HARBOUR NOTES. Mr. A. B. Lewis, chief officer on the Great Southern, saw the coffin enclosing the body of the late Mr. Redmond, brother of Mr. J. Red- mond, M.P., who recently died in Egypt, lying in state in Waterford Cathedral on Saturday. The people paid a mark of highest respect to the remains, as it appeared to Mr. Lewis. The Innisoarra was delayed for about eight hours on Saturday owing to the thick fog she struck on the Irish aide of the Channel. The express train from Goodwick was also delayed in consequence, and it wag was one o'clock in the afternoon when It left. At the annual meeting of the Cork Incor- porated Chamber of Commerce and Shipping, the president, Mr. S. H. Newsom, referred to tho Fishguard-Rosslare mail route between the South of Ireland and the South of Wales and England, and said this magnificent public en- terprise was welcomed by the travelling pub- lic as a great boon, and the hope was confi- dently expressed that it might be a means, owing to the rapid communication between England and Wales and Killarney and other districts in the -South of Irelan(t, of augment- ing the tourist traffic, which was now being so efficiently catered for throughout Ireland. Expedition of portion of the English and Welsh malls by the same route was regarded as an improvement by business people in the South of Ireland.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. The <1 i rpcors and sharehoulders of the Fishguard Market Company can congratu- late themselves upon their success within the last few years. Ttiey can also look forward hopefully to the future, for it is easy to predict that the prosperity of the Comp-tny is ornlv hnomruug. A handsome shop coulii, undoubtedly. he made in the front part of the market, with a display window towado the bquare, as has been proposed b v the C"n:paoy, and such a shop should produce a |;o ai profit to sotneOLie, and make the sbmeholders smile. x x x A day with the demagogues v. a] sug- gested by otie of the jovial crew themselves as the title oi an ""I tide on Saturday, but why not A dig at the Delphians," "A dive into diplomacy," or "The din of the diners All the other titll s would be equally biliter.itive and suitable and would be perhaps more appropriate as covering what they intended to say. Of what could be said, tuat is another matter, and all the oracles of the ages could be easily put into the shade, and into shame if the wisdom heard was retailed. They say that bridge is a sharpener of wits however. 0 x x x The departure of Mr. F. Salmon and his family from Fishguard will be looked upon with regret by a host of friends and ac- quaintances, while the arrival of his successor is sure to be watched with certain misgivings by certain gentlemen in the revenue district over" hich the officer will have to exercise vigilance. The Cymro dearly loves a little poaching, and in spite of all the excise officers in the world, he is sure to nud means of gratifying his taste some way or other. The man who has a gun, and who troubles nothing about taking out a license, t'ikes more delight probably in cheating the revenue than he does in the tiport itself. But it depends a great deal on the officer whom they have iskson to fear. In this matter Mr. Salmon, as far as this branch of bis duty goes, has circum- vented his natural enemies, the poachers, by makiug them respect him. His strict fairness and impartiality to all alike, has long eudeared all classes to him, and it is safe to say that this had the effeco in many cases, with the humbler type of poacher especially, of either curing him of poaching altogether, or of making him take out a license. x x x Speaking of poachers, there are two distinct types of these, one of which may be called the sporting poacher, and the other the downright thief. These latter are cowards and bullies, and go about in gangs, mostly at night, while the other poachers indulge in the practice merely for the love of the sport. Most of us know some of the latter class, and they are as jolly as they are cute as a rule, especially if you induce them to relate some of their hazardous ventures in quest of game. The instinct is too strong in them to deny themselves the pleasure which sometimes leads them iuto trouble; but when they are caught they give themselves up with the best grace possible, and are the readiest to admit that they have been out-done. Oh yes, we could tell apropos of this also of an incident that has happened recectly in Njrth Pembrokeshire. THE CELT.
. FISHCUARD.
