W. Phillips, Nantvmoel, and Llew Morgan, and suitaole addresses were delivered by Messrs. J. Griffiths, Philip Davies (assistant supt.), D. J. Richards, and B.

Phillips; and 4th, Mr. Llew Morgan. Success at the National—The many friends of Mr. Hyam Freedman will be delighted to hear of his further success at the National Eisteddfod at Carnarvon this week. Mastei Freedman won the first prize in the senior violin competition out of sixteen competi- tors. The Garw Valley feels proud that a local musician has distinguished himself so well, this being the second occasion upon which he has secured a National Eisteddfod first prize. It was rather a disappointment when it was known that he had returned to Pontycymmer by the first train on Wednes- day morning, as it was the intention of his friends to have given him a right royal re- ception at the station. Death of An Old Inhabitant.—The death occurred suddenly on Saturday morning of Mr. David Jones, Ogmore House, Hill View, formerly of High-street. Deceased. who had attained his ooth birthday, had been able to follow his employment until three weeks prior to his death, and was never known previously to be indisposed. Mr. Jones was highly respected by all sections of the community. He was an official at the Ffaldau Colliery. In the church at Bethel he was one of the senior deacons, and was a faithful worker in the cause. During the revival he was particularly active, and did much to organise processions and open-air meetings. Much sympathy has been ex- tended towards the widow and three sons. The eldest son (Mr. Tom Jones) is a Baptist student, and will shortly enter Cardiff Col- lege. The second son. Mr. Idloes Jones, RSc.. is assistant master at Bridgend County Schools, and Mr. Willie Jones, the youngest, is a student at the Countv School, Bridgend. The funeral took place at Pontycymmer Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. DEATH OF MRS. EVANS, FFALDAU HOUSE. With regret we have to record the death of Mrs. Evans, widow of the late Dr. Evans (Ocean Surgery), which sad event oc- curred at her residence on Sunday morning, .after a long illness, in her 40th year. Dr. Evans, who pre-deceased her by seven weeks, also died on Sunday morning at the same hour, 4 o'clock..Mrs. Evans was a member of the old Llangeinor School Board, and when the Education Act of 1902 was introduced she was co-opted a member of the managers of the Ogmore and Garw Group of Schools. During her eighteen years residence in the Garw Valley Mrs. Evans had earned the es- teem of a large circle of acquaintances, and her generosity was almost proverbial. Every New Year's morning hundreds of children flocked to her residence to receive new pennies. The deceased lady was a native of Ystalyfera, in which neighbourhood most of her relatives still reside, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Price, Garnant (brother and sister-in-law), Rev. Gomer Price, Rector (brother), Mr. Evans, solicitor, and Mrs. Evans, Gwaencaegerwen (brother-in-law and sister). The interment took place at Ponty- cymmer Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. There was a very large attendance. The Rev. W. Saunders, C.C., officiated at the house and cemetery, assisted by Rev. T. B. Phillips, Tylagwyn. The mourners included the following: Miss Price, Ffaldau House (sister), Rev. Gomer Price, Rector of Penar (brother), Mr. and Mrs. Moses Evans, Swan- sea (sister and brother-in-law), Rev. Arthur Price, Derby (nephew). Rev. Arthur Evans, Brecon; Mr. James Williams, J.P., Ystaly- fera (uncle), Mr. Tom Powell, Neath; Mr. Lem. Price, Mr. and Mrs. J. Price, Black- wood Mr. Arthur Price.

NANTYMOEL.
NANTYMOEL. Scholastic Success.—Master D. J. Harries, -eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Harries, Dinam-street, Nantymoel, has won a three years' County Council probationer's scholar- ship at the Bridgend County School. Master Harries was a pupil at the Nantymoel Boys' Schools (headmaster, Mr. James Jones), and his success reflects the highest credit to his school and to his teacher, Mr. W. Roberts. Presentation.—At the new Star Hotel, Cwmgorse, on Thursday evening last week, Mr. William Exley, the able conductor of the Nantymoel Temperance Band, and formerly -conductor of Gwauncaegurwen Silver Band, was made the recipient of a beautiful address and purse of gold in recognition of his much esteemed services. Mrs. Exley was pre- sented with a pair of valuable bronze vases oy friends and acquaintances at Gwauncae- gurwen. Mr. Exley. who has already a host of admirers at Nantymoel, is undoubtedly a most efficient and competent conductor of hrass bands.

