In making the presentation, on behalf of the staff, Mr. Elias Jones commented on the swift and satisfac- tory progress Mr. Evans had made during the ten years he had the pleasure of being his co-worker, during which time Mr. Evans and himself had worked amicably together. although it would be no compliment to either side to say they had always agreed. Mr. Evans had a warm place in the hearts of the whole staff, and he had great pleasure in handing him the small present on his depar- ture from amongst them. The bag was rather small but he thought Mr. Evans could rely that it contained its full complement of good wishes for his future success. Mr. j. H. Thomas. Mr. R. Edwards, and others also spoke, and Mr. Evans suitably thanked them for their kindness and good wishes, which he did with much feeling.
