FOR Guns, Rifles, Cartridges, Lamps, Lamp Glasses, Glopes and Mantles, try Wm. Thomas, Ironmonger, Welshpool. [ADVT. THE DAIRY.—Our "Princess" Separator has been awarded over 100 medals. The most reliable; easiest to work; British made.-Cali and inspect at HUMPHREY JONES & SON, Hall- street. [Ad vt. ANSWER TO A CORRESPONDENT.-Yes. Many townspeople believe that Councillor Hiles would make a most popular and progressive Mayor, if he consented to accept the office. A FEATHERED DUETT.-Christ Church was the scene of an unusual incident at yesterday morn- ing's service. When the organist began to play a piece by Schumann, a robin and a sparrow which had found their way into Church, began an accompaniment. Later the feathered songsters added to the sweetness of the choral singing. HAMLET was discussed after the Sunday morn- ing service by the English Presbyterian Christian Endeavourers. Mr Joseph Davies took the in- itiative, with Mr J. E. Roberts presiding, and the other speakers were Mrs Howell Williams, Ex- Sergt. Thomas 'Morgans, Messrs A. Williams. W. Roberts, B.Sc, Bert Reece, Ithel Davies, William Evans (Buttington Hall), and Rees James. THE PEW-RENTS PROBLEM.—Pew-rents are not conducive to the progress of the Church. Thus the majority of members of the Wesley Guild decided last Wednesday night, when Mr G. H. BradJey opposed, and Mr E. C. Bishop supported the present system. The Chairman (the Rev C. A. Sheppard and Mrs Sheppard, Messrs H. Gledhill, Gomer Roberts, and Maldwyn Evans also expressed their views on the subject. INTERESTING TO FARMERS.—When the North Wales Agricultural Organization and Credit Banks Committee asked the Montgomery County Council last Tuesday to appoint a representative on a joint committee, Mr Hugh Lewis said they had better appoint their chairman of the Agricul- tural Committee-Mr Addie. Mi Addie remarked that he could not pos3ibly attend a meeting of the committee on the Thursday, but Mr Edward Jones seconded the motion, which was adopted, WHAT ARBITRATION MEANS.—Alderman G. D. Harrison suggested at the last Town Council meeting that land can be got for sanitary pur- poses by means of arbitration. Last Friday week Shrewsbury had an object-lesson in arbitration after the Corporation had compulsory acquired 130 yards of land for their river improvement scheme. The umpire awarded i5129 6s, and this being considerably in excess of the amount offered by the Corporation the award carried costs. So that arbitration" meant Severn-side land at .£1 a yard. SHOULD DIVORCE BE MADE EASIER?—By a large majority the Literary and Debating Society, which met in Now-street School-room last Friday night decided No." Mr E. C. Bishop was the leading speaker in favour of further facilities for cutting the nuptial knot, and he bad supporters in Messrs Barrow Evans, J. M. Pearson and W. A Jones Mr Fred Bluck opened for the negative, and was seconded by Messrs G. H. Fenter, H. Fowles, D. J. Jones, H. Gledhill, and the Rev C. A. Sheppard. The Rev. J. Stroud Williams presided. How (writes a correspondent) are the Corpora- tion explaining away the smell which is making its presence felt along the public footpath at the side of the County School (when the wind is in a certain quarter) ? Can it be the bad state of the drains at Traethlawn ? Or is it not more possibly the effluvia which comes from the adjacent "refuse heap," with nothing between to stop the smell coming in at the back windows of the school? What do the Governors say? Do they put it down to the drains at Traethlawn or not? Possibly the Chairman of the Governors will be able to explain matters satisfactorily, and so set the parents-of-the-children's minds at rest on the subject. ANSWER TO A CORRESPONDENT.