BLAENGARW FRIENDLY SOCIETIES…
BLAENGARW FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ANNUAL DEMONSTRATION INAUGU- RATED. The first annual demonstration under the auspices of the Blaengarw Friendly Societies' Council was held on Saturday afterncon. and the committee have reason for self-con^ratu- lation in that their first effort towards estab- lishing an annual demonstration was such a pronounced success. The weather on Satur- day in the G.1 v fortuimu-'y was a consider- able improvement on that of preceding days, and the whole proceedings were favoured with splendid conditions. Punctually at three o'clock—the time specified for the commence- ment of the proceedings—the procession of Friendly Society men formed up at the Work- men's-hall. The procession was headed by the Blaengarw Silver Band (under the able leadership of Mr. Pemberton), whose strains enlivened the march. The members gener- ally wore red ribbons, while the officials of the Council wore pale blue rosettes. The latter rode in a conveyance in the van of the procession. The collecting was entrusted to a large band of young ladies, and the pro- ceeds will be devoted to augmenting the fund for the proposed new wing at the Cardiff In- firmary. After a march which occupied over two hours, the processionists resorted to the In- stitute, where an enthusiastic meeting was held. The chair was occupied by Mr. Philip Davies, and the proceedings opened with a solo "God save the people." splendidly ren- dered by Mr. W. T. Hengoed. The Rev. D. G. Rees. Unitarian minister, Bridgend, said the Friendly Societies of the Garw could feel justly proud of the proces- sion held that day, for it plainly showed the enthusiasm and unity which prevailed among them in the Garw. The spectators were per- haps, in number not so satisfactory, but they must not forget that this was their first at- tempt, and no dou/J" greater success would be theirs in future. They had been fortunate in having such a fine band of young ladies to do the collecting, and he must be a hard wretch indeed who could resist their appeal. (Laughter.) They were there as the sup- porters of the glorious principle Bear ye one another's burdens"—one of the fundamental principles of social life. The Friendly So- ciety movement was, after all, no innovation. An invaluable phase of society in early days was that there was a fund for the burial of the dead, and in the middle ages help was given to the sick and unfortunate. The spirit of helping one another still existed among the workers and the more that spirit was cultivated the better it would be for all. (Hear, hear.) The Friendly Society had an elevating influence, and he who spent his days in endeavouring to improve it, spent in- deed a useful life. (Hear. hear.) He knew of the infinite good wrought by that institu- tion on behalf of the workers. Speaking on the moral and religious aspect of the Friendly Society movement, he said there were two commandments which they were ex- horted to obey, namely, to love God and to love man—piety and philanthropy—and they were told that the second was like unto the first. As Christian people they were, he was afraid, apt to neglect the philanthropic side of religion, but the Friendly Societies were carrying out the essence of the Gospel; they had been discharging a jrreat Biblical in- junction. He cared little what their peculiar theological views were. In the Great Day he did not think they would be asked what churches they attended, but "Have you ac- complished the work of caring for the least of My children?" This was what the Friendly Society had attempted to do. Mr. J. Hendy Davies gave a recitation. Alderman T. J. Hughes. in the course of an earnest appeal on behalf of the funds for the new out-patients' wing of the Cardiff In- firmary, said it was unnecessary to emphasise to an audience of colliers the importance of combination. But although it was a good thing to combine for their own benefit, it was a far better and nobler thing to combine for the benefit of the children of pain and sorrow- ing and suffering. (Hear, hear.) He ap- pealed to them as brother members of Friendly Societies to give to the district and the county a practical illustration of their membership by bringing into action the best promptings of their hearts. The Cardiff In- firmary had a claim on every inhabitant of the county. Starting on its humane career in 1837 with 42 in-patients and 1.070 out- j patients involving an expenditure of £739. it had steadily increased in the volume of its usefulness and work so that last year the in-patients numbered 2,301, the out-partients 20.850, and the expenditure amounted to £14,037, and he was glad to note that a most sensible arrangement with the Porthcawl Rest Committee had been arrived at, by which many convalescent patients were being received at the Rest during the winter months. (near, hear.) But there was a sad side to the picture: there were always over 400 patients waiting for admission. The population served by the infirmary was, roughly speaking, half a million. Sir Henry Burdett. the greatest authority on the sub- ject, had stated that in an industrial area there should be four