Pentre.
Pentre. I- At a church meeting held at Nazareth Chapel on Sunday evening last, it was decided to make a testimonial to the Rev. J. M. Davies, B.A., who, as already announced in these columns, has decided to resign the pastorate of the above church. What form the testimonial will take is not yet clearly known, but it is very gratifying to learn that the church as a whole is very desirous that some such steps should be taken, and that their appreciation of the rev. gentleman's labours in their midst for ten years should be shown in such a tangible and happy form. We understand that it is the in- tention of the church to hold a farewell meeting, at which the testimonial will be presented to the rev. gentleman. +-+-+- The first general meeting for members of the Pentre Literary and Debating Society was held on Monday evening last at the Society's headquarters, the Central Hotel, Pentre, Mr. Nath. Rosser, vice- president, in the chair. The result, of the "0' election of officers for the next session was that all the officers for the past ses- sion were re-elected, with the exception of the vice-president, Mr. Richard Morris being elected for that office during the coming session. The president (Mr. Evan Davies) called attention to the fact that, one of their members would shortly be leaving them for Aberystwyth. He was Mr. T. Wooton, who has been so fortu- nate as to obtain a situation in one of the largest solicitors' offices at that plea- sant seaside town. On behalf of the Society, he begged to extend to Mr. Wooton his sincerest congratulations. Mr. Wooton responded in a few choice phrases, and added that wherever Fortune would take him, he would always look back upon the evenings he spent at the Society last winter as the most pleasant in his life (cheers). It is also very pleasing to under- stand that the Society intend having a, brake drive to Llantwit Major. The day selected for the auspicious occasion is Wednesday, the 20th inst. We hope to have something to say of this trip later on.

Ton.
Ton. On Sunday evening last, at Jerusalem Chapel, Gelli, the united temperance meeting was held at 8 p.m., when two .splendid addresses were given by Mr. W. R. Michael, Cardiff, and Mr. T. Millward, solicitor, Ton. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Thomas Lewis. Mr. Michael, when called upon, made a remark upon the general idea prevailing as contained in the phrase, Rule Britannia." It was quite an erroneous thing for people to suppose that that indicated the real state of our country, as there were thousands upon thousands of slaves to a habit that sapped the very strength of our nation. The enemy Britain had to fear was an internal one, and that, was Strong Drink. He was going to treat of the subject that evening from the medical standpoint. He found on research that the evidence from medical gentlemen was simply overwhelm- ing. He would look at the matter from the physical, mental and moral stand- points. He had no doubt that there were many present who had seen in different papers and books the opinions of our most eminent medical gentlemen on this most vital question; they condemned one and all that alcohol had the beneficial quali- ties so often attributed to it. It weakened the body in every sense, in whatever doses it might be taken. He quoted the opinions of several gentlemen of high standing to support his contention, among whom he read the names of Sir F. Treves, Sir W. Gull, Sir John Williams, &c. He made capital use of the fact that most insurance societies have a temperance section and general section, the former with a view to having the support of tem- perance men, as it was proved by abso- lutely reliable statistics that the life of a total abstainer was ten years longer than one who had to do with drink. He gave instances of the strong men of the world, who abstain from using intoxicating liquors, especially so when in training for some object. Alcohol should be shunned also because of its fascinating power. It was classed by the medical world with lethal drugs, such as opium, etc., which have a hold on the people who make use of them. Many took alcohol because they stated it was good for their brain, but nothing could be more deceiving than this. He admitted that it did excite and stimulate a brain, but that the conse- quent reaction made for the weakening of the concentration power of the mind. It was very much like spurring a tired horse on its journey. It would go faster for a little, but it would in consequence be found in a much weaker state than it, otherwise would. What of the large num- ber that filled up our asylums? It was an admitted fact that two out of every three patients in the asylums were there directly through drink. On considering the matter from a moral standpoint, he found that alcohol should not at all be tolerated, and that it was responsible for much of the evil now existing around us. It was the greatest enemy of Christianity. j This was clearly seen on our mission fields. A missionary was asked by a native chief as to what, he preached. He said that he preached Christ. Away with your Christ," said the chief, because a mis- sionary came here some time ago and did the same; but soon after him came an- other white man, who traded with us and brought with him the firewater, and the harm that has been done our young men is very great, taking all the manhood out t of them—making them weaklings, and not [ the warriors and defenders they should be." He again cited many of the crimes that mothers are led to commit in regard to their offspring in consequence of this terrible habit. The drink was respon- sible for the loss of 38,000 church mem- bers last year, and yet the church tolerated this alcohol to bar its progress. He hoped that all who were in the meeting, if they were thoroughly convinced of their duty on this matter, would make it known, and try and get others to believe in the same way and adopt the same principles. Mr. Millward said that he would endeavour to speak of the matter from a patriotic point of view. He pointed out that to be patriotic meant to do everything that was for the highest benefit of the country, based upon the highest ideals. Could a person dabbling in the drink traffic, which made for the moral deterioration of the country, say that he was patriotic in the best sense of the term? He urged the young people present to stand boldly for their principles at all times, and not to be ashamed of letting the world know that they held such principles. The meet- ing terminated with an announcement of the opportunities afforded in the locality for persons desiring to join temperance societies, and also re the series of meet- ings to be held next week in connection with the Grand Lodge of Wales, I.O.G.T.