—Yes, the Corporation did break their faith with the Vicar. The provisional contract for the purchase of Honfaea was officially sealed by the Mayor and the Town Clerk on December 17th, 1908. Clause 10 of that document stated: Thel purchasers will forthwith apply for and use their best en- deavours to obtain without delay an order of the Local Government Board sanctioning the raising of the purchase money." Apart from the merits of the Henfaes, the parishioners have, this week, the opportunity of expressing in the polling booth (as they did at the Town's meetings), their personal appreciation of the patient consideration shown by the Vicar of Welshpool, and their condemnation of the dishonourable manner in which the council treated him. BAD BusiNicss. -11 Shops and Families supplied Wholesale and Retail. New Laid Eggs" is the notice on the notepaper of a Manchester dairyman, who has been buying eggs from the Welshpool market. The following letter to his local agent shows how short-Righted country folk damage their own interests by selling suspicious eggs :—" The box before this has been awful; I cannot call it anything else," wrote the Lancashire man. At the leaet, quarter of the box has been bad. I have never had such a box. Several timfS we have sold two, and they have fetched both back bad. We had three in the house for tea one night, and two out of the three were bad. Of course, it has spoilt my trade. It would hava paid me better to have thrown all the box away. I will let you know when I want any more." "BEWARE OF AMATEUR LAWYERS."—Which will the electors of the Guilsfield Ward believe on a point of law-their retiring councillor, Mr W. A. Rogers, or the Local Government Board ? In his election address Mr Rogers says that any alteration of the present method of sewage disposal will do away with our rights, which is the most valuable property we have got, pro- tected as it is by the Sewers Amendment Act, 1883, and which I can never agree to, because the Act gives us a perfect right to this disposal." A Welshpool ratepayer submitted this point to the Local Government Board, and received the following reply, which fully justifies the warning given in Mr A. J. Giles' election address, Beware of amateurs advising you upon law, and remember the Welshpool Corporation law suit, 19"4." Local Government Board, Whitehall, S.W.. 21st Ootober, 1910. Sir,-I am directed by the Looal Government Board to advert to your letter of the 17th inst. with reference to the question of the disposal of the sewage of Welshpool, and to state that the Board are not aware that the Town Council have any legal right, by virtue of long usage or otherwise, to discharge untreated sewage into the River Severn. On the contrary it appears to the Board that the discharge of untreated sewage into a stream is an infraction of the Rivers Pollution Prevention Acts, 1876 and 1893.-1 am, Sir. your obedient servant, NOEL KERR, Assistant Secretary.

CAERSWS. THE first and second prizes which were offered in the root competition have been awarded by the judges (Mr Wilson. Penyborfa, and Mr Malcolm fcinsey, Maesmawr,) to Messrs Francis, Tymawr, and Breez9, Henfryn, respectively. Mr D. T. Francis, Tynyrwtra, was first in Class 2. I KEEL sure that when my Kerry rivals read the following a foot messenger will be despatched at once with that long lost belt, and conveyed thitber with all speed to the Ancient City. On Monday last Mr T. Trow, Carnedd Villa (the residence of the late Ceiriog Hughes), called to see me, carrying a large parcel under his arm, which he at once unfolded, and to my great astonishment handed over to me two large carrots as straight as Mr Sutton, the barber's, pole. After the tops were cut off each carrot measured 24 inches in length and ten inches in circumference. They were grown in Mr Trow's garden. Knowing how very honourable are my friends over the Vastry at all times, I shall expect to see the long lost belt some day very shortly. -Correspondent.

Tymawr, a good sized farm with an excellent sheep walk, was the first to be put up, and from Xl,000 bidding rose to Xl,700, when it became the property of the tenant, Mr Thomas Jones.

"THE CHOICE Of A CAREER. -This is the attractive subiect of a lecture which Mr Henry C. Devine. director of the Future Career Association, is to give at the County School next Thursday evening. It will, we understated, deal chiefly with commercial and agricultural pursuits, and we can confidently bespeak a most instructive nAHvArance. It is a subject tbat" appeals to all classes in the community, and the Head Master is to be complimented upon organising what, perhaps, may prove the first of an excellent series of lectures. Such lectures, of course, cannot be secured without money, but an organised effort" mig-bt be successfully made in the town and neighbourhood.

Children Who Missed the Treat.
