Yma y cynhaliwyd y gymanfa gerddorol eJeni. Daeth cantorion y Tabernacl, Siloh, Salem, Pen- yrheol, Capel Isaac, Sardn, a'r Capel Newydd ynghyd fei un gwr, ao arweiniwyd hwynt gan Dr. Roberts, F.R.C.O., o Ogledd Cymru, a gwnaeth ei ran yn rhagorol. Cadeiriwyd yn y boreu yn dde- heuig gan Mr. Jo'nn Evans, Brynblawd; yn y prydnawn gan Mr. David Davies, Giannant, Capel Isaac; ao yn yr hwyr gan y Parch. Stephen Thomas, y gweinidog.

Yn Neuadd Ddirwestoi Llangathen y cmnaliwyd y nodachfa hon. ac y mae clcd yn ddyledus i'n parcnus Ficer am ei lafur diflino gyda y mudiad o'r dechreu i'r diwedd. Yr oedd Rhelthor Ci far- gen wdi gweled er ys cryn dipyn fod angen ad- gyweirio a phrydferthu yr Eglwys anwyl hon, ond araf y symudid tua chyfeiriad y gweithio. Yn ffodus daeth y boneddwr caredig, Mr. D. W. Drum- mond., a'i deulu haelionus a gweithgar i breswylio i1 Hafodneddyn, a chafodd y Parch. J. Alex. WiI. liams help llaw, calon, a Hogell i fyned a'r antur- iaeth yn y blaen. Dydd Iau agotwyd y cyfarfod gan y Gwir Anrhydeddus Arglwyddes Dinefwr (yn afcsenoldeb Syr James W. Drummond. Rhydodyn, yr hwn luddiwyd i fod yn bresenol gan anhwyl- deb); gwnaeth y foneddiges o Drefnewydd ei gwaith yn rhagorol. Cafwyd ar ddeall ei bod hi1 yn ffrynn gwirioneddol i hen Eglwys e n tadau. a bydd hi a'i phriod caredig- yn noddwyr twymgalon i'r hen Fam. Yr ail ddydd trowyd yr allwedd yn y clo gan Miss Mansel, Maesteilo, teulu eto sydd a'u clod yn uchel yn hanes yr Eglwys, a bydd adeilad prydferth St. lean yn gofgolofn o'u calon agored hwy, ynghyd a'u eel a'u hae1ionufo"wydd at yr achos goreu. Mewn gavr daeth yr holl blwyf allan fel un l'aw. Gweithiai yr Ymneiilduwyr yn deilwng o broffeswyr crefydd y Gwr oedd yn myned oddiamgylch gan wneuthur daioni. Byddai y diaconiaid a'r aelodau yn gweithio a'u holl egni, ac wrth eu gweled teimlem mor hapus a phe byddem ar drothwy y mil-blynyddau. Yr holl enwadau yn gytun, Yn gweithio yn ddifrild, Er cael Cilfargen megys cynt Yn addurn i'r boll wlad. Son am Ddadgysylltlad a Dadwaddoliad!

