YSTKAD MEURIGj
YSTKAD MEURIG St. David's Day Celebrations.—The students of St. John's College School held their ban- quet on St. David's Eve. The Rev. H. M. Williams. Lledrod, was in the chair, and was supported by the Rev. John Jones, M.A., headmaster, Rev. S. A. Jones, second master, and Mr Osborne Jones. After the cloth was removed, the toast of the King, Queen, and Royal Family was given by the Rev. John Jones, M.A. The immortal memory of St. David was proposed by the Rev. H. M. Wil- liams, Lledrod, who said that St. David's great idea was to unite the people of Wales together and lie (Mr Williams) expressed his opinion that if it had not been for the quarrelling of the potty princes, Wales would not be a con- quered country. The Army and Navy and the Auxiliary Forces were proposed by Mi- Richards, Strata Florida, who has been for many years in South Africa. He urged all the young men to join the volunteers when- ever a chance offered itself. Conscription then would be unnecessary. Mr Harris- Lewis responded, saying that the foreign powers never seemed to be tired of criticising us in the way we spend money on the navy and army. We could comfort our- selves on the fact that the cheap- est goods were not always the best and that we had, as had recently been shown a first-class fighting machine in our forces. The Welsh Church and Clergy were proposed by Mr Brooks-Davies, who said that at the pres- ent time more than ever the Welsh Clergy were identifying themselves with national pursuits and ideas and the Church were quite entitled to the name of the Welsh Church. It had long ceased to be the Church of Eng- land in Wales. It spoke well of the constancy of the Welsh Clergy that they had weathered the storms of political opinion in the past. As proof that a man could be both a strong Churchmana nd a patriotic Welshman he would only remind them of the late Dean Howell, or for that matter refer them to the Head- master.—Rev. S. A. Jones responded and said that they were living in the Diocese where St. David was bishop of. There was a Brit- ish Church planted in the vicinity long before Rome scepoed in. — The toast of Trustees, Headmaster, and Second Master of St. John's College School was proposed by Mr Harris Wil- liams who believed the -trustees always sup- ported any proposal of the Headmaster for the good of the institution. He (the Speaker) had heard of the Headmaster of Ystrad Meurig years ago and it was the ambition of his life to come there. He hoped the Headmaster would be spared for a long time to continue the good work he was doing.—The Headmaster I responded' and gave some interesting reminis- cences of time gone by which were very heartily applauded.—The toast of Sr. John's College was proposed by Mr R. Osborne Jones, Swyddffynon, who said that before lie came to Cardiganshire he often wondered how the Cardiganshire boys were so often to the front in the ministry. He had now no doubt that it was mainly due to St. John's College School. --Mr J. E. Hughes, the senior scholar, re- sponded and gave an interesting speech and said he hoped their loyalty to Ystrad Meurig would follow them through me. He was look- ing forward to the time when they. could hold a great re-union of past and present scholars of the school which would include some of the most prominent clergymen in Wales. The Ystrad Meurig Footbalt Club was proposed by Mr R. O. Roberts, who spoke in his usual racy manner.—Mr J. T. Lewis, captain, responded and said he wished to thank the Headmaster and Second Master as well as the school at large for the consideration and kindness they had always shown to the members of the teams. He believed this season had been one of the most successful and hoped the cricket season would be the some.—The Visit- ors were proposed by Mr Jenkyn Jones who said he was very pleased to see the visitors taking such interest in tne School.—The fol- lowing contributed to the harmony of the evening:—Messrs R. O. Roberts, W. Francis, Harries Williams, W. H. Humphries, D. J. N. Rees F',Iivin Jones.-The singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' brought a very pleasant evening to a close.—Mr Thomas Jones, Red Lion, Pontrhydfeneligaid. catered and gave perfect satisfaction.
PONTHHYDFENDJGAID
PONTHHYDFENDJGAID Public Meeting.—A public meeting was held at the Bont Long Room on Thursday, January 25th, for the purpose of nominating members to contest a seat on the County Council for the parishes of Ystrad Meurig, C'aron, and Gwnnws. The meteing was very poorly at- tended. The chair was taken at 8-30 by the Rev. John Bowen. A vote of thanks was ac- corded to Mr Edward Evans, Aberystwyth, for his services as the member for the last six years. Mr Jones, Dolfawr, proposed, and Mr Parry, Monachdy, secondeei Mr Plans' name as a candidate as he had served them so well. This was the only name brought forward and it is believed Mr Edward Evans will not be opposed this time again.

