brothers), Mr J. R. Owen, Mr James Ovaen (Llanelly), Mr Wm. Owen (Ma-esteg), Mr Dd. Jones, Mr Wm. Jones, Mr John Jones, Mr W. Llewellyn, Mr Edward Owen, Mr Thomas Owen, and Mr Esiah Davies (cousins). W reaths were sent by Mr and Mrs Reid, Prio-ry street; Mrs Morgan, Assembly rooms and by various friends. Several friends of the deceased acted as bearers. Deceased was a very faithful member of Penuel Baptist Church, and was 27 years old. MINSTREL ENTERTAINMENT.—On Boxing night the Carmarthen Football Club held their annual negro entertainment at the Assembly Rooms, and judging from the crowded house, the club must benefit very much financially. A splendid programme of music had been arranged, with the assistance of that talented young musician, Mr P. R. Daniel, A.R.C.O., the musical director.

PENUEL CHRISTMAS CONCERT.—The usual Olniotmos concert took plaee -i-. Penuel Gnapel on Boxing night. The cantata on- titled "The Children's Saviour" was per- formed by the Children's Choir in a manner which reflected the greatest credit on them- selves, and on their talented and indefatig- able conductor Mr T. Conwil Evans. The chair was occupied by Mr J. D. Jones, the genial postmaster of Carmarthen, who con- vinced all that he was the right man in the right place.

CARMARTHEN MAN'S SUCCESS.—Interesting Presentation to Warrant, Officer Lewis.- ThedVIetropolitan Police Force in general, and the Southwark division in particular, has just lost the services of an able and ex- perienced officer in the person of Police- Constable John Lewis, 168 M., who has re- tired on full pension after completing 25 years service, the last eight years of which he spent at Southwark Police Court, where he carried out the duties of warrant officer. Mr Lewis is a native of Carmarthen, alul prior to joining the police, was employed as a postman and subsequently as a sortel" in the Carmarthen Post Office under Postmaster James, lo mark their appreciation of his services, the officers and men of M. division decided to present him with a testimonial, and this little function took place on Tues- day in the presence of a large gathering, wnich included Inspector Anderson, Sergts. Bosley. Quaife, Young, and Green away, re- presentativea of the Criminal Investigation Dept. Mr James P. Budden, solicitor, and Mr George Baker (representing Mr H. I. Sydney, solicitor), etc., etc. Jn presenting Mr Lewis with a handsome marble clock, suit ably itiset-ified, Inspector Ferguson, in the unavoidable absence of Supt. Waters, re- ferred in eulogistic terms to the manner in which Lewis had discharged his duties, and said he felt confident that he left the Force with the best wishes of his comrades for his future welfare (applause) Mr Lewis, in ncknow edging the gift said that if he lived for another o0 years they would always find him a policeman, and he should be ever ready to render aslstance should occasion arise. To the younger members of the force he wished to give one wont of advice, and that was to work up their education, appreciate their officers, and their duties, and the public, and they were bound to get on—although they could not all be superintendents (ap- plause). Hearty cheers having been given for Mr and Mrs Lewis and Inspector Fergu- son, the proceedings teminated. The inha- bitints of the dsitrict have also determined to 'pre.ent Mr Lewis with a testimonial, and with this oh pet in view an influential com- mittee has been formed with Mr H. J. Svd- ney as chairman, Dr Macdonald Judge vice- chairman, and Mr George Baker, 300 Boro Hugh street, lion, secretary.

Faneral of Mr. J. H. Barker, Carmarthen. The funeral of the late Mr J. H. Barker, wlio-e death we recorded in our last issue, took place at Carmarthen on Friday. The whole town wore an aspect of mourning during the funeral, which was largely atten- ded by all classes. The mourners were: Mr T. W. Barker (son), Rev D. George Davies, English Chaplain at Lausanne (brother-in- law), and the Rev George Sevier. Davies, of Eton College (nephew). There were also present Mr E. H. Morris, Brynmyrddin Mr D. Davies, Werndrefi; Dr C. P. Parry, the Bishop of St. David's, the Rev C. G. Browne, the Rev T. R. Walters, and the Rev Owen Jones. The following who had been articled clerks to the deceased were pre- sent: Mr Meredith Price, Mr H. Brunei AVhite, Mr D. E. Stevens, and Mr J. W. Nicholas.

