DEATH OF THE VICAR 'OF' LLANDYFRIOG. On Saturday last, after a short illness, the death took place of the Rev. Henry Jones. B A., vicar of Llqiidyfriog, near Newcastle-Emlyn. The deceased gentle- man. who was 76 years of age, was a graduate of St. David's College, Lampeter, and had been curate of Abergwili and Liaiiybyfher. He was vicar of Eglwys- cumin, near Whitland, before he had the living of Llandyfriog. He leaves a widow and one grown-up daughter. His death will be a great loss to the parish, being held in high respect by all denominations. The vicarage family were known far and wide for their hospitality and generosity, and were frequent visitors of the sick and poor, be they of whatever denomination. The funeral took place on Thursday at Llanwenog, an account of which will appear in our next iS6ue.

CARMARTHENSHIRE. ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY. That archaeology as presented by some members of our County Society is now dry- as-due,t affair is evidenced by the large audi- ence of soldiers which crowded into the Y.M.C.A. on Monday afternoon last to hear a lecture by Mr. Percy J. Williams on British Coins." Mr. Williams, now inva- lided out of the army after much active ser- vice in Salonica. came at once to a close grip of his hearers, who over their mugs of hot coffee and tea, were deeply interested in the numerous examples set out for display in a large cholocate case! The various peculiari- ties and idiosyncrasies of the Sovereigns down to Victoria with her insignificant double florin or four-shilling piece were poin- ted out and briefly commented upon by the lecturer. Mr. Williams also exhibited some rare old snuff boxes of different nations, of which he gave a remarkable and interesting account. Mr. George Eyre Evan6, who was present, complimented Mr. Williams upon his splendid lecture and promised the sol- diers that he would address them on "What to see in Carma/rthen and how to sipe it shortly. Hearty cheers were accorded Mr. Williams and Mr. George Eyre Evans. Dur- ing the past week numbers of soldiers have visited the society's rooms at 54, King-street. 4 v

Lampeter Town Council —i— The monthly meeting of the above coun- cil was lield at the Victoria Hall on Thursday evening, January 3, when Coun- cillor J. S. Jones (mayor) presiJed. Also present: AUfermen Walter Davies, *Le\v:s Jones. William Jones, Evan Evans; Coun- cillors LI. Bankes-Price, T. S. Morgan, Davies (College-street), D. F. Lloyd, T. \V. I Jones, D Davies, D. Jones, 1) Thomis; Mr J. Ernest Llovd. town clerk; Mr. E. D. Rees, assistant clerk; and Mr R. W. Ashman, surveyor and inspector. Mr. Ashman read his monthly report, from which it transpired that the water in the reservoir had decreased by nine feet owing to the frosty weather and leakages. All the gullcys in each street had been thoroughly cleaned. A fire broive out at Ty Poeth farm, and the inspector and I eight members of tfte fire brigade went there. As the"e was a scarcity of water in the 'vicinity, the fire engine was not taken up, but the members of the brigade received valuable assistance from several young men in the town, and the conflagra- tion was prevented from extending to peveral ricks in the farm-yard. The flag- staff had been permanently fixed on the J'own Hall. Efforts were being: made to repair Blaenwtrn road, but while the work- men were filling the ruts, traction engines still userl the road, and made ruts in fresh places. If the traction erigines ceased work for a few days, there would be some hope of repairing- the road in an effective man- t ner, but all attempts at the piesent rate would he useless.—The Mayor feelingly referred to the demise of Mrs. Jones, widow of the late Councillor John Jones, East field, who had for many years been a faithful and valuable member of the coim- nil. He proposed a vote of sympathy with the family in their bereavement. The vote was passed in silence, all the members standing. —Several applications for aid had ooop received by the Mayor, and it was decided to hand them over for considera- tion to t.h Patriotic Committee.—A com- ,munication was received from the Ministry of Health, vhidh favoured some drastic i changes, and it was resoled that the matter be considered by the Finance. Committee.-The subject of the salary of Mr. Owen, Food Control inspector, was brought on for discussion, and it was passed that he be paid "at the rate of 10s per week from the date of his appointment until December 31, 1917, and that the matter should be further considered later on.-A communication was received from Mr Evan Thomas, Bolahaul, who had been in the service of the council for 35 yeais, that he wished to resign, but he would be able and villing to work for the council again two or three days a week if required Several members expressed their sorrow that Mr. Thomas was resigning, as he had been a most faithful workman. It was decided to accept the resignation.—The Markets and Fairs Committee suggested that the weighbridge at the Mart. be repaired, and an estimate of the cost had bcv.i received from Pooley, viz.: JB15. Ald. Walter Dav;(' proposed fhat the work be piro- ooeded *'ith at once, as it was r>ost impor- tant. If they neglected it, the Board of Agriculture would demand its repair forth- with, as all animals at the mart must be sold by weight in future. Plenary powers weralO given th- committee to proceed with t'1e work —Coun. D F. Lloyd brought forward a new schedule of charges for the use of the Victoria Hall, which was adop- ted. It was decided that Mrs. Jones, the caretaker of the hall, should be paid Is. for each small fire in the committee and ante-rooms, and 2s. 6d. for each heating of the hall, fuel to be provided by the cleaner. —Coun. David Davies, as a membeT of the Vegetable Committee, mentioned that Mr. Hughes, Maestir Farm, had ploughed a part of the plot for the cultivation of a R cabbages, etc., for the Fleiet, and asked that the council allow the carter, horse, and c.art to harl some manure belonging to the council to the plot. Several people in the town had signified their willingness to give manure for the same purpose.—It was decided that the council grant two loads of manure, and a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Hughes, Maestir, for his kindness. The remainder of the land would be ploughed and harrowed by Messrs T. Dafvies, Pontfaen, and Lloyd Lewis, Talfan.

