"THE JOURNAL" CLNTENARY SPECIAL ISSUE ON MARCH 11TH. To-morrow (Saturday) the JOURNAL will be a FAIRO- dred years old. To mark the event we shall issue on Friday next, March 11th, a SPECIAL TWELVE- PAGE DUMBER, containing articles dealing with the progress and history of the locality during the past century, etc. Among those who will con- tribute are Mr. T. W. BARKER. who will draw upon the diary of his great grandfather (who was a former vicar of St. Peter's), and other sources, for some valuable material bearing upon the history of the Parish; Air. DAVID DAVIES, Editor of the "South Wales Daily Post," one of the most brilliant writers and journalists in the country; the Rev. GEO. EYRE EVANS, Aberystwyth, secretary of the Carmarthen Antiquarian Society, whose knowledge of the by-gone days of the JorBSAL and of the county generally is unique-; the Rev. EILBJ EVANS, our foremost living Welsh literateur. whc,il- i deal with the subject of the Church in Wales d||fing the eighteenth century; Air. G. A. HRTCHLNS, a former proprietor of the JOURNAL, who will have much to say of interest about Carmarthen a quarter of a century ago; Mr. R. At. THOMAS, who was for many years the able and esteemed Town Clerk of Carmar- then, and whose delightful literary style, as demon- strated in his charming novel, "Trewern," is still fresh in the memory of our readers; the Rev. GRIFFITH THOMAS, a well-known and able fighter on Church Defence platforms: Air. W. J. WATERfiOTSE. B.A., B.Sc., who will write on "Landmarks in Ele- mentary Education," and whose brilliant pen is well-known to readers of the "Guardian" and other important Church periodicals; together with a couple of articles by the EDITOR, one dealing with tlat-. history of Freemasonry in v armarthen as far back., as 1724. and giving the names and doings of well- known old people, of the town, and another upon the Lancasterian School movement, etc. There will also be re-produced a number of interesting phono- graphs of well-known people, old buildings, etc.. together with other features, which will make this number unique in the history of the weekly press of Wales. The Editor cordially invites the readers of the. JOURNAL to send him for publication in that issue,, under their signatures, brief communications deal- ing either with the connection of this paper and. with the history of the locality, with their own re- collections of interesting local events, or any other matters which might go to form a chatty and inter- esting symposium suitable to the occasion. Many of our readers' must have a great store of intere.sting anecdotes and reminiscences which might very happily be made public just now. and which the Editor will be very pleased to accept. The most careful inquiries have so far failed to. discover a copy of tho first number of the CARMAR- THKN JOURNAL, although complete bound files from, 1810 were known to have been preserved up to a few years ago. If, at this late hour, any reader should find trace of the. earliest issue, the Editor will feel. glad to hear of it at the earliest possible moment. Orders for extra, copies of the Centenary Issue and. for Advertisements to appear in it should be sent immediately. As advertisements in this number will be preserved for a very long time, the spaces will; be of the utmost value to advertisers. The price will be as usual—One Penny.
