At the Brecon borough police court on Monday be- fore the mayor and other magistrates, Rees Thomas Heins. was summoned for failing to subdue the lights of his shop. Defendant said the young lady in the shop was a little late in shading the lights. The Mayor: You admit the offence? Mr Heins: 0 yes. I knew nothing about it until I had the summons.

There was a good attendance, over which Rev. C. A. H&rries (pastor) presided. After discussion it was decided to hold a guild every fortnight, on a Wednesday evening. It was also decided that instead of electing several committees and s-ub-committet s. to carry out the arrangements for the meetings, that it should he placed in the hands of one general committee. This committee was therefore accordingly appointed. The new Mayor made use of his customary prerogative at the police court on Monday, by "letting off" the first person called before him. This was a tradesman s car- ter Ebenezer Williams, who was summoned for driving a horse and van without lights. The mayor addressed the defendant thus: You are charged with a very ser- ious offence and you are liable to a penalty of kloo. It seems it is the custom of this court on the first case coming before it on the appointment of the new Mayor to let the person charged off. So you must consider I yourself a very lucky person indeed. It is my pleasant duty, and I hope it will be a caution to you. Defend- ant: I thank you. Miss Mona Jones, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs Jones. The Gaer. Brecon. has just heen appointed to a very important post under the Westefn Union Anglo, American Cable Company, and takes up her duties this week. Miss Jones, who is only 19 years of age, after a highly successful course at thp Welsh Girls' School. Ashford, Middlesex, entered St. George's College, Hol- born, London. where she did so extremely well that she was one qf three selected out of the whole school and re- commended by the Principal for the post, which she now takes up at a salary reaching a maximum of over 9,200 per annum in about five years. Her success reflects great credit on both herself and her pHrents, and will cause those who know the seniat people at the Gaer to think of her with pride. Both Miss Mona Jones and her sister. Miss Lena Jones, have for some time been work- ing at the War Office, and have both been officially com- plimented on the excellence of their work. We wish both the distinction which their early brilliant and well- merited success promise. The feature of the Church of England National Mis- sion services at Brecon last week-end were the two open- air gatherings. As far as Brecon is concerned they were quite unique. On Thursday evening the open-air service was held on the Bulwark. and at which the Bishop of Swansea delivered a very impressive address to a large crowd. The crowd was very much increased in proportion on the fallowing Friday afternoon, when there was a "procession of witness" from the Priory Church to the Bulwark followed by an open-air service. The Bishop again gave the address, and the gathering of clergy and laity was thoroughly representative of the rural deanery. The services on Sunday and Mon- day were conducted by the Missioner, Canon Watkin Jones. of Christ Church, Swansea. There were crowded congregations and the Message was delivered with great power. A notable service was that for men on Sunday afternoon, when the congregation comprised members of almost all the denominations in the town, and Canon .Tones' address was a very striking one, his "straight talk" being much appreciated. Some of the other ser- vices were not less notable and altogether the- mission at Brecon was a very great success.

A young Talgarthian, named James Phillips, who has for some time been in France with the Motor Sec- tion of the Guards' Divisional Supply Corps, quite re- cently met an old friend, Mr Reggie Morris, who used to be a chauffeur with Capt.

The appeal will be heard at Quarter Sessions on Jan- uary 2nd. A sensation was caused here by the discovery of the bodv of Miss Blanche Mary Simpson in the canal on the 2nd inst. Deceased, 24 years of age, was last seen alive on the canal hank the previous evening at five o'clock. She is the daughter of Dr. Samuel Simpson, Gilwern. No reason can be assigned for the tragic discovery.

HIRWAIN. Major G. R. Powell (Tynewydd) is now in command of a battalion of the Warwickshire Regiment on imperial service. At Pendervn petty sessions, on the 26th ult.. Sarah J. Williams, licensee of Golden Lion Inn, Hirwain, was fined 40/- for permitting intoxicating liquor to be con- sumed on the premises aftar hours.

Alluding to the work of mission- aries in Madagascar for the last 17 years, Mr Evans said much success had attended their efforts, but there was still a vast field of labour before them. As an ex- ample of what he meant, he said a native woman, who had embraced the Christian faith, in giving her testi- mony, declared that previous to her conversion she was well-known as a fowl-stealer, but that since her eon- version she did not steal fowls—she only took the eggs.

LLANGYNIDR. Sergt. W. Perkins, Staffordshire Regiment, son of Mr and Mrs Perkins, Canal Bank, is home on short leave. He was one of hte first in the district to enlist at the outbreak of the war. The services recently held in this parish in connect- ion with the above mission were of a most inspiring character and were besides very largely attended, not- withstanding the prevailing weather conditions which could scarcely have been more unfavourable. The Rev. Richard W. Jones, Vicar of Gorseinon, near Swansea, was the Bishop's messenger, and by the deep earnest- ness of his manner, his eloquence, and even more by his powers of illustrating and explaining his subjects, created in the minds of his hearers an impression that is not likely soon to be effaced. The following was the list of mission services, organised and arranged by the Rev. Cave Palmer, curate in charge, who it will be remember- .ed was recently in sole charge of the parish of Llan- Ilattock :-Thursday, 2nd. 3 p.m., service for women only; 7.30, service for men only; Friday, 3rd, 6 a.m. and 8 a.m..
