Recognising Local Talent. It is pleasing to find that the promising soprano Miss Bessie Evans was honoured with an invitation to take part in the musical programme at the reception held recently at the Queen's Palace, Rhyl. Undoubtedly she possesses a voice of rare quality and delights her audience whenever she sings. A bright future is prodicted for Miss Evans.

Gronant. Test Concert. There is every indication that the Test Concert arranged in connection with the Wesleyans to be held on Wednesday in the C.M. Chapel will be a great success. There are numerous entries for the various competi- tions, and those who intend to be present may confidently expect a good meeting.

-w. FREE CHURCH COUNCIL. Proposed Earlier Closing of Shops. The Prestatyn Free Church Council met for the last time as now constituted on Fri- day last week. Rev. W. Bell presided. One of the subjects that came under dis- cussion was that of the earlier closing of shops. For the purpose of giving the young people an opportunity of attending the various literary and other meetings now being held almost daily in our midst, it was decided, on the proposition of Rev. Ben Williams, to approach the tradespeople of the town in order to induce them to make arrangements for the closing of their estab- lishments at an earlier hour on certain nights of the week. Temperance meetings are to be held alter- nately in the English and Welsh churches on Sunday evenings. The churches are asked to appoint delegates for the ensuing session. The annual meeting of the Council will shortly be held. BRIWSION. "Si cheir y Garon heb y Gwes." WW Y mae pibellau dwfr (main.s) Lluiidain yn mesur 6,000 o filldiroedd.

POULTRY HINTS BY ROBERT THOMAS, PRESTATYN. This mtlnth of all months of the year is the most trying to poultry. It therefore behoves us to take every precaution to ensure the best results. As I may take it that profit is one of the chief objects of poultry keeping, it is very necessary to bestow our best care during this and the ensuing few months while eggs are so dear, and to sow saeds of good and sound health, so as to reap the full benefit. First of all every care should be taken in properly housing the poultry, and provision made so as to avoid overcrowding, as nothing is more detrimental to their well-being than this. The houses should be ventilated in such a maunerthat the air can be changed continually with out draught. This isan impor- tant matter,it being often found that insuffiicient care is taken so that the houses will neither be too hot or too cold. The golden rule as to ventilation is to provide a temperature inside the house so that the poultry on going out will not experience any extreme change. Hot meals should be given in the morning to stimulate the system, as it is more quickly digested than hard grain. The addition of a little poultry spice is also advisable. At this time of the year insect life, which forms part of their natural food, will be getting scarce. As a substitute a little meat in some form will be very beneficial and adds greatly to the egg production. Grain should be scattered in the grass so as to induce activity, which also aids to a full egg basket. See that the drinking water be kept pure, as nothing is so prejudicial to health as impure water.

COMING EVENTS. Nov. 15tli.—Women's Temperance Meeting at the C.M. Church. Nov. 16th.—Lantern Missionary Service at the Coronation Hall. Dec. 10th—Competitive Meeting at the Wesleyan Chapel. Dec. 2oth.—Grand Concert at the Wesleyan Chapel.

Debating Society. The weekly meeting of the Young People's Guild was held in the Vestry-room of the Wesleyan Chapel on Wednesday, under the presidency of Mr Rd. Williams. The subject matter to be dealt with was Whether it was of advantage to the country that there should be two legislatures, the Lords and the Com- mons." Mr J. Evans Hughes was deputed to take up the case against the House of Lords and Mr Robt. Williams to defend it; but in Mr Robert Williams's absence this was taken up by Mr Chas. Thomas, who in a racy speech made a gallant defence of his King, Lords, and Commons, but only suc- ceeded in securing two votes, out of an as- sembly of 85 to 90. The motion of down with the Lords" got an overwhelming majority. If all rural parishes would take their cue from Dyserth the Lords evidently stand a very poor chance of surviving the present Parliament; but probably Dyserth will not be allowed to lead the country in this matter. Others who took part in the debate included Mrs Edwin Roberts, Messrs J. Evans, and J. T. Hughes.