hospital beck to one thousand of the population. On this basis there ought to be 2,000 beds for Glamorgan and Monmouthshire alone, but, in fact, there were only 414, and the area was the worst served from the hospital standpoint in the United Kingdom. This was a standing dis- grace to so important and wealthy an area. He asked them to think of the hundreds who were shut out from lack of funds. He was reminded of the pathetic picture in the Gos- pels of the crowd of sufferers crouching around the pool at Jerusalem waiting for the troubling of the waters. The out-patients' department of the Cardiff Infirmary was one specially useful to a colliery district, where injuries to the eyes, etc., caused in the work could be and were being treated and cured. The work done in this department had increased by two hundred per cent. within the last twenty years, and the accom- modation was now altogether insufficient. The building was badly lighted and ventil- ated—which was specially injurious for sick folk waiting their turn—and the committee had courageously determined to build a new wing at a cost of £7,000, towards which nearly £6,000 had been subscribed. He ap- pealed to them to make some real sacrifice in order that their contribution towards the re- mainder might be substantial. It was true that half the world did not know how the other half lived, and he feared it was true that some of the half did not care. The chief fault was not callousness but indiffer- ence—want of the imaginative faculty. He had referred to the pathetic picture of the pool of Jerusalem, and he reminded them that it was an angel who troubled the waters and gave relief. Some of them had been doing enough of the Devil's work in past years; here was a chance to do some Angel's work. (Applause.) Sympathy without re- lief was like mustard without beef.. (Laugh- ter.) He appealed to them not only for their sympathy, but for their relief. (Applause.) He wanted something more than enthusiasm he desired that they should translate their enthusiasm into energy. (Hear. hear.) Welshmen were usually full of enthusiasm and excitement, but they went up like rockets and came down like sticks. (Laughter.) Action was needed, and more of an honest desire to help one another. TApplause.) Both speakers were cordially thanked for their addresses. Later in the evening a miscellaneous meet- ing was held.
Ffaldau Lodge and the District.
Ffaldau Lodge and the District. The Executive of the South Wales Miners' Federation recently appointed Messrs Vernon Hartshorn and W. B. Morgan to hold a fur- ther inquiry into the dispute between the Garw District Executive and the Ffaldau Lodge. This inquiry was held on Tuesday at the Council Offices, Brynmenin. Evidence was tendered on behalf of the district by Messrs. David Thomas (South Rhondda). W. H. Thomas (Kenfig Hill), and W. Lewis (Tondu). The Ffaldau Lodge tendered evi- dence through their two checkweighers (Messrs. loan Williams and William Davies). Then Alderman John Thomas, miners' agent for the Garw District, dealt very exhaustively with the various grievances, and afterwards Messrs. Hartshorn and Morgan recommended the Ffaldau Lodge to take a ballot of the col- liery as to whether the lodge should rejoin the district. They made this recommenda- tion in the interests of the Ffaldau Lodge, the Garw District, and the Federation gener- ally.
NANTYMOEL WORKMEN'S HALL.…
NANTYMOEL WORKMEN'S HALL. EXTENSIVE ENLARGEMENT. OPENING CEREMONY BY MR. BLANDY JENKINS. A great concourse assembled on Saturday afternoon to witness the opening ceremony of the extensions at the Nantymoel Work- men's-hall, which is now admitted to be one of the finest institutions of the kind in the Principality. The hall, which is situated at Pricetulïn, was opened some four years ago, and the original building afforded ac- commodation for 850 people in the main hall. underneath which were provided a spacious library, reading rooms, and committee rooms. The cost of the original scheme amounted to something like £4.000, and of this sum £3,100 was cleared before the end of 1905. and the committee also had elected a commodious caretaker's residence near the hall at a cost of £350. The extensions, which were opened on Saturday, have been effected at a cost of £2,.500. so that the pre- sent liabilities of the committee amount to £3,400. Towards this sum handsome sub- scriptions have been given and promised. Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins. who has always taken an active interest in the movement, has gen- erously subscribed £100, and Mr. J. Boyd Harvey, on behalf of Messrs. North's Navi- gation Collieries Co., a like amount. The chairman of the committee is Dr. D. J. Thomas, C.C.; treasurer, Mr. John Owen; and joint secretaries, Messrs. Mark Hi" and John E. Price, and the members are repre- sentative of the workmen of the Wyndham, Ocean. and Aber Collieries, who reside in Pricetown and Nantymoel. The fifteen trus- tees include Mr. Blandy Jenkins. Mr. Boyd Harvey, and Mr Wm. Jenkins, Ystradfec-han. The extensions were excellently designed by Mr. Morris Williams. Blackmill. and add greatly to the appearance and convenience of the building. In the hall itself a trans- formation has been affected. In place of the old wooden platform a new and commodious stage, measuring 40ft. by 28ft.. has been erected, and the space originally occupied by the platform now forms part of the auditorium, the accommodation being in- creased by 200 seats. The stage is fronted with a beautifully decorated proscenium arch— 28ft. long by 20ft. high—over which is a shield bearing the Royal Arms, commemora- tive of the fact that King Edward, who owns land in the neighbourhood in right of his Duchy of Lancaster, subscribed £200 towards the building. On either side of the shield are the emblems of industry—the pick and shovel—and surmounting the shield is the re- presentation of the King's Crown. At the rear of the stage spacious retiring rooms, lavatory accommodation, etc., are provided. Near the main entrance to the hall rising tiers have been constructed on either side. and new fireproof staircases have been erected. The other extensions comprise an excellent and very commodious billiard-room in the basement, committee and lecture rooms, and a fine lesser hall on the first floor. The latter measures 40ft. by 18ft., and will prove a great boon to the workmen for the holding of minor meetings. The billiard- room is 40ft. square and is beautifully fur- nished. The flooring is of wood blocks and the ceiling is arranged in panels. Two fine tables are provided, each costing eighty guineas, and there is seating accommodation for nearly a hundred spectators. The extensions have been constructed in local stone, the dressings being of Cattybrook bricks. The lighting is by electricity, and the ventilation throughout is by up-to-date methods. The contractor was Mr. D. W Davies. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The opening ceremony was performed, as stated, by Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins, who was accompanied by Mrs. Jenkins. Dr. D. J. Thomas presided, and others present in- cluded Mrs. Jones, The Vicarage; Mr. J. P. Gibbon, J.P., Maesteg (representing Messrs. North's Navigation Co.), Mr. W. R. Randall (Messrs. Randall and Co., Bridgend, solici- tors to the Llanharran Estate), Rev. M. J. Mills, and the officers and members of the committee. Mr. Jenkins opened the billiard room with a beautiful gold key. presented by Mr. Morris Williams. The key bore the Squire of Llanharran's coat of arms, and the inscription: Presented to J. Blandy Jen- kins, Esq., J.P., D.L., on the opening of the new billiard room and other additions to the Workmen's Hall and Institute, Nantymoel, by J. Morris Williams, architect, Blackmill, 1906." Subsequently a great meeting was held in the main hall, where Mr. Jenkins opened the other extensions. The Ogmore Valley Male Voice Party (con- ducted by Mr. Myrnach Davies) having ren- dered The Destruction of Gaza" in fine style. Dr. Thomas delivered an address. Four years ago. he said. they had assembled under similar conditions to open the build- ing as originally constructed. Since then things had been rather prosperous in the valley, and the hall and institute committee, becoming a little more ambitious, had em- barked upon an extensive enlargement scheme, which had now been successfully carried out. The original building cost something like £4,000, and the extensions £2,500, so that the workmen of the district, who were part owners of that building, had property to the value of over £6.000. (Applause.) They could congratulate them- selves on having provided such a magnificent building in such a short space of time. It showed what could be done by a united body of men. assisted by outside friends such as Mr. Blandy Jenkins, who had again come to help them with a handsome subscription of £ 100—(applause)—and the directors of Messrs. North's Navigation Co., through Mr. J. Boyd Harvey, who had also given tl0G. (Renewed applause.) Some of the directors of the Ocean Coal Company were away from home at present, and no definite reply had been received from them to the appeal of the committee, but he had no doubt as to what the result would be. (Applause.) It was satisfactory to know that out of the large amount of money expended on the erection of the building, over £3,000 had already been subscribed by the workmen and others. The workmen subscribed weekly towards the fund, but most of the amount contributed by them only went in maintenance charges. He hoped that special efforts would be made to reduce the debt it would not be too much to expect mat £100 or €200 could be realised by some annual event organised by the com- mittee, such as an eisteddfod or concert. They could not expect assistance from out- siders unless they helped themselves; they could not expect money to rain like manna from heaven. (Laughter.) The present position was, on the whole, very satisfactory. Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins. who' was received with much cheering, declared the stage and the other additions open, and expressed the great pleasure he felt at seeing the magni- ficent result of the efforts of the local work- ing-men. They had now a fine hall, where all manner of meetings could be conveniently held, and where recreation and instruction would be provided for the people of the neighbourhood. Dr. Thomas had been urg- ing them to make special efforts to reduce the debt, and he had only to reiterate that ap- peal. because, after all, they could not ex- pect outsiders—and he was sure they did not —to subscribe sufficient to pay off all the liabilities. He had hopes that. with some good management and the whole-hearted sup- port of the workmen of the district, there would not be any debt remaining at the end of the next eight years. (Applause.) The buildings were splendidly arranged and fur- nished. and he did not see any room for im- provement. The workmen could congratu- late themselves on having one of the best halls in the county-which was saying a good deal—and the fact that it was their own free- hold property must cause great pleasure. (Applause.) He always took a deep interest in everything appertaining to the welfare of the residents of that district, and had in- variably done all in his power to further their interests. (Applause.) Let the men now rise to the occasion and clear off the debt as soon as possible. (Applause.) Dr. Thomas said the hall committee and the workmen generally were very much in- debted to Mr. Blancly Jenkins for coming to Nantymoel on that occasion and for the in- terest he had taken from the commencement in that movement. (Applause.) Mr. Jen- kins gave them the land for the building, and it must be a great pleasure for him to see the success which had attended the efforts of the committee. (Applause.) Numerous letters regretting inability to be present were at this juncture read by Mr. J. E. Price. Mr. Boyd Harvey wrote: "I now find I have to attend the Conciliation Board meeting in Cardiff on Saturday, so that I regret I shall be unable to attend the open- ing of the hall. I shall send the company's cheque in time for that meeting." (Ap- plause.)—Mr. D. W. Davies. the contractor, expressed his gratitude for the courteous manner in which all negotiations relating to the contract were carried out.—Mr. S. T. Evans. K.C., M.P.. wrote: I should like to have been with you on Saturday, but I re- gret my engagements will not permit of it.— Mr. W. Brace. M.P.. and Mr. Tom Richards. M.P.. were prevented from attending owing to the Conciliation Board meeting, as was also Mr. White Cory.—Dr. E. J. Parry, stated: "As chairman of the trustees of the Ffaldau Workmen's Institute, I naturally take much interest in the progress and suc- cess of all like institutions."—Mr. Edward Thomas (Cochfarf) wrote It is a ceremony full of interest to me for I remember living in Nantymoel when no accommodation existed where the workmen could spend their leisure hours and when his labour was over he had to choose between the public house. the road and the mountain side. I shall not be able to attend owing to the Carnarvon Eisteddfod, but I hope to see the hall before the end of the year. I wish to give my tes- timony to the enlightened interest which Mr. Blandy Jenkins always takes in the wel- fare of all those connected with his estate." (Applause.)—A letter was also read from Mr. Tom Lucas. Mr. Jacob Roberts next spoke in Welsh. For many years, he said. the workers of the valley had been singing in the minor key, but they had changed the tune and their singing ever since had been in the major. (Applause.) Mr. Blandy Jenkins was re- sponsible in a great degree for the change in the tune, and the workmen of the valley were under a deep debt of gratitude to him for all he had done on their behalf. (Applause.) He hoped there would not be any discord in connection with the hall in the future, and that the harmony and unity which had char- acterised the negotiations in connection with the movement, would be fully maintained. (Hear, hear.) It was now agreed that the building had been erected in the right place; it was most conveniently situated. He hoped full advantage would be taken of all the opportunities which were now provided for the enlightenment of the young people. and that the men of the district would withhold their support from institutions which were not calculated to improve them from a moral point of view. They had a capital place where they could spend their evenings and healthy recreation was an im- portant ixiing in life. (Applause.) Let the workmen not spare any effort until no debt existed on the building. Mr. W. Boobyer said that when he came to live in Nantymoel it was a village with a church, a chapel, and a public-house. While the place had progressed commercially, he thought it had also developed from an intel- lectual point of view, and greater progress might be expected in the latter respect in the future if full advantage were taken of that institution. At one time they des- paired of ever erecting a building of that kind in Nanta-moel. Mr. Owen. the colliery manager. met Mr. Blandy Jenkins at Bryn- menin with reference to the scheme, and the reply received was Mr. Jenkins will help those who help themselves," and they conse- quently set to work. They continued to make arrangements, and. thanks to the unity of the men. they formed a nucleus of a fund. Mr. Jenkins was true to his promise, and generously