Adgofion am Blwyf Dyserth. Mr Golygydd,-Dyma 6, yn ol fy addewid, yn rhoi rhyw ychydig o fy adgofion am blwyfDyserth —fel yr oedd ddeugain a haner can' mlynedd yn ol. Y mae yn bur debyg fy mod wedi cael gwell mantais na llawer i wybod am y plwyf ynghyda'i drigolion na llawer un sy'n fyw heddyw yn y gymydogaeth. Nid oes odid ffarm yn y plwyf na bum ynddi yn gweithio yn galed hefo fy llif a fy mhwyell. Mae gwaitb saer yn wahanol iawn yn y dyddiau hyn i'r peth oedd yn yr amser aeth beibio. Plwyf bycban ydyw Dysertb, rhyw ddwy i dair milldir un ffordd, a ryw filldir nen lai ffordd arall, Mae y plwyf yn aros rhywbeth yn debyg yn awr i'r peth oedd y pryd hyny; oDd am y preswylwyr -yr hen breswylwyr, fe ellir gofyn, pa le y maent bwy? A ydynt hwy yn fyw byth? 0 na! dim ond rhyw eithriadau sydd i'w gweled ar ol, a'r rhan fwyaf yn ddigon tawel yn y fynwent. Pan ar ymweliad a'r lie (pur anaml bydd hyny), ni byddaf yn adnabod ond ychydig, ac amryw o honynt wrth y tebjgolrwydd sydd ynddynt i'w rhieni a r teulu. Nid wyf yu cofio am gymaint o dir Esgob,' fel y byddem yn ei alw, yn un plwyf yn y wlad ag sydd yn mhlwyf Dyserth tir y Commissioners y gelwir ef yn awr, onide? Nid wyf yn gwybod, ond feallai, mai dyna'r achos fod nyth Ficer Dyserth mor glyd. We], mi ddechreuaf ddweyd yr yohydig sydd genyf am y cwr uchaf i'r plwyf, sef Ty Newydd doedd dim ystyr i'r enw. Yn nechreu y ganrif o rblaen yr oedd rbyw driugain neu ragor o aceri u •j j Pobl tel y dywedwyd, beb dy yn perthyn iddo nid wyf yn gwybod yr hanes yn ddigon manwl, feallai y gwyr Mri Robert Lewis neu Edward Hughes (tae fater am hyny) sut y daeth Miss Elizabeth Williams iddo, yr hon oedd yn cadw masnachdy yn Dyserth, Nid wyf yn gwybod yr amgylchiadau; ond hyn a wn iddi gael re-lease ar y tir, ac adeiladu ty newydd, a dyna ystyr y «Ty Newydd,' Dyserth. Un Mr William H Williams, yr hwn briododd nith i Misa Williams, aeth i'r lie i fyw gyntaf. Yn mhen rhyw gymaint o amser fe symudodd Mr Williams i Felin y Marian, ao yn y oyfamser fe roddodd Miss Williams ofal y shop i'w nai, Mr Edward Jones. Fe aeth y draul o adeiladu y fath dy da, a'r adeiladau da eraill at wasanaeth y ffarm i ganoedd o bunau. Y mae yn debyg mai Thomas Roberts, y saer maen, oedd yr adeiladwr: un o'r dynion gonestaf fel crefftwr yn Sir Fflint. Os wyf yn ccfio yn iawn, dyna y teleran gafodd hi cyn dechrou adeiladu oedd, fod iddi dalu y rhent bob saitb mlynedd; er hyny, mi clywais hi yn dweyd fwy nag unwaith mai prin oedd y He yn talu iddi. Cofier, yr oedd eisiau llog ar yr arian a wariwyd ar yr adeiladau. Yr oedd Miss Wil liams yn ffarmio yn dda, a 'doedd dim modd gwneud yn well o'r fath dir-dim prinder o ddim:, digon o bob peth wrth law. Gan mai merch oedd hi yr oedd angen am hwsmon arni, ac fe ddaeth Dafydd Parry, ei nbai, o Lerpwl, ati. Saer coed oedd ef wedi ei ddwyn i fyun, ac ar ol hyny f e aeth yn saer melinau fe gladdodd ei wraig yn Lerpwl, ac mae'n debyg i'r amgylchiad hwnw beri iddo ddyfod i'r Hen Wlad at ei fodryb. Yn mhen ameer fe 'rodd ei lygaid a'i serch ar Miss Davies, .04'. merch y Graig, yn Newmarket, a'r canlyniad fa iddynt briodi, ac iddo adael ei fodryb a glynn wrth lei wraig. Yn y cyfamser fe gymmerodd Felin v Pentre, Rhuddlan, ac fe ddaeth i fusnes