Temperance Meeting. I The Women's Temperance Meeting will be held at the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel to- night (Friday). A hearty invitation is given to all ladies to attend the meeting.

Alleged Nuisances. In response to repeated complaints with respect to alleged nuisances at upper and lower Dyserth, a sub-committee of the St. Asaph Rural District Council, together with the Clerk to the Council, the Inspector of Nuisances, and the Surveyor, visited this neighbourhood on Monday and inspected the places complained of by the Council and private individuals. The hope is expressed that the nuisances so often referred to will now be remedied.

Beware of Thieves. Residents of this village should take warn- ing and keep their coal in safety during the winter months, as early on Monday morning a quantity was stolen from the coal yard. No doubt the thief, whoever he is, is well acquainted with the district.

The Musical Section. Mr John Lloyd, singing master at Bethania (W), has mustered a good num- ber of local vocalists to form a mixed choir, and is busily engaged in teaching the choir new music. It is probable that he will enter the contest at Rhyl Eisteddfod on Boxing Day.

Women's Temperance Union. The Ffynnongroew Branch of the North Wales W.T.U. held their opening meeting of the winter session, on Monday last. Tea was served in the C.M. Schoolroom prepared by Mrs Davies, Llinegar Farm Mrs Hughes, Chapel Row and Mrs Jones, Chapel House. At the tables Misses E. Price, F. Carter, S. Williams, and M. Jones, presided. There was a fairly good attendance, notwithstanding that other meetings were held in the village on the same evening. The ladies are to be congratulated on the earnest manner in which they are grappling with the work, and also on the result of their efforts so far. Quite recently they have been distributing tracts from house to house in the district, and on Monday, 12 new members were enrolled. The ladies will doubtless secure the co-operation of the various religious bodies in this good work. A public meeting will shortly be held under the auspices of the Ffynnongroew Branch.

Death of Capt. John Roberts. The death of Capt. John Roberts occurred on Friday last week, at Church terrace. Many of the village people will miss him, as he had lived here for upwards of 50 years, and attained the ripe age of 80. His funeral took place on Tuesday, at Llanasa, in the presence of a large assembly of people. Floral tributes were given by Mr and Mrs Roberts (Glan-y- Don), Mrs Elder, Mrs J. Roberts (Well Lane), Mr and Mrs Bithell, Mr and Mrs Hughes (Railway Inn), and Mr and Mrs Jones (Boot Warehouse). Rev J. LI. Hughes officiated by the house, and the Vicar of Llanasa—Rev W. L. Prothero-conducted the burial service Capt. Roberts was one of the old school. For the greatest part of his life he followed a seafaring career. A tall well-built, man, in the prime of life 40 years ago he presented a striking figure on the steamers that used to ply between Mostyn and Liver- pool. These steamers being in those days the chief means of trade between the counties of Flint and Denbigh and Liverpool, deceased became a widely-known and popular man. After serving many years on the steamers, he took command of a boat named John and William for a long time. Later on he was appointed Harbour Master at Mostyn. which post he held until early this year, when he retired to his well-earned rest. Deceased leaves one daughter (Mrs Williams), who lives at Carnarvon.

A Hungry Madman. A sensation was caused at Point of Ayr last week-end when it became known that a stranger of wild appearance and manner was wandering about the fields in the vicinity of Talacre'Station. Hisjreplies to the questions of several railway men being incoherent, he was taken to the office of Mr Jones, station- master of Talacre, who gave him food, after- wards causing him to be placed in charge of the police at Prestatyn. The man was evidently out of his mind, and P.C.Cheney made him comfortable at the police station with food and blankets, and was able eventually to ascertain from the man's statement that he belonged to Skerry, Ireland, but had attempted tp walk from Holyhead to Liverpool, spending many days without food, and sleeping out. At the Rhyl Police Court on Saturday Dr Eyton Lloyd said he had examined the man, and;,was of thejopinion that his condition was due to want of food, and, no doubt, a little alcoholic excess. He considered it a case more for the workhouse than the asylum. The man consented to'go to',the workhouse, and an order to that effect was made.
