Everybody was aware of the circumstances, but everybody might not be aware what a promising girl Miss Jones was in, school. She was a most popular pupil and one who had grcnt influence over her fellows. It seemed donbh sad that- she had been lost to her parents at so early an age and with so promising a career. He moved an ex- pression of deep sympathy with the parents in their overwhelming bereave- ment. Miss ^Philip Morgan, in seconding, most cordially and deeply sympathised with the parents and all connected with the unfortunate occurrence. She heard nothing but the highest account of the Miss Jones's career in the school her popularity with her fellows. I The sv.l fatality c deep gloom over the school.

He, the Rector, was personally indebted to Major Edward Davies. and also to Mrs Davies since her husband's death, for many acts of kindness in connection with his parochial work at Vaynor. He could easily enumerate a few of them straight from memory, such as, for in- stance, a feeift of an acre of land for Luc ijAteuMuu 01.

Captain Harry Davies, who was asked that day by his tenants to accept a silver salver at their hands as a mark of their goodwill for him and Mrs Davies, the speaker hoped and was sure would follow in the footsteps of his good father, whose memory they all revered, and would carry out the excellent principles which moved him at all times to do his duty. Mr John Morris, formerly of Pistyll (now of Dolycoed), and Mr William Morris (Caeinadoc), two of the tenants, also poke in eulogistic terms of Captain Harry Davies as their landlord. Mr John Morris said he had farmed on the estate under three reigns, viz., those of the Captain's grand-father, his father, the Captain's grand-father, his father, and himself. Mr Win. Morris humorously remarked that he would rather stand on .his head for an hour than on his feet for 5 minutes to make a speech. Still, he made an excellent attempt on this oc- casion. Capt. Davies responded in fine form. Mr Edward Davies (the captain's brother), of Pontarfran, and Mr Jenkins. solicitor, of Penarth (a friend of the family) were also present, and took part in the felicitations. The Captain and Mrs Davies were heartily thanked for I their hospitality by the Rector of Yaynor.

»- PRIZE SHEEP BURNT, Distressing Occurrence on the Cambrian Railway. j ——— I Mr. H. A Christy's Serious j Loss A distressing case of burning of valu- ible sheep, involving a great loss to Mr H. A. Christy, of Llungoed Castie. LIyswen. Breconshire. the well-known breeder of pedigree Hereford cattle and Ryeland sheep, occurred on the Cambrian Railway on Saturday morning. Mr i Christy had entered a number of cattle I and sheep for the Royal Agricultural Show at Cardiff this week and on Saturday morning the exhibits were put on a goods train at Boughrood Station. Seven Ryeland sheep-one three-year-old mm. three sherlillg rams, and three shearling ewes—nearly all prize'-winuers, were put in a horse box, and the train left Boughrood at about 11 o'clock. Xo- body travelled in the box with the sheep, and how the fire was started which caused the poor animals terrible suffering and necessitated their being killed, can only be a matter of conjecture. We understand that the stationmaster at Boughrood finally closed the door of the j box, and that he noticed nothing wrong I then. Before the train reached Three I Cocks junction people there on the look- I out for it noticed that a horse box was smoking. As soon as it ran in assistance ¡ was rendered, the box was opened, and it was at once noticed that the cloths pro- tecting the sheep were on fire. Fanned 1 by the draught the bedding straw burst into flames, and it was with difficulty that the tortured animals were released. They were all terribly burnt, the in- juries including the loss of the clees (the horny parts of the hoof?), and burn- ing of the eyes and parts of the bodies. The Police were informed. Mr A. J. Cat-tell, M.R.C.Y.C., was summoned from Brecon, and on his advice all the sheep were slaughtered by Mr Price, of Tal- garth. Mr Christy's loss is heavy, being estimated at about 1250, apart from any consideration of honours that might have been won at Cardiff. The values put upon the seven sheep before they left Llangoed are as follows Lugwardine IEIero, the three-year-old ram, 40 gs. Llangoed Pinic." shearling ram, 45 gs. LlangoedJasper," shearlingram, 40 gs.; "Llangoed Heckler." shearling ram, 36 gs.; the three shearling ewes, about 25 gs. each.