mawr. Feallai y bydd genyf air am dano eto cyn diwedd yr hanes. Un o'r'enw John Williams gymerodd ei le fel hwsmon-dyn gonest a da ydoedd ef i'w feistres, ac nid wyf yn meddwl y methwn wrth ddweyd na chafodd y ffarm byth mo'i llafurio yn debyg ar ol i'r teulu ddarfod a hi. Fe welir mai hen fercb oedd Miss Williams, ac yr wyf yn sicr nad oedd hi ddim yn hen ferch chwaith oherwydd nad oedd r neb wedi cynyg ei law iddi. Yroedd hi yn un o'r merched harddaf a glanaf yn y wlad yn ei dvdd, ac wedi bod yn llwyddianus yn ei masnach, er wedi 'trystio,' fel y byddwn ni yn arfer dweyd. Adeiladodd amryw o'r miners dai ar y omon, f-1 y byddid yn ei alw, ond fe ddaeth amryw o'r tai i'w meddiant am y ddyled oedd arnynt iddi. Yr oedd yn bleser meddwl myned i'r Ty Newydd i weithio, nid am nad oedd yno ddigon o waith yn eich aros, ond am fod Miss Williams yn cadw Dwrdd a rhywbeth gwerth i w fwyta arno. Yr oedd Mrs Davies (nith i Miss Williams) yno er ys blynyddoedd hefo hi, ac un iawn oedd hithau am iVVbod sut i wneud ymborth blasus. Yr oedd Ilawer o ferched yn yr oes hono, er wedi cael y defnyddiau goreu, yn anfedrus iawn pan yn eu detnyddio: feallai fod rhai felly yn awr, o ran hyny. Dyna beth arall oedd yn galondid i'r saer i fyned i'r Ty Newydd i weitnio, sef gwybod pan y darfyddai ei waith y byddai ei gyflog wrth law, dim eisiau cadw cyfrit na gwneud bil byth. Nid felly y byddai hefo llawer ffarmwr rbyw esgus, megis dim newid, neu eisiau gwerthu rhyw anifail neu rhywbeth o'r fath byddem yn gorfod aros am amser, ac ymofyn rbagor nag unwaitb am ein cyflog yn ami. Cof genyf i Miss Williams anfon Dafydd Parry i Lerpwl i brynu cerbyd newydd iddi, ac mi aeth i Ie oedd yn Uawn o gerbydau o bob math ag oedd yn y ffasiwn yr oes hono. Yr oedd Parry yn meddwl ei fed yn un llygadog-yr oedd felly hefyd mewn llawer ffordd-ond 'doedd o ddim i fynu a'r oes yn Lerpwl y dyddiau hyny. Fe lygadodd ar gerbyd yn ei feddwl ei bun fase I yn gwneud y tro yn iawn i'w fodryb i'w brynu, a rhoddodd bris mawr am dano, a daeth ;Vr cerbyd adrer, a boddlouwyd ei fodryb yn fawr. Wel, ar 01 ei ddefnyddio am,ryw ychydig fe ddangosodd I arwyddion mai hen gerbyd ydoedd wedi ei wneud j fynu fel un newydd. Mor hawdd yw i ddya go lygadgraff gael ei siomi; llawer a chwerthwyd gan y ddau am ben yr amryfusedd. Mr Golygydd, Y r wyf wedi ysgrifenu rhan o'r hanes uohod er s misoedd ond fe ddaeth afiechyd l na Iluddias ac i guro ar fy mhabell, i adgofEa i rm nad oes i mii jma ddmas barhaus. Os caf svw yn Tre Castell y byddaf yn dechreu y llith neeiaf., Rhuddlan. Thomas Huohes. ]

Children grow strong on Cadbury's cocoa beeause it contains in a generous measure those food elements that are essential to health and good physical condition. It possesses the combined advantages of being thirst-quenching, invigorating, and highly nourishing, and the children like it especially because. it is the nicest cocoa." Everybody should drink Cadbury's cocoa regularly at breakfast and lunch time, and particularly with the evening meal, because, owing to its mildly stimulative action, it is one of the few beverages that aid rather than retard the digestion of other foods. i Cocoa is strongest when pure—Cadbury s is the strongest cocoa because it is the purest.