HN EGLWYS Y CYMRY "DEMONSTRATION" FAWREDDOG 0 EGLWYSWYR CAERFYRDDIN A'R CYLCH. -SIOMEDIGAETH DDIRFAWR I ELYNION YR HgN FAM. Pan argreffid "Hanes Caerfyrddin' mewn amser i dd'od, bydd hanes am yr Arddangsofa, neu y "Demonstration. a gynhaliwyd yn nhref Caer- fyrddin ar y 5med o Fehefin, 1913, o Egiwyswyr Caerfyrddin a'r Cylch, er Protestio neu Wrth- wynebu yn crbyn y Mesur "Bach Cul" o Led- ratta eiddo Cyfrcithlawn Hen Eglwys y Cymry, yn amlwg Lawn yn y llyfr. Ni welwyd y fath dorf o Egiwyswyr yn nhref fach Caerfyrddin erioed o'r b aen. Mae y "Demonstration" yma wedi synu y byd a'r Bettws, ao y mae gelynion yr hen Fam wedi cael eu "paralyso." Dywedir yn fynych, pan fyddo "Demonstra- tion" fawreddog gan ryw blaid neu gilydd, fod yno wenilion cymdeithas yn bresennol. Yn yr Orymdaith dan sylw, gwelwvd yn bresenol Maer Caerfyrddin (Mr. J. B. Arthur); pedwar o Ynadon Heddwch tref Caerfyrddin, a rhai o'r Cynghorwyr Trefol; Major Dowdeswell, Llanstephan. Am y boneddigesau, gwelwyd yn bresennol Mr. Olive, Boar's Head Hotel; Mrs. Hcarder; Mrs. Parry, Coleg Hyfforddiadol Caerfyrddin; Mrs. Owen, Palas, Abergwili; Mrs. a Miss Dudley Drummond, Hafodneddyn; Mrs. Dr. Price a Mra. Dr. Parry; Miss Lewis a Misses Richards, Picton-terrace; Mrs. Crossman; Mrs. J. F. RéM, Heol Awst; MNI. Walter Lloyd, Heol Awst; Mrs. Richard Lloyd, Heol y Cei; Mrs. Walter Spurrel; Mrs. Lester; Mrs. Soppitt, Caerfyrddin; Mrs. Dowdeswell. Llan- stephan; Mrs. Finglah; Mrs. Holmes; etc.. etc. Fe wel gelynion yr Eglwyø wrth yr enwau uc1 nad dosbarth "Twm 'Barels" a'i g ic iselwael oedd yn y "Demonstration' dan syIw, ond urddasolion tref Caerfyrddin a'r Cylch. Nid wyf yn yegrifenu y Uinenau yma ar antur. am yr oeddwn yn bre- sennol yn yr Orvmdaith, ao nad-tleddwn yn malio ffyrling pe byddai Jacks y dref yn fy ngweled. Yr oedd yr Orymdaith yn ddwy fi ldir o hyd, er yn cerdded "four and five abreast," ac yn ca. ei blaenori gan "Band" enwog L'ansaint. Yn yr Orymdaith. y oedd yr enwog diguro Am- ddiffynydd, Esgob Ty Ddewi (Dr. John Owen), a Mr. Dudley Wi lLams-Drummond, Hafodneddyn, yr hwn oedd yn gadeirydd yn y cyfarfod cyhoeddus. Mae yr ysgrifenydd mygedol, y Parch. Evan Jones, fioer poblogaidd Llangain, yn haeddu gair o gan- moliaeth am ei lafur diflino yn nghylch yr Orym- daith yma. Gwir fod Ficeriaid Caerfyrddin a'r cy'ch wedi gwoithio yn galed o b'a'd vr Orym- daith dan sylw. ond 'hen ffeiradon' oeddynt. Druan o honynt! Nid personau ag eneidiau ydynt, ond "gwehelion cymdeithas I" Newyn'r hwynt, a gosodir hwy mewn rhyw "Workhouse"! Gresyn na fyddai mwy o elynion yr hen Fam yn gweied yr I Orymdaith dan Bylw. Gwir i mi weled ychydig, ac mi glywais fod rhai yn cuddio tu cefn i'r "blindq" yn y ffenestri. Sicr byddai o les i'w cylla FTtrTyd. cenfigenus, a maleisus. Cymry Cymru yn galw am Ddadgvssyiltiad a Dadwaddoliad yr Eglwp, yn wir! Lol botes ac anwiredd noeth yw'r haeriad yma. '0, beth am yr aelodau Rad:ca'aidd Cvmreig sydd yn y Senedd"? Ie. ao yn derbyn pedwar cant o bunnau yn flynyddol o logellau 'gweithwyr ein gwlad. Dylanwad y 'chapel scriw" yw hyn, a dim arall. 'Esgymundod" fyddai yn uniongyTohol pe voticnt yn erbyn y "gweinidog." Agorwyd y Cyfarfod drwy adrodd Credo yr Apostolion. a gweddiwvd gan y Parch. Griffith Thomas, ficer Eglwys Dewi Sant. Yna, oddi dan arweiniad Mr. Waiter Spurrel', canwyd can y dorf fawreddog yr emyn hwnw, "Fight the good fight," mewn modd, efallai, nas canwyd hi erioed o'r blaen vn Nghaerfvrddin. Yr oedd "meddwl' yn y canu hwn-y meddwl fod Egiwyswyr yn barod i wneyd aberth er mwyn diogclu yr Eglwys- rhag ei gelynion. Gofod a ball i mi roddi hyd yn oed braslun o'r Breitbiau brwdfrydig a glywyd gan y Cadeirydd. y Parch. R. H. Richards, a'r Esgob Owen o Ty Ddewi. Ar igynygiad Mr. J. B. Arthur, yn cael ei eilio gan Mr. T. Bland Davies, nasiwyd y dio!ch- iadau arferol, a diweddwyd y cyfarfod trwy ganu 'Dan Dy fendith wrth ymadael." Mae Caerfvrddin a'r Cy'ch wedi gwneyd yn rhagoro', ao yn barod eto i ateb yr alwad na bryd bynag y delo. Biin efallai oedd gweled rhai- o'r brodyr Ymneillduol yn tynu "gwynebau hir" wrth weled "maintioli yr orymdaith," ond llawer mwy blin oedd gweJed rhai Egiwyswyr yn absenol a ddy- lasai fod yn bresenol.

