Since my children have been going to school, I have suffered untold misery on account of their heads. Do what I may, I could not keep them clean. I have cried myself to sleep at nights with the annoyance, but now I use HAGON'S CLEANSER once a oveek-af ter their bath, and dip the brush in it when I dress their hair daily. There has been no more trouble, and their hair is glossy and strong." ø. My little girl has very fair hair, and was much troubled with nits, &c., but since using HAGON S CLEANSER I have never seen any sign of live stock, and her hair is lovely." GOLDEN HAIR. 0 I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER con- stantly for my girls, and they now have beautiful golden hair in such great abun- dacce that strangers stop in the street to A-nice them." SCRAGGY HAIR. I have three children—two girls and a boy. The boy has strong, healthy hair always, but the two girls' hair used to come out coombsfull at a time, and what they kept was scraggy and weak. I have used HAGON'S CLEANSER for six months now, and their hair is much longer, stronger, and brighter. I could hardly have hoped for such success." MOTHERS. have written the above in their letters to me. One says she would rather pay a sovereign a bottle than be compelled to do without HAGON'S CLEANSKR now.

THE GROWTH OF BARRY. BARRY, thirteen years ago, had a population of less than 600. According to the census recently taken for the purposes of the medical officer of health, it possesses a popu- lation of 30,386 souls. Compared with 1898, an increase is shown of 1,101, including 200 estimated increase in the floating population, which for years has been placed at 800, and is now raised to 1,000. By instituting a comparison between the tables usually com- piled of occupied and unoccupied dwellings, this advance in the number of population has tenanted 238 houses, while there are nearly 200 vacant houses more than there were in 1898. There are 250 more houses in the district this year than last, and it is satisfactory to note, in the face of this over- building, that whereas there were 298 buildings in course of erection in 1898, there are only 131 in course of construction at the present time. As to the location of the increase, they are confined to the West, North, and South Wards, and chief of these in the latter, where buildings in close proximity to the dock have been occupied by workmen who find employment there. In this ward there are 119 additional occu- pied houses. The completion or the new dock works has caused a depopulation in the East Ward to the extent of the occupants of 52 houses, estimated at 216 persons. In the West Ward the increase of population is put at 640, in the North Ward 633, and in the South Ward (which, of course, includes the Island) of 850 persons. It is peculiar to find, however, that hope is still strong in the future of the East Ward, where there are nine more houses in course of construc- tion than there were in 1898, the total at present being 32. In the West Ward the buildings in course of erection have dwindled down to 12 from 66 in the North Ward to 83 from 115 and in the South Ward to 10 from 94. The course of wild building speculation has, therefore, been arrested, and until another new industry is started here, it will probably cease altogether, except where justified to the fullest possible extent. To complete an interesting statistical return, it is declared that there are 70 buildings in the district used as churches, chapels, or halls. This year's increase of population shows a decrease over that in the year 1897-8 of nearly 1,000, and, indeed, is the smallest in the history of the district in its dock days. However, as it is becoming more settled in its character, there is cause for hearty congratulation.

LABOUR MATTERS AT BARRY. WHERE ARE THE TRADES' COUNCIL MEMBERS. The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the Barry Trades Council on Thursday evening was at- tended by about half-a-dozen representatives, and an agenda containing several questions of importance to the labouring classes of the dis- trict remained undiscussed on account of the small attendance. It is difficult to conceive why such an unpardonable state of apathy exists among the representatives of Trade Societies in the town, the meeting being un- worthy of all sections. Mr J. Hill, the vice- president, occupied the chair, and it was at once agreed to postpone consideration of a resolu- tion, of which notice bad been given by Mr Tom Evans, in favour of urging upon the District Council the necessity of increasing the number of its members from 18 (as proposed) to 27, and instructing the Labour members to support the project. Arrangements made by the Executive Committee for a lecture to be held on January 5th on the vexed question of Workmen's Dwellings were now formally rati- Sed, and the Regent Hall will be engaged for the occasion.

BARRY DEBATING SOCIETY. "GHOSTS: ARE THERE ANY.?" Monday evening's meeting was all that could be desired to make an enjoyable and profitable evening. There was a very good attendance, an excellent paper, and a lively discussion. Dr Percy Smith had chosen the uncanny subject of "Ghosts: Are there any?" and in a very exhaustive paper he traversed the history and progress of the theory of ghosts, and as a probable solution of many of the strange events which are on on record, thought trans- ference was quo tod. There were several "Spiritualists" present—one Mr Taylor, of Barry Dock, who, after quoting a very long list of prominent Spiritualists, said that the practical utility of Spiritualism was to teach the certainty of a future state. Speeches by Dr Irving, Messrs Morgan, Sawyer, Williams, Burgess, Biss, McCord, James, and W. Graham, followed, all of whom spoke in unqualified praise of the way the subject had been placed before them, and many did not believe in such things. The vote of thanks, moved by Dr Irving, and supported from the chair by Mr J. 0. Davies, was heartily carried, and the meeting terminated.—Next week Mr David Farr will open a discussion on Are Theatrical Amusements Detrimental to Religion and Morality."

