Tylorstown. With deep regret we announce the death of Mr, Henry Morgan, East Road. Tylorstown, who was found drowned at A.bermawr; Pem. Deceased was a lay preacher at Hermon Baptist Chapel, and took a very important part in the revival. He was very highly respected and came from a very noted family. He had been suffering for a long period, having had his leg broken at Tylorstown. The Rev. Seth Joshua, conducted a week's mission on behalf of the Free Church Council at Ebeneber and-Hermon last week. On Monday last, the rev. gentleman gave an interesting lecture at Ebenezer on Conversions I have seen." The lecture was very largely attended by people from a distance. The Revs. W. Morris, D.D., Treorchy, and W. A. Williams, Pontypridd, preached eloquent. sermons at the annual meetings of 'Horeb Baptist Chapel on Saturday, Sunday and Monday last.

Ogmore Vale. Snowdrops' Social.—A successful social organised by the local minstrel troupe, The Snowdrops," was held at Tynewydd Schools on Wednesday, the 6th hist., there being a good attendance. An excellent tea provided, after which dancing and whist were indulged in, while at intervals musical items were con- tributed by members of the troupe. Music for dancing was supplied by Messrs. Oapel and Davie*, with Mr. Abner Da vies acting as m Accident.—Mr. John Davies, the genial landlord of the Llanharran Arms Hotel, met with a. serious accident on Wednes- day last, the 6th inst. While driving in his gig near Bryncethin, he came in col- lision with n. passing vehicle, and a wheel ()f his gig; was torn off. Mr. Da vies was thrown heavily on the hard road and "received severe internal injuries. He was brought lionie in a state of collapse, and for some, days lay in a. precarious con- dition, but we are pleased to report a welcome change. We join with his friends in wishing him a speedy recovery. I y Band M Hope Tea.—The English Con- gregational Band of Hope wound up their session on Thursday evening last, when the children were given an enjoyable tea. Under the guidance of Messrs.

Cwmparc, Mr. and Mrs. James Evans, now of Aberdare (late of Cwmparc), were honoured by Park (C.M.) Church on Monday, even- ing, both being the recipients; of very 1 handsome presents. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had been members of the church, the former acting in the capacity of organist for many years. Recently, he was pro- moted to a post as mine manager in Aber- dare. The meeting was a highly success- ful one, and was presided over by the Rev. Wm. Lewis (pastor). On behalf of the church, Mr. T. C. Morgan (Schools) presented Mr. Evans with a beautiful illuminated address, and Mrs. n. Hughes formally handed over to Mrs. Evans a silver coffee service. The deacons all referred in high terms to Mr. Evans" character and past services, and wished him and his family a long life of pros- perity and further service in Aberdare. The recipients suitably responded. Mr. Herbert Jones has passed his final examination qualifying him to act as a chemist. Mr. Jones has wooed success in spite of a period of ill-health.

Pentre. Grand performances of Jack y Bach gen Drwg at the Drill Hall on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings by the Rhondda Premier Dramatic Society, at- tracted very full audiences. This drama is by no means a new one, still its power- ful moral lessons lose none, of their value by repetition from time to time. The drama has not been produced locally for many years, and for a, better production one would be obliged, to seek far and wide. The principal characters are very well personated, while minor characters are also good, thus constituting a very strong dramatic company. Mr. J. Ceiriog must have expended much time and energy in training the company—the whole drama being produced under his supervision and direction. He himself takes the part of Jack," son of Henry and Maria Thomas, two country people. He has one sister, Jane Peregrine/ also. The drama is divided into six acts, each one sub-divided into many scenes, so that the life of Jack is depicted from let boyhood up to manhood. The death of his father leads to John leaving home for Glamorganshire, to accumulate money. -u 1 Promotion as "gaffer" at the works is unfortunately followed by a step in the downward direction, as he succumbs to the temptations of friends and commences to visit the Half Moon Hotel. The efforts of Mr. Jones, the minister, are not suc- cessful in reclaiming John, who finally loses his situation, and his career is blighted. His condition is soon such that he nearly diesi of starvation, and his former friends (?) assist him not; but he 12 rescued and helped by the worst of his:- former friends. resolve to com- mence new lives as total abstainers, visit the Rev. Mr. Jones to sign the pledge. The reunion of prodigal sons with parents and friends takes place in the final scene. The whole drama is true to nature, and contains very many moral lesoons. The acting and staging through- out were excellent; almost unfair to single out_ individuals for special nraise. The; chairmen were Messrs. Watkin Jones, M.} £ Treorchy W. H. Owen, Treorchy; and W. P. Thomas, DC., Treorchy, on the various evenings. The accompanist, Mr. F. Major, and harpist, Mr. Baynes, deserve credit for their material assist- ance. Principal characters —" Jack," Mr. J .0. Hughes; Jack (as a boy), Master W. 0. Thomas; Maria Thomas" (his mother), Mrs. Naomi Hopkins; "Henry Thomas" (his father), Mr. Dd. I Morgan Jane Peregrine (his sister), Miss Cassie Davies Arthur (Jane's husband), Mr. Arthur Morgan; "Mr. Jones" (landlord of Half Moon), I Mr. Evan Davies; "Billy Ponto" (a dissipated character), Mr. W. Jones; "Rev. Jones," Mr. W. Richards; "Ser- geant Wilson," Mr. W. George; P.O. j Harris," Mr. R. Davies: "Mr. Dickin- son" (manager), Mr. B.

Tonyrefail1 On Friday evening, a meeting of the Ratepayers' Association was held at the Institute. In the absence of the chair- man, Mr. H. Rowlands presided over a good attendance. The successful candi- dates of the Association at the recent Parish Council election tendered their thanks for the support given them. We are pleased to note that Mr. W. Lewis (barber) is reviving t male voice singing in the village. He is forming a party which at present numbers about 30 and which he hope.s. will ultimately total 60 voices. Mr. Lewis advocates no instru- i mental accompaniment as far as possible. We hope to see him and his party return victoriously from some one or other of the eisteddfodau in the district shortly. Anniversary services were held in con- nection with Ainon Baptist Chapel. Ton- yrefail, on Sunday, Monday and Tues- day, April 10th, 11th and 12th. The special preachers were the Revs. J. R. Evans, Llwynhendy D. Price, Swansea; and L. Ton Evans, assisted by the native sister from Haiti.. Services were held on Tuesday in connection with the formation of the new Baptist cause at Thomastown, and were attended by a good congre- gation. The services were well appre- ciated and well attended.

"So Shy," j wa-s next sung by a little mite, Miss Nellie Twigg, and she fairly brought the house down by her pretty little gestures, Some boy members of the Union, in an -[7 action entitled Urchins We," gave a vivid imitation of life as led by the little street Arabs of London. So pleased was the audience that the boys were j loudly encored, a second performance being given. After the interval came an action song, fr Grace Darlings," and then another solo by Miss Lydia Colwill. The final item was a Japanese drill bv the girls, an encore being demanded.
