TEA PARTY. On Thursday last, the children who sang in the successful choir at the recent musical festival in the town hall, were entertained to tea, by their conductor Mr. Jones, the relieving officer, at the Tabernacle. After tea, an en- joyable evening was spent in various games. BAPTIST CHAPEL. Our numerous readers will learn with regret that the Rev. Isaac James, the minister of the above chapel, was owing to illness unable to tecupy his pulpit last Sunday. We understand ihat this is the first time for over a period of 25 years that Mr. JameR has failed to occupy his pulpit on a Sunday. We learn on enquiry that he is making satisfactory progress. YOUNG PEOPLES MUTUAL J IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY. The usual weekly meeting of the above society was held on Friday last, at the English cause school room. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the chairman, Dr. T. O. Jones, the chair was taken by Mr. Henry Roberts. The subject for the night was a lecture by Coun- cillor T. J.

. DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL.
DENBIGHSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Denbighshire County Council is being held at Ruthin to day (Friday), the principal business being the election of chairman, vice-chairman and committees. There is also on the agenda a letter from the Home Secretary on the subject ot the amended bye law, as to light on vehicles, made at the last meeting of the Council, and a communication I was con- sidered from the Asylum Committee res- pecting lighting works for the Institution, Mr. Lumley occupied the chair during the preliminary proceedings. Mr. Walter Pen Dennis proposed that Mr. Lumley be appointed chairman of the Council for the ensuing year, and in doing go referred to the excellent services rendered to the County by Mr. Lumley. Mr. J. Roberts (Plas Heaton), seconded, and the motion was unanimously agreed to Mr. Lumley briefly returning thanks. Capt. Griffith-Boscawen proposed the election of Mr. Simon Jones as vice-chair- man, contending that in-as-much as the chairman was from West Denbigh, the vice- chairman should be a member from the other portion of the county. Mr. Simon Jones declined to be re-elect ed, and Mr. W. G. Dodd then proposed Mr. E. Hooson. Hr. A t0 Evans seconded, and there being ipo amendment to the motion, it wtis unan imously carried. The Council then proceeded t o appoint I the various Corgngittees for the ensuing year. M*. 0.

Hooson, John Roberts, Walter Pen Dennis, A. O. Evans, Christmas Jones, Gomer Roberts, William Griffith, O. Isgoed Jones, and J. T. Millward. THE LIGHTING OF AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES. A letter was read from the Home Secretary with reference to the alteration made at the last Council meeting, in the bye-law appertain- ing to the lighting of agricultural vehicles, in which it was stated that representations had been made to him that such alterations would cause inconvenience and danger to the public. After a brief but lively discussion, the Coun. cil, by a majority of 28 to 17, confirmed the resolution which they had already passed in favour oi the exemption of agricultural carts. THE LIGHTING OF THE ASYLUM. On the motion of Mr. A. O. Evans, seconded by Mr. Pen Dennis, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to:—' That this Coun- cil, having considered the recommendation of J the Asylum Committee in favour of the instal- ment of electric light at the North, Wales I Counties Lunatic Asylum, approve of this re- commendation, and agree to pay their proper quota of such expense.' Replying to Mr. Gomer Roberts, the Chair- man said the estimated quota of Denbighshire would be about £ 1,000. Mr. Howel Gee gave notice of the following motion :—* Having regard to the fact that the Council discussed the matter referring to the sewage of the Asylum, without having cog- nizance of a most important letter referring thereto received by the Asylum Committee, and forwarded by them to this Council, that this Council rescind the resolution then arrived at.'

