ABERYSTWYTH1 St. Michaels…
ABERYSTWYTH 1 St. Michaels Vestry. The annual Vestry Meeting of St. Michael's Church was held on Friday evening, the Rev. J. E. Lloyd, curate-in-charge, pre- siding. The Chairman, at the outset, said it was a great responsibility to preside over a parish of that kind, which was undoubtedly unique in many respects, but that respon- sibility was made lighter by the hearty co- operation and sympathy extended to him by the laity of the church, and by the two churchwardens in particular. Looking backward a few months, the Lenten ser- vices had be211 very well attended, and the utterances of neighbouring clergy were much appreciated. The services on Sunday were very well attended, and the number of communicants large, but he did not lay much stress on numbers. With regard to the finances of the parish he knew but little indeed. The vestry would be ajourned for a time, when the financial position of the parish would be put before them. He should like to express his sincere thanks to Mr. Wynne and Mr. Ellis Morgan for the way they had carried out their duties, the parishioners greatly appreciating their efforts. The Churchwardens. Regarding the appointment of Church- wardens, Mr. Gough asked Mr. Ellis Mor- gan to express his view of the advisability of having the same wardens every year. Proceeding, Mr. Gough said, there was not the interest taken by the male part of the congregation in Church matters as they might do, as that small attendance that evening testified. He himself did not think it was in the interest of the church that the same wardens should be continually in office, and he found that expressed pretty freely in the town, but as there was a new figure coming among them this year, he appreciated a great deal the argument that the same two should be in office this year again. Mr. Thomas Owen suggested that the meeting be adjourned, so that more might attend, and the question then discussed. The Chairman said that could not be done, as there had been a legal notice .served of the meeting. Mr. Ellis Morgan replying to Mr. Gough said it was not desirable that the same -warden should be appointed year after year. This was the first vestry meeting Mr. Gough had attended. Well, he might say that he (Mr. Morgan) had endeavoured re- peatedly, time after time. to give room to somebody else. In the last vestry or the last but one, he had absented himself from the vestry, thinking that his presence there was unpleasant for those who wished a change, but with the same result, and he was asked to take the office again. He believed this would be his 22nd year of office, and that was a pretty long time. He assured them he would be appreciably re- lived by being released from the duty. Untoward circumstances, the death of two Vicars within a comparatively short period of time had involved a tremendous amount of work upon them. He had been reading law lately, and he believed if a warden was appointed, he was bound to take office. The Chairman said the matter had been discussed in 1905, when Mr. Morgan then wrote a letter intimating his desire to resign. Mr. Gough said he was not saying any- thing personally against the two wardens. It was against the principle that he fought. Mr. John Morgan asked Mr. Ellis Morgan whether he was not paralysing the activi- ties of the Church by accepting the office again, though a better one they could not expect to have. He favoured the suggestion of Mr. Owen that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Hugh Richards thought that under the present circumstances that it would .not be of any advantage to have a change. Mr. John Morgan said three years ago, one great reason for re-electing Mr. Ellis Morgan was that the Church had not been completed. Now with the new Vicar com- ing, he thought it a good reason that a change be made. Let the Vicar start with new men. Mr. Gough then proposed that Mr. Ellis Morgan be re-elected the peoples' warden for the coming twelve months. He did not agree with Mr. John Morgan as to swapping J the horses. The new Vicar would need all the assistance available. Mr. Hugh Richards seconded, and this was carried by a majority. Mr. E. P. Wynne was also re-elected as "Vicar's warden. Mr. Wynne said he wished to endorse what Mr. Morgan had said. He had attained to %his majority in the office, having now been in it for 21 years, and he had wished to retire in favour of somebody elso last year. With regard to going on for this year, they were in a fix, as it was very difficult to change horses in the middle of the stream. He and Mr. Morgan had had a vast amount of work to do, Mr. Morgan having to take charge of the Church finances and himself of the school finances. Besides there