CORRESPONDENT." ): es, I will keep your name out—and your communication. Why should you expect me to have so very much more courage than you possess? "T.X.P-"—It is the old expectation. You want both the advantages of virtue and the profits of vice. You cannot have both. You must choose one or the other. BONT."—There is nothing new in the strife. If you read history you will find that the same hate and the same ignorance and the same outrage and the same fear ex- isted then as now. ONE OF THEM."—Are you sure that you are not ashamed ? If not, why so much explana- tion ? I HAVE SINNED. Passion was strong Luring to wrong; Woe came to me And infamy. Betrayed, Dismayed, My way was rough and dark; My heart was cold and stark: I was afraid. Their scornful glance Pierced like a lance Deep sense of shame Scorched like a flame. Some sneered, Some leered, All looked another way Not one had ought to say Tnat helped or cheered: Ah, I had sinned. THE írELSH LANGUAGE. The Welsh Language Society at the annual meeting at Pontypridd, on Friday, passed a resolution urging education authorities to make the teaching of Welsh in schools com- pulsory. If this is done, then will begin the rapid death of the Welsh language. The lovers of Welsh do not believe this. At present, the acquisition of the Welsh language is not a task but a pleasure. Make it a task that every child in the Principality will learn to hate and shirk, and there will be an end of Welsh as it exists to-day. The main causes of the decay of the Welsh language lie far beyond the power of the Welsh Language Society, or of the school teacher, or of anybody else to reach. That decay really means cessation of growth- changed national conditions. Just as in Lancashire, Yorkshire, Somerset- shire, and other districts the old dialects are dying, so in the Principality Welsh is dying- slowly it may be, but it is dying and nothing can save it. Over the border into Wales there are pour- ing yearly ever-increasing numbers of English- speaking people, and over the border into England there are pouring every year larger numbers of the young who rightly want to make their way in the world. The tasks which children have to learn in day schools are far too heavy already, and the tendency is not to increase but to lessen them. Welsh will linger for many a year yet, but I believe that its death will be accelerated rather than retarded by the estab- lishment of societies for its compulsory main- tenance. New games, new toys, new articles of clothing, new amusements, new discoveries in science, will not find their equivalents in Welsh. Growth is stopped and when the growth of a language stops the language decays. I am sorry that Welsh is dying, just as I am sorry that the old provincial dialects are dying, but there is no help for it. I do not think Wales will lose anything nation- ally, any more than Scotland, or Cornwall, or the Isle of Man, or Ireland have lost any- thing, but I know how completely the notion of Welsh patriotism is wrapped up in the old1 language which has served its day, and I am sorry for the true-hearted patriots! The forces that decide whether a language shall live or die are not local forces and are not under the control of individuals. All sorts of nationalities have gone to the peopling of the United States, but English is the lan- guage. This is certain. The tendency is to get rid of languages and dialects so that the whole people may be able to understand each other, but nobody can say which lan- guage, shall prevail. In India, English is spreading becausa there are so many languages in that land that the people cannot communi- cate easily Wlul each other. I am especially sorry for the Welsh Non- conformist minister who secretly knows in his inmost mind that the old language -s losing its hold of the people. His position is pathetically sad. There is nothing that he can do for himself and nothing that can be done for him by others. He lives between two epochs. That is his fate. The past leaves him. The future lingers, and death threatens! Every year lie lives he knows that there is less response to his impassioned appeal—that there is something wanting which he once possessed. I am sorry for him in ways that I cannot explain, but that, perhaps, he can understand. 