CHRISTMAS AT MEATH. I ROUND THE SHOPS. Although there are but few visible signs, of preparations at present for the forth- coming festive season, yet, the heavy dc*- liveries a.t the business premises of our [ leading public purveyors afford an iudica- tion that there is something domg of a por- tentious nature. Whilo pcuno take a. pe..i- inistic or gloomy outlook, which betokens that they are not likely to be at the front in these cruicial +imes, others who have adopted as their motto "business as usual" show that they are determined to "kp the flag flying" and putting on a cheerful countenance are prepared to make a, rare display. The notices from advertisers in, our columns arc fewer tTu? year, as might be expected in such exceptional times, yet it la cratifyiiiir to find that many of the i names fIgunng at this period are still to the fere. We trust that. their enterprise will be rewarded, and hope that they may find profitable ?rvioe in mtuifciiuE to the re- quLreæent3 of their patrou,. As prenously J remarked, there is no significant note at present of preparation, yet we venture to predict that, uixt week there will be an j ample display in the various shop windows of the town. In this spirit of prediction, and after some observation, we will briefly I direct the attention of our readers to the of advertisers and the promised dis- play for the season now a.t hand. I It is officially announced in our columns i that, the Christmas markets will be held on Wednesday and Thursday next, when it is I to be hoped good business will result. Messrs. Tom and W.

1 RIFLE WENT OFF. I NEATH SOLDIER INJURED AT BARRY DOCK. An ii)cident. which nearly resulted if the death of a soldier, occurred at Barry Dock at an early hour on Sunday. A section of the 12th Welsh Regiment. which is now in training at Barry, under 1 he command of Colonel Ammennay. was told off for protection duty at the Barry Company's power station, near the Island-road, alongside to tho entranca oi Barry No. 1 Dock. The aruard u as being changed, when by ecmp means or other, which have not yet been explained, the rifle of j Pte. Morris, a noldier of the guard coming on? duty, wa? d?schar?ed. the buU?? I striking Pte. W. Wheeler, a member of the guard going on duty, badly woupd, ing him. The bullet entered his botlv on the left side, just below the heart, passing out under the left shoulder. Private H. Wheeler, who ie a native of Neath, was at once placed on the ambu- lance and conveyed to the military reoeiv- ing hospital at Barry Island, where he was attended by Dr, Bilhivs and the regi- mental surgeon, Colonel Rees. The in- juries being of such a serious nature, j Wheelr-r was later removed to the King Edward YII. Hospital, Cardiff. The unfortunate man, although badly wounded. had a miraculous escape from instant death. The b illet first passed through the butt of his title and then into the body, just massing in its upward course, the he^irt and lung. Private Morris. ?"ho is a native of Car- marthen, was placed under arrest, pending an inquiry by the military authorities into the circumstances of the affair, which are at present shrouded in mystery. It is stated that whilst the guard was being changed, Morris's rifle came in con- tact with the barrel of another rifle, and in this way, it is suggested, the trigger was touched and the charge accidentally fired. Wheeler joined Kitchener's Army a month ago. i =s