was the continual correspond- -ence with the Education Authority and the Board of Education in London, which re- quired a statement of accounts, and the balances on all hands, and taking all these into consideration he thought it better to continue in office for another year, as they would have a new vicar. Mr. Ellis Morgan thanked the vestry for re-electing him. At the present juncture it was a wise thing. Personally he was anxious that they should be re-appointed. One of the greatest disadvantages of being a warden was to have to attend so early before the commencement of the service, and in this he thought he was making a sacrifice. Sidesmen. Mr. Hugh Richards wished to retire from being a sidesman and asked what were the qualification; of being a sides- man. Mr. Gough said he had been used to seeing six sidesmen rppointed by the Vicar and six by the people. Mr. Thomas Owen proposed and Mr. Worthing seconded, that all the sidesmen be re-elected, and this was agreed to, the names of Mr. Camnb11 Thomas and Mr. Pickard being added to the list. Mr. Ellis Morgan said he should like to I see the work of sidesmen done by rota. The Chairman, in reply to questions, stated that the rota adopted at the St. Mary's Church worked remarkably well. On the proposition of Mr. Ellis Morgan, a small committee was appointed to devise a rota, this committee to consist of Mr. C P Lloyd, Mr Gough, Mr Wm Jones, Ropewalk and Mr. Thomas Owen, Llanbad- arn Road. arn Road. The Late Vicar. On the suggestion of the Chairman it was decided to put on record of the vestry book of the death of their late Vicar. Mr. Mathews, and the loss sustained thereby. Vote of Sympathy. On the motion of Mr. Hugh Richard. seconded by Mr. B .E Morgan, v. vote of sympathy was parsed with Mr. John Jones, Mill street, in his pi-o-t-fi,t-ed The Organ In Danger. Mr. R E. Morgan said that the ques- -tion of the organ was a mo-t pressing one. They had spent something like £ 900 on it already. For some reason or other when I the Church was built, no provision was made for the location of the organ Perhaps he did not fulfil his duty on the Building Committee when the Church was built, for he did not attend any meeting because he was not in favour of the project, as he wanted the old Church to be restored. The organ had been located where it was to-day. The results of placing the organ in that place, over the boiler or the heating appa- ratus were such that the organ was being gradually spoilt. The wood work was cracking. That was a serious thing and it behoved them to move in the matter of preserving it. They had been making en- quiries as to what was best to be done, the organist being much in favour of having it in^the gallery. That was generally done nowadays, and it worked very well. They had measured the gallery and they found there was plenty of room for the organ there. The obstacles in the way of th's was when they would have a peal of bells j on the belfry, how were they to get the bell ropes to work suitably when the organ was fixed in the gallery, but they could get out of that difficulty by having tubular bells instead. He had received a commu- nication in reply to enquiries made, from the firm which had supplied the organ, to the effect that a complete removal would be done at a cost of £117. but excluding the putting in position of the organ pedal, diapason the work might be done at £ 65. Mr. Panchen said he had advocated the shifting of the organ not only because of its being above the heating apparatus but also that its tone would be considerably improved by removing it to the gallery. As to the cost, it was not absolutely ne- cessary to put in the open pedal diapason at present, so the work could be reasonably I done at 1;65. If it were shifted the organ would improve" a hundred per cent. not inly, in power but in tone and quality. On the motion of Mr. Ellis Morgan,, a ¡ small committee wa appointed -to look into the matter and report to the adjourn- ed Vestry, and that the committee should consult expert opinion. The committee consisted oi ir. Hugh Hughes, Mr Thomas j (stationmavter), Mr. Gough, Capt. Fossett Roberts, the Churchwardens, and the Or- i ganist. Vote of Thanks. I Mr. Thomas Owen proposed, Mr Hugh Richards, seconded, and Mr. Ellis Morgan supported a vote of thanks to the Chairman of the evening, Mr. Ellis Morgan saying that Mr Lloyd worked to the detriment of II his health. Heavy duties had devolved upon him lately, and they were very grateful to him for doing them so well. The vote was carried unanimously. Adjourned Vestry. The adjourned meetng will be held on the 22nd of May, when the finances will be presented. Mr. Ellis Morgan said they were in a most satisfactory state at pre- sent.