RHEUMATISM KIDNEY TROUBLE Rheumatism is due to uric acid, which is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout. urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets, a thoroughly harmless specific, based on modern medical science. for the treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured numberless cases after the failure of other remedies.

The Amateur Athletic Association is desirous of assisting in every way the promotion of athletic sports in connection with fhA PP('P eplebrnHnn* mo use maue 01 athletics, in the training of our Armies in the Field, testifies to its importance from a National point of view. The Military authorities i have realised that by inducing men to follow sport for sport's sake, and compete for the honour of their regiment, company, or other unit, rather than for personal profit, their mental and moral, as well as merely physical, condition is improved. It is the sporting spirit, thus en- gendered. which has won the war. and the object of the A. A.A. is to organise sport on national lines, and so continue to encourage this spirit, and induce men to compete for the village, town or county. As a first step the A. A.A. strongly recommend the promotion of amateur athletic sports in every town and village part of the Peace celebrations, and will. on application, issue free permits, and resist local committees with advice on the subject of programmes and prizes, which latter they suggest should take the form of n specially designed Peace sports medal.

.p. continued fiom fagc 2. Laurence was killed. Many other officers were killed or wounded. Col. Leach's injuries permanently put him out of the feld. but he was afterwards given a high position in the War Office. Major A. J. Reddie succeeded him in the command of the battalion. For two nights after the marvellous "sticking" at Gheluvelt, the remnants of the Borderers were in the notorious Hooge Wood and then moved round to Zillebeeke, where they were to have had a long and much deserved rest but a weakness developed in the trench line at Festubert, and after only some four days' ease the faithful band were rushed up to tho breach. They restored the broken line, and having done so went back to Le Pugnoy, where at long last they had a month's rest, the first real rest they had had from the outbreak of the war. Fed with drafts, a restored 1st "Battalirm moved up to Festubert for normal trench warfare in January, 1915. On the 21st they were in heavy fighting, in which Capt. H. M. B. Salmon (the strenuous leader of the Brecon depot football team just before the war) gained his D.S.O., and there were heavy casualties amongst all ranks. For the Xeuve, Chapelle Battle of March 17th they were in reserve, but shortly afterwards relieved a unit of the Lahore Indian Division at Port Arthur," and whilst they were there Capt. Bill, another of the officers of pre-war days, and Lieut. Travers (-on of General Travers. an old 24th commanding officer) were killed, amongst other casualties. The next item of importance in the record is the attack on Aubers Ridge on May 9th, where the battalion had nine officers killed (including Lord de Ffreyue and his brother) and one wounded, and 317 casualties amongst other ranks. They ■.vent into position- overnight, siarced fighting at. sunrise, and the battle lasted all day. Trench warfare followed till the Battle of Loos, on September 5th, and before that historic event Col. A. J. Reddie. D.S.O., left to take over the command of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and was succeeded by Major R. S. Gwynne, of a well-known Breconshire family. At Loos the battalion did excellent work, as always, and suffered heavily. Col. Gwynne won his D S.O. tor ius share m this operation, but was shortly afterwards invalided home, and the command was taken over by another officer well known locally, Col. B. W. Collier, who was stationed at Brecon when the war broke out. SANGUIXAItY FIGHTING AT HIGH WOOD. In February, 1916, the regiment had some very severe cratei fighting on the outskirts of Loos Village, with casualties 1 les amounting to five officers and 128 other ranks. After this some months of trench fighting appeared comparatively tame. In the middle ) ri!IC summer the battalion was moved south to the Somme again, and from July 24th had a fortnight's severe fighting. This earned them a rest at Melanconrt, after which they returned to the Somme line. On August 2Gth they were again in a heavy engaginent, in connection with which Capt. II. J. Inglis, M.C. (son of Mr C. N G. Inglis, of Glanwye, Builth Wells) received the D.S.O. Then, after a day or two of rest, the ever-enduring 1st took part in some of the most sanguinary fighting of the Somme battles, at the notorious High Wood on September 8th. The losses of the whole First Division were exceptionally great on this occasion, and the South Wales Borderers suffered severely. On September 11th what was to have been a rest of six weeks was begun, but after a week the battalion were called upon to take part in the fighting round Flers. Then they did get a month out. On December 8th, Col. Collier had to return home on sick leave. He was succeeded in the com- mand by Col. C. L. Taylor, who was at the Brecon Depot for three years, married a sister of Capt. J. D. D. Evans, of Ffrwdgrech, and is well-known in Breconshire. in v eoruary, lux i, i-no oaiUuiou look over a line from the French south west of Peronno, and followed the Bosche in the first two days of his March retire- ment. From that time till July they were occupied in building railways and roads and in intensive training in the devastated area. left by the enemy. July 10th found them on the sea coast by Nier.- port, but here they had better than their usual luck and did not get heavily en- gaged. They were in reserve for the Battle of Messines. In November they took a highly creditable part in the hot fighting round P;is:>ciicndaale, where Coi. Taylor was wounded, afterwards receiving the D.S.O. He came to England, and during his absence the unit was commanded successively by Major H. G. Fowler, D.S.O. (son-in- law of Sirs. Maybery, of the Priory, Brecon), and Lieut.-Col. D. G. Johnson, who afterwards won the V.C., rv bar to Iii-'D.S.O., and the Military Cross, the V.C. being awarded for magnificent work at the crossing of the Sambre Canal in the last battle of the war. At Passcliendaale the battalion had-eight, or nine casualties amongst officers and 271 amongst other-ranks. JiETUUXE COALVIELP* SAVED. In April, 1918, they were fighting hard once mere round Festubert, where the Bosche was trying to break through to the Bethune coalfields. He threw three divisions against onr First, and it is unquestionable that our numerically Weak force saved the coalfields, and in jloing so had material help from the 1st South Wales Borderers. Col. Taylor had como back to the command in the Meantime, and led his battalion in this 'n important operation, involving some of the hottest fighting they experienced throughout the w:>: 'Y.n-niei i:tg "■■hat they had to do. their casualties v,err; not were killed or wounded, and there were a Ioi, I about 120 casualties i:i other ranks.

