This new system will do away with a good deal of the crowding to the station, and will no doubt faciliate the work of the railway employees. After the work is completed, those who are not on 'business or not going by train will have to pay Id. for admittance to the station.

Private GRIFFITH OWEN EDWARDS, Litte of Kohinoor, who was killed in action at the front. The following letter has been received by Mrs Williams, 1, Moss Bank, from an officer of Pte. Edwards' battalion "2nd. Batt. Royal Welsh Fusiliers. 12th June, 1916. Dear Madam, No. 36863 Pte. Edwards was killed instantaneously by a shell which burst in the trench while he was doing his duty as sentry. He has been buried in a little churchyard by our Chaplain in the little village beyond our firing-line called Cambrin. The burial service was read whilst his comrades were gathered around, and a wooden cross has been placed over his grave. You will most certainly be able to find his grave after the war, as a record is kept with the battalion of all those who have fallen for King and country. I did net know Pte. Edwards person- ally as he had only been out a little while, but I have heard that he was shaping into an excellent soldier. Assuring you of my deepest sympathy I remain. Yours truly, PERCY MONY (Capt.), O. C. D. Coy. Pte. Joseph Evans, late of Idris Temperance, writes The Germans started shelling us something cruel, and on sentry on Griff's post was a young married Welsh- man from Wrexham from 7 o'clock till 9 o'clock, so poor Griff went there at 9 o'clock to releave him, and as soon as he got to his post a shell fell on the side of the trench, killing both of them on the spot. I was pleased in one way that they both had an instant death. I was cleaning my rifle at the the time just near them when a shell fell near me and such a lot of dirt flew about me, then another one fell nearer to me. With that I left the rifle and jumped in the dug-out, being as I was not on sentry at the time. So when I came out, a young fellow told me that there was two of the name of Edwards killed. I went to the spot, and to my sorrow I found poor Griff and the young man from Wrexham. I only saw the young man from Wrexham, but I felt I couldn't look at poor Griff. I saw him taken out of the trench, wrapped in a waterproof sheet, and I am pleased to tell you they both got buried that evening in the same grave about four miles from the trenches in a church graveyard, and they have a very nice grave with a nice white wooden cross with the words: "Griffith Edwards and Lanoe-Corporal Edwards killed in action May 17tb." I am going to see their grave again as soon as I get a chance. There are a lot of the boys that came with us from Litherland been to see it. Poor Griff. How he told me many a time bow nice it would be when we would go back to dear old Barmouth. I remain, Yours truly, JOEEPH EVANS." I

The above is a photograph of the Barmoutb Bed at the Welsh Hospi- tal, Netley. It was taken at the instance of Miss Evans, the matron, who is a Welsh lady of high attainments. Miss Evans writes to express her deep grati- tude, as well as that of the Committee* to the Barmouth people for their vain- able and continued practical support. If any wounded Barmouth man will bo fortunate enough to get into the Welsh Hospital, Miss Evans assures the Bar- mouth people that there will be a warm and hearty welcome for him. There is also a small reserve fund accumulating, so as to provide any local patient with a few additional luxuries. Nurse Roberts wishes to thank the subscribers most heartily for the ready and cheerful manner in which they pay their weekly subscriptions, a fact which makes her onerous task somewhat lighter.
