BRYNAMMAN. Lieut. J. Henry Jones, who a little time since visited home, is in hospital suffering from a severe cold. He is slowly recovering.

Howells, Frondeg, Gwaun-cae-gurwen, formerly of Brynamman, teacher of the Brynamman (Upper) Mining Class, of which Mr. Wilkins was a faithful member. Under the presidency of .Mr. Jenkin Jones, headmaster, Upper Council Schools, a cordia l welcome was given to Priv. W. J. Jones, Belle Vue Ter- race, who was on his last leave before going to the Front. A capital pro- gramme was arranged.

Evans, Mr/J. Pia Morgan, Madame Esther Nedhall, and a glee 'by Madame W. J. WiUiams and party. Miss Ethel May Rees and Master Horace Jones gave recitations; Mr. David John Evans gave a solo on the clarionette; and Miss Mary Eurfron Williams a violin solo. Speeches were made by the Rev. W. D. Thomas, Sergt. Roberts, Welsh Regiment, and Mr. Morgan Davies. The hero of the evening was made the recipient of the usual sum of money, which he acknow- ledged briefly but feelingly. The National Anthem was sung to termi- nate a good event. I At Bethania, Rhosamman, the same evening, a capital programme was en- joyed by a good audience on the occa- sion of the departure of Bombardier Pritchard Jones, Rose and Crown, back to the trenches. Mr. Dan Harries occupied the chair, and gave a speech. Mr. Tom W. Jones ably accompanied.

Williams sang the Welsh National Anthem to close the pro- gramme.