St. Mary's Vestry.
St. Mary's Vestry. A VEXED QUESTION OF SATS. The annual Vestry meeting of the St. Mary's Welsh Church was held at the Ys- goldy on Thursday evening last, there be- ing but a sparse attendance. The Rev. J. E. Lloyd, B.D., presided. I The Chairman, in his opening remarks, said that was the second time a gap was noticed in their ranks. He was in the chair at the time of the death of Archdeacon Pro- theroe, and that night again the vestry was held without a vicar, it was true a vicar had been appointed, but he would not be installed until the T3ch of May by the Bis- hop of St. David's. Proceeding, the Chair- man wished to than the two curchwardens for the way they had carried out their duties. They had a duty to perform, but the work for the last years had been most creditably done. It was not an easy work; if one did his duty, for if one did, he was sure to clash against somebody. To please everybody could be very easily done by clos- ing one's eye to his duties, but in Mr Evan-, and Mr. Davies they had two who had car- ried out their duties exceptionally well. (Hear, hear). They took great interest in the Welsh Church, and had helped him in every possible way, and without this sym- pathy his position would be hard indeed. He was pleased to say that the sympathy also of all the two churches had been ex- tended to him, especially of the Welsh Church. The sidesmen also had done their work well, and he thought the rota which had been in existence now for the last two or three years was working satisfactorily. The Church of the future depended on the laymen, and the time was coming when the laymen of the Church would have to take a greater share in its activities, and it was only by so doing that success could be en- sured. Appointment of Churchwardens. Mr. Evans, the Vicar's warden, begged leave to retire as he had been in the office for four years.—The Chairman said that it was desirable that one of the existing war- dens should continue in office, the more so now that the new vicar was about to be ap- pointed. He would like to see Mr. W. C. Davies, now the people's warden, appointed vicar's warden.—Mr. John Thomas having been proposed as the people's warden, Mr. Davies and Mr. Thomas were unanimously appointed. Votes of Thanks. A vote of thanks was accorded to the ladies who had given flowers to the altar. They had gone, said the Chairman, to some cost in providing flowers in winter. A vote of thanks was also accorded to persons wdio cost in providing flowers in winter. A vote of thanks was also accorded to persons who had given subscribtions towards the Com- munion, etc., viz., Miss Griffiths, Gwyndu; Miss Williams, Northgate-street; Mrs. J. T. Davies. Bronygan; Mr. James (jun.), Mantteg, North parade; and also to the Itev. Gwilym Smith, who had delivered addresses during Lent.— In proposing a vote of thanks to the choir, which it was stated was in a more flourishing condition now than for years past, the the Chairman said it was an auspicious sign to see young people attending the Thursday and Sunday morning services. It showed they took an abiding interest in the work, and also to the conductor (Mr. J. Ceredig Davies) had an influ- ence upon them. The singing improved every Sunday, and the choir deserved every I encouragement.—Mr. Morris and Mr. Jones were re-appointed secretaries of the Curates' Special Fund, and a vote of thanks was passed to them for their past services. Thinks were also accorded Miss Morgan, Penparke, for the way she had taught the I children at Penparke School. It was, the Chairman remarked, the most successful school in the Union. 1\ Sidesmen. All the sidesmen acting at present were re-elected, wit to addition of Mr. D. W. Evans, Mr. Jenkin Thomas, Buarth-road, and Mr. George Griffiths, Gogerddan Cot- tages. The New Vicar. It was agreed that an expression in fav- our of arranging a reception for the new Vicar be carried to the St. Michael's Vestry meeting, to be held the night following. Auditors. Mr. Clayton Thomas and Mr. Thompson, were appointed auditors. The yearly ac- counts will be presented at an adjourned

Aberystwyth Board of Guardians.
