Tyiorstown.
Tyiorstown. Tylorstown people will be sorry to Lear of the intending departure of Mr. J. E. Jones, grocer, Hendrefadog. No trades- man or citizen is more highly respected by the inhabitants of the place than Mr. Jones. He has been a deacon at Eben- ezer Welsh Congregational Church for many years, and his departure from the district will be felt most keenly by the said church, of which he has not only been a deacon, but a most earnest and enthu- siastic worker. For a number of years he represented Tylorstown upon the late School Board of the Rhondda. -+--+--+- There has been a great deal of con- troversy with regard to the advisability of the Miners' Federation affiliating with the L.R.C. It has been the burning ques- tion in the colliery districts for the past few weeks. Much has been said for and against joining. The result, which was issued last week, shows that- the majority of the workmen are in favour of affilia- tion. The workmen employed at Nos. 6, 7 and 8 Collieries, Tylorstown, decided by a very small majority of 30 to affiliate, The votes recorded were 600 for, and 570 against. -+- On Sunday last, the pulpit of Eibenezer Welsh Congregational Church was occupied by the Rev. J. H. Rees, A.T.S., Burry Port, Carmarthenshire, who delivered excellent discourses morning and evening to crowded congregations. -+--+--+- We note with pleasure that Miss Mary J. Thomas, 23, Pleasant View, has passed as pupil teacher under the Rhondda. Edu- cation Committee at the recent examina- tion conducted by Dr. Chalke, Porth. Miss Thomas has been appointed to Tylorstown Infants' School. Miss Edith Maud Thomas, 174, East Road, Tylors- town, a candidate of the Fernclale Secon- dary School, passed the Committee's examination last year, and has been appointed to Tylorstown Girls' School.

Ferndale.I
Ferndale. Keen regret is felt here at the death of Gwilym James, son of Mr. William James (Eos Morganwg), Porth, A young van salesman in the employ of Messrs. Morgans, flannel merchants, Porth, with an extensive connection in Ferndale and district, deceased had made a consider- able number of friends, and was extremely popular. A few of the most intimate of his acquaintances attended the funeral, which took place on Thursday last, at Aberdare Cemtery. -+--+- At Cheltenham, on Thursday last, an inquest was held on the body of John Thomas Irvin (24), of Hesters Way, Chel- tenham, who died in the local hospital. Moses Price, of Blaenllechau, Ferndale, said that on June 29th, while at work in Ferndale Colliery, he and deceased were engaged in opening out the face of a stall, when a large stone fell, striking deceased on his back. The roof was only 2ft. Sin. high. Mr. Rees Morgan, fireman of the district, gave evidence that the seam was properly inspected before the men went to work. The pit was owned by Messrs. Davis & Sons, of Cardiff. Deceased died a month after the accident in the hos- pital from a broken back and compression of the spinal cord. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." -+--+- The deceased had expressed a desire to be taken from his lodgings at Blaen- llechau to the hospital near his home at Cheltenham, and a large number of his friends volunteered to take him there; but, unfortunately, he lived only for a fortnight after his admission to the In- firmary. This sad sequel emphasises more than ever the necessity of providing in colliery districts convenient institutions wherein serious cases of accidents can be properly dealt with. It is rather astound- ing that, in a district otherwise progres- sive, so much indifference is displayed by the public in a matter of such humane importance'. We have an admirable insti- tution in the Cardiff Infirmary, but even that does not fulfil the requirements of our mining valleys, as the taking of a patient from a distance involves addi- tional pain and also the fatigue of a long railway journey. Who will be the pioneer to make a move in this much-needed reform P Great interest centred in the Ferndale slander action which was decided last week at the Swansea Assizes in a verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. John Williams. With- out entering into the pros and cons of the case, doubtless everyone will be ready to admit that it is really essential that the best feeling possible should exist between officials and workmen engaged in a great industry. This is necessary to the well- being of a social life which makes it pos- sible, as is very often the case, for officials and employees to work hand in hand in circles outside those of ordinary trade. The best interests of Capital and Labour are served by the individual official and workman entertaining; that just respect for each other which is due from man to man. The litigants in this case are looked upon by the general public in Ferndale as two admirable and useful members of society, who, fortunately or unfortunately, are both endowed with a strong fighting instinct." We congratulate the one upon making such a courageous fight, and the other for ''facing the music." It is worthy of note that Mr. A. T. James (of Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas, Pontypridd), who acted for Mr. Williams, deserves great credit for his skilful conduct of the case throughout. He has conducted a case at every Assize since he qualified, and on each occasion success has crowned his efforts. We ven- ture to predict that Mr. James, who has years on his side, will reach the topmost rungs of the profession he already so richly adorns. Ferndale is to receive a visit from some crack" English cricketers on Saturday next, August 18th, when the home team will have pitted against them the Lanca- shire Nomads. This team consists of good all-round players, and is considered the best that has ever visited the Rhondda. The Ferndale team will be assisted by Fletcher, Cardiff; Pawson, Pontypridd; E,. Hall, Pentre; and Bennett (pro.), Aberaman. Wickets will be pitched at 11.30 a.m., and play will continue until 6.30 p.m. Luncheon will be provided from 1.30 to 2.35.

