Colwyn. OBITUARY.—At the early age of 21 years, and after suffering a prolonged and painful illness, Miss Mary (Maimie) Jones), eldest daughter of Mrs S. Jones, of Elwy Villa, Sef- ton-road, passed away on Saturday week. The deceased was latterly an assistant mistress at the Old Colwyn Schools, and a future full of excellent promise appeared to have been des- tined for her, as she was uncommonly popular with her pupils, and very able as a teacher; in fact, she reflected most creditably upon the tutorship of the Lady Principal of Howell's School, Denbigh, who might be regarded as her chief teacher. The funeral took place at the Old Colwyn Cemetery on Wednesday, the Revs John Griffiths (vicar) and Ll. A. Roberts (curate) oiffciating. Amongst those who ac- companied the relatives was Miss Beloe, the Lady Principal at Howell's School. During the service the deceased's favourite hymn, "On the Resurrection Morning," was sympathetic- ally sung by the surpliced choir attached to the parish church. The large number of beautiful wreaths sent testified to the de- ceased^ popularity. The family desire to ac- knowledge grate-fnlly the many kindnesses ex- perienced by them in their bereavement. ENGLISH WESLEYAN CHAPEL. On Wednesday evening a tea and entertainment were held in the local English Wesleyan Chapel. There was a large number present, and full justice was done to the appetising edibles sup- plied. This was a gentlemen's effort, the follow- ing helping at the tables :-Messrs Murray, O. Jones, Ellis, Hughes, J. H. Peers, H. E. Williams, Nixon Packer, 0 Savage, Orme, F. Savage, W. T. Williams, Higginbottom, Hurst, Jones, J. E. Peers, E. Jones, and J. Evans. Notification had been received from the chairman, conductor, and accompanist that they could not attend. Mr Higginbottom undertook the first two, and Mr R. W. Williams acted as accompanist. The fol- lowing programme was given :—Song, D. Ll. Davies, of Colwyn Bay cornet duet, Messrs Jones and Williams Welsh song, D. Ll. Davies song, Edward Davies (tenor); song, Excelsior Male Voice Choir (encored); instrumental quar- tette, Old Colwyn Silver Baud imitations, Mr Hurst, entitled Musical Party duet in Welsh, Messrs Edwards and Davies; Old folks at Home," Male Voice Choir; quartette, Old Colwyn Silver Band Welsh song, Edward Davies. During the interval Mr Higginbottom, in a short speech, congratulated the Men's Bible Class on their success. Quartette, Male Voice Choir; cornet duet, Messrs Jones and Williams I. Pull for the Northern Shore," Male Voice Choir. The Rev Jas. Rhodes proposed a vote of thanks to the gentlemen taking part in the concert, and this was seconded by Mr Rhodes. The concert closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

Conway. MISSION WORK.—A mission meeting was held at Zion Congregational Church on Tues- day evening, when an instructive address was given by the Rev Bowen Rees, a missionary with some years' experience of the work car- ried on in Matabeleland. TEMPERANCE.—Under the auspices of the Arfon and Conway Valley "Cymanfa," a tem- perance meeting was conducted at Carmel C.M. Church on Monday evening, when the Revs Flllis Jones (Bangor) and Rowland Rowlands delivered addresses to a fairly large audience. SOCIAL.—A most successful coffee supper and entertainment was held at the Gyffin C.M. Church on Wednesday evening. The repast was faultlessly served by a band of lady mem- bers connected with the church, and'the long and varied programme subsequently sustained was carried out without a hitch. STOLEN BOOTS.—George Jackson, the tramp to whose theft of boots from Messrs Stead and Simpson's shop on Monday week we referred in our last issue, was sent to prison for a month by Mr Owen Rowland and Mr W. F. Jones, at a special court held on Tuesday. Supt. Rees informed their worships that he had been unable to trace any previous convic- tion for a criminal offence against the pri- soner, but he had been frequently imprisoned for drunkenness. Particulars relating to his past had been very difficult to get, becahse George was so firm a believer in the adoption of aliases, and in the wisdom of the old saw that "Silence is golden." MR TURTON SMITH'S NEW HOME.—His numerous friends at Conway will be interested to learn that Mr Turton Smith, for years the organist at the Parish Church, has just taken up his new position as organist and choir- master a.t St. Luke's Church, Cork. On his departure from Pembroke, he was presented with two handsome illuminated addresses, one from the inhabitants of Pembroke, and the other from the Choral Society connected with the church to which he had been attached, as well as a silver tobacco box, suitably inscribed, and a travelling clock from the bellringers and choirmen. "Turton," as he was familiar- ly known here, has already flung himself with characteristic energy into the musical life of Cork, no less than two public choral societies being now under his supervision. CALLING FOR MORE.—So well satisfied were the public with the Choral Society's in- terpretation of "The Messiah," last week, that, like Oliver Twist, they are now clamouring for more. There seems to be a considerable demand for a repetition on Good Friday. Un- fortunately, however, that day would be un- suitable, because the eisteddfod at Llandudno Junction would be a counter-attraction, and, as that function is in aid of a good object, to interfere with its success in any way would be undesirable. Under the circumstances, the Society's executive will be well advised to ar- range matters otherwise, but it would be well to have the proceedings carried out soon, a6 the summer will soon be with us, and the choristers should not be allowed so prolonged a rest as to necessitate much fresh practising. In passing, we omitted to state in our report POLICE DUTIES—The police in this division naturally resent the insinuation made by an advocate at Monday's brewster sessions. It was hinted that the officers are plone to overlook their duties in cases where intoxicated persons entered licensed premises. Supt Rees promptly chal- lenged the citation of a specific instance, but Mr Hindley, the advocate in question, replied that he made the charge generally rather than specific- ally. To further protect themselves, the police call oar attention to the fact that no less than fourteen people had, on their information, been convicted during the last twelve months for being drunk on licensed premises.