Aberystwyth Board of Guardians. The annual meeting of the Aberystwyth Board of Guardians was held on Monday at the Hoard Room, Union Workhouse, when there were present Mr. David Jones, Llany- chaiarn (retiring chairman); Mrs. Morgan, Penllwyn; Mrs. James, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Davies, Rev. T. A. Penry, Messrs. Edwin Morns, B. E. Morgan, and Wm. Thomas, Aberystwyth; Messrs. Richard Thomas, Bow Street; John Richards and David James, Trefeirig; Sinnett Jones, Llanrhystyd; T. James, Cynnullmawr; E. J. Evans, Llan- gwyryfon; W. T. Lewis, Borth; Rev John Davies and E. J. Williams, Ceulanymaes- mawr; David Jones, Llanbadarn Lower; Joseph Parry, Goginan; J. P.

Oliver Jones, Llan- fihangel Upper; John Davies, Llanfihangel LoweT; Isaac Jones and David Williams, Llanilar; and L. R. Lewis, Vaenor Upper; with Hugh Hughes (clerk), E. Llewellin (assistant clerk), and W. Jones (master). The New Chairman. Mr. Richard Thomas proposed that the Rev. N. Thomas, Llanbadarn, last year's vice-chairman; be appointed chairman for the ensuing year.—Mr. David James sec- onded, and this was unanimously carried. The Vice-Chairman. Mr. E. J. Evans proposed Ir. David James ,Trefeirig, as vice-chairman. He he did so in accordance with an ar- rangement agreed to in 1894, whereby the vice-chairman was appointed from the three districts of the Union iD rotation according to the representation of those districts. Mr. Evans said that if this rule was not satis- factory to the Aberystwyth district it was open to the members to apply to the County Council for an increase.—Mr. E. J. Williams seconded.—The Rev. T. A. Penry said he had no personal objection to Mr. James, but he did not think it right to pass over men who had been members of the Board for twelve years because of some arrange- ment agreed upon 12 or 15 years ago. No one had been more faithful than Mr. Edwin Morris, but he had been passed by for mem- bers who had only been on the Board for five years.—Mr. Richard Thomas said_ there were others from the town who had been members quite as long as Mr. Morris. There was Capt. Roberts, for instance.—Rev. T. A. Penry said if the old arrangement was ad- hered to some of the town members would have to be members of the Board for twenty years before they would have a chance of succeeding to the chair.—Mr. Joseph Parry said he saw no reason why they should ad- here to these old arrangements, as they stultified themselves by doing so. He proposed that Mr. Edwin Morris be ap- pointed vice-chairman.—Mr. B. E. Morgan seconded.—On a division 8 voted for Mr. Morris and 11 for Mr. James. Mr. James was ultimately unanimously appointed.— Mr. James, on taking the chair in the ab- sence of the new chairman, said he hoped with the co-operation of the Board to carry out the duties of his office satisfactorily. Assessment Committee. The following were re-elected members of the Assessment Committee :—Messrs. Edwin Morris, E. J. Evans, G. F. Roberts, B. E. Morgan, Wm. Thomas, John Bonner, T. Oliver Jones, David Jones (Llanychaiarn), W. T. Lewis and John Richards. Mr. E. J. Williams was appointed in place of the Rev. John Davies and Mr. J. P. Lewis in place of Mr. Joseph Parry. Representatives. Mrs. Evan Evans, Mrs. Morgan, and Mr. E. J. Evans were appointed representatives of the Board to attend general meetings of the Aberystwyth Infirmary.—The Rev. N. Thomas was appointed to represent the Board at the Poor Law Conference to be held at Llandilo on the 5th and 6th of May. Vaccination Fees. Mr. E. J. Evans said the sub-committee appointed in the matter of the vaccination fees had had an interview with the medical officers, and he was pleased to say they had arrived at a settlement. It was now recom- mended that Dr. Bonsall be paid the same as efore for cases at the surgery, namely 2s. 6d. and 5s. for all cases outside the surg- ery., instead of 5s. for cases within two miles and 7,<; 6d. for cases beyond two miles as previously. For the country doctors it was recommended that 2s. 6d. be paid for cases at the surgery as heretofore, and 7s. 6d. for all cases outside instead of 8s. He pro- posed the adoption of the recommendations of the sub-committee.