Treorchy.'!
Treorchy. The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Jones, aged 50, of 15, New Chapel Street, widow of the late John Jones, took place at Treorchy Cemetery on. Saturday last, amidst manifestations of intense grief. Deceased leaves nine children to mourn her loss, and the scene at the graveside was very pathetic. The Rev. W. Morris, D.D.. Noddfa, and the Rev. W. M. Jones, Horeb, officiated at the house and at the graveside. Several wreaths were sent by deceased's neighbours, one being from Mr. and Mrs. Jonah Lewis (builder), and another from Misses Ethel Maud, Yearllais, and Matilda Jones. Amongst the mourners were all deceased's children, Mr. Evan Jones and family (Howard Street), Mr. Daniel Jones and family (Dumfries Street), Mr. John Rees (carpenter), and deceased's brothers. The funeral arrange- ments were conducted by Mr. Jonah Lewis, builder and undertaker.

TreaEaw. We are extremely pleased to notice that amongst the works selected f ().i, ex- hibition at the South Kensington Art Gallery is a finely executed life-size bust of St. George, by Mr. Phil. Leek, sculp- tor, Trealaw. The merit of this achieve- ment can be better appreciated when it is stated that-it is a. national competition and works, are sent from any School of Art in the United Kingdom, and only prize winners are honoured by having their works selected for public exhibition. Mr. Leek has also obtained during the last few days a certificate from the Board of Education for modelling from the antique. It will be remembered that this local artist was awarded first prize in sculpture in the last National Eisteddfod.

Di nas.
Di nas. During the Bank-Holidays there were but few exceptions here who did not take advantage of the ideal weather, the cheap fares and the opportunities of spending a day or two at the seaside. The Dinas Mission Church Sunday School made a trip to Weston the Calvinistic Methodist Sunday School spent a. day at Barry and J the Primitive Methodists' School enjoyed themselves at Aberavon. In each instance the day was thoroughly enjoyed, but the inconveniences of returning home greatly marred the pleasures of the holiday. Y d'od i nol sy'n spoalia'r sport i gyd, Hi ddyla bara'n ddwr y mor o hyd." The Rev. D. F. Watkins, the famous Mexican missioner, has recently spent a few weeks at Garth Meulwg Well, re- cuperating his health, which had been seriously affected through arduous mental labours and the fatigues of continual travelling many thousands of miles during the past three years. His graphic stories of the deplorable condition of the Inca Indians have been published by Dr. Harry Guinness, entitled The. Tragic Story of the Inca Indians of Peru/' in which appears an excellent portrait of Mr. Wat- kins and his companion, Senor Forga, one of, if not the greatest, intellectual powers of Southern America, who is, now an exile as a result of the great sacrifices he has made in time and money in the aggressive part which he has taken against the tyranny of the Roman Catholic Church, and in favour of religious liberty. Mr. D. F. Watkins submitted a, plan at Harley House for the protection of the Inca people. His proposal takes the form of land purchase, about 40 square miles, which can be procured very cheaply in Peru and Bolivia, which could be utilised as a harbour of refuge for the poor Indians. The Regions Beyond Missionary Union has determined to adopt the plan, and has selected Dr. Harry Guinness as secretary and promoter of the movement. It is most enthusiastically supported by a large body of influential persons in London, who are interested in missionary work. The veteran missioner and Senor Forga give emphatic assurances that such a refuge will be gladly availed of by the Incas, and they hope to establish schools and mission rooms where they can con- veniently educate the children without fear of being molested. Mr. D. F. Watkins will address two meetings in the locality during the next week, and a. re- union of his old friends and acquaintances will also take place before he leaves for his "beloved Mexico," for which he has done so much. May Wales again send forth many such noble-spirited servants to the great harvest field. Pontygwaith. It gives us pleasure to note that Miss Elizabeth J. Jones, 55, Brewery Street, and Mr. Morgan Rees, 81, Llewellyn Street, have passed the examination held by the Rhondda- Education Committee for qualifying as pupil teachers. The former has been appointed to Pontygwaith Infants' School, while the latter has been appointed to Pontygwaith Mixed School. .+- A meeting of the creditors of William Hughes, collier, 75, Madeline Street, Pontygwaith, was held at Merthyr on Thursday. Debtor returned his liabilities at £ 112 18s., and his assets at £13, the deficiency being £ 99 18s., which he attri- buted to heavy family expenses, pressure by creditors, and County Court expenses.

