j' HENLLAN. Tea Party.—At the Independent Chapel at Gwernllwyn, the members of the Sunday School had their annual tea party on Tuesday week. Avery pleasant afternoon was spent and in the evening an entertainment was held. It was presided over by the Rev. D. Jones, and a varied and interesting pro- gramme was proceeded with. The children did their part creditably, and showed evid- ent signs of very careful training.

NEW QUAY. Scholastic. Many will be glad to learn that Mr. Idwal Lloyd, son of Air. Thomas Lloyd, Rose Hill, has been successful in passing the matriculation examination, of the London University. Had Master Lloyd been eight days younger he would be too young to sit for the examination. His friends will watch his scholastic career with interest. Smguig Festival. The annual singing festival of the Congregational Churches 01 Wern, Penycae, Maenygroes, Nanternis, Brynrhiwgaled, and Toii-yu, New Quay, was held at lbwyn Chapel last Friday. The con- ductor for this year was Mr. John Pliiiipps, Port i'albot, who is well-known as the suc- cessful leader of the famous Port Talbot Male Voice Party. This was the second year in succession for Mr. Philipps to con- duct this singing festival, and he has each time proved himself to be the right man in the right place. The great feature or this year's programme was the part taken by the (hildn,rL \111k'Cf.' MUKrmtr "1> -j "b.&b "r' "J thing in the history of the festivals. The con- ductor had the children completely in his own hands, and their singing was most ex- cellent. The morning service will not be forgotten for many years by the large con- gregation present. The Rev. W. Griffiths, Maenygroes, presided in the morning, and did his work with his usual ability. The Rev. D. M. Davies, catechised the children in the Life of Christ. The children went through their task in a capital manner. The following was the morning's programme:— "Cenwcli delyn Seion/' "Yr Oen difai, "Pob llwyth ac iaith," "Y Messiah addawedig," "Ymdeitbgan y Cristion," "Cor Caersalem." In the aiternoon the place was crowded bc- fOie 2 o'clock, when Mr. S. Thomas, Synod- ganol, presided. The following programme was gone through"Olivet," "Carisle," "Darwdl," "Prague," "Boreu Hyfryd," "Holstein." "St. Aelred," "Tydfil," and the anthem Mor hawddgar yw y bebyll" (W. 1'. Samuel). The evening meeting was pre- sided over by Mr. James Jones, Gwarllyn, and the following tunes were sung- Oswes- try," "Cysur," "Dyfroedd Siloaho" "HeV ron," "Caerllyngocd," "Hadley," "St. Tlieo- dulph," "Dies Ine," "Afon aw en." and the aiitliem- The singing at the evening meet- ing rose to a very high standard, several of the tunes had to be repeated over and over again. While singing the anthem, the coliductei- was quite overcome. When the choir and congregation joined in the singing the effect was most impressive. "Afon awen" was repeated many times. The singing festival of 190G at Towyn, New Quay, will be remembered for many years as a most remarkable festival. During the meetings the following papers were read:— "Gwasanaeth offerynau cerdd yn nglyn a chaniadaeth y Cvssegr," by Mr. T. G. Thomas, Bryn, and "Perthynas. caniadaeth y Cys&egr ag addoliad," by Mr. Evan Thomas, Bwlchcefn. Short addresses were also delivered by the TIevs. J. M. Prvtherch W. Griffiths, W. Jones, E. J. Edwards, and D. M. Davies, and Mr. W. Thomas, Bryn- arfor. A vote of thanks was proposed' to all those who had been kind enough to serve at the tables by the Rev. Rev. D. M Davies and seconded by Rev. W. Griffiths. The accompanists fop the day were Miss Myfanwy Parry, Mr. D. N. Jones. Miss Annie Davies, Miss M. P. Rees, R.A.M., Miss Thomas. n.A.M., 1d Mrs. Griffiths, Maenygrocs.