—Mr. John Richards seconded, and the proposition was unani- mously agreed to. Master's Report. The Master reported that the number in the House was 46, as compared with 52 in the corresponding period last year. During the past fortnight 115 vagrants were re- lieved as compared with 49 in the corres- ponding period last year. Return of Tramps. A return submitted by Chief Oontable Williams showed that during the quarter ending 31st March 560 tramps were relieved in the Aberystwyth Union as com- pared with 382 in the corresponding quarter of 1907. Out-Heref. The amount of out-relief administered during the past fortnight was as follows:— Per Mr. T. Morgan, £47 2s. to 129 paupers, a decrease of £1 13s. in amount and 9 in number as compared with the correspond- ing period last year, per Mr. J. J. Hughes. £48 6s 6d. to 139 paupers, an increase of £4 5s. 6d. in amount and 7 in number; per Mr. T. Vaughan, £6ï 3s. 6d. to 223 paupers, an increase of JE4 13s. 8d. in amount and 7 in number. A Goginan Case. A case of a woman and four children, liv- ing near Goginan, which has been before the Board on several occasions again came up for discussion. Grave complaints had been made of the state of the house, and it was also stated that the children were being neglected, and that they had to sleep on larch trees placed on the floor. The Guard- ians asked the police to visit the house, but their report was a fairly satisfactory one. and to the effect that the children were clean and well-fed. The Relieving Officer now reported that the house was not fit to live in, the windows being broken. There was no furniture or bed in the house, and the family slept on the floor. The Reliev- ing Officer also stated that the children were now in a very dirty state. There was no food in the house except some potatoes on the floor, and the children were living under worse conditions than that of pigs. One child, two years of age, was also scantily dressed.—The guardian lor the district said he had also visited the house, and he failed to see how the inspector of the Prevention of Cruelty Society could say the children were clean.—On the proposition of Mr. Edwin iniorris, it was uecided to send the Reliev- ing Officer's report to the police, the two guardians for the district being also asked to bring in a further report on the case. Remuneration. Mr. Edwia Morris said the Assessment Committee unanimously recommended a payment of 1:50 to Mr. Hugh Hughes for his services as clerk to the Assessment Com- mittee during the past year.—The recom- mendation was unanimously adopted.
A Full Sunday.
A Full Sunday. THE FOOD THAT HELPS A PREACHER. 'JL'.Ii ii U L: Ull. A busy Baptist preacher always does his best anu hardest Sunday work now on a simple diet of Grape-ISuts Food, which quite cured him a little while ago of a very severe attack of dyspepsia and nervous depression. He writes:— I have now used Grape-Nuts Food for' some time, ana lina mat it suits me better than anything I have ever taken. For two years I suffered distressing digestive spasms, and felt life quite a burden. Many a night on retiring I was in such a low way that I thought it scarcely possible to live till morn- ing. To sit long to read or study was a most painful experience. I tried without any success many patent medicines and suggested ren.edies, but, thank God! I have at last found a per- manent cure in Grape-Nuts Food. After taking Grape-Nuts for a few weeks I could sit and work for hours without any discom- fort. Not long since I was able on this simple food 10 preach twice, conduct a large Bible class, and give an address in the' open air, all on the same Sunday, without ex- periencing any ill effects from the heavy exertion and strain. I feel now stronger and more active than I have done for years past, and am deeply thankful for such a sustaining and digestible food as Grape- Nuts." Name given by Grape-Nuts Co., Ltd., 66, Shoe Lane London E.C. It's a mistake to take drugs for dyspepsia and nervous prostration. Grape-Nuts Food, which contains all the energising and nerve- building properties of best wheat and bar- ley, presented in a form particularly easy of digestion, is Nature's own cure for these distressing complaints. There's a reason for Grape-Nuts. The crisp, nutty Grape-Nuts Biscuits and Wafers just now on the market are a treat. Ask the grocer.