Children Who Missed the Treat. Sir,—I notice in your paper of this week an account of all the Montgomeryshire school child- ren receiving a treat in the form of a tea, etc., from the over bountiful hands of Mrs Edward Davies and the Misses Davies, Plasdinam, and I, as parent, am very pleased to know that so much interest is taken in our children by these very generous ladies, but th6 school children of Carregoffa (Llanymynech), were not so treated. Why, I am not able to say, without it is that they have to attend in a Shropshire school, for which they are not to blame, of course; neither are their parents, because they have done all in theit power long ago to have a school erected in Carreg- hoffa, for which we are patiently waiting. Is it not an oversight on the part of those responsible for the arrangement of this treat that the Car- regoffa children should be left out ? I think it is. Trusting you will insert these few lines in your next issue that they may meet the eye of some responsible person with a view to remedying this, or at least preventing a further oversight at some distant date.—I am, sir, I A CARREGOFFA PARENT. The Llanidloes Municipal Election. Sir.-I have been struck with a brilliant idea and am losing no time in making it known to my fellow townsmen—craving for that disinterested purpose a little space in your valuable columns. Most people will agree that municipal elections ae bothersome things—to the candidates, to the electors, and to the police. Moreover, they are the cause of much extra work devolving upon that estimable but much abused section of the community-the publicans. The suggestion I am about to make has for its object the doing away with the necessity ot these elections altogether, and it has the merit of being extremely simple. For the sake of clearness I will put it briefly in the form of three or four propositions: (i) That the four senior deacons of the Welsh Calvinistic Church be appointed aldermen for life. (2) That the remaiaing deacons be appointed permanent councillors, and as vacancies occurred be promoted aldermen in order of seniority. (3) That this nucleus of a permanent Town Council have the power to co-opt from among members of their own Church or from the deacons, committee, or members of the English C.M. Church additional councillors to make up the requisite rumber. (4) That the Pastor of the Welsh C.M. Church be-ex-officio -permanent mayor. A consideration of the following facts and figures will convince all who are not bigots or cranks of the reasonableness of my suggestion: (1) Three out of the four aldermen we now have are Calvinistics Methodists. (2) Two, if not three, of the sitting councillors are of the same persuaiiion. (3) Three out of the four retiring councillors are Methodists, and all seek re-election. (4) Three out of the five new aspirants for municipal honours belong, I am proud to state, to our denomination. In addition to the merit of simplicity, I claim these; wo advantages for my scheme: (1) We would get rid of the annual election nuisance, and (2) We would still retain the priceless privilege of being governed by the Calvins.—Yours faith- fully. AUNTY MONA POLLY. Councillor C. J. Newell and Smoking. Sir,—Human kind is destined to suffer many plagues. One of the most insufferable of these is the plague of cranks—those people with a distorted or ill-balanced capacity to view things in a reasonable light. The crank is a person intolerable for his hatetul bigotry and narrowness. Into his head he has got a notion which he feeds as only a crank's peculiar constitution can. All evi- dence that bears against it he religiously refuses to study. All such evidence he regards as wrong. His prejudice obscures his vision and circumscribes his purview. Now, Mr Editor, I feel thus to write of a gentleman who gives of his time to the educational affairs of the cokinty, but when men court public criticism they must not object to getting it. Mr Newell, if it were left to his absolute decree, would pluck the pipe from the mouth of every schoolmaster. Nay, more, he would make the pipe a fatal disqualification for scholastic preferment. Shades of Dominie Sampson Prodigious Upon what does Mr Newell found this intolerance of the smoker ? Has he ever enjoyed a pipe him- self ? Has he ever read the opinions of some of our literary princes regarding its inspiring influences ? Of course he knows nothing about it. He does not smoke him- self, and therefore loojks upon it as a bad habit which ought to be put down. Mr Newell mdty well save himself the trouble of waging war upon tobacco. Men will never give it up, simply because they enjoy it. My father, as good a Christian as Mr Newell—lived to an old age notwithstanding he was an inveterate smoker, and I chal- lenge this gentleman to prove by statistics that smoking in moderation has a deleterioWi1 effect upon the human system. According to old-time physicians there was scarcely an .rgan that tebacco did not soothe, scarcely a disease that it did not cure. It has been authoritatively asserted a hundred times that smokers are immune to epidemics. According to VaF-qali at the time of the great epidemic of influenza x-i 1883 there was not a single case among the workers in the tobacco factories at Genoa. Researches have been made to find out if tobacco preserves an antiseptic property. The experiments of Miller and Tag.sinari show that it prevents the development of disease. Let Mr Newell inquire intto reports of our military authorities, and lie will find that. smokers in the army are much less susceptible to diseases abroad than the sol- dier who does not use tobacco. I have smoked all my life, and can testify iiot only to the pleasure of tobacor, but to its usefulness as III protectin against bad smelling places. Mr Newell has, I suppose- never smoked, is ignorant of its pleasures and benefits, and in that ignorance he would like to deprive all others in order to gratify his own puritaiiic narrowness.—Yours truly, G. B. D.
CHIRBURY.