._r. NEWCASTLE v-t. David's Day. St. David's Day was commemorated by the students of the Emlyn Grammar School by a grand dinner at the Cawdor Hotel. After partaking of a sub- stantial repast, a most interesting p:o- gramme was gone through. Dr. Povvell made an excellent chairman. The toast to the King and Royal Family having been given by 11 to Chairman, the toast to "Dewi Sant" was pro posed by Dr. Powell in a very able and interesting speech. Part, in the discussion was taken by Rev. Davies, C'apel Tygwydd, Mr. Levis, Ferryside, Mr. Wil- liams, Llwynbrwydrau. Mr. Williams, Borth, Mr. J. Phillips, head master, and the llev. K Phillips. The toast "Success of tho Euilyn Grammar School" was proposed by Rev. Davies, Capel Tygwydd in a vigorous speech, and was supported by Mr. Jones, Peiiino)-i .a, and replied to by Mr. J. Phillips, head master, and Mr. T. T. Elias, tho old -n.iar,te.i- of the Grammar School. Two hand- some r«Ir -les of It Sr,, Autobio- graphy w, e presented to the Chairman as a token 0 esteem and respect for his kind services. They were handed over by a sen- ior student on behalf of the Emlyn Grammar School, and a most humorous speech was given by Evans, Tredegar. Songs were ren- dered by Messrs. Jones, Penmorfa, Jones, Go' seinon, Davies, Barry, and a flute solo by W iiiiams, Llw ynbrwydrau. The accompan- ist for the evening was Mr. James, Borth. A very enjoyable evening was concluded by singing Hen Wlad fy Nhadau." TOWN NOTES. Now. is the time for competitors at next summer's horticultural show to set their gardens. so that their produce may be fit for exhibition. Three tips I give gratis, and they are:—Procure the best seeds, dig deep and thin out early. The two latter are sadly .needed, for it has become a fash- ion to scrape the surface of the land with a long handled dung fork in order to save the human back. Again, it is considered waste to pull a single vegetable, as if root crops would expand in mid-air. It would be a "terminological inexacti- tude" to say that.the road from the town to Llandyssul is fit for cycling. The fishing season started well, one veteran angler securing four pounds and a half of trout on the opening day. Field Marshal, Earl Roberts, would look upon this district as an ideal one, for he is anxious for every man to be able to handle a gun. It would be an easy matter to raise an irregular regiment of mounted infantry in case of need (which, thinking imperially and not magisterially, means safety from 91 the possible invasion of a foreign foe), now that the battery at the mouth of the river is to be dismantled. There is likely to be a heated election for membership of the Urban District Council, for there are numerous candidates in the field. Let the electors ponder well, who they fix upon, and not choose show horses who are only anxious to exhibit their own paces. Owing to want of foresight the rate is excessively high for a town of its size and class, and will require long headed business men to be able to keep it from advancing. Self aggrandisement and advertisement should not be looked upon as qualifications. It is to be feared Welshmen prefer eat- ing leeks to wearing them, for only one little boy did I see with the emblem of his nation- ality on St. David's Day. According to old Welsh authorities the proper leeks to wear are those known as Cenin Tragwyddol, possibly a symbol that the Welsh nation would be everlasting or, at all events, be in existence to the end of time. —TUDOR TREVOR. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the Board was held on Friday, when there were present Mr. Benjamin Davies (presiding), Mrs. Eliza- beth Bvans, Messrs. Thomas Davies (Bron- wion), John James Davies, John Rees, Tom Jones (Tyssul), Jolm Davies, David Davies (Maengwyn), John H. Evans, John Jones, David Davies (Dolau), Griffiths Davies, John Davies, David M. Davies, Thomas Davies (Cilwaenydd), Thomas Barrett, Thomas Jones, William Jones, David Jones, Henry Davies, Evan Thomas, Thomas Bowen, Daniel Bowen, John Jones, and John C. Jones, with D. T. George (clerk), F. W. Probert (assistant clerk), H. Evans (master), and James Rees and Mrs. A. M. Thomas (relieving officers). Disabled Sailors. Regarding a resolution that was passed at the previous meeting) that the guardians circularise other Unions to petition the Gov- ernment to take over the charge of old and disabled sailors, the following communica- tions were received :—" House of Commons. I quite agree with the resolution you for- warded me.— Vaughan Davies."—23, Albermarle-6t, W.. I am in receipt of the resolution you sent me expressing the view that the admiralty should support all sailors and marines, disabled in H. M. Service. I have long been in favour of old-age pensions for aged poor, and in any scheme of the kind sailors and marines, would, naturally, be included."—J. W. Phillips,-4, Harcourt Buildings. I have received your letter en- closing copy of resolution of your Board of Guardians, which shall have my best atten- tion."—J. Lloyd-Morgan. Vaccination. tion."—J. Lloyd-Morgan. Vaccination. The Parish of St. Giles, Camberwell Union wrote enclosing a copy of a resolution passed by them, which they asked the Board to support, viz., That the Local Government Board be requested to take steps at an early date to promote legislation for the re- peal of compulsory vaccination, failing which that they be asked to take steps to promote legislation to place vaccination officers under the entire control of the Guardians. That payment of both public vaccinators and vaccination officers be by salary, and the fee system abolished. That longer time be given to conscientious objectors in which to apply for exemption certificates, and that the means of obtaining such certificates be simplified by providing for conscientious ob- jectors making a statutory declaration be- fore a Justice of the Peace and forwarding same to the vaccination officer .-The conl- munieaticHi was laid on the table. Tenders. It was decided to advertise for tenders for the printing of the abstract of accounts in the Welsh Gazette" and other papers. Thanks. A vote of thanks was accorded the Rev. J. Phillips for conducting Divine service in the House, and also to Mrs. Lloyd, N. P. Bank, for giving an entertainment and gifts. to the inmates. The Return of Dr. Lloyd. Dr. Lloyd, the medical officer, was pre- sent at the meeting for the first time since his illness extending over several months.— His re-appearance was heartily welcomed by the Board. Half-Yearly Estimates. The estimate for the next half-year was as follows :-Expenditure, C3.113, leaving a balance of £ 2,849 9s. 8d. after deducting receipts, to be made up by calls on the common fund. Later Train Wanted. The Chairman said it would be more con- venient if the G.W.R. could be prevailed upon to alter the 12.30 train to two o'clock. This was supported by Mr. T. Barrett, and it was agreed that the Clerk write to the G. W. Railway Company, asking them to grant this concession. The House. The Master reported there were 21 inmates in the House compared with 17 in the cor- responding period of last year. Forty-five vagrants had been relieved compared with sixty-five the corresponding period of last year.