FISHCUARD. HALF-HOLIDAY CHANGE. It has been finally decided we learn that Wednesday shall be the early-dosing day for the shops and business places cn and after Feb. 6th, instead of Friday, as has been the case before. DEBATE. This (Friday) evening, at the Lower Fish- guard Baptist Debating Society, the subject for debate will be Should Ministers of the Gospel Preach Politics?" Mr. W. H. Thomas, Castle Stores, will propose, and Mr. David Griffiths, High-street, will oppose. ANOTHER SOLICITOR FOR FISHGUARD. Professional men seem to have faith in the future of Fishguard, and this is demonstrated by the fact that another solicitor is about to commence practising in the town. He is Mr. W. Evans, Bodmar, who has just yeturned to his native district, and has decided to open an office in Main-street, almost on the square. CHANGE OF MARKET DAY. There is a proposal on foot to change the market day at Fishguard from Friday to Satur- day. The last-named! day has undoubtedly many advantages over the present one under the conditions that prevail now, as there are many who are unable to do their marketing before Saturday evening in the district. MAN SAVED AT LOWER TOWN. On Friday a man from the ketch Enid, which was moored near the quay in Lower Town Harbour, fell overboard, and was strug- gling in the water when he was seen by Mr. T. H. Evans, Badmor. Mr. Evans was pre- paring to jump in to the rescue when he be- thought himself of the lifebuoy. He threw out the buoy, and the strugglng man suc- ceeded in getting hold of it the first thiow, with the result that he was immediately pulled ashore. GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIEY. A splendid entertainment was held) at the Boys' National School on Friday night by the members of the Girls.' Friendly Society, who had been carefully trained by Mrs. W. Evans, Vicarage. There was a very good attendance, and the Vicar, the Rev. W. Evans, M.A., presided. The programme commenced with a pianoforte solo by Miss Margaret Tavener, followed by a recitation by Miss E. Griffiths. Then came an action song entitled Our Baby,' the solo being most sweetly sung by Miss Margaret Constance Evans, and the can- didates joining in the refrain after some' pretty gyraions* The song was encored, and the young singear had to appear a second time. The next was a song by Miss Tavener, and afterwards a recitation by Miss S. A. Williams, followied by a song by Miss Victor and recita- tion by Miss M. Rowlands, and a song by Mrs. Capt. Williams. Perhaps the most impor- tant piece of the evening was a Japanese sketch entitled" Katesumers Dower." The parts were taken by Miss Cissie Kelly, Miss Margaret Tanever, and Miss Marjorie Mclvor, who displayed exceptional ability, and were enthusiastically received. The costumes were very attractlev and well-studied. Another sketch, "Biddy of Cork," proved very popular. Miss Tavener took the part of Biddy," and the other performers were the Misses Pratt, Miss Clara Nicholas, and Miss Mabel Berrys. This sketch was of A yary amusing character, and excellently weiO acted. The accompanists were Miss Braithwaite, Miss Berry, Mies Tavener, and Mrs. Salmon. Mr. J. R. Richards warmly thanked those who had taken part in the entertainment, and said the performance had been a most excellent one throughout. The Vicar, in conclusion. sald a few words about the society, and xeanarJced that the members were unanimous and will- ing in everything they undertook.

MR. WALTER WILLIAMS AT FISHGUARD.