Robert Davies, Tai Newydd, Pontyddoli Llannefydd, was fined 2s. 6d., and 9s. 6d. costs for removing pigs from the parish of Llannefydd without the necessary order, on the 10th of February. Evan Davies, Tynyffordd bach, Cefn Meir- iadog, was fined a similar amount, with 8s. costs for a like offence, committed on the 11th of February. In both cases, igno- rance of the fact that Llannefydd was an infected area was pleaded, and that no notices were posted in the parish, and the chairman suggested to the police that the notices be more generally made known. THE DRUNKS. Hugh Williams, Rhydyfoel, was fined 2s. 6d., and 8s. 6d. costs for being drunk and disorderly on the 4th of February. Thomas Davies, Tynyddol, Bettws, was fined 5s., and 8s. 6d. costs for being drunk in Bettws, on the 11th of February. A DANGEROUS RESTING PLACE. Edward Hughes, Vron Goch, Llanfair Talhaiarn, was charged by P.C. Roberts, with being drunk at that place on the 11th of February. Defendant pleaded not guilty. The Constable said that he saw the de-, fendant lying on his back in the middle of the road, quite drunk. He assisted the man home. Defendant denied that he was lying in the middle ot the road, but admitted having had some drink. He was lying on the hedge side. Fined 3s. ar d 9s. 6d. costs. DRIVING WITHOUT LIGHTS. David Williams. Bryn Morfydd, Llysfaen, was fined Is. 6d., and 8s. 6d. costs, for driving a cart without a light through the village of Bettws, after the prescribed time on the 16th February. Defendant caused much amusement by describing how the high wind, and gales, and the rain, had dashed his lamp to the ground, utterly demolishing it.
FLINT.
FLINT. THE EDUCATION QUESTION. This question is still occupying the minds of themajority of the inhabitants of thetown, almost to the exclusion of every other. With reference to the 'Comments' publish- ed in our last issue, we have received a letter from the Rev. T. Jones-Roberts, curate of Flint, taking exception to the following sentence therein :—" A similar appeal was made at the Welsh Church by one of the curates (Rev. T. Jones-Roberts)." The reverend gentleman states that he did not preach in the Welsh Church on the Sunday in question. The statement objected to was only given as a rumour, and it was evidently a mistake ;*aad we most unhesitatingly with- draw it, and accept Mr. Jones-Roberts' statement. The Flint meeting has been mentioned in Parliament. On Tuesday, Mr. Samuel Smith asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been drawn to the disturbances which took place at a meeting at Flint last Monday evening, called to protest against the conduct of the rector in refusing to the parents of children attending school their exemption from attendance when the creed and Catechism of the Church of England were being taught; whether he is aware that this meeting was practically broken up iby the conduct of persons who thus attended, and that the police who were present declined to render assistance in the preservation of order; whether after the meeting the crowd follow- ed the speakers who had attended the meeting, threw stones at them, and struck the chairman and whether the Govern- ment will isfee the secessary steps for pre- serving peace. Mr. Jesse Collings:-The Secretary of State has had before him a report of the meeting referred to, and it does not appear to him that the police in any way fell short of their d ity, as, in his opinion, it is no part of their duty to secure a hearing for speakers at meetings of this kind, or to pre- vent interruption. It appears that one of the speakers on his way home after the meeting, was struck with a stone. The police are making every endeavour to ascertain who threw it. Such an occurrence obviously affords no sufficient ground for intervention on the part df the Hofne Office. The following letter has been received from Mr JSamuel Smith, M.P., by a correspondent: Dear Sir,- I am astonished at the account you send of the outrageous pro- ceedings at your meeting on Monday. It seems a veritable reign of terror prevails in Flint. Nothing more clearly shows the utterly unsound system of education we have and the urgent necessity of providing board schools everywhere. Fortunately, the ques- tion comes before the Itouse on Tuesday, on a motion of Mr. Lloyd-George, when we shall have a fine opportunity of denouncing the state of things, and no doubt the House will be told what happened at Flint. I believe great good will become of the experience. Nonconformist parents will take courage to insist upon their rights, and the only party that will suffer is the clerical party in the Church of England. Take courage, and stand for your rights.—Yours faithfully, Samuel Smith." The Rector, who uses his pulpit as his platform to air all {kinds of subjects, alluding on Sunday, Ithe 26th ult., to the fact that Nonconformist children were charged fees for tuition, although the schools are nomin- ally free schools, said that, during the whole of the year 1898, the total amount paid to the school by Nonconformists was 2s. 8d. (we are quoting the above from the Rector's sermon in the Flintshire Observer). Surely | this must be a printer's error, and that the pounds have been accidentally omitted—as we know of one parent alone who has paid more than thrice that amount in the Pentre School; and he is not, by any means, the only Nonconformist parent who has to pay school fees. Then what about books ? The Rector states, that if a parent wrote to the Rectory, he would be given an order to the schoolmaster to supply the child with everything. Did the Rector know when he made this statement, that one parent had recently received a letter from the master of the Flint School, stating that what books were supplied free were paid for out of his (the schoolmaster's) own pocket, and that he did not consider that parent's child an object of charity ? It cannot be too clearly stated that "Free Education "means no charge for fees, books, slates, or any other school requisites. The Rector statesthatall the standards up to the fourth are "free" Why, then, have the children of these standards been compelled to buy their own books, &e. Notwithstand- ing the arrangements made by the Managers of the Flint Schools, every parent has a right to demand free Education for his children in all standards: and if he will only write a letter to the Education Department, they will immediately see that he gets it. It has been stated that the Flint Schools are the only schools in the Holywell Union where the Guardians are asked to pay for the bocks and fees of pauper children is this a fact 7 If so, we think it is the duty of the Guardians to enquire into the matter.

