DEATH OF MR JOHN DAVIES, COMMERCIAL HOTEL, FISHGUARD j It is with regret that we announce the death of Afi- John navies of the Commercial Hotel, Fishguard, after an illness of a short d: nation. The deceased, who was most liigldy esteemed in the town and neighbour- hood, had held the position of stationuiastcr at, Cryinmych, Clynderwen, and other places, for a number of years. During his stay at Crymmyeh he took a great iiiterest affairs of the place generally—upon several occasion acted as secretary to eisteddfodan, &c. Mr Davies and his family came to [ Fishguard about seven years ago to take oyer the Commercial Hotel, at which place Mr Davies drew his last breath on Thurs- day, the 28th day of December last. The deceased was very highly respected by both rich and poor, and in his death the latter will miss a true friend. We need not say that Mrs Oavies and her children feel very keenly'the loss which they have sustained, and to them there will be a terrible Wank, j and, indeed, to the townspeople in general, The funeral took place on Monday last and was very largely attended, his remains! being interied in the New Cemetery, Fish- guard. The coffin, which was made of polished oak, bore the following iuscripLÍoll- JOHN DAVIES, DIED 1 DEC. 28th, 1893, AGED 51 YEARS. Places of business were partially closed, and blinds were drawn all along the route as a « £ sixniiiiauhy for the bereaved widoiv and family, The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr Walter James, undertaker, Fishguard.

TRAP ACCIDENT. Mr Cr. XL Lawrence, Excise Officer, Fisl..guard, met with a trap, accident, on V\ ednesday afternoon, and it appears tlmL he received severe injuries to his head and face.

STRA Y NOTES. [BY PHILO."] f The stirring addresses delivered at the 'presentation meeting on Friday lliht will, undoubtedly, create a nesire and be a spur to our youngsters to become perfect ia tho arc of swimming. Undoubtedly, the numerous readers of the Echo will regret to hear of the death i of Mr John Davies, of -the Commercial Hotel. He was well known and higidy estee.med, and in his death Fishguard has lost oue of its most popular inhabitants. Our footballer have bad a vory unsuc- eessful season so far. They were again defeated on Boxing Day at St. David's. Being a eye-witness of the last match, I had prepared some notes ou the game, but I have just been informed that there is no space at my disposal jthis week.—-[We regret our inability to publish Pliilo's regret our inability to publish Pliilo's football notes this week.] At a prayer meeting a man expressed himself LillIS Dyro oleuni i mi yn Ie: cwattodd maugu yr arian pan landiodd y French, ar gownt i fi gael tamed o fara." Whether he has had the required light, I am not in a position to say. I hope the school question has come to au end, and that the parties interested in the management will co-operate, that we may again see the schools in their usual flourishing state. Some of our school teachers have spent a very quiet Christmas, and, indeed, no wonder, when we consider that obey lie > to go without their salaries. I hear that our enterprising townsman, Mr William James, intends oil his premises. Cood start in the new year. The new year has commenced its course in fine weather. A party had been organised to caroi tho new year ill, but L am ex I rem el v- sorry to hoar that their efforts were in vain, through being interrupted by a gang of young men and women, who indulged in singing comic songs, &c., whilst 11*1 the select party rendered religious hymas. The disturbance wlnen. prevailed on new year's morning does not add anything to the credit of our town.