MR. WALTER WILLIAMS AT FISHGUARD. A meeting of the Fishguard and Good- wick Agricultural Co-operatlion Society was held at Fishguard on Thursday in last week. The meeting was preceded by a luncheon at the Com- mercial Hotel to members of the society. Among those present were Messrs. J. C. Yorks, J.P., presiding; J. Thomas, Tre- veigan; G. Perkins, Penysgwarne; V. J. G. Johns, Secretary of the North Pembrokeshire Farmers' Club; T. James, Caerlem, W. George James, D. Perkins, Trevelyn, J. J. Morris, Rafel; G. Per- kins, Trevayog; J. C. Bowen, W. H. Phillips, Cwmwdig; S. Lewis, Pembroke; T. Roberts, Llainbed; T. E. Thomas, Tre- hale; Griffiths (inn.), Prescilly; and —. Lewis, Tremynydd. Mr. Walter Williams, the organiser of the society for the whole of Wales, was present, and addressed the meeting. Un- fortunately, owing to the death of his young son, the secretary of the local branch, Mr. W. R. Thomas, Lianwnwr, was unable to attend, and a vote of condo- lence was passed to him in his bereave- ment. Mr. J. C. Yorke, in introducing Mr. Walter Williams, explained that Mr. Wil- liams' visit involved no expense for the local society, as the funds spent for or- ganising were contributed from all parts of England and Wales, and that Mr. Wil- liams was engaged as a sort of missionary to go about the country with the view of making farmers understand the principle and object of co-operation better, and to preach this gospel to all sorts and condi- tions of men. They had heard another doleful tale before lunch of the difficulties their society had to face, but if farmers were approached the right way they might get ten times more support. They all agreed on one point-that it was impos- sibe to run a society of that kind without having a shed and a man in charge in a central position. They had tried it with- out that, and it had been a failure to a great extent. They were quite satisfied that unless they had a depot they could not run the society successfully. They had been offered a site for a shed near Goodwick Station, and if they showed a little more enterprise and erected a shed, and gave more support to the society they would get on much better. Mr. Walter Williams thanked the chair- man for his kind words and suggestions, and repeated that he was a missionary, and that society, with its headquarters in Lon- dn, was supported by voluntary institu- tions, so that he had no axe to grind per- sonally. He came there to try and in- fuse some enthusiasm into the members of the society. There were some who would like to see the society making progress, and there were others who were merely luke- warm. On the whole he thought they were anxious to get on with the society. There were some, perhaps, who were not quite loyal to the society, but if perfect loyalty and a little enthusiasm were displayed they must get on. He mentioned the Cardi- gan and Carmarthen Society as having to contend with the same difficulties which they had to fight, and as the results showed, not without success. There were some of them who looked upon it too much from the shopkeeping point of view, the L s. d. point of view. Co-operation was more than £ s. d., although many mem- bers did make money out of it too. There was a tendency among farmers to buy cheap goods. Some time ago it was dis- covered that the worst seeds in the market were dumped down in South Wales. The other day their Secretary in London had an interview with a large merchant, and he said that since the formation of the so- ciety in South Wales farmers had become more wideawake about seeds, and had grown more inquisitive about the matter. That was one good point gained by the society. There were parts of the country where men would buy poor seeds now, and nothing would present them but co-opera- tion. They must use co-operation fair and square," and then it would pay them. The speaker next remarked upon the re- luctance of farmers as a rule to adopt new ideas and new methods, giving as an illus- tration the prejudice manifested at first against thrashing, mowing, and other ma- chines, and latterly in dairy farming against separators. The same, he main- tained, was the case with co-operation; farmers were slow to become convinced. Mr. \villiams quoted figures to show the headway made by co-operation in different parts of the country. Carmarthen had set an example to other districts in Wales, and the experiments in disposing of agricultural produce to the best advan- tage to farmers in different counties in England showed that co-operation brought profit to the home farmer and enabled him to hold his own against foreign competi- tion. He explained that co-operation was very different from a joint-stock company, and many looked upon co-operation with suspicion because of the failure of some dairy companies which were joint-stock concerns. He wished to impress upon them that the object of co-operation was not to under-cut prices, but once they got far- mers to take active interest in a co-opera- tive society, there v r-s nothing better to keep them together, because it paid them. If any gentlemen in the local society in- tended to retire he hoped that their places would be filled by others. Mr. E. Perkins said that their chairman had decided to keep on. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Walter Williams said he was very glad to hear it. He wished to see the society gaining more support in a volun- tary manner, and to see more people com- ing to accept the principles of co-opera- tion. He thought they had an able secre- tary in Mr. W. R. Thomas, and he thought it would be the best way of show- ing their sympathy with Mr. Thomas in his bereavement by determining to go on stronger than before. Discussion being invited, Mr. J. C. Yorke suggested that the so- ciety should sell at the same price as other merchants, and not under-cut prices; and divide the profit at the end of the year. Mr. E. Perkins said he was now quite converted that it was unwise to cut prices, and now that Mr. Williams had come to have a look round, they could look for- ward to extending their work. One rea- son that they had not done better was the keenness of his neighbours, wRo were all smart business men. He suggested that meetings should be held outside Fish- guard-in Newport, Letterston, Punches- ton, Mathry, and other places. Mr. T. James, Caerlem, offered the sug- gestion that Letterston might be a better centre than Fishguard. Mr. Thomas, Treveigan, thought Croes- goch would be a good centre. Mr. J. C. Bowen said there was talk about the Great Western Railway having a new siding at Heathfield. In that case they could not have a better situation for a shed. Messrs. W. George James, W. G. James, Pantyphillip; T. E. Thomas, Tre- hale, and others spoke, and the chairman put the two following resolutions to the meeting, which were unanimously adopted: (1) That this meeting desires to impress upon the managers of the Great Western Railway the advisability of grant- in a site at Heathfield, Letterston, to farm- ers of the district to collect large quantities

The inhabitants of Dinas enjoyed another treat at St. Brynach's Church last night (Thursday, the 7th). This time the juvenilei, well trained by the respected rector, the Rev. J. G. Williams, supplied the programme. Full particulars next week. The programmes for the coming singing fes- tival to be held at Tabor next Easter have been distributed, and practices are now being held. It is to be hoped that the next Cymanfa will equal, if not outshine, the previous ones. The anthem this year is one by Mr. David Thomas, F.T.S.C., Pontypridd, entitled Gwerthfawr yn ngholwg yr Arglwydd." Capt. T. James, Glanteg, one of the prospec- tive candidates, if not the only one, for the coming Council election, visited Haverfordwest last Tuesday, and was introduced to the Libe- ral party by Dr. Havard, the present member, who is not seeking re-election, and who has served his constituency most faithfully for the last eighteen years.

Mr. Edwin Bennett, Ashgrove, Dinas, who for many yeaa-s has taken such pride in the rearing of "Clumber" spaniels, received last week the high price of fifteen guineas for his prize dog registered "Bwchyn." This dog has participated in many contests, and was invariably successful in securing substantial prizes for its speculative master. Other dogs from the same kennel have been disposed of, and good prices were realised. INTERESTING WEDDING. On Thursday of last week a very interesting marriage took place at Bethania Baptist Chapel, Cardigan, the Rev. J. Williams per- forming the ceremony. The contracting parties were Capt. E. 0. Evans, RosewaJl, Dinas, and Miss Jessie Maurice, daughter of the Rev. J. W. Maurice, president of the Welsh Baptist Union. The bride, who was given away by her father, was charmingly attired in pale dove grey silk Eolene elaborately trimmed over silk foundation. She also wore a picture hat to match. The bridemaid was Miss Evans, Rosewall, who was prettily dlressed in cream silk Eolene trimmed with pale blue over silk foundation and a picture hat to match. Mr. T. D. Maurice, the bride's brother, acted as best man. After the ceremony the party pro- ceeded to the Commercial Hotel, where lun- cheon was prepared'. Several guests were in- vited. The happy pair left with the four o'clock train for Tenby, where the honeymoon is being spent. The bride's travelling coe- tume was of brown cloth trimmed with white cloth, and wore a sable toque and furs to match. The presents were numerous and costly. CHURCH MEETINGS. The monthly meetings in connection with the Calvinistic Methodists were held, as announc- ed in last week's issue, at Brynhenllan, on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The first meeting was held on Tuesday evening, when the Rev. F. Lamb, Fishguard, introduced the service, and the Revs. R. Williams, St. David's, and W. Morris, Cwmaman, Aberdare, preached on Wednesday at 10; the Rev. D. Morgans, St. Dogmells, read and prayed, while sermons were delivered by the Rev. Maurice Griffiths, M.A., Llanelly, and the Rev. W.

Stephen Thomas, Penhwyr, Dinas, introduced the ser- vice, and the Revs. J. D. Symonds, Goodwick, and W. Morris, Cwmaman, preached.