He was proceeding on horse- back through Drover's road when his horse shied, and felled him to the ground. He sustained a severe cut on the forehead, and having been attended by Dr. Abel Evans was taken home later in the day in a con- veyance. Obituary.-Mr. E. H. Culley, who, from 1891 to 1906, was headmaster of the Mon- mouth Grammar School, died somewhat suddenly on Tuesday week. He had been an invalid for some considerable time. After leaving the school the deceased went abroad for his health, but recently returned to Monmouth and resided at The Cells, Wyesham. He was born near Norwich, and gained distinction at Baliol College, Oxford. He was, for some time, on the professorial staff of St. David's College. The Proposed Light Railway.—As will be observed from the report of the Rural Dis- trict Council published elsewhere, the scheme for a proposed light railway between Lampeter and Aberayron is not yet dor- mant; but as far as the New Quay portion is concerned, it is dead. The scheme has been lingering for so many years that the public view ail rumours of its progress with a light air, and until the initial steps of construction are taken they will continue to retain such a view. The idea of extend- ing the line from Aberayron to New Quay has been shunned from the start, as the engineering difficulties were so expensive that the extension could never be expected to pay. As things now stand the pro- moters will be freed from the task of secur- ing the £ 70,000 required for the New Quay, and henceforth, they will only have to con- centrate their efforts in securing £ 80,000— probably les-whicii is the estimated cost of the thirteen mile railway to Aberayron. There should be no difficulty in raising this sum for the benefit which the district in general would derive should amply repay any sums which the various public bodies may subscribe. With the abolition of the New Quay scheme the promoters have now before them a final opportunity of showing to the public whether or not they intend proceeding with the railway. "Dalis Fairs."—Next wpek the town will be full of bustle and excitement; for it is the week of the great Dalis Fairs. During the past few years the fairs have managed to maintain a level standard, and an average of 140 loads of stock have been booked by trains. This is very encourag- ing, especially" when it is noted that other neighbouring- fairs are on the wane and as trade has been so bad at Carmarthen, Tregaron and Newcastle Eanlyn fairs, there will probably be a very large supply of horses. It is evident that it is now that the 'motor"' begins to make its impression upon fairs, for thousands of horses are be- ing denorted by the bus-proprietors in large cities at ridiculously low prices. The trade has now begun to assume such a con- dition that the Board of Agriculture has decided to appeal to the War Office to aid the trade by purchasing sufficient horses during peace time as will be required dur- ing war. This additional purchase would mean an outlay of £ 35,000. The depression, however has its moral, for it has aroused breeders to the importance of breeding better horses, a duty which has been preach- ed agricultural societies for generations with- out much success.

Hints on Baking. For scones and rolls- a very quick oven. For buns and small cakes- a rather quick oven. For large cakes— not quite so quick. For sponge cakes- a moderate oven. Leave cakes in tins for a few minutes before turning out. When preparing the dough always use Paisley Flour" —the sure raising powder. It is mixed 1 part with 8 parts of ordinary flour, and is easier to use than baking powder, and more certain in result—everything well raised and inviting. 7d. and 3%d. packets containing 1 many usejul recipes.