Gwe.nyddwyd gan y Paroh. Mr. Jones, y rheithor. Yr oedd y cynnebrwng yn gyn- wysedig yn benaf o'r perthynasau. Talwyd teyrn- ged i'w goffa drwy arwisgo ei fedd a blodau celf a natur.

SMALL HOLDINGS IN CARDIGANSHIRE THE PANNAU FARM INQUIRY. (By X. Of all the miserable forces enacted by the Cardi- ganshire County Council, the Pannau Farm case reported fully elsewhere in our columns easily takes the lead. The county lights more than met their match this day,—in fact, they nearly "went out." There are so many points in connection with this that it is impossible but to deal with them very brieBy indeed. The facts of the case are these. Mr. Lloyd Price, of Brynoothi, came into an ex- tensive property some twelve months ago, and for politioal reasons, he decided to sell it. Notices to quit were served upon all the tenants as is always the case when salea are taking place. The tenant of Pannau Farm thought that the price at which Mr. Lloyd Price offered the farm to him by private sale was too high. He went to the Sma. 1 Holdings Committee. Why did 'no go to them? He did not go to them with the object of paying more for the farm. Did he go because he thought it would be cheaper? Now, the notice to qu;t must have been serVed on the tenant before the 29th of September last. From that date up to some three or four weeks ago, Mr. Tom Parry, tho county land agent, did not know that the farm was to be sold, and it was what he said-a fact which is much to be regret- ted. Other people knew. Had he been aware of the fact, it ought at any rate to have prevented the expense of that inquiry and the attendent result as far as public opinion went concerning the Small Holdings Committee. Let me point out that the Smaa Holdings Sub- Comm.ttee interviewed the applicants in January last. Did not Mr. Davies, the tenant, inform the Committee then that he had been served wifn a notice to quit? Of course he did, or what reason could he give for being an applicant? Did he not say why he had been served with a nofce to quit? If not, what reason did he give for it? Now then, did not the Small Holdings Sub-Comm-ttee ac- quaint their Land Agent with the whole of the re- sult of that inquiry? If not, why should they withhold from him this most material point? The thing seems inexplicable. One certainly would not infer that Mr. Parry told an untruth at the inquiry when he said he was prepared to swear that he did not know two months ago that Pannau Farm was for sale. This grave blunder then certainly rests upon the sub- committee. Why did they not inform the Agent fully of the facts? Again, according to the clerk to the County Councii, Mr. Pr;cc told Mr. Parry in a letter dated February 27th that he intended putting up the farm for sale by auction, and that if the County Council seriously intended taking it, he had no objection. Was Mr. Parry loth to ao- cept Mr. Price's word when the latter said he was not aware the farm was to be sold Again observe who were delegated to "inspect" the farm in order to ascertain whether it was suit- able for smali holdings One was a chemist from New Quay. Of oourse, we cannot say what agri- cultural qualifications Mr. E. J. Davies may happen to possess, but one would certainly think that a practical farmer at any rate would have been better qualified for the purpose. Mr. Jenkin Davies knew something* about farming, and could guide his friend, but then, what need of sending two in that case Why did the two Davieses fence when Mr. Lioyd Price's stunner of a question dropped upon them like a bolt from the blue? Evidently they were not prepared for that, and had not viewed the scene through that window! It was rather amusing to hear Mr. Parry quoting the farms held by the Small Holdings Committee,—Cwmcynon, yes, Cwmcynon. One has not yet forgotten that report made by Mr. Parry to the committee when he said that "at the end of 50 years the tenants wiil have paid for 94 acres of land worth, at JB20 per acre, £ 1,880 together with the whole of the building worth say JE430, or a total value presented to tno county absolutely free of £ 2,310, while the tenants have been oompelled to contribute under the heading- of repairs and renowals another sum of JE560 during the 50 years." Well, oould the County Council Clerk toll Mr. Lloyd Price that they would look after the rate- payers of the county of Cardigan! Erwanfawr again, the farm wrenched from an old gentieman of 80,,—his old home. By this, though, he has found a safer and more peaceful home. It was a pity that Mr. Davies, Pannau, should lose his old home. Where did that worthy sentiment hide in the case of poor old Evan James, of Erwanfawr? Blaenpistyil again, the farm which the County Council is said to have bought in the open market. Perhaps wme member of the Small Holdings Com- mittee will kindly enlighten the ratepayers of Cardiganshire on these important matters in con- nection with Blaenpistyil Farm:- 1. What did the whole of Blaenpistyil cost? 2. The value of the portion or portions since sold? 3. The original rent of the whole farm under the previous landlord 4. Tho rent proposed to be raised by the County Council ? 