HARMONY, PENCAER. Concert.—A most successful concert was held at Harmony Chapel, on New Year's night, under the auspices oi the Young People's Mutual Improvement Society. This Society is doing excellent work among the young people of the district, in bringing to light new talents, and in elevating and nourishing their tastes towards good litera- ture. The papers that are being read at the weekly meetings, and the discussion following is sufficient proof of the progress done since it was formed four years ago. Last year an eisteddfod was held on the same date, but this year they decided to organise a concert. After singing Diadem by the congregation and a few introductory remarks by the Pastor (Rev. W Rees), the Chairman (Mr E Perkins, Penysgwarne) in a very interesting addiess, suitable to the occasion, took the audience back to the old custom of spending Dydd Calan," and emphasizing the good feeling that prevailed amongst all classes on that particular occasion. The programme was as follows :-Solo, Baner ein Gwlad," Mr James Owen solo, Y Fam a'l Baban," Miss Blodwen Evans solo, Lead kindly light," Mr D J Richards duett, The Gipsy Countess," Miss Evans and Mr Owen solo, Arm, Arm ye Brave," Mr W D Morris solo, Y Bachgen Ffarweliodd a'i wlad," Miss Lottie Phillips recitation, Christmas Day in the Workhouse," Miss M L Vaughan duett, The Keys of Heaven," Miss Evans and Mr Evans; pianoforte duett, Christmas party," Mrs Rowlands and Miss L A Rees duett, Y ddau Forwr," Messrs Morris and Richards solo, Yr Ornest," Mr W J Evans; solo, Guiding Light," Miss Lottie Phillips solo, True, true till death." Mr D J Richards; solo, ,Neges y Blodeuyn," Mr J Owen; duett, Y Bardd a'r Afonig," Mr and Miss Richards solo, Kathleen Mavourneen," Miss B Evans; duett, "Plant y Cadyrn," Messrs Evans and Owen. All the singers seemed to be at their best, the singing being excellent, and the programme from beginning to end was most creditably perforaecL The duties of accompanist were efficientlv dis- charged by Mrs A J Rowlands, who is always so ready to assist with every good cause. It is worthy of note that never was a concert more orderly from beginning to end. After singing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," Mr Owen taking the solo, a most enjoyable evening was brought to a successful termina- tion.

FISHGUARD PRESS AND DOAN'S. IMPORTANT STEP. The publication in the Fishguard Press of instances of men and women having been cured of kidney and bladder disorderg by Doan's backache kidney pills, has awakened such widespread interest that we have com- missioned one of our representatives to inves- tigate them, and to ascertain whether the cures have proved lasting. To-day we give the evidence of a Pembroke Dock man. Mr Thomas Rees, of 3, London Road, Pem- broke Dock, says :—" For some years I was a great sufferer from kidney complaint. There were bad pains in my side and round the loins, and when I stooped it was a hard matter to get up again. There were urinary disorders, too, the secretions being thick and scalding. I have been using Doan's backache kid- ney pills with most satisfactory results the pains in my back and loins have gone, and the kidney secretions are clear and natural. I am in better health now that I have been for a long while. I have advised many people to try Doan's pills, and I feel sure they will receive benefit from the medicine. (Signed) Thomas Rees." Nearly four years after Mr Rees was cured, he said I gladly confirm what I said for Doan's backache kidney pills. They cured me of distressing backaches and urinary troubles, and I have had no return of the disorders. Doan's pills made a new man of me, and I have recommended them to a great number of people." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shil- lings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co,, 8, Wells-street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Rees bad.