vestry meeting to be held a fortnight from this vestry. The Entrance to the Church. Mr. R. D. Jones raised the question when would this contract be finished. It was hanging on too much.—'Mr. D. W. Evans said the matter had been adjourned to see where the entrance would be.—The Chair- man stated the question was whether the entrance should be made opposite the door or a little further off.—The matter was left to the Building Committee to bring in a re- port to the adjourned meeting, the Chair- man being added to that committee. The Seats. The Chairman said there was one matter which had to be faced It was a very com- plicated subject. It seemed that many people who attended the Church had no seats, and no seats could be found them, while there were others who held seats who never attended church. Was it fair that there were members who wanted seats, while others who never attended, held them.—Mr D. W. Evans said something should be done. He himself was in favour of free seats.— The Chairman: I should like to see every church in the country free.—Mr. Thomson asked if it was not a. regulation that all seats were free after the second bell.— Several members were of that opinion.—The Chairman said they were losing people every year on acsount of this. He felt very strongly on the matter. It was a shame to see the centre aisle of the Parish Church empty at times. It was filled on Sunday mornings, for some people had a custom to attend in the morning and .stayed away in the evening. In reply to questions, he said that those people paid for their seats, but they might ask them to give up their seats hv yiving them notice beforehand. He thought the matter should be considered before the next vestry.—Mr. R. D. Jones said it was not a rule to compel people to givo up their seats in either church or chapel Those people who stayed away paid for their .seats.—-Mr. D. W. Evans: But it is wrong in principle.—The Chairman remarked that he had known some people who, after en- tering the church, had, on the arrival of other people, given up their seats, and had never looked in afterAvards.—Mr. R. D. Jones: Whoever turned those people out of their seats were not good Churchmen.—The Chairman said thev had lost_ one very in- fiuential family through this question of scats.

Canon Camber Williams presided over the annual meeting of the Vestry held at the Parish room on Wednesday evening. There was a larger attendance of members than usual, probably owing to its having been ad- journed to a more convenient date. In the course of his address the Vicar expressed his pleasure at meeting the parishioners for the first time since his advent to the parish as vicar. He had been previously associated with the town for many years, and he hoped that the happy times he then spent would be continued. He regretted that the im- portant duties which devolved upon him in connection with the Commission demanded his services out of the parish, but the fruits of his labours would soon develop. Having referred to the departure of the Rev. James Jones and his invaluable services in the parish, also to Mr. Harford for his generous support, the Vicar outlined a pro- gramme of improvements necessary for the Church. Amongst these were repairs to the school, a heating apparatus for the Church, raising a fund of £30 a year towards the curates' stipend, the erection of a peal of I bells, and improving the approach to the churchyard. With regard to the Church Council, it was intended to make its duties much more effective than in the past, and he trusted that they would have a success- fu1 year in every way. It was resolved that the term of office of each churchwarden be two years. The Vicar re-elected Mr. Josiali Jenkins as his warden. Mr. Wm. Davies (saddler), proposed the appointment of Mr. WTm. Davies (manciple) as people's warden, pointing out in doing "0, that in view of the improvements outlined, Mr. Davies would be the only one to carry them out. Mr. Samuel Williams, Mill-street, seconded.—Mr. Samuel Davies proposed as an amendment, that Mr. D. F. Llovd be elected, and Mr. Wm. Jones, builder sec- onded. Mr. Roderick Elvans urged the members to compromise., stating that there had neve:' been a voting before.—Mr. Dan- iel Watkins in supporting the amendment, said the honour should be given to one who had rendered services in the past, and Mr. Lloyd had been most active at Church meetings on Sundays and week-days. On a division, Mr. D. F. Lloyd was elected by a substantial majority. It was agreed that sidesmen should hold office for two years, and for the next two years Messrs. J. Ernest Llovd. D. Watkins Roderick Evans, W. L owis, W. J. Williams rrnd Coram Davies were elected, the other six who retire next war being Messrs. E. Davies, T. W. Jones, W Davies Saddler). Samuel Williams, J.

The warrant was issued on the 28th September, 1907, and was sent to Cardiff the same day. Tho reply came back that Hughes left Cardiff some months previously.
