Mrs '1 homas followed her sons and daughter to Glamorganshire, where she lived for many years at Ferndale and New Tredegar. The body reached Goodwick station by the 4 o'c'ock train on Siturday afternoon, and conveyances were sent to convey the mourners by Mr D. Richards, Royal Oak."

Among the chief mourners were the daughter, Alet Mathias, and the sons, Mr James James, Mr Levi Thomas, and Mr William Thomas. The following team played Letterston last Saturday :—Goal, A. Stevens full backs, S. J. Pitt, J. Gibbon; half backs, Bob smith, Ll. Davies and Ben James forwards, S. Jones, D. Lewis, R. P. Lewis, Gt. Hanies and Geo. Moses. They journeyed to Letterston in a brake. Letterston won the toss and selected to play with the wind and down the gradient. After a few minutes' play, Moses shot the first goal fox Fishguard. A penalty kick resulted in another goal by Moses. Four more goals were scored in the first half for Fishguard. Second half-Eleven goals were scored for Fishguard in the Sr cond half, one only for Letterston. It would not be fair to in- dividualise players, as all played such a good game. This score constitutes a record for Fishguard. If this team could be kept together, it would give some good display of I football. The final score was Fishguard, 17 goals Letterston, 1 goal. ♦j* On the 16th inst. the death occurred of Mrs Marthas Davies, of Gongol, High-street.