CODUVIICK. I
CODUVIICK. I Before the Mathry Bench on Frid'ay last Mr. V. J. G. Johns applied on beihalf of Mr. D. L. Llewelyn, chemist, for a wine licence. A letter had been sent to the clerk trom Goed- ning Chapel to oppote the licence, but the magistrates favoured the application, and the licence was granted. The very sudden death of Mrs. Evans, wife of Mr. William Evans, Morning Star, caused great surprise and even consternation in Good- wick on Wednesday last. Deceased was quite a young man, not thirty years of age, and was supposed to be strong and healthy. The cause of death was heaart disease. She was well known at Goodwick, as well as her hus- band, who is driving the compressor on the works, though their relations, live in Solva, where deceased was buried on Sunday. She leaves two young children.
MUNICIPAL TRADINC.
MUNICIPAL TRADINC. An interesting debate was held at the Read- ing Room on Monday night, when the subject was municipal trading, with Mr. Dellar pro- posing a motion against the system. Rev. T. Jenkins presided, and the secretary, Mr. Clarke, read a letter received from the Pem- broke Dock Debating Society, suggesting an inter-debate with Goodwick. MT. R. Howarth proposed that such a meeting should be held, and Mr. W. Moses seconded. It was further suggested that the debate should be on Whether British Railways Should Belong to the State." Mr. Dellar, m opening the evening's de- bate, said that he was convinced that munici- pal trading was not advantageous to the gene- ral public. In the first place, the speaker said, in no instance could it be proved that it paid. Secondly, private enterprise had shown it could cater for the public, and that the pre- sent system was killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Thirdly, they did not get the right men on their various councils to make municipal trading profitable. The speaker dealt extensively with the work of the L.C.C., and made allegations against the officials of cooking the accounts. The steamboat venture was adduced as an instance where municipal trading did not pay. Mr. Dellar halted at the subject of L.C.C. trams, and said it was a sub- ject much too big for him, but here, too, he said there had been juggling of accounts. The speaker kept aU the time in London, and took particular pleasure in summing up the delin- quencies of the L.C.C., quoting figures "cooked" or otherwise, for or against munici- pal trading. (It depeuds on which side you argue). Afterwards tiams, water, and gas came in for a share of criticism, and Mr. Dellar. said that instead of these companies taken over by the L.C.C. relieving the rates, the ratels had been going up. (A voice: "You can't buy a cow to have milk and keep the money.") The speaker seemed to believe that a greal deal f corruption existed in London municipal affairs, and appeared very anxious to have the guilty persons exposed. The Chairman said Mr. Dellar had handled the L.C.C. roughly, and after that he thought that body deserved to be left alone for a bit. Mr. J. C. Bowen, in repfy to a request to give the house his opinion as to whether municipal trading and co-operation were allied subjects, said he thought there was no close relation between the two, except that neither had been successful. The house agreed that the charge of the roads should be in the hands of local authorities. The hon. proposer had given them the fextreme instances against mu- nicipal trading. There were other projects for the public good which were better in the hands of the authorities. Mr. Clarke briefly criticised the arguments on both sides, and pointed out that public works did not entirely depend upon the plofite made, but rather inclined to benefit the public as a whole. Mr. M. Moses thought that co-operation was the essence of municipal trading. What he objected to were the big companies which they found in America. Mr. Bishop agreed with the motion. Mr. R. Howarth was also entirely in accord with the motion. They were able to obtain everything necessary, and at reasonable rates from the private trader, who, while supplying best-quality goods, was often ready to make a reduction for ready cash. Mr. Bluett contended that trams, water, gas, etc., should be under municipal control, and owned by the people rather by those who ex- ploited the people for their own unscrupulous ends. After Mr. Dellar had briefly replied, the majority present voted in favour of the mo- tion, which was carried. On Feb. 15th Mr. Drew will move "That vegetarianism is a farce," and Mr. R. Howarth will oppose.
SOLVA.