0, no; I do not deride him. I do not glory over him. I do not rejoice that the day has come when his national language has lost a measure of its force. I am sorry for his sad lot; just as I am sorry for women who have been born into an age when they are neither slaves nor free-when they neither possess themselves nor are possessed by others. ABOUT NOVELS. I read a good many novels, four or five a week, or more. Many of them are worthless, but I often read a quite uninteresting novel through from the first page to the last if it is merely uninteresting and has no tricks. The other day, I started to read a novel and I came across the word "moreover" twice in the first page. When I had got to the tenth page I had come across thirteen more- overs" and then I piu it down and nothing would have induced me to read that book to the end. I admit that I have a dislike to the word" moreover. Another book I began to read was about a girl who had an invalid mother and a sort of noodle of a father. She herself wanted to be a nurse. The incidents, page after page, were so trivial and so ridiculous and the thing was so long in getting any- where that I gave it up before I had read a hundred pages. Then there is the novel that begins with a sort of preface in the first chapter which is continued in the second and third and fourth chapters and so on to the end of the book. The story is doled out in such very small doses that it is not worth while going on and I do not go on. A novel that is merely dull is not half as difficult to read as one that is silly, or one that is a sort of prolonged conundrum, but the novel that makes me mad is the one where none of the difficulties would ever have arisen if anybody had possessed the least glimmer of sense and would not have con- tinued if anybody had lapsed into common sense even for a moment at any stage. Love stories are not at all objectionable to me if the lovers are not ridic1,tlously jeal- ous of each other and do not part in the first chapter to be reconciled in the last. A large proportion of the novels I read are written by women. Women's novels are re- markable for the importance attached to clothes and semi-nakedness and personal ad- ornment and almost universal acceptance of I the notion that a woman just sells herself in the matrimonial market. I get tired of reading about a woman's alabaster shoulders and her swelling bust and her swanlike neck. I do not think I am partial to alabaster shoulders. A woman in a novel may commit legal prostitution to save an invalid father from the workhouse, or to enable a worthless brother to be sent to college, or because she herself has no particular views of life, but she must not sell herself for a meal. In a large percentage of novels the chief female character just sells herself in the marriage market in the most brutal and incestuous manner possible for a yearly income and dia- monds. I do not want to read sorrowful novels, or novels in which rascality prevails. Forty years ago, I never used to read about Quilp or Mrs. Gamp in the days when I read Dickens. The average number of readable novels 's about one in fifteen. Sometimes I read twenty pages, sometimes fifty, and sometimes a hun- dred, and then I have done with them. This morning I began to read a novel and I went through it in about an hour-ancl-a-half-three hundred pages. Yesterday, I read two hun- dred pages of another novel and then I skimmed the remaining hundred and fifty pages in about an hour. The whole thing was too tedious and the interest oozed out without the writer being aware of the fact. I was fully aware of it. The laughable feature to me in novels is the way everything fits in, or does not fit in, according to the plan of the author. In real life this is not the case. Something happens in real life and nothing follows. Somebody is met and plays a little part and then drops out. In the average novel you know when the right person is gomg to turn up again, and you can tell almost to a page when the events are going to ripen and how and with what final results. Life is not like that. The other day, I read a novel and it was all about a journey—one journey-which might have been disposed of in a page. Why do I read them? The question is reasonable. I read them mainly for distrac- tion and partly to see what the writers think of the life they depict. I do not want to be always thinking about Town Councils and Boards of Guardians and insanitary conditions and so I read novels which make me laugh and otherwise amuse me. There are many people who think that it is wicked to read novels. Others think it is waste of time. I do not think it is either. Xovel-reading is my way of going into com- pany, and it has this advantage for when the company in novels is more than usual fatu- ous I just shut the book and there is an end of them! Besides, in reading novels I am not forced to talk, but in company I am. 1. THE WELSH TE It SOIL Fresh air! LIFE. Daybreak: then toil and moving crowds Noontide: mad rush and noise and glare; Sunset: glamour the world enshrouds; Midnight: the stars and planets flare. This is the whole of human life Midnight and rest; noonday and strife. THAT ACCOUNTS FOR IT. You see, Mr Lloyd-George is a Lancashire man—Manchester. I also am a Lancashire man—Lancaster. That accounts for it. We have both adopted Wales and, of course, Wales is proud! SOME TEETH. They were not mine, at any rate. All mine are original—yet. How very sick he must have been—and something else! The Coast. J.G.