D. Owen and Mr. David Jonee, Fron, two of the contractors for the burial of paupers in the parishes of Lam- pater Urban and Pencarreg, gave notice to terminate their contracts on the ground that the payment allowed was inadequate. They offered to undertake the work for J32 5s. The guardians considered the offer reason- able, aind directed that fresh contracts should r be made with them.—The Master's report that Mrs. Macfie, Borthwick Hall, Heriot, Midlothian, had this year again sent Christ- mas cards and letters in English and Welsh [ to all the inmates, and a cheque for J63 5s. to purchase a reading desk for our Divine services, which will be made out of oak that grew in one of the gardens of the institu- tion.

Military Notes and Queries [By Our Military Expert.] S.F.—Pay of a Second Class Air Mecha- nic in the Royal Flying Corps is 2s. per day First Class, 4s. Inquirer.—If dependence existed on your son's pension, or gratuity in lieu, may be secured, although no allowance was issued for him while ne was alive. Apply, giving full particulars, Ministry of Pensions, 45, Grosvenor-road, London. Fact that you are in any pecuniary need is certainly no bar to your claim. Kindly accept my sincerest sympathy in your bereavement. Soldier'^ wife.—(1J Yes, a soldier's, wife must pay her local rates. If, however, she finds it difficult to do so she should make application to the local branch of the Na- tional Relief Fund. That body is authorised to make grants for the purpose. (2) Rent allowance may be obtained from Local War Pensions Committee for rent exceeding 4s. per week. Pensions.—Ordinarily, the highest pension for a disabled private soldier is £ 1 7s. 6d. per week. If, however, he is qualified for "service pension, that is added to the 91 7s. 6d. Allowances for children are also granted to disabled married men on top of their pensions. Hard Lines.—I regret to say the Army regulation is that where a soldier's depen- dent enters a State-aided, or rate-aided, in- stitution, Army separation allowance shall cease, only the soldier's allotment continuing to be issued for the personal use of the de- pendent concerned. Nearly Eighteen.—Application for exemp- tion must be made in the ordinary way to a Tribunal within 30 days of the lad attaining the age of Ii8. Health, as well as other grounds, can be made the basis of appeal. Officer's Mother.—I regret to inform you that no Army separation allowance is issu- able to the parents of commissioned officers, nor is there any-allowance securable by them from any other source. The Officers' Fami- lies' Fund, Berkely-square, London, W., may, however, make them a grant in case of hardship. T.E.—If you desire an up-to-date grading, you can apply now for a re-examination by your local National Service Medical Board. This must be accorded you. If dissatisfied with the result you can then, within five days, apply to your Appeal Tribunal for fur- ther re-examination by medical assessors. S.R.R.—I am glad to be able to relieve your mind of anxiety. You are absolutely clear of further military service, by virtue of having served overseas and having been discharged as no longer physically fit. Lamenting.—You are eligible for pension on account of your apprentice son. Pension not exceeding 15s. a week if you are wholly or partly incapable of self-support through infirmity or age. Apply at once, Secretary, Ministry of Pensions, 45, Grosvenor-road, London. Meanwhile, kindly accept my deepest sympathy in your bereavement. E.W.—As your son, a Territorial soldier. wac, killed while being compulsorily retained with the colours, the sum of JB15 (time-ex- pired man's bounty) would be due to his estate,, less, of course, whatever amount of it he might have drawn prior to his death. In the great loss you have sustained by the death of your son, kindly accept my sin- cerest sympathy.

