LADIES and Gentlemen,—The time will soon be here when you will be called upon to choose a Representative for- your Division on the County Council. I beg to offer myself for re-election. During the six years that I have had the honour of representing you I have endeavoured, to the utmost of my ability, to serve you faithfully, and should you return me, for the third time, I'will continue to do so. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, R. OWEN PERROTT, Bronhyddon, 21st, Feb., 1898. MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LLANDYSSIL AND LLANMEREWIG DIVISION. LADIES and Gentlemen,—I ask you to accept my grateful thanks for the support you have kindly afforded me for the many years I have represented you on the Council, and I venture to express a hope that I may be honoured once more by its continuance at the election which is ap- approaching.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE DIVISION OF LLANDINAM. LADIES and Gentlemen,—As you will be called upon to elect a representative to our County Council, I beg to place my services at your disposal. I have been a large ratepayer in this Parish for the last thirty years, and during that period I have taken some part in its public life. As you are aware we are chiefly an agricultural community, and as a farmer of some experience I venture to hope that if elected I should be able to interpret your wishes and further your interest on the Council. You will have observed that large sums are voted by the County Council for developing undertakings of a distinctly speculating nature at the northern end of the County, and it behoves us at the southern end to carefully scrutinize all such votes and see that individual industry and properties are not developed at our expense. While regretting the death of our late able repre- sentative should render an 'election necessary, I ask your cordial support of my candidature. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Dolhafren, DAVID DAVIES. Feb., 21st, 1898. MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTION TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LLAN- GURIG DIVISION.

In response to invitations emanating from all sections of the electorate and in view of the generous and hearty support accorded to me when I last contested the seat, I have determined to again seek the distinc- tion of being your representative. My devotion to the interests of the parish is well known, and should you do me the honour vf electing me, it will be my constant effori to discharge my duties in such a way as to best promote the welfare of the constitu- ency, paying especial attention to all that pertains to Agriculture, and doing everything in my power to secure the economical and efficient administration of the affairs of the County. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Pantdrain, Llangurig, J. R. PRYSE. 23rd February, 1898. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LLANWNOG DIVISION OF THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL. LADIES and Gentlemen,—Nine years ago we struck up an acquaintance which as hitherto remained unbroken. Some, whose opinion, I value, think our relations, at present at any rate, should not be disturbed. If you are generally of this mind, I am ready to fall in with the arrangement. Yours faithfully, RICHARD JONES. Pertheirin, Feb. 17th, 1898. ELECTION ADDRESSES. MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE GUILSFIELD DIVISION OF THE BOROUGH OF WELSHPOOL.

I have at all times voted for such measures as I thought beneficial for the welfare of the whole County, and particularly for your Division, and if you honour me again by re-election, I will, to the best of my ability, endeavour to -discharge the duties faithfully. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, DAVID RICHARDS. MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL. To THE ELECTORS OF THE MACHYNLLETH DIVISION.

I need hardly remind you of my attachment to the Town of Machynlleth and its neighbourhood, or of the deep interest that I take in the development of all local resources. I am most anxious to improve the prosperity of our Town in every way, and will therefore do all in my power, if returned as your representative, to secure adequate contributions from the County Council to enable us to keep our Main Strests in thorough repair. I fully realise the necessity of a New Police Station and Court House worthy of this Ancient Borough. I thoroughly appreciate the necessity of the spread of Technical Education if we are tQ hold our own in the face of foreign competition. Believing that Agriculture is, and must always be, our staple industry, I will endeavour to secure the help that good and practical lectures on the most modern methods of Dairying, Butter-maki; -and other Agricultural topics, can supply. al. I will do all I can to promote all possible economy, combined with efficiency, in the despatch of County business, and will give all the support in my power to everv measure that will promote the welfare of the County and of this district in particular.