Cwm pare.
Cwm pare. The touch of tragedy which seems in- evitably to mar the happiness of the holiday season in every locality was ex- perienced by Cwmpare residents in the drowning of a little lad, Dickie Edwards, aged 13, son of Mr. Humphrey Edwards, 144, Park Road, on Wednesday of last week at Aberavon. Deceased was one of the most faithful scholars attending Station Road English Methodist Sunday School, and he went with an excursion promoted by that body to Aberavon Sea- side. Bathing on a spot marked dan- gerous," and accompanied only by a boy of his own age, he got into trouble on a piece of quicksand, and was very soon drawn under. Although the upper part of the beach was crowded, no one was at hand to rescue him, and the first inti- mation of his disappearance was conveyed to his parents by the' boy who was with him. and who narrowly escaped himself. True to their traditions, the dozens of holiday-making colliers who were soon on the spot made heroic efforts by diving to rescue the body, and several imperilled their lives in the frantic search. The parents were, naturally, consumed with anguish, and the sight of their distress evoked the deepest and most widespread sympathy. It was with difficulty the bereaved mother was torn from the spot ana taken home, while the father re- mained, stunned and woebegone, vainly hoping for the bare consolation of recover- ing the body. It was' a tragic happening, and what added to its pathos was the fact that the boy's body was not recovered until Sunday. The lad, Dickie, was very. popular with his mates. He had just gone successfully through the labour examina- tion at his school, and on the Monday following his death he had intended com- mencing to work. The body was brought home to Cwmparc on Monday last, and the huge crowd that gathered at the station, and subsequently at the funeral, snowed how deeply the neighbours shared in the sorrow of the family. Very pathetic were the circumstances attending the death of Stephen Meredith, a, young married man, formerly living at 37, Park Road. Some months ago he was injured oil the head by a, horse, his work being; that of a haulier. After a day's in- activity he resumed work, thinking the results of his accident were only slight; but later, there were serious developments, and medical examination disclosed the base of his brain to have been affected. Every effort was made to promote his recovery, and he attended at Cardiff Infirmary. On Friday last he was taken on a visit to his mother's house, at C'aerau, Maesteg, and while there he suddenly succumbed. He leaves a young wife and four small children, and the deepest sym- pathy is felt for them in- their bereave- ment. The funeral, which took place at Treorchy Cemetery on Wednesday, was very largely attended. The Cwmpare Air Rifle Club has now been formally established as the result of a successful public meeting held at, Park Hall on Friday evening last, Mr. Ben Rees, manager, Dare, occupying the chair. Mr. H. R. Jenkins was unani- mously elected president of the club, and strong list of vice-presidents was also elected. The following, were chosen as a committee; -Messrs. Ben Rees, G. A. Lewis, H. G. Prosser, R. Fudge, S. i-uttley, J. Evans (b), Ben Morgan, and D. Price, the last-named also undertaking tne secretaryship. The Committee of the Institute have allowed the use of the Park Hall for the "butts." The Cwmparc Silver Band intend hold- ing a first-class band contest on the Ystradfechan Grounds early in October.. The idea is a good one, and if it, material- ises successfully, should result in a sub- stantial addition to the funds, which are in strong need of support. Mr. Taylor, the bandmaster, is throwing an immense amount of energy into his work as secre- tary, and is backed by an influential com- I mittee. -+- Strenuous holiday-makers are once more returning to their native heath, among the first to arrive being the adventurous pair who did" Switzerland and Gay Paree. Several diverting incidents have fallen to their lot, and not the least in- teresting chapter in an up-to-date "Tramp Abroad" would be one entitled Purse- less at Paddington," with Polly, a 'tec., and Old Nick as dramatic personse. An account of the search for lost treasure up the slopes of Mount Pilatus would also make interesting reading, and, no doubt, from a humorous point of view, compare favourably with Mark Twain's exciting ride on a glacier. The following little episode is, perhaps, worth recounting. Seated at table d'hote in Lucerne, our two travellers heard two of their neigh- bours remarking yn yr hen iaith (their aspect proclaimed them of the Cymry) tnax it was a bit of orlright" being able to converse in a language which none else understood. A whispered Taw phia i, boys," brought about their downfall, and made them reflect that in these hustling times the Cymro shares the ubiquitous- ness of the Scotchman.