5 and lastly.—The various costs charged in con- nection with the acquisition. It wou. d be a pity to deprive the ratepayers of this most interesting information, yes, information which SHOULD be made known to every ratepayer and proclaimed from house tops. A fine trio of easel indeed, quoted by the County Land Agent,—highly cred-tabie ones. Why did he also not quote the Pantteg Scheme in connection with which a loss of over £ 6 occuned in the first year, Cwmcoednerth and the vanishing applicant, and the "broken-hearted blackim.th, Breninlle and the shameful treatment of Mr. Daniel Ricnards, the applicant, when the committee over-rode the decision of the Board of Agriculture, and the numerous applicants who have given up all hopes of ever securing land, or the return of their hard- earned, foolishly-dumped "dibs.' It was also said at the inquiry at Gwenlli that the County Council would oomputsori, y acquire the Pannau Farm if they could see their way clear to let the farm AT A PROFIT TO THE COUNCIL!! Which is it to be then,—Profit to the Councillor benefit^ for the applicants, or neither? A question to the applicants again,—Do they seriously think that they will benefit by becoming tenants of the County Council? Another question to the ratepayers of the county of Cardigan before I lay the pen aside this once.— Do you think that the Small Holdings Committee are endeavouring to carry out the ideal principles of the Act, and do you think that the committee are well qualified to hold the l'eiIl

CARMARTHENSHIRE LICENCES The Carmarthenshire Licensing Compensation Authority &it at the Shire Hali, Carmarthen, on Friday last, Mr. Dudley Williams Drummond, Haf- odneddyn. presiding, to consider the licenses of eleven publio houses which had been referred to them. It was reported that the six public houses referred to the committee from Llanelly were all s-tuated in the seaside district, viz., Ship and Pilot Inn, Maripe-street (owners Buckley's Brewery, Ltd, and licensee Sidney Arthur Stitson); Friend's Inn, Marine-street (owners Buckley's Ltd., and licensee Benj. Rees); Lord Nelson Inn, Bryn ter- race vowners Buckley's Ltd. and licensee Mary Morris); Britannia Inn, Bryn terrace (owners Buckley's Ltd., and Mr. C. W. Mansel Lewis, and licensee Thos. Francis); Steam Packet, New Dock. street (owners Buckley's Ltd. and Mrs. Chambers Hampstead, London, and licensee C. Shott-; Bird- in-Hand, New Dock-street (owners Buokley's Ltd., and Mr. Mansel Lewis, and licensee Gr<$orge Davies) and Royal Queen, New Dock-street (owners Buck- W's Ltd., and Joshua Rees, and licensee Grace Jenkins). Mr. Viiliers Meager (instructed by Mr. W. W. Brodie) appeared for the Llanelly justices; Mr. J. Lewis Phillips appeared for the Llanelly Free Church Council, and the temperance party; Mr. Martin R. Richards and Mr. D. Jennings for the owners, and Mr W. Davies for certain licensees. The Chairman aeked why had ttic justices dea't with the seaside district in particular and not greater in Llanelly. Mr. Lewis Phillips yrd the suggestion came from the Free Church Council and the temperance narty. The idea was to take the congested areas in turn. Next year they would come before the committee with another congested area. Mr. Martin R. Richards said that if the justices of Llanelly were going to deai with the whole town at the rate they had dealt with the seaside district, the re-t of the county werp not going to have anything out of the compensation fund for many years. The magistrates were taking too many public houses from one particular spot. Llanelly was increasing very rapirPv. The population had increased from 13.COO :n 1871 to 33.000 ir. 1911, but during the last fifty years there had been no in- crease in public houses, but several had been taken away or discontinued. After hearing evidence the committee decided to renew the licence of the friend's Inn only. The Chairm.-m intimated that the question of fixing com pensation in respect to the other five houses would be deferred for five weèks, so as to get a report on the valuation.