Dolwyddelen. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTION. —An election takeR place to-morrow (Saturday) for the vacancy created by the removal of Mr,D. J. Davies, one of the parish representatives !on the Geirionydd Rural District Council, from the district, and the candidates who seek election are Owen Evans Parry and William Evans, Penygen- law. A parish meeting was held on Friday even ing last, which was of a very lively description- Mr Lloyd, chairman of the Parish Council, pre- sided, and an effort to obtain a show of hands in favour of the respective candidates, failed. It is seldom the quietude of the village has been more disturbed

Glan Conway. TEA.—On Wednesday last, through the kind- ness of Mrs Cheetham and Mrs Roger Jones, two prominent members of the English congregation of the Parish Church, a sumptuous tea was given to the children of the Church Sunday School. After tea, games, &c., more heartily entered into, under the supervision of the genial rector (the Rev Griffith Williams), assisted by Mr Jones- Mortimer, Mrs Williams (rectory), and the Sun- day School teachers. At the hour of closing, which came all too soon, votes of thanks were given to the founders of the feast, and the little ones were sent home each rejoicing in the happy possession of a plentiful supply of oranges and sweets.

OBJECTION BY OVERSEERS.-With res- pect to the objection of the overseers of Llandudno to the renewal of the Gresham Hotel licence, on the ground that the poor rates for next year bad not been paid, Mr R. Bellis, who, appeiring for the overseers, told the Conway Bench on Monday that the matter was adjourned in order that notice of objection might be g.ven The overseers had consulted him, and he had advised that unless the notice could be given in the names of the justioes and by their direction, it would be invalid, and under those circumstances he advised that no notice should be given, as their worships had not definitely instructed that notice should be given. CHOIR SUPPER -The members of the St George's Welsh Church Choir, as well as the children of the Welsh Church Sunday School, bad their annual treat at the National Schools on Tuesday.

Jones,'Miss Williams (the Royal), Miss Conway, Misa Edith Roberts, Mrs Williams (Toll Gate), and Mrs Roberts (Shrews- bury House).