Ystrad-Rhondda.
Ystrad-Rhondda. On Saturday evening last a very plea- sant meeting was held at, the Gelligaled Hotel, Ystrad-Rhondda, under the aus- pices of the Bud of Rhondda Friendly Society, when the late secretary of the Society, Mr. John Jones, 176, Ystrad Road, was the recipient of a handsome watch, presented to him as a recognition of his valuable and faithful services which he has rendered to the Society for the last seven years. During his term of office the Society, which is a secession from the Manchester Unity, has prospered wonderfullv until it is to-day in a very flourishing condition. In the absence of the Grand Master (Mr. John Hughes), the chair was occupied by Mr. Danl. Jones, vice-chairman. The presentation was made by Mr. Thomas Watkins, treasurer, who is one of the oldest members of the Sccietv, and Mr. Jones responded in a neat little speech. During the evening, several songs and speeches were delivered by the officers and members of the Society. It is a matter for congratulation that the Society is in such an excellent and flourish- ing condition, notwithstanding the heavy demand upon its funds owing to the great amount of sickness which is preva- lent in the district. The Society wish it to be known that a, cordial welcome is extended to anyone who wishes to become a member.
.Treorchy.
Treorchy. The announcement that the Council propose erecting seats along the moun- tain slopes of the Valleys must be hailed with delight by the public, generally. Such an innovation will add materially to the rustic beauty of several spots throughout the district, as yet unknown excepting to those who have cultivated the habit of touring our mountains. We would humbly su—est that our local Councillors should bring before the notice of the adminis- trative body the Pentwyn and Cwmparc Mountain, already a popular rendezvous, and the Tylacoch Woods, suitable retreats for a comfortable sit down, especially the latter, along which there is some beauti- ful scenery. People going holiday-making in other places, wonder with amazement at the so-called glorious attractions of celebrated mountains, when the same moment they are ignorant of the magni- ficence of the mountains that daily en- circle them and which would enthral the enthusiastic Saxon in search of such revelries. With a little more enterprise on the part of the Council and inhabi- tants, the usually despised Valley, reputed for its grimy dust and obnoxious surround- in-, could easily be converted into a place of more than passing interest for the ordinary visitor. Our respected bard and litterateur, Mr. David Bowen (" Myfyr Hefin"), we are pleased to learn, is gaining notoriety as a lecturer, and for the forthcoming season has already booked about twenty engagements. Those who have had the pleasure of listening to some of his dis- courses will not be surprised to hear this, and we venture to think that he will soon take a first place in the rank of Welsh lecturers. He has a most interesting and attractive repertoire, including a lecture on his famous deceased brother, Ben Bowen. Other topics are equally taking, and are accorded the highest approval of some of the leading lights in the literary world. Elfed is taking a pronounced liking to Myfyr Hefin's" abilities, and the famous bard-preacher has suggested his abandonment of other pursuits for the one more congenial and better adapted one of litterateur. "Myfyr Hefin" has accomplished a fine literary stroke by the production of Ben Bowen's Memoir-a book which has earned for itself a. warm place in the hearts of Welsh divines and literary devotees, and for which the pains- taking brother deserves the thanks of a nation.