ABEKYbTWYTH
ABEKYbTWYTH Down Pipes and Troughings.—It is months since the last attempt was made to get down pipes and troughings put to the houses where the poor live. Go and look at houses in Pop- row. No Birthday for Four Years.—On Monday a son was born to Mr and Mrs. William Jones, iBryn-place, who will have no birthday for four years. This being leap year February had twenty-nine days and will not have twenty- nine day; again until leap year comes again. Teachers' Guild.—At half-past seven on Sat- urday evening. Miss E. P. Hughes, formerly principal of Cambridge Training College will give a lecture at the College on Japan which will be followed by a conversazione at which specimens of Japanese art will be exhibited. A Worthy Object.—A successful effort is being made by ail the people of Aberystwyth and district, without repect to sect or party, to raise a fund for Mrs Williams, the widow of the Rev. D. R. Williams, Calvinist-ic Metho- dist minister, who recently died at Aberyst- wyth. Drunkenness.—At the Police Station before Isaac Hopkins and John Watkins, Esqrs., on Saturday morning, John Micah, Machynlleth, labourer was charged at the instance of P.C. H 0. Jones with having been drunk and disor- derly the previous night.—David Jones Parry, labourer, Ebw Yale, was similarly charged by P.C. T. Jones.—Both were fined 10s. and costs, or in default fourteen days imprison- ment At the inquest held at Cardiff on Monday, Stephen Owen Owens, who is a native of Aber- ystwyth, and a student at the College, ten- dered to the bereaved parents his deep regret for having been the unintentional cause of Dowler's death. Dowler collided with Owens, whose knee, which he had raised to stop the bail, struck deceased in the stomach, rupturing an intestine. Deceased told his mother just before death occurred that it was quite an accident. A Long Time on the Road.—Letters sent to Bilboa seem to be a long time on the road, t but they eventually find their way back to the sender. The other day a letter was returned to Mrs. Davies, -oall several years after it was sent and this week a letter has been returned from Bilbon after having been i a quarter of a century looking for the person to whom it was addressed. It was addressed to Mr. James Griffiths, second engineer on the s.s. Western," at Bilbao, in 1878, and was delivered to him on Monday last at Aber- ystwyth. Another letter sent to Bilbao in April, 1889, to John Ja mes, s.s. "Benjamin Whitworth," was returned on Friday last, February 26th, to E. and Mary James, Pros- pect-street. Inter-Collegiate Matches.—The death of a Cardiff student named Edgar Dowler, marred the pleasantness of the annual inter-collegiate matches last week. He succumbed on Satur- day at the Cardiff Infirmary from injuries he received while playing in a soccer match be- tween the Aberystwyth and Cardiff teams on the latter's ground on Thursday. An inquest was deemed necessary respecting his death, which had been caused quite accidentally. There was no suspicion of foul play through- out the game and no unnecessary ruffianism occurred. Dowler was twenty-one years of age and was well-known among South Wales soccer players. A native of Rogerstone, he was to have stood for his B.A. degree next June at Cardiff University and was a scholar of promise. All the Aberystwyth teams, hockey, rugger, and soccer, did well in the matches. Commencing on Thursday morning at Bangor, the Aberystwyth ladies hockey team won by four goals to one against the Bangor ladies. n On Thursday afternoon the soccer team won by two goals to one at Cardiff. The hockey match between Aberystwyth and Cardiff men's hockey teams on Friday morning at Aberyst- wyth ended in a draw. a goal each having been scored. On Friday afternoon, the rugby teams from Aberystwyth and Cardiff met at Aberystwyth and v the v Cardiffians secured a try to nil. The men's hockey teams from Ban- gor and Aberystwyth met on Saturday morn- ing at Aberystwyth, the homesters winning by a goal to nil. In the afternoon an interest- ing contest took place between the Bangor and Aberystwyth soccer teams at Aberystwyth and the homesters scored three goals to nothing. At Cardiff on Saturday morning, the Aberyst- wyth ladies hockey team won by six goals to one. Aberystwyth were victorious in all the matches excent two. one being drawn and the other lost. On their arrival the Bangor and Cardiff visitors were given typical receptions and on Friday night. a combined smoking con- cert was held. St. David's Day was celebrated with the annual soiree. I Illness.—The Rev. T. Levi is recovering from his illness. Blank Sheet.—There were no cases on for hearing at the weekly Petty Sessions on Wed- nesday. Richards and Co.—The half yearly sale at Messrs. Richards and Co., Market-street, for the month is now on. Acknowledgment.—Mr and Mrs Panchen desire to thank all who have so kindly tend- ered their sympathy in their recent sorrow Conference.—The conference of delegates from the country districts on the matter of Aberystwyth markets and fairs will be held next Monday at the Lion Hotel. Personal.