CHIRBURY. THE DEATH of Mr Richard Davies of Litt'e Weston Farm, near Chirbury, took place on Monday, in his 65th year. The deceased gentle- man was the fourth son of the late Mr Davies, Tinberth,, near Montgomery. Mr Richard Davies first settled at Marton, where he lived for about three yearR. He married Miss Kilvert of Aston Hall, Churcbstoke, and there were born of the marriage one daughter, who died in infancy, and six sons survive of the issue. Mr Davies wai throughout his long life much esteemed by all who were aquainted with him, his quiet, unas- suming demeanour giving him a warm place in the affection of his friends and neighbours. The important office of elder be filled with much faithfulness for many years in the Presbyterian Church at Priestwestor, and he was chiefly instrumental in erecting the present chapel in that locality. Mr Davies's family have been con- nected with the cause at Priestweston and Montgomery for a few generations. The funeral took place on Thursday, at Hiddleton, the Rev Jerrom officiated, assisted by the Rev John Davies of Berriew, (the deceased gentleman's former minister). There was present a large attendance of the general public, in addition to members of his family.
MOCHDRE.
MOCHDRE. WFDDING.—On Wednesday week Mr Richard Thomas, Criggen, Llanbadarn, and Miss Priscilla Charlotte Morgan, Glog, Dolfor, were joined to- gether in holy matrimony at the Pentre Baptist Church, Mochdre. The Pastor (Rev L. Coombs) officiated, assisted by the Rev E. H. Dight. of Maesyrhelem. An unusually large number of people met at the chapel to witness the interesting ceremony. The bride was dressed in white pilk, with hat to match. The bridesmaids were pret- tily attired in old-rose costumes, with bats to match. Mr George Rix, of Ludlow, brother-in- law to the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bride was given away by her father, Mr Jobn Morgan. After the marriage ceremony a large number of guests assembled at the bride's heme, where a substantial breakfast was provided. The usuil toasts were proposed and suitably responded to. A large number of presents were received. which were exhibited in one of the rooms. The bride has been organist at the Peatre Baptist Church over eleven years, and we understand that a presentation is to be made to her of a gold watch and chain and a purse of gold as a taken of esteem and approbation of her services. The presenta- tion will take place on the teturn of the brid tl pair from their honeymoon at Liverpool, wbither they went in the afternoon amid great gusto and shot-firing, and the proteibial old shoe toliowiutf, with the very hearty good wishes of all tii,ir friends.

LLANFAlli-CAEREINION.
LLANFAlli-CAEREINION. GRAND CONCERT.—A great musical treat was given at the Council Schools on Thursday eve- ning. when a most successful concert w&s given in aid of the Wesleyan Trust Funds. All the reserved seats were taken, and the spacious rGom I was crowded. Dr. Humphreys presided. The artistes v; ere: Miss Jennie Ellis, of the Royal Albert Hall and Queen's Hall, London (Soprano), Miss Ethel Morgan, gold medalist (contralto), Mr J, Corris Jones, Dolgelly (Tenor), and Mr Maldwyn Evans, Welshpool (Baritone). The accompanist was Miss James, A.L.C,M., Welsh- pool. The names of the artistes were a sufficient guarantee that the performance would be of a high order, and the appreciative audience was more than satisfied. The chairman was in splen- did form, and did his part with his well-known ability and tact. In his address he referred to the generosity of the Plasdinam family in connec- tion with the movement for establishing sanatoria in Wales in memory of the late good King Edward VII, and in the handsome gift of a public build- ing which they were about to present to Llantair in memory of the late Mrs Davies, Broneirion, and the Rev. Evan Jones, Trewythen. The usual votes of thanks were accorded.
Municipal Election at Llanidloes.
