Passed Away.—On Sunday last early in the afternoon, Mr. Henry Haines, of Goodwtck Bridge, passed away to eternal rest after many months of poignant suffering from a malignant disease which affected the cavity of the mouth and throat. The veteran voyager has entered the haven ever open for the generous good. Deceased was of sterling character, full of sincerity, honest endeavour and cheerful help. He lived an upright, strenuous life for others, and he gained the un- dying esteem of everyone. The Vicar of Fishguard on Sunday evening last could not refrain from making reference to one of the most faithful christian men and adherents to the church that has ever passed from life to the realm of peace. All hearts were touched to sympathy for the gentle widow, Mrs. Haines, whose ministrations and devotion to her stricken husband day and night for months won the deepest respect of everyone acquainted with the family. While tears are shed for the loss of a noble, horney handed son of toil there is reason for gratification that he lived so long to do helpful service to those around him and the world, which is all the better for his example of integrity and true worth. In return for all he did, so happy and well, he has met his reward, a place with the revered dead whose souls have gained immortality. His name will live in blessed memory because ot the numberless loving acts of kindness that marked his sojourn here. After completing full term of years in His Majesty's Navy deceased was attached to the coast guards at Goodwick. In due course he was placed on the retired list and settled at Fishguard. Residents and visitors alike always found the deceased and his wife ever ready to perform acts of kindness. What so- ever their hands found to do was done with true conscientousness. The son Capt Haines, has followed with success a life on the sea and the deceased's only daughter is also married to a Fishguardian, who at present holds a high rank in the Navy. With his widow and children we extend heartful sympathy. The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) at Manorowen Parish Churchyard. The Rev W Evans, vicar of Fishguard, officiated at the house, and also at the service held at St Mary's Church, where deceased was a faithful member.-The bearers were a num- ber of Coastguards and naval men in uniforms, under the command of their chief, Mr Nicholas. The Vicar also officiated at the graveside. The hymns, Peace, perfect peace," and On the Resurrection morn," were sung at the Church. There were some beautiful floral tributes from relatives and friends of deceased. -Mr Gwynne James, High-street, carried out the funeral arrangements. G.F.S.—The members of the local Girls' Friendly Society enjoyed the annual tea treat on Friday last at the National Schoolroom. Presiding at the tables were Mrs Evans, Mrs Tavner, Mrs D. P. Lewis, Miss Harries, Miss Jenkins, Miss Phillips, Miss Bennett, Miss Braithwaite, and Miss Williams. The tables having been removed a most pleasant enter- tainment was held, those taking pad. being Miss Tavner, solo Miss M. Burnnard, recita- tion Miss Martha Rowlands, solo. Miss A. M. Tavner presided at the piano. Drunk and Disorderly.—At a special meet- ing of the Dewisland Session at the Police Station on Saturday morning last before Messrs. T. G. Bennett, (chairman), and J. R. Richards,—John Roberts, a travelling hawker, was brought up charged with being drunk and disorderly in Drim Road on the previous night. P.C. Rowlands detailed the particul- ars, and a fine of 2/6 and costs was imposde. HERMoN.- The ordinance of baptism was carried out at Glanainon on Sunday after- noon last in the presence of a numerous assembly of spectators, three young women being baptised by the earnest pastor, Rev Dan Danies.—On Sunday afternoon next the Rev Dan Davies, and the Rev Ifan Davies, Llangloffan, will preach at Scleddy Chapel onlthe occasion of the reopening of the sacred edifice after undergoing renovation. 1 he Rev Levi John, Goodwick, will be the preacher in the evening MR WYNFORD PHILLIPS, M.P., has paired for the rest of the session, and he and Mrs Phillips have gone abroad till the end of September. Letters requiring immediate attention should be addressed to Secretary, Lydstep Haven, Penally, R.S.O, Pem. POSTPONED.-We are asked to announce that the turn-out, proposed to be held on August Bank Holiday in connection with Court Glan Gwain, Ancient Order of Fores- ters, has been postponed indeffinitely. POLITICAL.—We are informed on reliable authorityl that Mr Austen Chamberlain has promised to address a series of public meetings in the County early next year, under the auspices of the Tariff Reform League Early Closing.