SOLVA. Several People are down with influenza in this district, and many case6 are of a serious nature. The schooner Leila, of Bridgwater, (Capt. Preece), arrived last week with a cargo of sup- erphosphate from Dublin for Mr. A. O. Wil- liams, merchant. Missionary meetings in connection with Fel- inganol and Mount Pleasant Baptist Churches will be held this year on March 24th and 25th next, when the Revs. R. Jones, Groesgoch and 0. J. Owen, Wattstown, are expected to offici- ate. A choir is being formed) to compete atBlaen- llyn Eisteddfod from the Baptist churches of the above place, under the conductorship of Mr. Tom Griffiths, and we hope they will win. A practice has already taken place. Prizes for Sunday school atendance during the year were given last Sunday afternoon at Felinganol and Mount Pleasant Chapels. The books (which were well worth having) were distributed at the former place by the respect- ed pastor (the Rev. Thomas Davies), and at the latter by our genial schoolmaster, Mr. W. D. Evans. It is, hoped that these prizes will be the means of improving the attendance during this year. The annual entertainment of the scholars of the council school will soon be- held, and we understand that it will be the best yet given Rehearsals are taking place several nights. weekly, and groat interest and) pains is being taken by the headmaster and staff to get up a splendid programme this year again. Pre- vious entertainments have been a decided suc- cess and a credit to aJl concerned.

For instance, when a person is in agonising pain, or is in despair at the rapid spread of a malignant dis- ease, it is charity to be brief. It its at such critical periods t-hat we would urge the necessity of using MANNINA without wasting time in declaiming upon its merits, and if you do not possess a supply of this wonderful Ointment, to procure it with all speed. When the beneficial eSects of MANNINA HAS ONCE BEEN FELT, the sufforer will not be slow to speak without qualification in its favour. Old campaigners know the value of strategy, so the best physicians and the highest medical auth- orities when their resources are taxed to the utmost admit that the remedy may lie in certain simple herbs found in different parts of the world, whose active powers, when brought into combination, are able to effect a cure without the least doubt of failure. MANNINA is the registered name of a most valu- able discovery which a native of Fishguard, Pem- brokeshire, brought home from South Africa, and is composed, mainly, of herbs indigenous to that country. It is prepared in the form of an Ointment, in three degrees of strength No. I, Full; No. II, Medium; No. III, Mild. NO- I, THE MOST POWERFUL, is to be used in CANCEROUS GROWTHS of all kinWs, such as Cancer on the breast, lip, &c., and also for tumours. NO. II is milder than No. I, and is to be applied in cases of ulcerated legs, carbuncles, fistula, foul wounds of every description, poisoned hands, abscesses, scalds, burns, erysipelas, scurvy. No. III, being of a still milder nature, is to be used for all skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, chapped ard bleeding hands, chilblains, itch, &c. MANNINA gives almost instant relief and pro- duces such a soothing effect that it convinces the sufferer at once of its marvellous heating virtues. By removing the pain it enables the sufferer to sleep when sleep had been impossible for weeks or months. Some of the cures wrought by using MANNINA OINTMENT seem incredible, but as the original testimonials and proofs in the possession of the proprietors show, they are in every particular true. MANN INA is now used in several London Hos- pitals, and it has completely cured many persons who had given up all hope of being relieved from the terrible agony they were enduring, and the lives I it has saved are numerous. This marvellous remedy can be obtained from I the following Chemists;- "Maninna" Ointment Co., Main Street, Fish. guard; or from Messrs. Thos. Lewis, Chemist, Fishguard; F. D. Phillips, Haverfordwest; H. A. Williams, Letterston; Albert David, St. Davids; J. Williams, Newport, Pem.; T. Mey- ler, Chemist, Fishguard; and D. Llewellyn, Chemist, Goodwick; Moore & Co., Chemists, etc., Pembroke Dock; J. D. Harries, M.P.S., Hamilton Terrace Milford Haven. The Advantage of using Disinfectants is NOT ONLY TO FIGHT disease AFTER its development, BUT TO CHECK it in its infancy before any danger results. The multiplication of infectious germs can be easily prevented by lightly sprinkling CALVERT'S 15% Carbolic Disinfecting Powder regularly down drains and closets, over ashpits, refuse heaps, and other places likely to attract or harbour them. The REFINED and CONCENTRATED quality of Carbolic used, and the definite guarantee of strength make this Powder a really efficient disinfectant, and it has the fur- ther advantages of being easy to apply and safe to use. 6d., is. & is. 6d.