Assessment Problem. Llanychllwydog's Attitude. Newport Threatens to Follow Suit. At the last meeting of the Cardigan Board of Guardians the Clerk read a letter from the Overseers of the parish of Llanychllwydog explaining that as the Assessment Committee refused to accept the list as sent up in the first instance, they had called a parish meet- ing, and then submitted the list signed by eight ratepayers present at that meeting. They were now at a loss to know what was required of them. The Overseer attended the meeting and said the list had been revised to the best of their ability. The Clerk said that when he went tnrougn the list all the alterations he could find were the striking out of three cottages which had got into ruins, and added the value of them to the land of the respective farmers. There had been no increase or decrease whatever. The Rev J LI Morris said that both the statements in the letter and that of the over- seers were quite correct. The Clerk in reply to a question, said that the list was about 15 years old, and there surely had been some changes during that time. Mr B James asked what changes they could expect Jin a district where there was nothing but farms ? The Clerk said the value of a farm altered sometimes. Mr B James said the. rent was not being made the basis of the valuation. the Rev E D Evans said that under the circumstances he saw no objection to their accepting the Lllanychllwydog list, and would move that it be accepted. On this point a long, and at times some- what involved, discussion took place there apparently being a difficulty in making clear the point that the question of accepting the list was a matter for the Assessment Com- mittee and not the Guardians. The Rev J Williams said that as he believed the Town Council were anxious to go into the matter, proposed that further consideration of the appointment of a valuer be deferred for a month, in order that the Town Council and Llanychllwydog could have time to en- quire into their respective lists. Mr B Vaughan said the Llanychllwydog list had been revised in that they took out the ruined cottages and added them to the farms. Mr G L Evans said the fact of a list being altered, while it was proof that it had been considered, was not proof that it was correct. The Rev j D Hughes pointed out that it would be an injustice to make a difference in one case when all the others had been settled. If it was fair in one case it would be fair for all. Unless a fair attempt had been made at re-valuation that list ought not to be signed. They in St Dogmells wanted their rates re- duced as well as Llanychllwydog. They had no proof that the valuation list of that parish was too high, although it had been signed by eight parishioners. Mr T Colby considered that the parishoners of Llanychllwydog should get in two expert farmers to help them. The Rev J LI Morris said they had done so. Mr T Hughes contended that they should value a farm as it ought to be, and not as it was. Mr T Lewis said that if they treated Llan- ychllwvdog differently, they in Newport would want the same. There should be fair play all round. In the end the Rev ;E D Evans agreed to withdraw his motion, and that of the Rev J Williams was carried. At the quarterly meeting of the Cardigan Union Assessment Committee held in the old Council Chamber on Thursday, Mr T Hughes referred to the remark made by Mr Lewis at the Guardians' meeting to the effect that if the Llanychllwydog valuation list were al- allowed, they in Newport would not sign their list. What were they going to do ? He did not dispute they were wrong. The Clerk thought they had better accept the Llanychllwydog list rather than upset the whole Union. The Rev J Williams said the impression left on his mind by Mr Lewis's remarks was that they in Newport were dissatisfied with the work done for Llanychllwydog parish. They had no evidence that they had done anything. The Chairman did not believe either that the parish had been re-assessed as it should be. Further consideration of the matter was deferred for a month.

Church of England in Pembroke- shire. THE YEAR 1909. The year 1909 will be remembered as that in which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners augmented something like twenty poor benefices in the county. Where the popula- tion of any parish exceeded 500 the Ecclesias- tical Commissioners have increased the in- come to £ 200, provided the aSvowson is in public patronage, or if in private patronage the advowson is put in trust, so that it cannot be sold. The changes among the clergy have been few-only one, we are glad to say, was caused by death, namely, that of the Rev Silas T Phillips, vicar of Pembroke Dock and Rural Dean of Castlemartin. The Rev D Akrill Jones, late of Prendergast, has removed to Sketty, and has been succeeded by the Rev J J Davies, late vicar of Whitten, Radnor- shire. The Rev W Beach Thomas, rector of Herbrandston, and the Rev D Thomas, rector of Pwllcrochan, have resigned. Neither of these benefices have been filled as yet. Canon Bowen, of Monkton, has been appointed Rural Dean of Castlemartin, while Canon Williams of Jeffreyston, succeeded the Rev John Morris, of Narberth, as Rural Dean of Narberth, Mr John Morris having resigned owing to ill- health.

CASTLEMORRIS. On Friday, December 17th, an interesting function took place at the County School, Tenby, when the pupils took the opportunity to present Miss M Thomas, cookery mistress, with a beautiful Welsh hot water jug, with stand and lamp, on her departure, as a small token of their love and esteem, and with- best wishes for future happiness and prosperity. The presentation was made by Miss Dora Hicks. Miss Thomas, in a neat and happy speech, thanked one and all for the present, not only for its intrinsic worth, but also for the kind feeling which prompted it. She had had a very happy time indeed at Tenby, and felt sure the scholars would extend to her successor the same sympathy and kindness. Much regret is expressed at Miss Thomas's departure. During the time she has been on the staff she had, by her sympathetic and manner, endeared herself to all, and become very popular. The fortunate possessor of a beautiful voice, she was much in damand at concerts inTenby and neighbourhood and the readiness with which she gave her services for all good causes had won for her universal ad- miration. All wish her long life and happi- ness.

