KIDWELLY. The Esther Grimes Opera Company is here this week. This is the very first visit of an opera company to Kidwelly, and the visit should be a successful one—but we are afraid it will not be 80. Last week an interesting billiard match of 750 up was played at Llanelly between Mr. J. H. Elias, Kidwelly, and Mr .Fred Griffiths, Llanelly. After a most exciting game the latter came out the winner by a small score. The game lasted two hours. POLICE COURT.-On Thursday of last week be- fore Messrs. W. D. James, mayor, and G. E. Bowen, a gipsy woman named Rose Smith, alias Price (49) was brought up in custody and charged by P.C. D. J. Davies with stealing the sum of 2s. by means of a trick from Mrs. Eynon, of the Mason's Arms, Kidwelly. From the evidence tendered it seems defendant went to the Masons' Arms and askod for Is. worth of rum. She being in a drunken state this was refused her. She afterwards asked Mrs. Eynon for a 2s. piece for two shillings, and on Mrs. Eynon presenting the florin she made a snatch for it and decamped. P.C. Davies apprehended her on the Carmarthen road. Defendant pleaded guilty, and asked for leniency as she was in drink at the time. She also said she belonged to a respectable gipsy family, the Prices. The Mayor spoke most sternly to her, and said people of her kind could not be allowed to go about the country doing wrong like this. She was sent down for 14 days. Last Sunday being "flowering Sunday the custom of decorating the graves of dear ones gone before was observed almost universa lly, and for a few days previous to Sunday St. Mary's Church- yard especially presented a very interesting ap- pearance, so many persons being engaged at tl 3 task of cleaning up the graves. Considering the early date upon which Palm Sunday fell this year, and the scarcity of flowers, the display on the whole was most creditable.