LAMPETER. Although we have a Food Control Com- mittee, profiteering is still carried on in the town with impunity The prices of different commodities vary to a great ex- tent at different dhops, and we will give Same examples. Packets of cocoa with a printed price of 7jd. on them are sold at 91d. corned beef, Is. 6d. per ib. in some tshops, 2s. in others; baking powder, varies Id. or 2d. in the pound. The standard price of butter in the borough is 2s. 3d., but in so-called butter There is a grqat fieal of margarine. Marga,rine rangtes from Is 2d. to Is 4d. per lb., but why should customers, be charged 2s. 3d. per lb. for a blend of the two. We have no stan- dard price as yet for bacon, with the result that grocers charge as much as they like. There is a great difficulty in securing some things owing to scarcity we know, but that does not justify such high prices for othor goods The milk sold in many cases is not above suspicion, and the authorities should. see that. there is no adulteration. When one pays the price for certain articles of diet, care should be taken that no mean advantage is taken. The working classes, who do not receive much wages, should be protected from the Sliylocks who defraua them. The Rev. D. T. Alban inaugurated chil- dien's services at St. Peter's Church some time ago, which have been most successful, and they were resumed last Wednesday evening, when there was a good attend- ance. Some steps should be taken to liquidate the debt on the Victoria Hall, and a bazaar or something tangible should be held to wipe some of the debt away. Since the outbreak of the war, a large number of concerts, meetings, etc., have been held in it, but not a penny piece paid, as they were for patriotic purposes. That is very good, but surely something towards the upkeep, gas, and clearing of. the hall should be charged. It is possible to be too generous, and we trust something will be done to wipe away the debt, which means interest. The sooner the money on the hall is paid, it will be a boon to the .town, as all the profits will be given to- wards lessening the rates. The mart re- turns a handsome dividend for the outlay, and the Victoria Hall could be released to a great extent if something in the shape of "entertainments could be arranged to liquidate the hea.vy debt on it. On Sunday, special services i'n connec- tion with the war were held at the vari- ous churches in the parish, when the autho- rized prayers were used. The Revs. D. T. Alban and W. Ll. Footman officiated at St. P,eter's Church,, the Rev. D. T. Alban in the afternoon at St. Mary's Church, Maes- tire; Mr. J. Bartlett at St. John's Church, Pontrebach, and Mr. St. Lawrence Lewis tit the Church Hall. The Reiv. W. L1 Footman, headmaster of the College School, has been appointed to officiate at Silian and Llanwnen pend- ing the appointment of a successor to the Rev.^ W. J. E. Jones, who will be lea ving for St Mark's, Swansea, in, a few days. A mec-titit, of the borough tribunal was held on Friday evening, when the follow- ing cases were disposed of:—Frederick Mundy, baker, C3; three months exemp- tion. Bertie Muisdy, baker rind confec- tioner, three months. John Jones, Tany- hrvn, married, C2; three months. The mart on Tuesday was not so f nsk as usual, as there were only a few fat animals brought in, the price of same having been graded bv the Government. Cows and calves £22 to JB40 per couple; store cattle, J616 to £ 18 10s.; ewes and rams, J63 to :64 15s.; yearlings, JB2 to JM: calves, 50s. to 70s.