—The secretaries of Good- wick Sports and Regatta request us to appeal through our columns to the tradesmen of Fishguard to close their respective business establishments on Tuesday afternoon next on the occasion of the regattta. They argue, and rightly so, that Goodwickians have al- ways closed for the Fishguard Regatta. Choral Society.—Mr H. B. George (chemist), the diligent hon. secretary to the Fishguard and Goodwick Choral Society, has handed us a balance sheet giving detailed particulars of the receipts and expenses in connection with the society's excellent performance at Hermon Chapel on the 15th of May last. The statement of account, which has been duly audited by Messrs G. L. Blackburne and Morgan H. Jones, shews the total receipts from all sources to have amounted to £ 63. 13s 3d. The ex- penses include the following payments:— Swansea Orchestra and vocalists assisting, ^32 7s 6d; artistes, fii is 7d; printing and advertising, £6 10s gd; hire of piano, £ 2 los; postage and stationery, &c., £ 1 14s 7d; other expenses, £ 4 is., leaving a balance 01 £ 5 is.—Anyone desirous of examining the accounts may do so on calling upon Mr H. B. George.—We may mention that- Jones, J.P., subscribed £ 3 3S;> Mr 1. G. Bennett, J.P., £ 1 is. to the funds of the S°Thanks. —Mrs W. S. Jenkins andfamilybeg to thank the many friends who have sympa- thised with them In their sad bereavement. Holiday.Yesterday (Wednesday), Mr F. Rowlands (a Fishguard 'boy'), with Mrs Rowlands and their little son, returned to Cardiff after spending a fortnight in the town. Mr Rowlands holds an important position at the large establishment of Messrs Morgans, The Hays, Cardiff. Council Sciiool.—No clearer piool need bc given of the harmonious feeling existing be- tween the staff and scholars at the Council School than the unexpected presentation made on Wednesday of last week to the capable headmaster, Mr O. D. Jones, in view of his approaching marriage, which is to take place at Llangammarch during the school holidays. The teachers and scholars had been subscribing towards the cost of a wedd- ing gift,"which took the form of a massive cutlery case in polished walnut, full of cut- lery. Miss Owens, the headmistress, suitably introduced the proceedings, the gift being handed to Mr Jones by Miss Lizzie Thomas, Goodwick House, the senior scholar, who made a neat little speech and wished the recipient a long and happy married life.—Mr Jones, in thanking them for the gift, said they had taken him quite unawares and he was at a loss for words to show how grati- fied he was at this mark of respect and kind- ness towards him. Tower Hill C.M. Sunday School had its annual tea treat yesterday (Wednesday) in a field, kindly lent by Mr E D Jones, J.P., on Tower Hill. The treat proved a most enjoy- able one. Tea Treat.—The following ladies presided at the tables at the Church School treat on Wednesday of last week :—Mrs Evans, Miss Bennett, Mrs Tavner, Miss Lloyd and Mrs Edwardes, Mrs Berry, Mrs Nicholls, Mrs D. P. Lewis, Mrs J. R. Richards, Miss Harries (Castle Hill), Miss Jenkins, Mrs Swete, Miss James, Mrs Mason, Mrs W. J. Vaughan, Mrs Williams (Royal Stores) and Mrs Eynon. Motor-Lifeboat :—Mr. R. Thompson, of the firm, of Messrs. Thompson and Evans, the Motor Cycle Garage, West street, has been appointed motor-engineer of the new lifeboat to be placed at Fishguard in the Wigwen Lifeboat house. There is no doubt that the firm mentioned will fulfil the appoiniment with complete satisfacton. BAPTISTS.—In accordance with an old established custom, next Sunday, being the first Sunday in August, will be kept as a day y 11 of prayer by the various Baptist Churches in the County and elsewhere.—An interesting Welsh article, giving the origin of this custom will be found in another column of this issue. —The Pembrokeshire Baptist Associat on Letter" will reach the various churches bv Sunday next, and which contains the very able address delivered by the president, Mr W Geo James, J.P., LIysyronen, at the con- ference of the Association held at Betheda Chapel, Haverfordwest, in June last, the sub- ject being The Bible and Science." CATTLE SHOW CONCERT.—A glance at the advertisement in another column will be sufficient to satisfy all lovers of high-cla1 music that this year's Cattle Show Concert will be a musical treat of the best kind, two of the artistes engaged—Miss Evans and Mr Davies—being recognised among the best vocalists of the day. Miss Evans has only recently returned from Italy, where she has been studying for the past three years, and has already won distinction as the coming Madam Patti of Wales." Mr Anthony, who has the concert annangements in hand, has been most fortunate in his choice of singers, and it is hoped that the public generally will show their appreciation of his efforts by a crowded attendance.

