LLANDUDNO OCCASIONAL UOTES. I QHMSTMAS IB COMING. j Tho ladies who take a leading part in obtain- ing subscriptions for the" purpose of giving aged residents who are not too well endowed with thia world's goods an annual treat remind us that the festive season is fast approaching. There has been plenty of collecting and subscribing lately for the bereaved widows and orphans. But, notwithstanding this outpour of, generosity in a nation's cause, an annual Christmas social oannot be allowed to drop. Consequently, Mrs Morgan (The. Rectory), Mis Gooda (Holme Lea.), Mrs Dawson (Tower View), Mrv Raymond, Mrs BMrow Williams, Mrs Roberts (Huytoo), Mis Reeves-Hughes, Miss Hindle, and Miss Roberts (London House), have written us that they in- tend holding the event at the Cocoa* House, which the aged poor have enjoyed so immensely for several years. We feel sure the residents will open their hearts and also their purses m this matter; and that the ladies named above will receive subscriptions to the usual amount. THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS. We would draw our readers' attention to the annual sale of work—varieties (suitable for Christmas gifts), dairy produce, plants, useful gMm?nta, etc.,—which, will take place next Tuesday, D?c&mbpr 12th, at the Na.tion&ll Schools, Church-walks. The Hon. Mrs H. Moetyn, Bodysgallen, will open the sale at three o'clock. The proceeds will be devoted towards the funds of the National and Bodafoin Schools. These schools, without exception, aro doing ex- oellent work in the education of the young of Iiandnidno and Bodafon. Both in the Diooosan and Government Examinations the annual re- ports prove their efficiency. MR WAS. NEUFELD NEXT WEK. Don't forget that the "Mahdi's prisoner" gives his illustrated lecture at the Pier Pavilion next Friday evening, the 15th inst. This will, in all probability, be. the only occasion upon which Mr Neufeld can be heard in North Wales, as he is soon returning to the Soudan. It is a wonder- ful story that he has to tell. Next to Siatin he knows more about the Soudan than any living aim Mr Neufeld, in an interview, published in the "Daily Chronicle" recently, takes a view of the prospects of the country which certainly does not err on the aide of pessimism. He does nob believe that there will be any further trouble with the Dervishes, and, in view of the crushing defeat of the Khalifa's forces, his belief is no doubt justified. There may be a few skirmishes, but no further uprising of a serious nature. Most of the emirs are dead, fallen fighting rouinl their lord, who, for all his iniquities, at any rate died a soldier's death. Mr Neufeld even be- lieves that the power of Osman Digirn is at end, though we confess to an uncomfortable feeling that that "eel-like person" may turn up again and perhaps raid one of Cook's steamers on the way to Khartoum. With war at an end, Mr Neufeld thinks that a great future will open for the rich territories which lie to the south of the desert land, and1 that the lands between the Blue Nile and the White Nile will blossom as a rose. He even thinks that the mineral resources of the l Soudan are capable of development, and de- scribes how the natives brought him "gold, sil- ver, copper, lead, and iron," which they ex- tracted from the ground by their own rough methods. And, lastly, there is the old trade which may be revived—the trade in rubber, gum, ostrich feathers, ivory, and eoony. For full particulars of the lecture see our advertise- ment columns. I ANOTHER PATRIOTIC ENTERTAINMENT. We are glad to note from a paragraph in a contemporary last week that arrangements are being made by a committee to hold a second entertainment on December 27th at Ravieres Opera House. At, a meeting held rerently sub- committees were appointed to arrange details. We hope. that even a bigger sum will be cleared for the county fund than was realised at the event on the 22nd nit. The. dramatio performances given by the Oem- way amateurs at the Town Hall on Wednesday and Thursday evenings were an immense suc- cess from every point of view. The demand for tickets was enormous. The grand result reflects the greatest credit upon Mr Chas. F. Farring- ton and Mr Wm. Dutton. They had "worked it up" admirably. THE CONWAY RUR-AL DISTRICT I COUNCIL, at its monthly meeting last Friday discussed a I matter which, for the sanitary welfare of the whdc district, ought soon to be acted upon. We allude to the proposed erection of an i.,? tion hospital on a. convenient site whicnwilt serve for Conway Borough as well as the Rural District; and far that matter, we think Mr Raynes's suggestion for Colwyn Bay to jClin m the movement an excellent one. The whole diR- tri -t has absolutelv at present no provision what- ever in case of an outbreak of any infectious dis- ease. This is a ftrious risk to run and, as the Chairman (Mr Phillips) aptly pointed out, it is high time this risk ceased to exist. The outside local authorities cannot expect Llandudno, as one member suggested, to allow cases to he brought into* their isolation hospital. This sug- gestion i-i as unreasonable as it is impracticable. The authorities in question must bestir them- pelves, and erect A hospital in t central position near The Junction, but at the same time on a site that will not interfere with building operar tione. This can oaeily be aocomp.ished, and at a cost which, spread over the district, would not be heevy.