asking whether they were in favour of the establishment of a hostel and if so whether they would be prepared to support it. The fees suggested were £ 30 per annum for full term or £ 25 per annum in the case of pupils who went home for week-ends. The Clerk (Mr T. J. Parry) said about 35 replies were received, the large majority of which favoured the proposal. The Chairman said he noticed that only one out of the whole number referred to the essence of the proposal, .).n!]<:lv the vev'T (fl,<.t pdvintnw tn th" girls of being in a hostel under the care of one specially chosen and qualified for the purpose.

Chairman They would have ¡ rooms for the purpose. 1 Miss Morgrn And silenc3 could be obtained, whilst there would be the influence of the lady at the head. Principal Lewis Oversight is a good thing. The Chairman said the house they had in view for a' hostel was. he feared, in peril of going in another direction, namely, Watton Mount. The County namely, Watton Mount. The County Council, he believed, were proposing to purchase it for additional offices. In the whole of Brecon they could not find a more charming place for such a hostel. There were the rooms, gardens and tennis court. It was also very close to the station and the school. He did not know whether it was any use intervening with the County Council on the matter, or whether they were in a position to intervene. He thought, hawever, that it was somewhat sad that a house of that sort should be turned into offices. (Hear, hear). Principal Lewis agreed and said they ought to intervene with the County Council. The grounds made the house admirable for the purpose. There was no house so suitable, whilst there were other houses suitable for the purposes of County Council offices. The Chairman suggested that they should appeal to the better nature of the ,11l\ \VI.t.LP.i.1. Ío.J lJ..1.V" \.1.1\ ,lJ.¡J.) to have the house. (Laughter). Discussion then turned upon the general principle of establishing a hostel, and ultimately, on the motion of Miss Philip Morgan, seconded by Miss Adelaide Williams, it was decided to establish one provided a suitable house could be ifound. >■ o i; E ACCO MM OI ) AT I ay "TEj).