—Principal Roberts returned on Saturday evening from Switzerland where he had been staying owing to the state of his health since December. Ugliness.—For shier unnecessary ugliness go and look at the wall now in course of erec- tion under the Castle Grounds. There is no more notion of beauty than if beauty had never existed. Outfitting.—Messrs. Owen and Sons, Paris House, announce their sale of new spring goods at great reductions during March in remainders of winter stock. ( Silver King.—Messrs. T. Powell and Co., Market-street, with their usual enterprise and foresight, having bought largely before the recent advance in flour, are able to quote low recei-i prices for quantities of Silver King and other brands. At the quarterly meetings of the Welsh Congregationalists of Pembrokeshire on Mon- -ilists day the thanks of the meeting were accorded 0 Professor D. Morgan Lewis, M.A., Aberyst- wyth, for the admirable biography of his father. The Yeomanry.—This year the Pembroke- shire and Glamorganshire Yeomanry will, it is understood, camp. together at Llandovery instead of at Tenby as in previous years. The drills for the Aberystwyth section will com- mence next Monday night at the Volunteer Drill Hall. Academic Distinction.—In the examiners' award of the Norrisian Prize of the Univer- sity of Cambridge for 1903, a dissertation sub- mitted bv Mr. W. Jenkyn Jones, M.A., lec- turer in philosophy at the University College p of Wales, is bracketteel second and is adjudged to be "deserving of high commendation." Building Sites-On Tuesday Mr. R. H. Mor- gan (Messrs Morgan and Roberts, auctioneers) offered for sale at the Town Hall, twenty-dne building sites in Greenfield-street belonging to the Town Council. The sites were pur- chased by Mr David Davies and Messrs. Owen Brothers at -01 earh. Tabernacle Chapel.—At a meeting of the members on Wednesday evening it was de- cided to obtain a new organ for the chapel im- stead of the harmonium, which at present is in use. It is also intended to have the edifice fitted with heating apparatus and other renova- tions will be carried out during the year. National Agricultural Society.—The Welsh National Agricultural Society, of which the Earl of Powis is president, and Lord Henry Vane Tempest, Sir Pryse Pryse. and others, are vice-presidents, will hold the first annual show at Aberystwyth on August 3rd. Parti- culars can be obtained from Mr. Lewis Pryse, Pantgwyn. r Wedding.—At the Congregational Church', Port iitac-il()c, the marriage was solemnized on Wednesday between Mr Lleiv Davies, the Portmadoc representative of the "Cambrian News." and Maggie, second daughter of Mr and Mrs McLean, Bank-place. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. W. J. Nicholson, the. pastor, assisted by the Rev. W. 0. Williams, Cefnmawr. the bridegroom's brother-in-law. Mr and Mrs Davies left in the evening for London. The wedding pres- ents numbered over 250. The Welsh Colleges.—Besides the inter- collegiate matches last week, St. David's Day celebration brought the Welsh Colleges into closer relationship. The memory of the pa- tron saint was honoured at all the Colleges as in former years, the annual soirees at each being attended by delegates from the other col- leges who made appropriate speeches. At Bangor Mr. R. G. Richards, of Aberystwyth, referred with approval to the changes recently made there, including the dinner scheme, the inter-collegiate debate, and the entire control of the magazine by the students. Mr. G. L. Williams, the Cardiff representative, expressed a desire for the promotion of a greater fra- ternal feeling between Bangor and Cardiff. That feeling existed between Aberystwyth and Cardiff. Distance might be the cause of the present aloofness of Bangor and Cardiff, but when inter-collegiate matches between Bangor and Cardiff were arranged these might be overcome—an end which the inter-collegiate debates would do much to aid. College Council.—The Council of the Uni- versity College of Wales, Aberystwyth, met on Friday afternoon in London. The members present were Dr. Rd. Roberts. Cambridge (in the chair); Principal Roberts, Miss Armstrong, Professor Anwyl, Mr. Lewis Angell, Mr. David Davies (Llandinam), Dr. Gwenogfryn Evans, Mr. E. Vincent Evans, Mr. John Francis, Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, M.P., Dr. Henry Owen, F.S.A., Mr. D. C. Roberts, Aberystwyth; Mr T. J. Thomas. Mr. Willis Bund. and the Rev. T. Mortimer Green (Registrar.) The question of the sites available for the proposed exten- sion of the college buildings was discussed on the consideration of the report of the Sites Committee, who recommended the Council to acquire the Buarth site (of eleven acres), near to the railwav station, for the erection of the 4 Edward Davies memorial laboratories. The recommendation was adopted, and a commit- tee was appointed to report on the new site and the Grogythan site (which is already avail- able) in relation to the future possible devel- opments of the College.

