GELLYGAER URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, APRIL GTII, 1914. TO THE ELECTORS OF BARGOED AND GILFACH WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Three years ago you honoured me with your confidence by electing me as one of the Councillors of this Ward. Throughout that period I have endeavoured to serve you faithfully and honestly. I again respectfully request your kind support and interest. Having resided jin your midst all my life, and coming into daily contact with every portion of the locality, I believe it will be admitted that I possess an intimate knowledge of the needs of the Ward. There are many questions of importance pend- ing, and others that must be put forward, such as the (1) Housing of the Working Classes, (2) Lighting, (3) Water, (1) Roads, &c., which I shall at all times endeavour to bring to the front. I am in entire favour of unifying this Valley for administrative purposes, believing it to be a great saving to the already over-burdened Rate- payer. I believe in "open spaces" for the people, where an enjoyable hour may be spvut. ^*1 am a Member of the Rhymney Valley Sewerage Board, and am pleased to say succeeded in getting our Trade Union rate of wagea made payable to Workmen on the whole of the con- tracts. Ladies and Gentlemen, without making promises, I shall, as I have hitherto done, do my best for the Ward in which we reside, and where I have been nominated by the Bargoed Steam Coal Lodges and supported by other progressive bodies. Yours faithfully, EDMUND JONES. Bargoed, March 31st, 1914. I

RHYMNEY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, APRIL 6TH, 1914. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MIDDLE WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Having faithfully served you on the Council for the last six years, I again place my services at your disposal. It has always been my chief endeavour to advocate and further the interest of the Residents of the Town, consistent with Progress and Economy. I may point out that through my instru- mentality the Ratepayers were saved over 2250 in the Sewering of two Houses in Church Street and Colenzo Terrace. I also strongly advocated the High Street Im- provement, which is now acknowledged by all to be lone of the Greatest Improvements in the Town. The Housing Question has received my whole- hearted support. You are aware that a large scheme is now in progress for the Sewering of the whole of the Rhymney Valley, to cost a Quarter of a Million Pounds, and having been your Representative on the Sewerage Board since its origin, I have gained valuable experience, which will be of much advantage to the Ratepayers in the near future. I have strongly supported the now very popular Joint Isolation Hospital Scheme. My Motto always has been "The greatest possible Efficiency, compatible with Economy." Soliciting your Support, and assuring you that, if elected, I shall, in the future, as in the past, endeavour to serve you conscientiously and without fear or favour. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, D. 5. ISTANCE. The Terrace, Rhymney, D. S. ISTANCIE. I 30th March, 1914.

1- RHYMNEY DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, TO THE ELECTORS OF THE LOWER WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Allow me to thank you all for the very great compliment you have paid me in returning me as your Representative for a tliird period of tkrec years, without any opposition whatsoever. I take this to indicate that you approve of my work on the Council for the last three years, and that you are satisfied with my representation of your Ward. In the face of your great confidence, you will perhaps allow me to say that I shall in the futurel as I have in the past, do everything I possibly can for what I conceive to be the interests of the PUBLIC. Again thanking you, I am, yours faithfully, Trefriw W. GRIFFITHS. Trefriw, Camtyla, April ist, 1914.

RHYMNEY DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, APRIL 6TH, 1914. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MIDDLE WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, At a meeting of the Trades and Labour Council, held at the Workmen's Institute, I was unanimously selected to contest the vacant Seat on the District Council in the Middle Ward. In response to the wishes of my fellow-workmen, I beg to offer myself as a Candi- date, and respectfully solicit your Vote and Interest. I have lived the whole of my life in your midst, and have taken some part, and an active interest in all the efforts that have been made from time to time to better the conditions and the lives of the workers in the district. The great majority of the Electors are Work- ingmen, and experience has taught us over and over again that if the workers want to have their rights, they must fight for them. No one can advocate your claims as well as one of yourselves. You will find in the Rhymney Council, as at present constituted, that the voice of Labour is out of all proportion to its claims. You have an opportunity at present to remedy matters. Fellow-workmen Be true to yourselves Should you honour honour me by Electing me on the District Council, I should do my utmost to serve you loyally, without fear or favour, with all the earnestness and sincerity I can command. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, THOMAS B. LEWIS. 9, Manest Street, Rhymney. March 26th, 1914.

RHYMNEY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION. MONDAY, APRIL 6th, 1914. I TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MIDDLE WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Having been pressed by many Electors, representing all sections of the com- munity, to become a Candidate at the forth- coming Election, I have finally decided to submit my Candidature for your approval. I am well-known personally to every Elector ift the Ward, having spent practically the whole of my life amongst you. You will allow me to state clearly that I should have a free hand to deal with all matters, and should you consider me worthy of being returned as your Representative, I shall endeavour, by every means in my power, to safeguard and support what I consider to be the best interests of the PUBLIC generally, I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GNvalia House, H. M. THOMAS. Cwalia House, March 30th, 1914.