ISVlertiiyr News.
SVlertiiyr News. We print to-day a piece of news, which will, we feel sure, prove of the utmost interest to many of our readers. Even if Merthyr were far away the news would be good, but it is all the better coming from near by, for the truth of it can easily be tested. Mrs. M. A. Jones, 2, Pondside, Mer- thyr, says: Fo,i- over six years I was a martyr to kidney troubles and rheu- matism. I had sharp pains in my back, particularly when I stooped, and some- times I could hardly straighten my back. I was also troubled with dizzy spells, and little specks seemed to be floating before my eyes. "I got very irritable, and I could not sleep at night. In the mornings I used to feel tired, and my joints were quite stiff. rearing that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were a, special medicine for kidney trouble, I got some to try, and from the first I found relief from them. I con- tinued with the pills for some time, and I am glad to say they cured me. I am better in every way now, and I have only Doan's Pills to thank for my good health. (Signed) Mary A. Jones." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills—the special kidney medicine-give the sick kidneys just the help needed. They drive out of the body all the liquid poisons, giving freedom of action and new life to the kidneys, and ridding the blood of the impurities which spoil your sleep at night, and which make you feel drowsy, heavy and heartless all day. Thus, by bringing the kidneys back to health, the genuine, Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cure the cause of Bright's disease, dropsy, urinary disorders, gravel, rheumatism, stone, sciatica, nervous ills and depression. They also counteract the harmful effects of beer, spirits and tea. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and nine- pence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).

-_---Cuts and Bruises.
Cuts and Bruises. First-Aid for all the Family in a Handy Box ot Zam-Buk. Accidents will happen even in the best regulated families. Healthy youngsters seem to be always in the wars cook- ing and cleaning abound, with mishaps for busy housewives and harassed mothers; and father often returns from work with a more or less serious injury. Just what every home needs is Zam- Buk. A box and a bandage on a handy shelf, where they are ready for instant use, save untold pain, time, and money. The little ones like Zam-Buk because it is so cooling, soothing, and pleasant. Parents like it because it is also anti- septic, preventing poisoning, or festering; because it is a natural skin-repairer, grow- ing new tissue in Nature's way; and because it is good for the tenderest skin, being made, of pure skin medicines, ex- tracted from rich herbs. Miss M. Gilbert, of The Billet, Ash, Wrotham, Kent, writes:— I have used Zam-Buk successfully for cuts on hands, and my father's badly cut foot was healed in three days by the balm. No home. should be without a box of Zam-Buk." Miss Watson, of Yew Tree Farm, Barbon Midclleton, near Kirkfey Lons- dale, writes: -"I have suffered dreadfully from cuts, bruises, and burns, but have found Zam-Buk to be a great, healer. I was one day chopping sticks and cut my finger very badly. I also burnt myself very much while baking, and another day bruised myself very badly while doing my housework. Zam-Buk was quite success- ful in each case."

Wedding.
Wedding. DAVIES-ROWLANDS. St. Anne's Cirftrch, Ynyshir, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Thurs- day last, when Mr. A. Davies, Haverford- west, and of the Co-operative Stores, Ynyshir, was married to Miss Annie Row- lands, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs- Rees Rowlands, draper, Ynyshir. l"e Rev. S.

They were made the recipients of a number of useful presents.
-------Cardiff Empire.
Cardiff Empire. Bella and Bijou top the bill at the Cardiff Empire next week. Mr. Bert Bijou told a good story against himself the other night. One day last week; accompanied by his daughter, who is quite as tall as papa, the popular little comedian took a trip on a river steamer. During the journey Bijou, together with his daughter, visited the refreshment saloon and asked for a couple of bottles of ginger beer. A motherly old lady pre* sided at the bar, and in response to_ bis order, observed, All right, my little darlings; I'll serve you in a, minute." The matronly barmaid went on dis- pensing refreshment to everyone but Bijou and his daughter. After a while, Bert repeated his request for ginger beer. Now be a good boy and don't worry,' was the only answer he could get.. At last he was served, and then the lady behind the bar calmly said, "Run up on deck for me, like a good boy, and ask the mate to send me clown a tin of biscuits. Bijou laughingly says, I cheerfully became her errand boy, but while I away my daughter informed the elderly bar tender of her mistake, so I was enabled to enjo" her confusion on my return.. In the same bill figure Spry and Monti, Bisera Troupe, Harry Grey, Cabarets Dogs, Herbert Clifton, and others.
