Towyn District School Managers. A meeting of the Towyn District School Managers was held on Tuesday afternoon in last week at the Literary Institute, there being present Mr. E. L. Rowlands (chairman) presiding, Messrs. J. Hughes Jones, Morris Thomas, R. Foulkes Jones, J. Maethlon James, John Evans, Humphrey Jones, Wm. Jones, Aberdovey; Wm Jones, Aber gynolwyn; John Roberts, Thomas Jones, Edward Rowland, Michael Roberts, Rev. R. R. Williams, R. Roberts, D. Ifor Jones (clerk) and R. Ll. Jones (attendance officer.) Mr Edward Rowlands called attention to the extension of the Christmas holidays in some localities, and asked what right had the local Managers to alter the times fixed by the Managers.—Mr. Thomas Jones said one or two had asked him whether they were to close on. the 22nd or 23rd, as the resolu- tion stated that holidays were to begin on the 23rd December.—The Chairman brought one case forward where the Sates had been altered, that of Aberdovey Board School on account of repairs.—Mr. John Evans said some schools kept open after the stated time but closed a day later.—Mr. Edward Rowland said advantage Lad been taken of the managers. He thought some discretion should be used.—This ended the discussion. The Clerk read a letter from the Educa- tion Authority, slating that no legal pro- ceedings for non-attendance could be com- menced in a court of summary jurisdiction except by direction of not less than two members of the Education Committee, or by a sub-committee composed of such members appointed for school attendance purposes. The local managers could not, therefore, take proceedings, but the local managers in the district who al so members of the Education Committee were thereby appoint- 00 a sub-committee for attendance purposes. Mr. Thomas Jones suggested that the com- mitt-ee should meet about the 20th of each month in order that the reports might be sent in for the preceding month. By this means they would better suit the arrange- ments of the County authority.—It was de- cided to hold the next meeting on February 16th. Mr. Wm. Jones presented the report of the Attendance Committee and said he was glad to see here was 4 great improvement in the attendance. A letter was read from the Education Committee giving certain instructions as to the presenting of accounts. The committee had resolved that the engagements of head teachers should be terminable by three months notices, and that of assistant tea- chers by one month's notices.—It was pro- posed by Mr. Thomas Jones, seconded by Mr. Foulkes Jones and carried, that the teachers affected should be notified of this. Two applications were received in answer to an advertisement for an assistant teacher for Aberdovey School, i.e. from Mr. Evan Jones, Gelli, Llanwrin, Machynlleth, and Miss Lizzie Wynne Richards, B.A., Caprera House, Aberdovey.—Mr. Foulkes Jones pro- posed, and Mr. Edward Rowlands seconded, that Miss Richards be appointed.—This was carried unanimously. It was decided to advertise for an assist- ant teacher at Tynyberth School, in succes- sion to Miss Oliver, resigned. The question of the instruction of pupil teachers was considered.—It was decided that the correspondence class should be dis- continued, and that the Tieadmasters should be responsible for their instruction.

A Damaged Bridge. Mrs. Anwyl, writing on December 23rd from Buxton Hydropathic, stated the dam- age was done to the bridge by Penpompren Mill by felling and removing timber she had sold to Mr. Reese. of Machynlleth. She had nothing to do with the carting or felling of it; therefore, could not see how she was answerable for damage done by another.— The Clerk said he had written to Mr. Reese, but had not had a reply.—The matter was left to the Clerk. A Capel Bangor Nuisance. The following letter, dated January loth, was read from the Rev. M. Morgan, Capel Bangor:—With reference to the letter from Mr. H. W.

I A communication was read from the I County Council offering to contribute the sum of £10, or one-third the cost, toward the construction of catch-pits at Llanbadarn. —Mr. M. G. Williams considered they should r have a plan of what was to be done.—Sev- -oral members thought the County Council t «hould be asked to contribute one-half the I cast.—Mr. Richard James proposed a reso- f lution to this effect- and tlws was carried. Enclosing Waste Land. Mr. Jotrti Edwards., clerk of the Llangwy- ryfon Parish Council, wrote with regard to the claim of Mr. Roger Williams to the waste land adjoining the road roar Pen gelli, Llan- g^yrjfon. and referred the Council to a re- I solution passed in April. 1902, in which the f Parish Council asked for perm:ss:or and authority to a particular person to d('So it ia. TherKore. they to Mr. Roger Williams' r'aira—Mr, D'rid said the people ofthe locality were agreeable to the enclosure, and he proposed that consent be given.—This was agreed to.