assisted them. (Applause.) Mr. J. T. Williams said the men of the valley no longer experienced the disadvan- tage of not having opportunities to improve themselves intellectually. The old question How can we get a hall?" had now been sub- stituted by a new one. "How can we make the best use of it?" He was glad that so far the institution had not been used for any- thing that they need be ashamed of. It was true thev had had plays there', but they had been respectable companies, and their per- formances were not in any way discreditable. (Hear, hear.) The hall had also proved a great boon in regard to united religious ser- vices There was no serious objection to billiards or to any other pastime, except when those pastimes were abused. Let those who would use the billiard tables refrain from indulging in anything which would give cause for complaint. (Hear, hear.) Me paid a tribute to the excellent services ren- dered by Dr. Thomas, who was aNlwa5'7s.,Ff^ly to assist the workers. (Applause.) With JJr. Thomas as chairman of the committee they had the right man in the right place. (Ap- plause.) Mr. John E. Price gave a financial state- ment, stating that in order to enable the committee to raise funds Mr. Blandy Jen- kins had given his name to the bank as a guarantee for £2,000. There was a debt of about £3,000, and the committee would mate a special appeal to the workmen to wipe this off. On the whole, spiendid progress had been made. Mr. J. P. Gibbon, who was cordially re- ceived, said he was highly pleased to see that the colliery workmen were looking to the im- provement of their facilities for self culture and recreation. Mr. Jenkins had stated that this was one of the finest halls of the kind in the county, which really meant say- ing in South Wales. As one who was well acquainted with the colliery valleys, he ven- tured to say that it was the finest hall m any mining valley in South Wales. (Ap- plause.) One speaker declared that they no longer sang in the minor key, and he hoped they would never have cause to change the key. It was remarkable what progress had been made in the valleys during the past thirty years. He could remember the time when in the most advanced districts, no pro- vision was made for the recreation of the colliers; in those days libraries and halls were out of the question. But things had changed, and it was creditable to the workers that they had helped themselves in such a way. Men who had had the energy to build a hall of that kind would not be long in wiping off the debt. (Hear. hear.) lialls had been built in the LlYnfi Valley, though there the workmen had not been blessed with big land owners and royalty owners who were willing to come forward with their services. At Maesteg the workmen had a building fund to which they paid Id. per week. and he re- commended this to the Nantymoel workmen. Let the workmen continue to help themselves and they could then seek help from others without blushing. Some people objected to billiards and plays: there was no harm in the former if they kept the gambling element out of it, nor in the latter if the perform- ances were of the proper kind. (Hear. hear.) Mr. Gibbon handed a cheque for £ 100 from Messrs. North's to the Chairman, anno loud applause. The Rev. M. J. Mills hoped everything coarse and vulgar would be kept out of the pastimes in that institution, and that the workmen would not abuse their privileges. Mental development was very necessary even to the collier, and it was creditable that they had provided for themselves the means to secure this development. He read some verses appropriate to the occasion composed by Mr. W. Jones, the librarian. Mr. Blandy Jenkins proposed a vote of thanks to Dr. Thomas, the secretaries, the committee, the builder, and architect for their services, which was enthusiastically passed. Dr. Thomas acknowledged and proposed a similar vote to Mr. Jenkins, which was car- ried with acclamation, the audience singing For 1 le's a jolly good fellow." Several selections were given during the proceedings by the Male Voice Party, the solos being taken by Mr. John Lewis.

Lord Ellesmere on Wednesday opened the extensive model creamery established at "VY alkden by the federated farmers on Ins lordship's Worsley estates. A dozen farmers own jointly nearly two hundred cows, and forward supplies of milk daily to the cream- ery. where it is motherised. sterilised, and peptonised. Branches are being opened in the adjoining townships. Henley Bridge, the condition of which. owing to wear and tear. is causing some anxiety to the Corporation, was designed about 1786 by Thomas Hayward. who ex- pressed the wish that he might die ere the work commenced, and that his body might be interred under the centre pier. He died before the bridge was completed, and was buried in the churchyard close by. The East Fiuchley bridegroom who has been missing from his home for more than a week has returned as mysteriously as he went and on Tuesday night was seen in company with his sweetheart. It is said he entered a church in London where he was at one time a worshipper, and was there recognised. Lapse of memory seems to be the explana- tion. V