.Cwmparc.
Cwmparc. The C.Y.M.S. held its first meeting of the new session on Friday evening last at Park Hall, and there was a fairly strong muster of members, though there were, several of the old familiar faces missing, for divers reasons. Some have embarked on the fateful sea of matri- mony, a few have undertaken long jour- neys (notably the esteemed mirth-pro voker. who has found final anchorage in Edinburgh town), while others are yet haunting "yellow sands" in pursuit. of holiday happiness. There was little busi- ness, the chief item on the agenda being the appointment of secretary, Mr. Lewis J. Lewis being desirous of giving up office. So valuable have been his services in the past, however, that the members were unanimously of opinion that his active interest was indispensable to the future

Ulcers for 30 Years!
Ulcers for 30 Years! A Woman's Chronic Bad Leg Healed by Zam-Buk. Most women, especially working mothers, suffer to some extent with bad legs. Mrs. Lancaster, wife of a. game- keeper, living in the pretty park of Scrivelsby, near Horncastle (Lines.), had ulcers after white legs for thirty years, and doctors, hospital surgeons, and in* numerable so-called remedies were tried in vain. Zam-Buk effected a perfect and lasting cure. To a representative of the Horncastle Gazette" Mrs. Lancaster said: I suf- fered from white legs over thirty years ago, and one day I took my baby to a distant doctor. The walk made me tired, and I rested on an old tree stump. In getting up I caught my left. ankle against a protruding branch, but didn't think anything about it. Next evening the fooj pained me, and I found a small scab formed on the bruise. I applied oillt- ments, but the scab spread, and running wounds appeared all over my leg up to the knee and down to the very toe ends- Nothing proved equal to checking vf disease, which finally developed ip° several chronic ulcers. I tried everythiijS that anyone told me of, but without avail- The pain was so bad that I could n?* rest anywhere. At the Horncastle Dis- pensary they treated my disease carefully' but in vain. My leg became worse, was unable to walk even about the without support, and the pain was thing terrible. At times the ulcers get a little healthier, but the scabs alway came away to reveal as bad wounds ever. A neighbour thought I should ce tainly lose my leg. Sometimes I lost use of it altogether, and once or twice have fallen downstairs with it. For v j last eighteen months of my martyrdom never went outside the park gates, they are only some two hundred Ta a away. At last my sister brought L0 boxi of Zam-Buk. The balm appeared | take hold of the disease at once, aI1 persevered with the treatment..

The election or the remaining officers and committee takes place on Friday evening next. A scheme of work will also be submitted. It is hoped to arrange for the winter a series of popular lectures by well-known public men. On Monday evening last the local corps nf the Salvation Army had a glorious time" in the Park Hall celebrating their harvest thanksgiving festival. The hall was packed to overflowing" is the report from headquarters, and Lieut. Edward Me edith, who is home for a short period re ting from active work further afield. and Mrs. Vaughan, who were the chief promoters, were justified in smiling voluminously and voicing their" Halle- lujahs in characteristic fashion. The Treorchy Salvation Band rendered signal service, for on Sunday they paraded the village in martial style, and incidentally aided by the stentorian voices of a couple of officers, advertised the great event to perfection. On Monday evening they held pride of place on the platform, and discoursed" music valorously, while a huge assortment of articles were offered for sale and found ready purchasers. Lieut. Meredith desires us to convey the thanks of local Salvationists to the Cwm- parcian public for their kind support. Three Cwmparc young men who, smit- ten by the prevailing holiday fashion, spent their holidays under canvas at the Young Men's Camp at Douglas, relate an amusing experience It is a custom with campers to bestow on their temporary domiciles laughable names, such as The Idlers' Tent," The Tramps' Hotel," The Black Hole," being characteristic samples of their holiday humour. Our three Rhonddaites, being perfervid Welshmen, naturally drew upon the mother tongue, and the name finally decided upon as being sufficiently poetical and appropriate was Y Bwthyn," which was immediately in- scribed above the entrance. The words were, of course, so much Greek to their Lancashire and Yorkshire neighbours, and early one morning two braw lads from Cottonopolis were observed to be survey- ing the mystic characters in puzzled wonderment. Whoy says one, it looks loike Yorkshire Brewery." No," says the other, with evident signs of re- lief, Oi maiks it oot to be 'Why be within?'" Shortly after, some wag had scrawled in sprawling characters under- neath the name, "Why be without?" Even the man in the street" must have noticed during the last few weeks that drunkenness is increasing alarmingly in Cwmparc. What, makes the, fact pathetic is that the ranks of the tipplers are being consistently recruited by the frailer sex. Latterly, women walk unconcernedly through the portals of the public-houses and later they flaunt their inebriety shamelessly in the face of passers-by and in open daylight. Surely, local social conditions are pining for reform, and that immediately. CARRIAGE WORKS, MORGAN STREET, PONTYPRIDD, for all kinds of Pleasure Traps, and Business Carts.