MATHRY. Funeral.—On Saturday, January 1st, the mortal remains of little Tommy Roberts, son of Mr and MrsRoberts, of Llambed, were laid to rest in Granston Churchyard. A very large number of people assembled for the ceremony, and thus testified to the high esteem in which the parents are held, and to their regard for the departed. The Vicar of Nlathry officiated, at the house, and the concourse of people sang with much emotion that beautiful and appro- priate hymn, Thy will be done." At Grans- ton Church the Vicars of Mathry and Grans- ton both officiated, Miss Harries, Tregwynt, presiding at the organ. Whilst the congre- gation were leaving the church, Miss Harries played the .H Dead March very fselingly. The service at the graveside was conducted by the same clergymen, and was of a pathetic and solemn nature. Here a favourite funeral hymn (in Welsh) was rendered at the conclu- sion of the service. V "y beautiful floral wreaths had been sent by sympathising friends. Sincere sorrow is everywhere felt for the be- reaved parents and sister of the deceased, who was the "pet of all the neighbours, and the favourite amongst his schoolmates and teachr ers in week-day and Sunday choo,

Cyfansoddodd Glan yr Afon ar yr Eira," Paul ar "Stephan dan y gawod gerig," ac Eryr Dyfed ar Beth sy'n gwneyd y dyn yn ddyn." Mewn rhyw ystyr, y mae cryn fesur o gyfartaledd rhwng y tri. Y mae Eira Glan yr Afon yn wyn, ac offeiriadol, ac weithiau yn farddonol. Mae Cawod Gerig Paul yn drom a llidus ddigon. Y mae gofyniad Eryr Dyfed yn syml, naturiol, ac addysgiadol. Ein safon i farnu yw cyiaddasder i gwrdd a gallu plentyn. Dylai darn i blant fod yn rhwydd, syml, a naturiol, yn hawdd i'w gofio, ac yn rhwydd i'w adrodd. Ni ddylai fod yn rhy gyffredin, ac ni ddylai ar un cyfrif fod yn rhy aruchel. Dylai fod yn rhywbeth, nid yn unig ag y gall plentyn ei adrodd yn rhwydd, ond hefyd ynbethag y gall plentyn ei amgyffred yn llawn. Dyna ein safon i farnu darn adroddiadol i blant.

Ysgrisenodd Gerald ychydig dros wyth tudalen foolscap, ac anfonodd Ysgoior fu'n esgeulus ei draethawd i'r Beirniaid ac nid i'r Ysgrifenydd. Felly y mae y ddau nr yr un tir yn mhwnc rheolau y pwyll- gor, gan fod y ddau wedi troseddu i'r un mesur, a chaiff y ddau faddeuant fel eu gilydd. Ystyr- iwn bob un o'r traethodau yn fwy na gwerth y wobr. Mae Ysgolor yn llawnach na Gerald gyda golwg ar hen hanes y plwyf. Y mae Gerald yn llawnach nag Ysgolor gyda golwg ar hanes diweddar y plwyf. Pe cesglid defnydd- iau y ddau draethawd at eu gilydd ac ychwan- egu y pethau a adawyd allan gan y ddau, gellid cael un traethawd maith, manwl, a gwir ddyddorol. Carasem i Ysgolor fod yn fwy trefl-. nus a manylach gyda yr hanes diweddar, a charasem i Gerald fod, yn llawnach o fater yn y rhan henafol o'r hanes, eto rhaid cofio fod y gofod yn gyfyng i bob un o'r ddau. Y mae rhai brychau bychain gan y naill a'r llall, ond brychau hawdd ett glanhau ydynt. Y mae un yn dangos mwy o'r beirniad hanesyddol na'r llall, ac y mae yr hanes a rydd yn fwy darllen- adwy a chyson, ar gyfrif hyn gorfodir ni i roddi y flaenoriaeth iddo.

SIX STOWAWAYS SENTENCED To Seven Days' Hard Labour. On Sunday afternoon the Houlder Liner Cornwall outward bound from Liverpool to Australia and New Zealand put into Fish- guard Harbour in accordance with custom, for the purpose of dropping her pilot, and also took. advantage of the opportunity to debark six stowaways, who were handed over to the custody of Sergeant Lewis, who, with the assistance of constables, conveyed them to the Fishguard Police Station. On Monday morning, at the Town Hall, they were brought before Messrs T G Bennett and Levi Evans, upon a charge of having stowed themselves away aboard the vessel without having previously obtained permiss- ion so to do. They described themselves as John North, John Campbell, and Frank Fox,of Liverpool, Harry Ashurst, of Wigan and Joseph Burns and John Shaw, of Birkenhead. All pleaded guilty, Campbell adding that he had been out of work for thirteen days and had thought to get a passage. He had asked an engineer, who had said he did not know how things would be, so he had stood there waiting. David Sullivan, a Trinity Pilot, residing at Seaforth, Liverpool, said that the vessel left l the Mersey in his charge at about four o'clock on the previous Saturday afternoon, and. after she had been out for some time the I officers brought on deck, the prisoners, who had no authority to be aboard. In reply to Mr Bennett, witness said the prisoners did not come up voluntarily. In answer to the Superintendent Rees Brinn, he said he had written authority to prosecute. Mr Bennett said that that sort of thing gave a lot of trouble and cost to shipowners, and was a thing which could not be tolerated. It may be possible that some of them were in straits, and did not know exactly what to do, but that sort of thing must be put down, and the decision of the Bench was that they must each go to gaol for seven days with hard labour.