Oldman, the secretary of the Town Improvement Association was asked to under- take the duties of the secretary. Lord Mostyn was unanimously re elected president, and his eldest son, Mr Edward Lloyd Mostyn, was elected a vice-president, in addition to a number of other gentlemen. Mr Charles Fairless was ap- pointed treasurer. It was decided that the coronation of the May Queen should take place as usual in the Pier Pavdion, to be preceded by a trades precession, and followed by old Fnglish sports in the Recreation Ground. In the evening, it is expected, there will be the customary enter- tainment at the Prince's Theatre by the Ama- teur Dramatic Society. The Misses Roberts (Huyton), and Effie Cooper were asked to take in hand the training of the children for the dances and spectacular ceremony in the Pavilion. CLOSE OF THE TEMPERANCE MISSION. —The Temperance Mission which Mr John H. Roberts has been conducting at the Town Hall during the past fortnight was brought to a close on Monday evening, when Mr Marks.pre- sided over a large attendance, and Mr Roberts delivered an interesting and effective lecture the subject of which was "From the Stage to the Cross and Christian Service," which was a fascinating life story of the lecturer, and was closely followed by an appreciative audience. As Mr Roberts placed his services at the dis- posal of the local temperance workers without charge, the local friends presented him with the proceeds of the lecture to meet his personal expenses, and to assist his mission work. At the conclusion a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer upon the proposition of Mr Owen W. Roberts, seconded by Mr Isaac Slater, and supported by Mr John Bellis, and a most successful mission was terminated with the singing of "God be with you till we meet again." DEATH OF THE RECTOR'S MOTHER.— The death .took place, on Wednesday last week, of Mrs Hughes, widow of the late Mr Robert Hughes, quarry manager of Corris, Merioneth- shire. Deceased, who was in her 83rd year, was the daughter of Mr J. Deakin, of Wem, Shropshire, and was married in 1855 to Mr Robert Hughes, of Fron Corris, at which place she resided until the death of her husband in 1888, when she removed to Aberllefenny, and about twelve months ago, owing to advancing years, she went to reside with her son, Mr Arthur Hughes, at Park Villas, New Barnett, near London, where she departed this life, leaving two sons—the Rev Llewelyn R. Hughes, rector of Llandudno, and Mr Arthur Hughes, Conservative candidate for North Carnarvon- shire). The funeral, which was of a private nature, took place at the family burial place, on Saturday, at Corris, the Rev R. J. Edwards, vicar of Corris, officiating. CONCERT AT THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS. —The St. George's Church Welsh Choir gave their annual concert at the National Schools, Church Walks, on Monday evening, when Mr J. H. Rees presided over a crowded attendance. At the outset the Chairman welcomed the re- turn of Miss Williams, the lady conductor of the Welsh Choir, who had been absent from Llandudno for some time. A capital pro- gramme had been arranged by Mr Vincent Johnson. The Choir gave Gwilym Gwent's popular glee, "Yr Haf," in splendid style, and also concluded the programme with "Pan ddwedem ni nos da" (Price.) In both pieces the -party gave evidence of careful training. One of the most pleasing items on the pro- gramme was a sleighing glee by Dr Joseph Parry, which was rendered with capital effect by Mr J. E. Jones's party. Mr Vincent John- son treated the audience to a very pleasing rendering of R. S. Hughes's favourite ballad, "Ellen Fwyn." Mr R. J. Smith gave his num- bers in true comedian style, and was deservedly encored. The accompanists were Miss IVil- liams, Mrs Smith, Rev J. P. Rogers, and Mr Dee, all of whom discharged their duties to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.

Songs, pianofore solos, and recitations, were rendered, and in several cases encores had to be given. Miss Daisy Cartwright danced with I her usual grace and charm, and fully deserved the applause which she received.

Penmaenmawr. ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. -On Monday evening an instructive address was given at the above chapel on Missionary work in Madagascar." Considering that meetings were held at all the other chapels, the attendance was very good. COMMENTS.—The Penmaenanites were not excited over the election, but the candidates seemed uneasy. There was cnly one spoilt vote, and this proves that even Taffy and Taffy's widow are not duffers in the art of putting a cross opposite a man's name. One old wag remarked that the lowest name on the voting paper was always the successful one. On his being asked for an explanation his reply was characteristic of himself: Oli, the old women cannot read and cannot remember much, but they can easily find out the last name on the paper, and it's opposite that name they generally put the cross so as to satisfy themselves that they have voted. But, dear bach, I do not believe it." THE BYE-ELECrION.-The election of a candidate, in succession to the late Mr John Bowen, for the Penmaenmawr Ward, took place on Saturday at the National Schools, Penmaen- mawr. Polling went on from 12 to 8 p.m. The genial Mr J. W. Post was the presiding officer; and Mr W.Jones Brynarfon, acted as clerk. Very few polled from 12 to 4, then the Penmaenanites when starting on their shopping expedition, de- cided to kill two birds with one stone-shopping pnd voting nlaying their parts together. The, counting of the votes was speedily done, and about 8.20 the result was made known as follows:-R. E. Williams, Arfryn, insurance a!lent,126; David G. Jones Alexandra Hotel, publican. Ill; Jno Dowell Penmaenan, insurance agent, 47; Thos. Twist Babell, carpenter's assistant, 3. THE NEW MEMBER.-Mr R. E. Williams, the successful candidate, was foV many years em- ployed as a sett maker at Messrs Darbishire, Limited, Penmaenmawr. He, in company with some other adventurous young men, some 15 to 20 years ago, crossed the herring pond, and paid a visit to America, where they were engaged in the sett making business. On his return be was again employed by Messrs Darbishire, Limited. About a year ago, owing to failing health, he relinquished the sett-making business, and became an agent for an assurance company. He is a great advocate of the temperance movement.. A few years ago, though but still in his infancy as it were, he was elected a deacon of the Salem Congregational Chapel. We wish him success in his new sphere.

The Welsh Crown Spelter Mine, as it was formerly known, has been supplanted by a new company, known as the North Western Spelter Company, and a good number of hands have been employed for the past few weeks.
