Death of iTCr. John morgan,I…
Death of iTCr. John morgan, I Ballpuiacora. I We regret to have to announce the sudden death, through heart failure, of Mr John Morgan, Ballymacora, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, at Hendre Villas, the resi- dence of bis sisters-in-law, in his 68th year. He was born at Talywern Flour Mills, Montgomeryshire, and started business on his own account, when very young, with a small capital at Penrhyn- deudraeth. In a few years he com- menced business on a larger scale as general merchant at Blaenau Festiniog, where he was very successful Soon he I came to take deep interest in the public life of the place, and was elected a mem- ber of the Old Local Board, and after- wards a member of the Urban District Council of Blaenau Festiniog. He was altogether in business for 45 years. 21 of which be spent at Festiniog. He took deep interest in public movements in the place during that period. He was elected deacon of Jerusalem Congrega- tional Church, which is the largest church in the place, and as a member and officer rendered noble service in that church till be retired from business. About fifteen years ago the deceased partly retired from business, and came to Barmouth to spend the remaining years of his energetic life as a man of business. He was not in Barmoutb long before be came to take an interest in the public life of the town, and the Barmouth people soon thought fit to elect him as a member on the Urban District Council, on which be represented the town for 13 years, and the ratepayers' know well of the good he did during that time. Six years ago be was elected a mem- ber for the North Ward on the County Council. He was appointed by the Barmouth Urban District Council as governor of the County Intermediate School and no governor attended more regularly the meetings Of the Governors during the six years be represented the Council. He rendered special service to the School as a member and Chair- man of the Works Committee. No- thing was too small or trivial to commend his most careful attention. No. public man in the town took deeper interest in the welfare of the place. He was treasurer to the Improve- ment Association, and his lat appear- ance in public was at the meeting held in connection with the above on Friday night last. In all these offices the departed gave himself with unremitting devotion. A man of strong convictions, and of much moral courage to carry forth what he conscientiously believed to be right. He was very anxious to devote himself to the public interests, and though in very indifferent health recently, still he strove to fulfil the duties of his offices. He and his wife took prominent part in connection with the erection of the « Bridge across the Railway by Epworth Terrace. The Cambtian Railways Com- pany demanded a payment of the CO.00 the y expected the town to raise towards th expense, but the money could not be collected at once, so Mr Morgan came to 'he rescue and gave the loan of the £ 2)0 free of interest for two years, and tb,1 b without security, till the money we old be collected. Space will only allow us a short refer- ence to his connection with the English Congregational Church, of which he was member and a deacon for over nine years. He was highly respected by all, and there was no mem- ber more ready to help the work of the church by his generous contributions. In fact no one knows bow willingly he helped others in difficulties, and his right band never knew what his left band did. TheSaccount of his death on Tuesday cast a gloom over the town, and all his friends deeply sympathise with Mrs Morgan (the widow) and relations in their bereavement aDd sorrow. The funeral (private) will take place at Llanaber to-morrow (Friday). He was the owner of property at Penrhyndeudraetb,, Festiniog and Bal- montb.

The Motor Boat.—The motor launch, Princess Royal (Capt. John Morris), continues to be well patronized, and visitors should not leave Barmouth with- out a trip up the Estuary. Tennis,-On Saturday last a tennis tournament was played on the Recrea- tion Ground, when prizes in the mixed double was won by Dr. Mievilleand Miss Starley, both visitors in the town.

The Royal Magnets.—On Friday last the Royal Magnets gave their first grand special concert of the season. Their efforts were rewarded with a large and most enthusiastic audience. From every point of view the concert was a great success. The whole programme was teeming with good wholesome humour. The songs were tuneful and splendidly rendered. The various sketches were thoroughly enjoyed and evoked roars of laughter. Mr Harry Kirk and the Hon. Harry Bowden as two ugly sisters were excruciatingly funny. Their patter was smart and full of point, and their quarrelling ditty brought their sketch to to a splendid crisis. A reallyè clever skit in the German Emperor and 'Little Willie' was one of the wittiest things we have seen for a long time, and 'Sir' Edward Pare as the Kaiser and Mr Chas. Eistree as 'LitileWillie'wLre irrosistable. We hope this will be repeated for the benefit of visitors yet to come. We would never tire of seeing it. The concert was brought to a conclusion by an original sketch, entitled "Re cruiting, in which Sir" Edward and the Hon." Harry acquitted themselves admirably, the whole thing was received with side splitting laughter from start to finish, the characters were well drawn and sustained.—The Royal Magnets, al- though a small company, are wonder- fully versatile, their capabilities of variety evidently knows no limit. No wonder their concert was voted by every- body a huge success. I I Visitors.—On the whole the number-, of visitors staying in the town is up to the average, but reports are general that the prices for rooms are not up to the usual standard, although everything else shows an advance.