RHYMNEY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION, APRIL 6TH, 1914. I TO THE ELECTORS OF THE ABERTYSSWG WARD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, Having been asked by a number of Ratepayers to contest the Seat now vacant on the above Council, I have decided to do 1'0, at my own expense, without encumbering the funds of any organisation. I believe I am known to most of the Electors, having served you upon various bodies for a eon. sidctable time. Should you elect me as your Representative, I shail feel it a pleasure and duty to serve you faithfully and conscientiously, having at all times due regard to the Rates, but = all the needs of the Working Classes. Yours obediently, W. WILCOX. Bourne Villa, 17, Carn-y-Tyla, Abertysawg, March 19tb, 1914.

RHYMNEY. PALM SUNDAY.—For artiicial wreaths on Palm and Easter Sunday, you cannot do better than at Israel Fine's, Lawn- terrace, Rhymney. MESSRS. T. A. FOWLER & SONS, RHYM- NEY COAL SUPPLY, have opened a Depot at Rhymney. Look out for the Wagons. Best Coal at 1/2 per cwt., or 20/- per ton, delivered. THE "SIXTH SENSE." The subject of the address to be given at the service for young people at Mount Carmel Congrega- tional Church, next Sunday evening, by the Rev. H. J. Coxon (pastor), will be The Sixth Sense." A "STAR" PREACHER.—We understand that the special preacher on the occasion of the annual meetings under the auspices of Beulah English Baptist Chapel, to be held on Sunday and Monday, April 19th and 20th, will be the Rev. Evan Williams, of Dalston Junction. The reverend gentle- man is one of the most popular preachers in the denomination, and his forthcoming visit to Rhymney is being looked forward to with interest. HOME MISSION.On Sunday last the usual Home Mission services were held at Beulah Chapel, when the pulpit was occu- pied in the morning and evening by the Rev. D. Hussey, secretary of the Mon- mouthshire Baptist Association, who delivered two impressive discourses, and made very earnest appeals for continued support on behalf of the Home Mission fund, so as to render all assistance possible to the weak churches in the county. THE ELECTIONS.—The polling in con- nection with the Urban District Council Election for the Middle Ward will take place on Monday next, at the Council Schools. Mr Ll. Reynolds, clerk to the council, is the returning officer. The three candidates, Messrs. D. S. Istance, T. B. Lewis, and H. M. Thomas, are promoting their candidature in a quiet way, but a complete canvass of the Ward is being arranged for. The contest is expected to prove a keen one. FINE'S SUITS LEADING.—If you wish to be "in the fashion a visit to one of Fine's Limited shops, in High-street, or The Square, will reveal a surprise at the very attractive display of the new season's suitings-ready to wear. Fifty years' experience is something of a record, and there is always satisfaction in wearing Fines' clothing. It looks well on the out- side, and the inside tailoring is as good as that seen on the surface Give it a trial A GREAT SOCIAL WORF,On Tuesday evening a lecture was delivered at Bryn- hyfryd Vestry (kindly lent for the occasion) by Adjutant Robinson, divisional officer of the Salvation Army, Cardiff. The attendance was rather disappointing. County Coun- cillor J. Edwards, J.P., presided, and after a brief address, Adjutant Robinson proceeded with his lecture, which dealt with the great work of the Salvation Army, its varied character and its effectiveness. The lecture was followed with intense interest by all present. Upon the motion of the Rev. R. E. Peregrine, B.D., seconded by Mr Ben. Jones, J.P., a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Adjutant Robinson for his instructive lecture. A similar compliment was passed to Councillor Edwards for pre- siding, and the proceedings closed with prayer by the Rev. R. E. Peregrine. It should be mentioned that a collection was taken at the close in aid of the Army movement. THE CHURCHES.—The annual report and financial statement in connection with Jerusalem Welsh Baptist Chapel, which was issued a few weeks ago by the respected secretary (Mr D. Narbed), reveals another year's excellent work. The Rev. T. E. Williams, the new pastor, has contributed a very appropriate address. Although he did not come amongst them until the extreme end of the year, he was pleased to find they had done much good work during the year, but still, there was room for improvement. He hoped to find by working together, as shepherd and flock, during 1914, they would accomplish much for the Master. He paid a tribute to the members for faithfulness in the weekly meetings, and hoped they would continue so, but there was place to improve the attendance at the Sunday school, and the work of same. Their motto should be "Excelsior! —With regard to the financial position, the amount contributed by mem- bers and congregation totalled P.290 7s. 8d. The weekly collection realised jC50 13s. 7d., and the Penny a Week iC12 lls. Sd. As the result of the effort made, the debt has been reduced by t35, leaving at the end of the year the substantial amount of t76 8s. lid. in the hands of the treasurer. The Sunday School fund also showed a good balance in hand of tll 13s. 2d. When it is realised that no appeal outside the church, in the form of concerts or performances has been made, the work of the year is highly gratifying to all concerned.