Municipal Election at Llanidloes. A stiff fight is being waged for the six vacant Council seats. There are nine can- didates, four retiring:—Messrs Richard Jer- man, John Jones Meredith, John Morris, and David Owen, and five new aspirants: Dr Walter Ll. Davies, Messrs Edmund Vin- cent Davies, William Vincent George, Thomas Evans, and David Thomas Morgan. With the exception of Dr Davies, whose practice prevented him from doing so, all the candidates have canvassed the town, the two youngest candidates, Messrs E. V. Davies and D. T. Morgan, leading the way. Some of the candidates are very confident of success, others are rather despondent. The four retiring candidates have served for some years, and their worth should have been gauged by now. As to the other five who have placed their services at the dis- posal of the electorate for acceptance or rejection, they all have youth on their side, the eldest, Mr Tom Evans, being still a comparatively young man. Dr Davies came to the town a lew years ago, and took over the late Dr Morris' practice. Since then he has become very popular with the townspeople, taking an ac- tive interest in the social life of the town. He will make a witty and serviceable coun- cillor, and his chances are rosy. Mr Edmund Viacent Davies is the second son of the late Alderman Daniel Davies, J.P. He has loomed large in the world of football and dogl, and is both proprietor and managing director of the Cambrian Temperance Hotel. If his votes are in pro- portion to the strenuousness of his canvass, he ought to top the poll, but he will pro- bably be nearer the south pole on the map. Mr Thomas Evans is a studious young man, who carries some little weight. A good Rad and anxious for social reform. Is a currier by trade, and naturally thinks that there's nothing like leather. He is very fond of singing, and if he gets on the Council, it is to be hoped he will make things hum. This does not always follow, though. Mr William Vincent George. The very name of George in Llanidloes ought to be sufficient to secure this young man's suc- cess. Llanidloes without a George would be like Hamlet minus the Prince of Den- mark. They are the ruling dynasty, and the branches of the old family tree are everywhere interwoven. Mr Vincent George is the son of the late lamented Alderman George he has managed his own business very successfully, and no doubt he can well attend to municipal affairs. Mr D. T. Morgan considers that by na- ture he is a large ratepayer this trait is probably inherited. He was a budding member of the old debating society, and one of the buds was no doubt blossoming when he informs us that youth is no bar to service." We should hope not. As to the four gentlemen who are retir- ing, there is first of all, Councillor J. Jones Meredith, without the Council would have to engage a qualified surveyor, whose salary would be at least £ 120 pec annum. He has given of his best ungrudgingly, and from a busi- ness point of view would sfand largely to gain by rejection at the poll. This is about the last thing that is likely to happen, and if he is not top, he will probably be second. Councillor Dan-id Owen has the doubtful good fortune to be chairman of the Co- operative Society in Llanidloes. This movement is not looked upon with such great favour by the bulk of the tradespeople. Councillor Owen has some rough edges, but he is absolutely sound, fearless, and straightforward. Councillor Jerman has been a councillor for a long time,and is an Idloesian of Id- loesians. He does not make brilliant speeches at the Council meetings, but townspeople generally seem to place a good deal of confidence in him. Councillor Morris does not make any kind of speech in Council meetings. A gentle- man with a genial face and a genial pres- ence, and stands well in the popular opin- ion. His chances at the poll, however, are IDroblematical.
THE KING EDWARD MEMORIAL.
THE KING EDWARD MEMORIAL. HANDSOME LEAD OFF TO THE 41 EXPRESS FUND. The first response to oui appeal for subscrip- tions towards the "King Edward Memorial" comes from Mr John Owens, of Chester, who intimates a contribution of 1GO guineas on behalf of himself and Mrs Owens, and 10 guineas from Miss Hannah Owens. Although an organized collection has not yet been made, handsome donations are flowing into the hands of the Committee, and there seems no reason to doubt that the requisite .2300,000 will be forthcoming. We trust that Express readers will form a worthy list of supporters, now that such a splendid lead has been given them by our esteemed friends, Mr John Owens and family. The smallest subscription will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
AX INSULT TO WELSHPOOL.
AX INSULT TO WELSHPOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE" MONTGOMERY SHIRR EXPRESS AND RADNOR TIMES." Sir.—What right has Councillor Richard J-enkins to rush into print with a wild statement that Welshpool contractors could net carry out a sewage works scheme, but. that all the labour would be done by work- men who live in other towns ? It is not necessary for the Town Council to follow the example of those people who get Ox- ford bricklayers and Shrewsbury painters and paperhangers, and Cheshire caterers to do work in our borough. I asked a Welshpool contractor to-day whether he could erect sewage works in Welshpool with local labour. He assured me he could, and that in fact he has been estimating for doing sewage works in another place in Montgomeryshire. It's bad enough for the tradespeople of Welshpool to suffer by local people doing their shopping in Shrewsbury, Birmingham, and London. But. please, Mr Jenkins, don't pile an in- sult en top of this injury.—Yours, etc.. CROSS PUMP. October 30th, 1910. Sir.—May I protest, through your valua- ble paper, against the insulting remarks made ot the tradespeople of Welshpool, and more particularly of the building trade of our town, by Mr Jenkins, Lord Powis's stud groom, in his letter in Saturday's issue of your contemporary. Of course, we know that it is the fashion" amongst a cer- tain clique to get their work done by alien firms, and doubtless Mr Jenkins was only quoting his superiors when he made this statement. Fellow-voters, beware ef men who habit- ually employ outside firms and outsida shops to supply their needs. Do not. be misled by them, like you were over the Gungrog lawsuit. RATEPAYER. Llanidloes