--__---NOTES FROM ABERAYRON
NOTES FROM ABERAYRON Mr. Henry Jones, headmaster of the Na- tional School, is the recipient of a compliment from Mr. Taylor, inspector of drawing, of which he may well be proud. Mr. Taylor writes: Very many thanks for your excellent specimen of brush work done by your boys. They are better than ever, quite the best work of the kind I have met with in WTales." Sergeant Davies has sent in his resignation. The list of the King's Scholars is to hand. The results as they affect this immediate dis- trict are as follows :—Second division, Miss E. A. Davies, Bodrhyddan House, and Miss Jones, Penyrallt; were from the National School; Miss Gretta Rees from the British School; Miss Jones, Cross Villa; and Miss Thomas, Penybanc; from Penlone Board School. Third division, Miss Elizabeth Davies, Gwalia House, from the British School. Aberayron people are particularly successful in appeal cases. In the Harbour dues case, Captain J. Williams successfully appealed against the decision of Justice Walton. Last week Mr. R. J. Lloyd, of Swansea, who is proud to own himself an Aberayron boy, ap- pealed against a judgment which mulcted him in at least a sum of £ 10,000. The Master of the Rolls and two other judges agreed to allow the appeal. A summary of the case may be seen in another column. Captain David Evans, of the Aeron Belle," one of the aborigines of the district, died on Tuesday, at the ripe age of eighty-six years. Captain J. W. Evans, who is in command of a steamer trading between China and India after four years absence had come home on furlough, just in time to see his father. Cap- tain J. Lloyd Evans, his other surviving son, was also by another happy coincidence at home. He leaves a widow too and two daughters, viz., Mrs. Morgan. Smack Jane." and Miss Evans, together with numerous grandchildren, who mourn his loss. He was a particularly well- travelled and well-informed man. He found I his chief solace in reading. THE ELECTION. In the Aberayron Contest, Mr. D. Pennant James has withdrawn, leaving the issue to be fought between Mr. E. Lima Jones, the old member, and Captain Daniel Jones, his com- batant. There are no addresses, and no pub- lic meetings, and no rival policies. The con- test has almost become a personal wrestle for the seat. Both sides are confident. Yet to a student of the register, and of men as they exist, in communities, it would appear to-day as if one of the candidates must win with a large majority, say sixty. Captain Jones' pro- poser and seconders are Dr. Williams and T. Pugh; Mr. E. Lima Jones' proposer and seconder are Mr. W. M. Jones and Mr. D. P. James. In the Aeron Division. Mr. Thomas Jenkins, the old member, kept a brave heart almost to the day of nomination-and retired without sending in his nomination paper. Conse- quently Mr John M. Howell, the other can- didate, had a walk over. Mr Thomas Jenkins is a respectable Churchman and Conservative, who tried to be a Progressive on the edu- cation question. His effort to capture the Nonconformist vote did not succeed, his Non- conformist (in high places) patrons notwith- standing. He would have lost his natural allies in the bargain. Mr. Jenkins carefully diagnosed the district on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in last week, and that contact with the electors, dogged and determined though he be. convinced him that he would fail at the poll. The district called Aeron is a very cos- mopolitan one. As indicating its constitu- ents, It may be interesting to the reader to know that it holds within its boundaries four Churches, two Calvinistic Methodist Chapels, one Independent Chapel, the famous Neuadd- lwyd, and one Unitarian Chapel. Inarea, on the sea line it extends from Gilfachyrhalen, famous for Its caves and rocky coast, to Morfa Mawr, one of the largest farms in Cardigan- shire (take out of this the town of Aberayron.) Inland (its furthest point is Cwrt-y-Cadno, in the parish of Cilie, the residence of Mrs David Jones, nearly half way to Lampeter, or about six miles from Aberayron, on the right hand side of the river. On the left hand of the river, the furthest point inland, is Tyglyn, situated about 4 miles from Aberayron. It cannot help being a source of satisfaction