Rhyl Petty Sessions. A SALMON POACHER TRAPPED. TUESDAY. -Before Messrs. S. Perks (chair- man), W.. Elwy Williams, John Foulkes, R. C. Enyon, J. H. Ellis, R. M. Hugh-Jones, G. A. Taverner, and J. W. Jones. The Advertising Association Ball. The Town Clerk (Mr A. Rowlands) applied for an extension of the Town Hall dancing licence till ;W a.m., on the occasion of a ball in aid of the funds of the Rhyl Advertising As- sociation, on Wednesday night. An extension till a.m. was granted. Fred Wallis, Wynnstay Hotel, was granted authority to sell intoxicants in connection with une oaii. St. Patrick's Day. Miss MatthewS, of Co-stigan's," was grant- ed an extension of an hour on the occasion of a dinner on St. Patrick's Day. A Fishy Case. Robert Thomas Hughes, labourer, 46 Victoria Road, was summoned by Thomas Deed, river watcher ]n the employ of the Clwyd and Elwy Fishery Board, for having had in his possession on February 26th an unclean and unseasonable salnlon- Mr F. J. Gaiiiiin, who appeared for the prose- cution, stated that in the evening of February 26th defendant took the fish produced, which bore the mark of a gaff, to the shop of Mr Boyle, fishmonger, of whom he asked 6d per lb for it. Mr Boyle said he had not sufficient change and gave defendant 5s on account, and arranged that the balance should be paid the following morning* Mr Deed got to hear about the matter, and when he appeared at the shop in the morning defendant admitted that the fish was his.. j Thomas J Boy'e» 111 boaring out this state- ment, said the fish was unclean and not fit for human food. Cross-examined by defendant, witness denied that he had ever bought a salmon from defen- danfe before. He really^didn't buy this salmon. When defendant brought it to him he gave him os in order to secure it until Mr Deed saw it. He denied that he had any ill will against defendant because he refused to let him hatfe 1 some rabbits at a penny apiece less than he wanted for them. He refused to buy the rab- bits from defendant at all. DefeDdant- you had them, and I took them out of the trap because you would only give 8d each for them and 1 wanted 9d. Witness said that the reason why he reported this matter was because the fishermen at Foryd who had to take out licences were not getting fair play- ^weudant produced to wit- ness the gaff with wnichi he had taken the fish, yet he told Mr Deea he found the fish on the river bank. Defendant- I used the gaff to pull it on to to the bank, of course (laughter). Witness-You said you found it. Replying to the Bench, witness said he had authority to take in all salmon that were poached. Mr Gamlin (to defondant)-And you were the first bird that cania to the net. Thomas Deed alo gave evidence and descri- bed the fish as unnt for food. Defendant mainfcained that as he sold the the salmon tbn,tee» hours before Mr Deed came on the scene, Mr Deed could not charge him with having 1 _ln bis possession. He was going along the river bank gathering sticks when he saw the sa.mon close to the side. sc Having regard to the fact that he had nothing in the house for hls children to eat he gaffed the fish with a cod took, which he happened to have in his pocket, and took it to Mr Boyle, knowing he had bought fish in that way before. He knew he was doing wrong in taking the fis » but it Was necessity that drove him to it. He maiotained that the fish was thoroughly clean. Mr Ellis—When did you sell fish to Mr Boyle before Defendant—Twelve months ago this winter. Mr J W Jones-Salmon ? Defendant- Yes. Mr Boyle-Kever. Mr Gamlin, in asking the Bench to impose a severe penalty-the maximum being R5- said that not only was the salmon unclean, but had it been used as human food ptomaine poisoning might have resulted. Defendant-l wish I had the fish in my house. A fine of £ 1 and 11s 6d costs was imposed, and an order was made for the destruction of the salmon, which was stated to weigh 281bs. Mr Elwy Williams remarked that defendant was getting off very leniently, especially as Mr Gamlin was not taking any fee. The Drink. Mary Friinston, charwoman, 26 Morfa Bach, was fined 2s 6d and 6s costs for drunkenness and disorderly behaviour in Vale Road on the ord inst. P.O. Owen proved the case, and defendant pleaded guilty, to save time." Thomas William Richards, commission agent, 10 Chapel Place, Denbigh, was summoned for drunkenness and disorderly behaviour in Queen Street on the 2nd inst. P.O. R 0 Williams stated that defendant was so very drunk that he had to carry him to the lock-up. Not only did he threaten to strike witness, but he actually did so. Defendant having denied that he was dis- orderly, Inspector Pearson was called to corroborate the constable's description "of the man's be- haviour, following which a line of 2s 6d and 68 costs was imposed. Free Breakfasts for Necessitous School Children. 'I Robert Thomas Hughes, the defendant in the salmon case, was also summoned for having neglected to send his 12-year-old child regularly to school. The School Attendance OHicer (Mr William Parry) stated that the child in question was only in standard 1 and had made only 86 attendances out of a possible llo. This was the sixth time that defendant had been sum- moned in respect to the same child. Defendant, with much feeling, put forth as his excuse that he had not been able to give his children breakfast before sonding them to school. During the recent five weeks he had been out of work he did not think he had earned 10s apart from the os he got for the salmon. Mr Parry said that whenever such cases came under observation the children attending school without having had breakfast at home were given a ticket for a meal, and he had himself given tickets to defendant's children. Defendant was fined 5s, including costs.