Carmarthen Borough Education…
Carmarthen Borough Education Committee. The monthly meeting of this committee was held on Tuesday evening, when there were present: The Rev C. G. Brown (chair- man), Rev J. Harry, Rev D. J. Thomas, Rev E. U. Thomas, Yr H. E. Blagdon Richards, Miss Spurrell, and Mr Treharne. It was decided on the motion of Mr Geo. Treharne, seconded by the Hev D. J. Thomas that Ralph S. Morgan be appointed assistant teacher art. 50 at the Pentrepoth Council School at a salary o. C50 per annum. It was resolved that the Clerk be requested to obtain tende. s for a cupboard for St. Mary's R.C. School. The Rev J. Harry and Miss Spurrell were appointed a sub-com- mittee to report on the defects of the range in the kitchen at, Pentrepoth School. The Chairman brought forward a motion to raise the scale of trained certificated teachers' salaries in the borough to the same standard as that adopted by the County Education Committee. His reason for mak- ing such a proposal was that, their scale being much lower than that of the county, they were unable to get any answers to their advertisements for trained certificated teachers. The Rev Joseph Harry asked if the dis- cussion of the motion should not be post- poned, as several members were absent. The Chairman said he was perfectly will- ing to fall in with the suggestion if the mem- bers thought it desirable, although he had given notice of motion. Mr u. Blagdon Richards said he also would like a postponement, as he would like to gather information, and one of two absent members wished to go into the matter fully. The Chairman, in withdrawing his motion for a month, stated that the county salary was tSOI whereas that of the borough was only £ 75, the rise being £ o a year until E95 was reached. The yearly increase of the county salary was £2 10s, the maximum ob- tainable being L115.
Mr. Alfred Davies and Mr.…
Mr. Alfred Davies and Mr. Lloyd Morgan. To tho Editor of the farmarthen Weekly Reiwrter Dear Sir,—Mr Alfred Davies has alwavs consistently voted strait on the Welsh Policy and on every other Liberal question, and yet some are disposed to turn him out of his seat; Mr Lloyd Morgan has gone against his party on the great question affecting Wales, and yet many Liberals desire to screen him and allow him to retain his "'eat. Some such w in yom- last Issue, kiild I as o,.J Carmarthen Liberal, am glad for the saKc of our present member that you called atten- tion to the inconsistency. The voting record ol Mr Alfred Davies is clear and strong, but some, without regard to fairplay, forget this and snub" the honourable gentleman when ever there is a chance. He gets no fairlpay 1 from a small section of lame, and halt, and prejudiced either here or at Llanelly. At the meeting the other evening, addressed by ( Air Silvester Home and Mr Law, the hon. gentleman was present, but neither the Chairman nor others -in authority had the good manners to recognise his presence, and deal courteously with him, although still our Courtesy used to be a part of the h.e of Carmarthen, I trust that the young Liberals will not leave it in the hands of our opponents. They would not treat their M P thus, be he what he may. At Llanelly, in view of a great Liberal meeting organised by the friends of Mr Alfred Davies, Mr David (who by the way is very sore since the last I general election) actually wrote a letter to I the s accompanying Mr Davies dictat- ing to them what they shoidd or what they should not say on the platform, because of ? what he calls a certain more of the Joint Executives (T call it the sham more of a sham Joint Executive) When the great meeting, which was a decided success is over, the re- < port of it given in the "South Wales Daily News" is not a fair and honest report. The true report appeared in your paper last week; and has appeared in pamphlet form at J™ y' in whlci? form it. appears that out ot 8001 present only three voted against the resolution of confidence in favour of Mr Davies. Again the hon. member generously contributed 50 to Llanelly Hospital, in view cf the heavy expenditure involved by the i Loughor railway accident. Hardly a paper took notice of this generosity This consis- f ent persecution of the hon. member, be his failing what they may, will certainly, in the | long ,run tell in his favour. It has already ] in Llanelly. It will in Carmarthen, for the 1 old town unless much demoralised is a lover of fairplay. It is now. As I came out of the m i-i I on the evening referred to, an 1 old Liberal said to me why was Mr Alfred | Davies treated so badly? I said I don't know. Hell he said, if his enemies are going to pursue that course I, who have been against him up to the present, will vote for him when the election comes. I wish the hon. member a happy new year. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours, etc., | fairplay. I fairplay. I ——————"——"— 1
Accident to Mr. R. R. Carver,…
Accident to Mr. R. R. Carver, Wenallt. "hile huniting with the Carmarthenshire Hounds on Tuesday, Mr Carver, of Wenallt, was galloping a road in Pale Wood, near Whitlatid, he was unfortunate enough to gallop into two strands of barbed wire net- ting which were so low as to be invisible to the rider going at any pace. There were no posts visible. The consequence was that the mare ridden by Mr Carver turned right. over throwing Mr Carver heavily, and causing dislocation of the right arm and fracture to two of the bones of the arm. Fortunately, Dr i r. Thomas was near at hand, and immediately attended to him. The hounds Killed after two hours hard hunting. Had this unfortunate accident not occurred, Mr Carver and several who stayed with 'him, would have been in at the death. Mr Car- ver returned to Wenall at six o'clock the same evening, and is progressing as favour- ably as can be expected.