RHYL. FARM FIRE. Between four and five on Wednesday morn- ing, information was received of a fire in the stock yard of Foryd Bach. The fire bell was at once rung, and the brigade, under Captain Parry, quickly turned out. The Rhuddlan Fire Brigade, under Captain Conway Bell, ar- rived on the scene of the conflagration a few minutes later. Five stacks were found to be on fire, and evidently they had been burning for some time, and were quite beyond being saved. The fire brigades confined their exer- tions to the prevention of the spread of the flames. DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. At a meeting of the local committee of the agricultural 3how to be held in Rhyl in August next, held at the Alexandra Hotel, Rhyl, on Tuesday, Mr. J. H. Ellis, J.P., chairman of the Urban District Council, was elected chairman of the committee, and Mr. Frank Bibby, vice- chairman. Collectors were appointed for the several localities in the district to secure sub- scriptions for the local fund; and a strong local committee was formed. The executive com- mittee will be appointed at the next meeting, which will be held next Tuesday week. The president of the society (Captain Conwy) inti- mated that he would give £ 15 to be disposed of as the committee thought best in prizes in local classes; and Mr. Thomas Smith promised £ 5; Mr. Joseph Williams, £1. The Secretary also reported that two special prizes had been pro- mised by Messrs. Day and Son, Crewe, and Mr. Little, Doncaster.

. TOWN COUNCIL.
I; .^er: There is one by the Park Place, ^aoiic house too, Mr. T. J. Roberta And one by the Anchor, and may I ask, can you find a spot which is not opposite a public house (laughter). Mr. John Roberts protested against the re- marks which were made by Mr Edward Roberts, and asked him to withdraw. Mr. Edward Roberts said he would not. Mr. John Roberts remarked that Mr. Edw. Robeits had said that the dead set was being made against strangers who came into the town. Persiiually he had no interest whatever ia the matter. He taoughu the putting up of these advertisements on lamp posts was an in- novation, which would not be tolerated. Mr. Rouw said he quite agreed with what Mr. John Roberts had said, and thought that the remarks made hy Mr. Edward Roberts were very unfair. He considered this a very hard precedent, and for an Alderman to come to the Council and say such a thing, simply because he was an Alderman, was a shame, and Mr. Edward Roberts should withdraw the state- ment which he had made. Mr. Byford said it appeared to him that there was some sort of under hand current against strangers who came to Ruthin. The Council should do everything possible to encourage strangers, and not boycott them as soon as they came into the town. Mr. Tickle would no doubt remove the sign-board near the Castle Hotel if be was asked to do so. Mr. R. P. Davies thought that Mr. Tegid Owen was the one to complain against the sign. board in question. Mr. Tegid Owen I don't see that this par- ticular sign-board should be removed, more than the one near the Anchor, for instance. Mr. Rouw suggested that the sum ot 2s. 6d. annually be charged for each sign board. Mr. Byford: I thought Mr. Councillor Rouw, that you objected to the placing of boards on lamp-posts altogether ? Mr. Rouw: I do object entirely, but this is my business. Mr. R. P. Davies proposed that a shilling for each board be charged, Mr. E. T. Hughes proposed 2s. Mr. John Roberts And payable in advance. The Mayor suggested 5s. a year for the three boards. Mr. Rouw For each. Mr. Joseph Davies seconded the Mayor's pro- posal. Six voted in favour of the 5s. for the whole of the boards, and three against, and the Mayor's proposal was carried. THE DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION. The Mayor said he had received a letter applying for the use of the Assembly rooms on the 24th inst, in connection with the Jumble Sale, to be held for the benefit of the Nursing Association. Mr. Edward Roberts proposed that it be granted free of charge, and the same was agreed to.