Inspector's Report. The Inspector of Nuisances, in his report, said the inhabitants of South Gate, near Pen parke. drew their supply of water from an open shadow well cut out of the rock on the roadside, which was liable to contamin- ation. He considered all wells of this kind should be condemned. He once more call- ed attention to the well at Cwmystwyth, the water of which was quite unfit for dom- estic purposes. Something should be done to improve the well without delay. The matter of the well at Dolypandy, Penllwyn, had again been allowed to drop. The place was much neglected in this respect., and al- though several efforts had been made to get a proper supply, all had proved abortive. Dr. Rees, the Medical Officer, had notified him of a case of scarlet fever at South Gate, Penparke, and a case of scarletina at Llan- ilar. The usual precautions had been taken in both cases.

LLECHRYD. Flood.—The heavy storms of last week have caused the Teifi to overflow7 its banks, and in consequence the adjoining fields are now inundated for a considerable distance. Death and Funeral.—This district was thrown into deep mourning last week, by the death of Mr. Thomas Jones, Cilvowir Farm on Tuesday last. Deceased, who was 85 years of age, had borne a protracted Alness Christian fortitufie. He was thought highly of by his neighbours, and the respect held for him was evident throughout the whole district Mr Jones was a staunch Nonconformist, and Liberal. Prior to the passing of the Education Act of 1870, he took an energetic interest in education, being for many years chairman of the Llech- ryd British School Committee. The Lon- don Missionary Society, and the British and Foreign Bible Society for whom he act- ed as treasurer of the Llechryd branch since its formation—have, by his death, lost a valuable connection. He was further the senior deacon at the Llechryd Independent Church, andhad for 60 years filled the office of deacon-a record it would not be easy to beat. The funeral took place on Satur- day last, the interment being made at Bet- hesda, near Newcastle Emlyn, cemetery. Over sixty vehicles formed a procession, and the number on foot was unprecedented. The chief mourners were Mr D S Jones, Castell Maelgwyn (son of the deceased) and family. Amongst others present we notice 1 Mr T. Lewis, Clynfiew: Mr Saunders Davies, Cil- wenydd Park; Mr J W Stephens, Glanol- march; Revs. J Morris, Capel Mair; Her- monydd Williams, Llechryd (Independent); Dalis Davies, Beulah; D Evans, Trewen: Ambrose Jones, Manordivy; Messrs.

The officiating ministers were as follows:—At the house, Rev. J Morris, Capel Mair: at the cemetery chapel. Revs Hermonydd Wil- liams, pastor, and Dalis Davies, Bulah; at the grave Rev D Evans. Trewen. Much sympathy is expressed with the bereaved relatives in their sorrow. j

CAPEL SEION. A BI-MONTHLY MEETING of the CaMnistic Methodist Sunday Schools of the district was held at Capel Seion on Sunday. The weather was most unpropitious, but a goodly number of delegates were present at the meeting. At the children's meeting in the morning, an interesting programme was gone through, the singing being under the leadership of Mr Edward Morgan. Mr M D Williams, Saron, and Mr George Owen, Shiloh, catechised the children in different sections. of the Holwycidoreg, and got admirable results from the children, who seemed to have been extremely well trained for the ordeal. A brief address was given by Mr William Thomas, Shilob, At the teachers meeting, a livHv and edifying dis- cussion was initiated by Mr W Thomas, who read a paper on The Being of God." The following gentlemen took part—Messrs AI D Williams, R Richards, B.A., George Owen. David Owen, John Jones, Seion, and Charles Benson. Trefechan. At the afternoon meeting a number of very appro- priate addresses were given. Mr David Owen, Tancae.spoke on the necessity of devotional reading of God's word Mr Benson, on how to make the Sunday School a more effective instrument of good; Mr George Thomas, Salem, on the intro- duction Of Christianity to Britain; and Mr W Ellis, Bath-street, gave an address on the lessons to be learnt from the missionary labours of Paul. At the after-meeting, the secretary, Mr Abraham Joel, compared the Esual statistics with those of the previous meeting. It was announced that the next bi-monthly meeting would be held at the Tabernacle, on Sunday. March 13tb, the subject for discussion in the teachcrs' meeting to be the second of the leading questions recently published, the discussion to be opened by Mr Edward Lloyd. Mr M D Williams gave an account of his recent visitation of the Sunday Schools, which appear to be in a fairly flourishing condition and doing very creditable work. A resolution brought forward by the Tancae representative was referred to the various schools for their opinion. At the evening meeting, the service having been introduced by Mr John Thomas, Bont, the President gave an address on the causes which led to the Jews' rejection of Christ as their Messiah and Mr Evan Evans gave an address on Calvinism and its influence. The best thanks of the representatives was given to the friends at Capel Seion for their cordial reception of the delegates and their generous and open-hearted hospitality. The meetings throughout were much enjoyed.