to Mr. Howell, that there was an extraordin- ary rally of support to his side on the part of the bulk of the people of the four parishes. It is supposed that Cilie was disaffected, but it is believed by the people who are compe- tent to pass judgment that Mr. Jenkins would not poll a majority even there. That may be a matter upon which opinions differ, but upon the very obvious set. in of opinion in the dis- trict as a whole in favour of Mr. Howell's can- didature there does not seem to be two opinions. It was so marked that his (Mr. Howell's) friends who would like to return Mr. Jenkins, abandoned the task of stemming the current, after one or two attempts. The people were just and appreciative and I tender to them my most sincere thanks and my assurance that I desire to serve them more faithfully than ever. Mr. Howell's nomination papers were filled as follows:—(1), Proposer, David Jenkins "Alicia"; seconder, Morgan Davies. Neuadd. Assentors, David Jones, Ddol Evan Wil- liam Evans, Bryndewi; John Jones Tower Rowland Pugh, Factory; Thomas Evans "Laura"; E. T. Davies, Felindre; John Wil- liams, Glenview; Evan Davies, Prospect House.—(2) Proposer, James Evans, Foundry seconder. Evan Jones, Ffoesteicin. Assentors, Daniel Lewis. Penybanc; John Evans. Cloth Hall; Samuel Jones. Penlone Board School; Edward George, Tynyporth; Evan Owens, Maesnewydd Isaac Jenkins, Ffynonddewi; John Williams, Crossway; Thomas Evans, Ffosffin Cottage.-(3), Proposer, Anne Price, Morfa Mawr; seconder, Lewis Jones, Ffvn- nonelafolog. Assentors, Evan Evans, Coed Watkin Jones, Ynys Hir; and others. Mr. Morgan Evans was not opposed, he has no peer in Llanarth for length or worth of service. Mr. E. James Price, of Morfa Mawr will be a welcome colleague. Dr. Lewis was returned unopposed. Some extraordinary ef- forts were made at Cilcennin to find an oppo- nent, but thev came to nothing. Dr Lewis is making a strong and useful member. Dr. Evans is waging an interesting battle at Nant- cwnlle. There is a fierce fight at Llanfihansrel Ystrad.

THE ,BAND QUESTION.
THE ,BAND QUESTION. Sm, letter was sent by me to the Coun- cil this week calling attention to what I con- sidered a gross injustice, and asking the Mayor to grant the members an opportunity to cor- rect any wrong impressions prevailing. No notice was taken of it except by Councillor T. H. Edwards, who readily expressed his willing- ness to correct any remarks made by him at their previous meeting, but a perusal of the statements you kindly allowed me to make in last week's paper, will show that he was not quite to the point. He also justifies his vote- on the score of saving £ 76 (not JOS4). but ig- nores the difference of P,171 between our price for a band of eighteen evenings only. viz.. -2228, all of which would be spent upon local working men. and the £ 399 which he voted for, more than two thirds of which would be spent upon strangers. A difference that I feel quite sure a small band of eight in the morn- ing would not justify. However, this is entirely a matter of opin- ion. and although I am quite prepared to sup- port my views, I wish it to be clearly under- stood that this is not the point at issue. What I protest against is the withholding of a vital portion of our tender from the Council and the ratepayers, a procedure that cannot he justified, whether in reference to brass bands or tin sheds. Apd it is not to the credit of any councillors that it. was not strongly con- demned. especially after attention had been promptly called to the matter.—Yours truly, etc., JACK EDWARDS.
LAMPETER.
LAMPETER. Concert.—The St. David's College Musical Society held its annual concert on Tuesday last (St. David's Day), in the College School Hall.

Although the weather was bit- terly cold, there was a large attendance of spectators. The Town Band played selections of music at intervals. The sports were up to their usual standard, but the coldness of the weather chilled the enthusiasm of the lookers on. The military drill given by the students, commanded by Sergeant Major Baldwin, was very good and showed the result of careful and efficient training. Immediately after the sports were over, the prizes were distributed in the College School Hall by Mrs E. Laurimer Thomas.