The young man Gough, who was recently arrested in Llanelly hy tho celebrated Detective "Barney Flood of the New York Police on a charge of misappropriating money entrusted to him by his employers, is described in the newspapers as a native of Kidwelly. This is a most inoorrect de- scrphon. The only connection the young man had with Kidwelly was an occasional visit paid to his parents, who came to reside here from Ferryside about four years ago. His native place is said to be Bristol. An unusual spectacle was witnessed in Lady-st., when the contents of a tar-spraying machine be- came ignited, and burst into flames. Tho horse attached to tho machine maddened with pain and fright made off, and had covered a good distance before it was brought to a standstill, by the owners, Mr. E. Williams, Alstred-street. The residents of Lady-street wero great y alarmed, and it was feared that somo of the business prem:8es would become involved. Happily their fears were not realised, although the exterior of the drapery establishment of Mr. Jno. Morgan (Pontlottyn) suffered a good deal of damage. The pulpit at tho Parish Churoh was occupied on Sunday last by the Rev. dames Williams, curate of Llaiuteble, wno preached very acceptably. Tho spectal prea-eher at Liandobio was tho Rev. Gruffydd Lvans, H.D., vicar ot Kidwelly, who also addressed an important meeting of men on Sunday afternoon. The Tennis Club has commenced activities fur the season, and a good deal of attention is being given to the ground, which is situated near the West End. Membership, which last year was confined to a select few, has been thrown open to the public, who are admitted at tho following fees: Gentlemen, 10s.; ladies, 7s. bd.

Mr. Gavin Thomas, who made u. capital chairman, called on Air. William Gravell to make the presentation. Tho little ceremony was graco- tully. performed, and was accompanied by a few happily chosen words, vvhi-h evoked loud applause. Mr. Jones, in responding, expressed his full sense of the honour they had done him that evening. He had .been accorded by the men at the works their heartiest support and co-operation, which he trusted would be extended to his successor. Though he wad severing his connection with them he would avail himself of every opportunity which came in his way to assist them an tho future (cheers).—Mr. David Howellsj, tmhouse superintendent, was glad the men had honoured his friend in the manner they had done. Mr. Jones.' thanks to the loyalty of tho workmen had been a thorough success. Ha was glad to bo able to pay a tribute to the employees at the Tinplato Works; whom he considered were com- posed of the best class of men in the trade- Thero were no agitators among them. The way in which they had locally" tided over tho industrial depression of 1908 was in no small measure due to the zeal and energy of their guest, whom he hoped would have a bright and prosperous future (applause.).—Mr. Joseph Davies, who has sidccooded Mr. Jones as superintendent of tho mills, said that they were doing honour whore honour was due, and wished Mr. Jones every success in his new and important sphere (applause).—Mr. S.

He would .be delighted to find him on the topmost rung of the industrial ladder (applause). —Mr. David Williams, Dafen, a former superin- tendent of tho cold rolls, added his meed of praise to one who was well deserving of all that had been said. Ho was a thoroughly capable official, and would do well in his new and arduous position (applause).—Mr. David Rowlands (ex-mayor of Kid welly) regrettod the loss of such a good official as Mr. Jones. He was besides a kind neighbour, who was ever ready to do any one a good turn (applause'. —Laudatory, poetical compositions by the Rev. J.