LLEDROD. Bravery.—The Malvern Gazette for the 8th inst., gives an account of a disastrous lire which broke out on the previous Sunday at the Castle House Schoo!, at that place and in which a young lady from this district dis- played conspicuous bravery. Between four and five o'clock in the morning the lire had got such a hold on the building that it was beyond the power of the Fire Brigade to save it. The flames rushed out, casting a lucid glare into the sky which could be seen a long way off, the scene being an imposing one. It was a fortanate circumstance that the pupils were away, it being the Christmas vacation; otherwise lit would have been difficult to contemplate the results that might have happened. The only occupants of the house were Mrs Nioholls. the principal, and Miss Evans, her assistant. About 4-45 on Sunday morning Miss Evans awoke to find her bedroom full of smoke, and anticipating danger, she rushed into Mrs Nicholls room and immediately roused her. Both at once rushed out in their nightdresses and it was lucky that they did, for the staircase fell in instantly after. Miss Evans, who is a daughter of Mr Evans of Rhandirissaf, Llangwyryfon, and a niece of Mr Bvan Evans, Tynewydd Villa, is much commended for her courage in rushing to the recne of Mrs Nicholls, which she had to do through a passage filled with smoke and almost enveloped in flames. The Agricultural Co-operative Society.—This Stciety has of late made substantial progress, and there seems to be no doubt but that it has come to stay. To prove this, the progress made by the society during last lyear may be taken as a fair criterion. At the last two meetings held twenty- four new members were admitted, bringing the total up to 64, having advanced to that figure from 24 at the end of last year. The turnover this year amounts to nearly £800 as against something under £200 last year, and the estimated profits are between £70 and £100. One remarkable feature in connection with this society is the small outlay expended in conducting the business, this amounting last year only to the sum of £2 10s.. The area covered by the society is very large, members having been admitted from the following districts:—Ystrad Meurig, Berth, Tregaron, Caradog, Llanfihangel-y-cveuddyn, Llanilar, Lian- rhystyd, Llangwyryfon, Bethel, and Bronant. A noticable incident occurred at the last meeting when an application was received to become a mpmber from an old native of the plaee over eighty years of age, and in order to show their admiration of this pluck, the Committee decided unanimoi -ly to pay his entrance fee. The followiug are the officers of the society for the suing year President, Dr J E Jliyuhes, -T.i.. Cwr:>c;nlnaw, Llajniiar; chairman of < • >. Mr H Sdwards.

Ond nid oedd neb o ddieithriaid ynddo tu allan i'r lie, ond Cranogwen," yr oedd hi wedi digwydd dyfod yno 0 Uanddewi.Aberarth,er mwyn cael gweled pa fodd 'yr oedd Gymdeithas Ddir- westol y Mynywaid (yr oedd hi wtidi ei sefydlu yno er ys dros Hwyddyn yn ol), yn dyfod yn mlaen.

Lar Consumers and Sellers of Petroleum are now realising the great disadvantage of keeping me in casks. These are some of the^drawbacks of storing Oil in Casks If barrels are much exposed to the dampness. thf sometimes becomes dissolved, thus rendering the Barrels leaky, and also injuring the Oil. The quantity of Oil lost in leaking from Barrels on tap is considerable, and greatly increases therisk of fire, and L. C. Farleigh foreseeing this, has made a special study of Oil Storage Tanks and Cabinets, and is now able to supply any class of Tank (tested), to suit various requirements at the very lowest prices delivered free of all expense. A few illustrations and prices given below. farteigb's improved Patent Oil Cabinets, No Gentleman's Residence should be without a Cabinet. No 1 The Perfect System kinds of Oil for ShoPt Store, and CLOSED of keeping all OPEN Household use. CLOSED. DECR/PTION. OPEN THE CABINET is made of tinned steel with galvanized iron bottom, and is of the very best finish and workmanship thioughout. Being enamelled BRIGHT RED, it is attractive in appearance, and is unaffected by weather or the oil. It shuts up, and is DUSTPROOF, and owing to its double lid is entirely free from smell. There is a hinged inside lid on which lamps, etc., can stand when being filled this lid is perforated so that any overflow runs back into the well of the Cabinet. It can be padlocked. The P U M P is a force pump, made of polished brass, simple in its construction, and cannot get out of order. IT IS SCREWED INTO ITS PLACE, and can be easily taken out for filling the Cabinet from a barrel. Its action is so easy that it can be worked with one finger. It will fill a one-gallon measure in twelve seconds. The oil can be obtained instantly without stooping down, If the measure or vessel be pumped too full the overflow runs back into the Cabinet. The amount of oil contained in the Cabinet can be seen by a glance at the MEASURING ROD. A lamp can be filled direct from the Pump by using a funnel, tapered union, or hose. I Capacity. Height.