Rhyl as a Winter Health Resort. Rhyl is rapidly acquiring a high reputa. tion for its climate in winter. Hitherto its advantages as a winter resi- dence have not been appreciated as they deserve, which I attribute to the fact that they have uot been sufficiently made known, and I am convinced that the more they are "det I considered, the more popular will it become as a health resort. It stands almost unequalled for the salu- brity and dryness of its atmosphere, its exemp- tion from all kinds of epidemics, and its entire freedom from fogs. The small precipitation of rain, and absence of mist and fog in winter at Rhyl, is due, in the first place, to the Snowdonian mountains having condensed and caused the precipita- tion of the moisture of the rain winds, and secondly to the drying influence of the wide expanse of sandhills and the sand _o'- left between the tide marks, and the conse- quent absence of standing water. The dry and porous nature of the soil, of course, exercises a great influence on the warmth of its climate, as through the soil the rain percolates almost as soon as it falls, and but little, therefore, is left to cool and moisten the air by evaporation. The rainfall of Rhyl is remarkably smal and there is a very high record of sunshine, the average temperature being cooler in summer and warmer in winter than either in Torquay or Bournemouth. The long and lofty range of mountains traversing the whole of North Wales exercises, a very important influence on its climate. r The fall ot rain in the mountainous regions far exceeds the fall in the immediate locality of Rhyl, and to this fact the town is to a considerable extent indebted for the abnorm- ally high temperature it enjoys through the winter months. ¡ Many eminent doctors in the large English towns speak in the highest terms of the climate along the North "Wales Ccast, and climate along the North "Wales Ccast, and send their patients thither, to winter and I recuperate during convalescence, and the late ( Dr Evans, of Birmingham, who during his! lifetime was a frequent visitor to Rbyl, used to say that it was unrivalled in the United Kingdom as a residence for consumptive patients. Years ago, invalids were ordered to Tor- quay and Ventnor, until those health resorts being found too relaxing the more bracing I air of Bournemouth was discovered to be e beneficial. And there is no doubt whatever that before many years have passed, the stil purer and more bracing air of Rhyl will in many cases be preferred to that of either off the winter resorts I have mentioned. Another important advantage possessed by Rhyl is its accessibility, it being about three hours'ride from Birmingham, and the London and North Western Railway Company, who own the line by which our destination is j: reached, offer every facility in the way of cheap fares, for long or short periods, during j} the winter months. 11 R hyl is now an important town with a resident population of about 9,000. The principal streets and promenade are i lighted with electricity; the Town Band plays during the winter frequent concerts and entertainments take place; and there are good j hockey, football arid social clubs, so that those 1 who believe the place is dull in winter will be most agreeably surprised, as they will be, also, at the low prices charged during the 11 winter months at the hotels and boarding E houses. ] I have visited Rhyl in almost every month < of the year for periods of three months to ] three days at a time, and I fully believe tht as a winter resort it cannot be surpassed, and t the fact that it has been selected for a place j of permanent residence by numbers of men 1 of business and independent means proves I it is a desirable place to live at all the year ( round, and as the grandness and beauty of its climate in winter become better under- stood, there will be few places more sought after as a winter resort.