BARRY FREE CHURCH COUNCIL. PROPOSED CO-OPERATION OF TEM- PERANCE SOCIETIES. Councillor E. B. Smith-Jones, the president, occupied the chair at a meeting of the Barry Free Church Council on Tuesday evening at the Bible Christian Chapel, when, among a large number of representatives present, were the following:- Revs J. Mydyr Evans and Ben Evans, hon. sees. Aaron Davies, D.D., W. Williams, W. D. Lee Cann, T. Pandy John, J. Lewis Jenkins, and L. Ton Evans Messrs J. 0 Davies, J. Cruise, S. R. Jones, W. J. Flowers, Miss Jones (Holton-road), Mrs Ben Evans, Misses M. E. Meredith and J. Meredith Messrs J. Hayes, D. Richards, Tom John, E. Moss, A. Hinton, E. J, Llewellyn, J. Dorme, J, Meikle, and W. M. Davies. SABBATH DESECRATION. It was stated by the secretary (Rev J. Mydyr Evans) that he was still awaiting the reception of the resolutions passed by the churches against the sale of Sunday newspapers before the deputation could wait upon Superintendent J. F. Giddings.- The Rev W. Williams asked whether anything had been done towards inviting the co-operation of churches in the Vale and towards Pontypridd in the movement to protest against the special facilities given by the Barry Railway Company for Sunday excursions ?-The Secretary replied that that matter was in abeyance until the matter of Sunday newspaper-selling had been first of all dealt with. REVIVAL OF WELSH CHURCHES. The Rev Ben Evans, the newly-appointed Welsh secretary, said he had convened a meeting of the representatives of the Welsh Churches, and it had been held at Jerusalem Chapel on the previeus Friday evening, under the presidency of the Rev R. Morgan. The only thing passed was to invite the co-operation of the whole of the affiliated Welsh Churches in holding a public meeting, and another meeting will be held to appoint speakers. There were seven Welsh Churches represented at the meeting, and they intended in future to make their influence felt.—The President said he con. sidered the Council had every reason to congratu- late itself, not only on the increased interest taken in its welfare by the Welsh Churches, but also on the appointment of the Rev Ben Evans as Welsh secretary. (Hear, hear.) PROPOSED FEDERATION OF TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES The Rev T. Pandy John submitted a recommen- dation from the Temperance Committee to the effect that the Council be respectfully asked to receive into their Temperance Committee repre- sentatives from each of the temperance societies in the district in the proportion of two representatives from each such society, to co-operate for the follow- ing obeject :-(I) To hold united temperance meetings fortnightly; (2), to disseminate temper- ance literature in the houses of the people (3), to use every legitimate means to oppose the grant- ing of new licenses, and also keep a watch over the license holders that they keep to the regulation, particularly in respect to supplying young children with drink. The rev gentleman, in sub- mitting the recommendations, said the idea of a temperance federation from the dis- trict ought to find considerable favour with those desirous of extending the movement.—Mr J. Cruise also supported the adoption of the recom- mendations, and the Rev Ben Evans moved that they be adopted. This was seconded by the Rev W. Williams.—The Rev J. Mydyr Evans and Mr S. R. Jones, while agreeing with the excellent idea of securing a united body for temperance purposes in the town, did not consider that the Council could take any such course as suggested, and thus take those who were not free churchmen or belonging to any church at all.-It was even- tually agreed, in the face of this conflict of opinion, to relegate the matter for consideration by the Executive Committee before being finally accepted. THE LICENSING CRUSADE. It was decided to grant dE2 towards the Tem- perance Committee to defray the cost of the oppo- sition to licensing applications at the last Brewster Sessions,

BARRY FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' COUNCIL. THE PROPOSED NEW HALL. The monthly meeting of the Barry Friendly Societies' Coun cil was held at the Glamorgan Restaurant, Thompson-street, Barry Dcck, on Wednesday evening, Mr T. Williams (president) in the chair.—A letter was read from Mr Evans, Cardiff, notifying December 8th as a suitable date for a meeting to be held in the Oddfellows' Hall, Cardiff, when an address will be delivered on "The Duties of Trustees. The committee formed for the purpose of consideriug the suggestion of the Friendly Societies' Council that a hall should be built, where the different societies could meet, was read. The report stated that the cost of the hall would be il 200, with an extra 9200 for furniture. To raise this sum it was proposed that the Council raise £ 800 on a mortgage from the friendly societies, and that the remaining S600 be provided by the formation of a com- pany, with a crpital of X600, in shares of £1 each. Mr W. E. Knapman, architect, Barry Dock, who has prepared plans of the proposed new building free of charge, attended and ex- plained the plans, the site of which, he said, was about the best which could be selected, namely, in Beryl-road, Barry D,)ok, near the Gas Works. The principal hall of the building would seat 200 persons, and there would be three committee-rooms, one having accommo- dation for 30 persons and two of 20 persons. The frontage of the building would be 56 feet, depth 100 feet, and the land could be taken on a 99 years' lease, at a ground rental of about 4s per. foot, It was difficult to estimate the revenue and expenditure of the venture, but the former could be made up of the rent of a shop, the amount of which would be about 5s per week, and the rents charged for letting the rooms to friendly and trade societies, dancing classes, &c., totalling up to about £ 93; and the expenditure would be about X70. Ultimately it was resolved that the report be printed and sent to the delegates of the different societies in the district and others, and that a prospectus be prepared for general circulation.—On the proposition of Mr J. Blainey, seconded by Mr Brooks, a hearty vote of thanks was extended to Mr J. Arthur Hughes and Mr W. E. Knap- man, who have given most valuable help to the Council in developing the scheme.—Mr Hughes and Mr Knapman responded.

BARRY GRAVING DOCK COMPANY. APPOINTMENT OF SECRETARY. The directors of the Barry Graving Dock and Engineering Company met on Tuesday morning last to consider the 144.applicatiolis received for the post of secretary to the company, rendered vacant by the dtath of Mr J. D. Wood. Mr W. Blackler, for several years assist- ant secretary of the Mount Stuart Dry Dock Co., Cardiff, was eventually seleoted,