GOODWICK. Do not forget the Eisteddfod at Hermon Chapel, Fishguard, on Monday afternoon next. Some of the winning choirs at Good- wick Eisteddfod have already entered, while the entries for the champion solo include some first rate vocalists. The opening of the Berachah new Chapel- The services connected with this occasion will be held on-Tuesday and Wednesday, the 13th and 14th of August. The following well- known ministers will attend -Rev W. E. Prytherch, Swansea; Rev Phillip Jones, Llanelly (formerly of Fishguard); Rev Wm Evans, M.A., Pembroke Dock. One or two English sermons will be delivered. A collec- tion will be made at each service towards the building fund.—It is requested that every con- tributor of one shilling and upwards will enclose his gift in an envelope bearing his name, before leaving it on the plate.—The services on the Sundays following will, as af now, be partly Welsh and English.—Advt A Costly Cackle)'—Last Thursday after- noon a party including a clergyman from Glamorgan arrived by the mid-day boat express. To the Newport coach they were transferred, some of the luggage being placed on the top of the vehicle. As is customary the bus waited the arrival of 4the 4 o'clock train and while thus situated a hen in a box on the roof of the bus put out her head and commenced to cackle. Always on the alert In- spector Webb instituted inquiries in order to learn if the cackler had been duly booked at the other end or had it had a free ride. This latter proved correct and the bird's cackle cost the owners the sum of one shilling and two pence. Several times did the hen pop out its head only to receive gentle reproof for giving the show away, so to speak. From America.—On Thursday last there arrived at Goodwick two American cousins of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, Glanymor. It is their first visit to the old country and it is hoped they will enjoy the sojourn at the hospitable abode on the hill. The pulpit at the Methodist Hall next Sunday will be occupied by the popular young minister, the Rev William Evans, Kilgerran. Build] n, Operations are in progress for the erection of some thirty or more houses by the G. W. R. Company on the Duffryn estate. Pencw has been transformed into quite a colony of trimly built and neat looking dwell- ings. Sixty are at present inhabited and almost as many more are under construction, under the able direction of Mr. Moses, the ex- pert builder. With wonderful rapidity the new villas on the breast of the slope, skirting the Bay Hotel road are being completed. That which provides extra accommodation for the hotel is the acme of comfort and conven- ience. Everything modern in the building art is embodied within its walls. By a most in- genious zig-zag formation the approach from Pencw road is made easy and comfortable, thus avoiding laborious steps, besides afford- ing beds which, in due course, will enhance the beauty of the environment by holding picturesque flowers and shrubs. 11ns innova- tion belongs to the superintendant Mr. Moses, and which met with the fullest approval of Mr. G. Lambert Gibson. At the basement there are snug and convenient pantries, coal houses, recesses and necessary offices that add to the general completeness of the whole, the latter bearing the hall mark of skill of the best kind. Visitors and guests will find the new additional accomodation most salubrious and commodious. Respecting the Pencw dwellings, the latest are slightly larger than the earlier built ones, and have all modern conveniences. The whole of the building blocks testify to Mr. Moses inborn skill, the outcome of life-long practical exper- ience. Many a valuable hint might be gleaned and turned to profit by builders after an inspection of the G.W.R. Company s latest type of dwellings. Harbour Pars.- The" St. George" the lovliest of the turbine fleet, arrived from Liverpool on Friday after survey and over- hauling of machinery and commenced duty on Sunday morning last, in place of St. David's. A wooden landing stage is under construction inside the breakwater. This being the deepest part of the harboar it is conjectured that the American mail boats will have no difficulty in entering at any state 01 the tide and landing mails and passengers- The arrival of the American mail liners is a consumation devoutly to be wished. ou the coming winter prove as boisterous as the record one just passed the landing stage may be utilised by the present boats let the weather be ever so tempestuous. n Wednes- day By the 2.20 train came passengers to the a number of 270. Regatta.—The first annual regatta and sports will take place at Goodwick on Tues- day next, the latter on the Sands, and there is every prospect of the event being an un- qualified success. A capital programme has been issued and the. entries already received by the sepretaries give promise of some keen competitions. All entries must be in by Sat- urday morning s first post.—The committee has secured tlie services of the Tenby Town Band for the occasion, so that the day's pro- ceedings—weather permitting-will provide capital enjoyment. Goedwig Sunday School held its annual tea treat on Tuesday afternoon last m a field kindly lent by Mr E Jack:l°"; 3e being fine, the treat a m 1 enjoyable one.In the evening a Iterary meeting was held in the chapel, Presided o\er by the pop- ular pastor, Rev J S 'P?v1'}vllea s°l°s, and recitations were contributed by various mem- bers and others. In a reading competition the prize winners were Miss Ethel Morris, Goodwick, and Miss Violet Thomas, Pencw. —Everything passed off well IJenner Council School had its holiday break-up tea treat on Monday last, and was much enjoyed by the throng of juveniles who participated in the excellent things provided. The teaching staff were assisted by a number of willing helpers in the work of preparing the tea and serving at the tables. THE G.W.R. BOAT CONTRACT. To the Editor of tho" County Echo." Dear Sir,—In your last week's paper you have reported that there were 40 tenders (which I very much question) for the supply of stores for the G.W.R. steamers, I have been supplying the steamers for the last year but wrote the Company that I purposed giv- ing up the contract, and the Company pre- vailed upon me to keep on for another month, which I did. A new price list was then issued, with the result that Mr D. J. Evans was the lowest. I may add that the G.W.R. were quite satisfied with my goods and the attention I gave to their orders.— Yours faithfully, JAMES EVANS.

What Some Eminent Doctors say about Alcohol. Perhaps of all the remarkable pronounce- ments on the vexed question, whether alcohol is bad or good, a speech by one of the leading doctors is difficult to tide over. Brielly the happy moderator, who is able to draw the line is on the right track. Speaking at the annual dinner of the Medico-Psychological Association in London on Thursday evening Sir James Crickton Browne said they had at that table many of the highest authorities in the country on the alcohol question, and in order to ascertain how far they adopted the extreme view on the subject he had sought the assistance of the hotel manager. Of 84 diners only five or six per cent had declined alcohol altogether and 94 per cent had par- taken of alcohol in some form-a large majority in several different forms. He re- cently dined with Sir Andrew Noble and 18 leading men of science, including Lord Kelvin, and not one of them declined alcohol. In view of such facts it was a farce, or an ob- session or a gross hyperbole, to speak of alcohol as a deadly poison.
