NARBERTH NEWS. OMISSroN We regret that we omitted mentioning last week in the account of the wedding of Mr and Mrs Bentley Mathias that, the Rev W. E. Stephens, Narbertb, officiatad. OO FOOTBALL. Unfortunately the match arranged with Tenby County School could not come off last Saturday, but this t3am is expected at Narberth, and we hope to witness a good game. OO PRIZE DISTRIBUTION.—The annual dis- tribution of prizes at the County School will be held on December 1st. We are promised the same rich variety of enter- tainment as in former years, and already some farces are being got up, and some Shakespeare plays are being rehearsed for the occasion. 00 NIGHT SCHOOLS.—Mr F. T. Bowen's evening classes at the National School are this year again flourishing. The number on the books is 62, and the attendance is very good. Classes are held on three nights in the week. These classes are open to all, and there is many a craftsman who has learnt and is learning the most necessary rules of mensuration under the able tuicion of Mr Bowen, whose enterprise in this direction is worthy of great praise as he has succeeded in keeping the evening classes for the long period of 8 years, an almost impossible feat in Narberth. OO THE FIFTI-I.-MOnaberS of the Constab- ulary in plain clothes serve to warn us or the dangers which our Constitution once ran of being subverted by the intrigues of our Spanish friend, Mr Fawkes. There were no serious accidents to chronicle, and the streets were unusually quiet. Most of the town's hatred of the Catholics was discharged in back gardens. OO HEALTH L.ECTUP.Es.-We are informed that Miss Knot, lecturer under the York- shire County Council, will deliver a course of six lectures on Friday afternoons at the County School on "Health and Hygiene in the Home." The lectures will be open to all interested on payment of the modest fee of 6d. We trust that they will be well attended. OO WEDDING.—On Saturday last, the 4th inst., a popular young couple from Nar- berth were quietly united in the bond of matrimony (by licence) at the Hebron Baptist Chapel, Saandersfoot. The con- tracting parties were Mr Levi James, of the Golden Sheaf, Narberth, draper (a native of Gelly, Llawhaden), and Miss Sarah Ann Williams, the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Thomas Williams, of Castle Terrace, Narberth. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a blue tailor-made costume with hat to match, and she was attended by Miss Gertrude Lawrence, of Saundersfoot, and Miss Davies, of Maengwyn, Clynderwen and the bridegroom was supported by Mr Thos. Evans, of Albert House, draper. The Rev W. E. Stephens, of Narberth, officiated, both of the contracting parties being members of his church at Narberth, the bride having acted for many years as organist. Mr Thomas David, The Foun- dry, Saundersfoot, presided at the organ. This was the first wedding since the chapel was registered, and a large number of the inhabitants of Saundersfoot were present to witness the ceremony. After the cere- mony the happy couple and their guests partook of the wedding breakfast at the Cambrian Hotel, which was provided by the host and hostess, Mr and Mrs John Ormond, in their usual excellent style. The happy pair left Saundersfoot by the mid-day train for Cardiff where part of the honeymoon was spent. OO MECHANICS' IUSTITUTE.—Thls noble INSTITUTION is again lifting its head ia our midst, and Narberth is to be congratulated on the fact. The Committee of this Institution has becn able to obtain funds (through the means of a Carnival, &c.) to renovate and repair the reading room which is under the auspices of this organisation. The work has been entrusted to Messrs Charles Davies and W. Stannet, and is approaching completion. When finished the room will present a cosy and comfortable appearance, and it is hoped that the enterprise of the Committee will be rewarded by a swelled list of subscribers and above all-intellige)at users of the books and papers provided.