A LUCKY APPRENTICE Apprentices of Messrs., Lipton, Ltd., spend their penod of M'rvicc under something approaching ideal circumstances. LNiot only are they given & fair weoKiy wage while they are acquiring knowledge of their trade, but, since the adoption of a scheme by the directors several year", ago, each one is presented with a cheque for a substantial sum of money when ho becomes tune-expired." There is thus every enoouragement for apprentices to take a deep interect in the business in which they are instructed, so that they may become thoroughly efficient members of the staff. With a view of celebrating the termination of the apprenticeship of Ernest Roles, of the Maidenhead branch, the manager, Mr. S. Green, entertained the members of the staff and friends to tea at Messrs. Spindler s, High street, on Thursday evening- Th#>rt» P™ Mr- W- M. Smeilio, cS, Jcto, Lonaon, who reprcsonted the directors. A aubstan- tial repast was admirably served. There was a happier sequence to the termination of the apprenticeship than the actual social gathering, so far as the apprentice himself was concerned. It waa tho presentation to iiim, not only of his signed and sealed indentures, which he can always produce to prove that he has spent a proper apprentices hip, but he was handed a cheque for JE50 as a bonus and reward for diligence and zeal during his four years appronticoahip. Mr. W. M. Smellie, on behalf of the directors, presented Mr. Roles with the first credentials, and then said he had much pleasure in handiHg him a cheque for £ 50, whifch he advised should be put into the bank and used wisely. He added, "1 think it would be well if you gave .it to your mother for investment (applause). He felt sure that Mr. Roles would look back upon the years spent with Mr. Green, the manager of the Maidenhead branch, as some of the best years of his life (hear, hear). He expressed the hope that the Company would shortly be able to offer Mr. Roles a better position than that which he held at present. It was only by hard work that he would advance, but if he fol- lowed the example of Mr. Green, ho would not go astray. Ho added, I hope you will progress well in future years. All I can do now is to wish vou success. At this juncture a telegram was handed to Mr. Smellie, who announced that it had been sent by Mr. John Cansficld, tho general manager at the headquarters in London, and that the message was as follows: "Please express to Roles our apprecia- tion of his services. I hope ho will have good health and long service with us'' (applause). Mr. Green thanked Mr. Smellie for his lanndess in visiting them that day.. He remarked that apprenticeship days years ago were not so good as they were nowadays. Mr. Roles had worked well throughout his apprenticeship, and ho had done all that was required of him. Mr. Bullock, a member of the staff, proposed a voto of thanks to Mr. Green for inviting them to tea, a kindness which all appreciated, because it enabled them to join in the firm's good wishes for young Mr. Roles' future success. Mr. Green assured the company that it was a pleasure for him to have arranged that happy function. He anticipated another such pleasure- able meeting, as there was another apprentice who would soon be time-expired. go

CELLAN. TREAT.—At the Church Schoolroom of the above place recently a very pleasant afternoon was spent through the generosity of the Rev. and Mr-s. W. E. Jones. A splendid tea was given to all the day school children, Church members, and many friends beside?. After doing justice to all good things, the children then adjourned to a field and thoroughly enjoyed themselves with games, races, eto. A vote of thanks was then proposed by Mr. H. Roberts, schoolmaster, to Mr. and Mrs. Jones for their kindness. which was carried with hearty cheers by the children. In the evening a presenta- tion was made by the Church members to the Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Jones on their departure from Cellan to Builth. Mr. James Jones, churchwarden* proposed the Rector of Brechfa to the chair. Among others that spoke were Mr. E. J. Davies, Pentrofeli n Stores; Mr. J. Jones, churchwarden; Mr. Harries, and Mr. D. Crawford Jones, of St. David's College, all of whom regretted the depar- ture of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Jones had done very good work during his seven years' stay in the parish, havinior restored the Church and increased the membership by a goodly number. They all hoped that he and his family would be very happY in their new home. Mr. James Jones then pre- sented Mr. Jones with a purse of gold, and Mrs. Davies, Brooklands, presented Mrs. Jones with » handbag. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jones suitably responded. Many thanks are due to the energetic collectors—Miss Jones Brooklands. and Mis" Jones. Pontfaen. A vote of thanks to the Chair- man brought a pleasant evening to a close