TREGARON. Monthly Market. There was an unusu- ally large attendance at the market on Tuesday, and the beautiful weather which prevailed drew a large crowd of dealers and farmers. It was on the whole a far better market than has been witnessed for some months, and although the trade in England was said to be quiet there was a good clear- ance of cattle. Yearlings, which were rather scare?, were in good demand at prices from £6 to £ 7 Hk. and two-year-old fetched £ 7 to tio. Mi icii cows which have not suffered so much in value as store were in good demand, and their prices corresponded with those of previous markets, viz., from £ 10 to Thirty-four loaded waggons were booked by train. Death of "Caronian."—After a prolonged illness the death of Mr. E. Caronian Evans, Chapel-street, took place Cll Tuesday even- ing of last week, in the presence of the mem- bers of his family, the Rev, Morgan Evans, Messrs. D. Thomas. C.M., Daniel Williams, porter, and Stephen Jones, Brvntivy. De- ceased, who was in his fifty-six1 h year of age, was a native of the town, and had been closely indentified with its activities through- out his life. He possessed a fair amount of literary talent, and although fond of prose he did not cultivate his gift to any great extent. For many years h<> acted as town postman, ,I iid it was only a few weeks ago that the inhabitants presented him with a purse of gold as a mark of their esteem to- wards lum upon his retirement, through in- disposition. "Caronian" gave his support to all things which tended for the benefit of the public. He was a member of the Parish Council and of the lato School Board, ftnd had acted as chairman of both bodies in lÙ; t.)r-i. He conducted the singing at the C.M. Chapel, and also acted as secretary of the Gvmanfa Ganu. and the local branch of the Missionary Society. His familiar figare i will be grently missed, for he wae held in i the lsghe^t esteem by all who had come in contact with him. A large concourse of relatives and friends attended the funeral on Saturday, and deep was the sympathy ex- tended to the widow and her nine young children. The Rev. Morgan Ex-aiu- pas- tor. officiated, the interment being made at Bwlchgwynt.

The Board of Agriculture have issued a return showing the total produce and yield per acre of the principal crops "raised in Great Britain during 1905. Generally, the seed time was very <0' favourable, harvesting operations were also conducted under excel- lent conditions, the quality of the crops gathered being good as a rule. As a result. seven of the eleven crops distinguished proved above the average, while in none of the other four crops was the deficiency very large. Wheat was in most. cases regarded as the crop of the year. The total production amounted to 58.902.499 bushels, 22,000.000 more than in 1904. and a larger crop than in any previous year "since 1899. The yield per acre was 32.78 bushels, which is n bushels above the mean of the previous ten years, and six bushels above the poor return of 1904. The total production of barley was nearly a million bushels in excess of that of the previous year, the yield per acre beine more than a bushel above the average. The somewhat dry season did not, however, suit the oat crop.

LAMPFm*. CO-OPERATIVE DAIRY SOCH.al. THE CREAMERIES LEASED. A general meeting of the shareholders of the Lampeter Co-Operative Dairy Society was held at the Town Hail on Friday aiter- noon. The chairman (31r. J. C. iiarfordj, presided, and there were also present Messrs. J. Kees, Dolgwm; S. Davies, Coed- park; D. D. Jones, Cwmmawr; D. Evans, Pontfaen; Lewis Evans, Llwynieir; W. I Jones, Gellygwenin; Thos. Davies, Beily- coch; D. Jones, Old Bank, and T. Jonec, Gwarffynon, with Mr. D. Thomas, manager and secretary. The only item 011 the agenda was to receive and consider the re- port of the committee appointed at the annual meeting to sub-let the Creameries. The committee recommended that the two Ureameries-Lalllpeter and Llanwnen—should be let to Mr. J. E. Hughes, egg merchant. Derby and Lampeter, for five years at a rent of 1:75 per annum free of taxes, the new tenant having the option to give up the tenancy after a year's trial.—The report having been adopted, it was resolved to con- tinue the Society, and that Mr. D. Thomas be appointed secretary at zL;5 per annum.— The chairman refei-i-,d in eulogistic terms to the services rendered by Mr. Thomas, and a cordial vote of thanks was accorded him.—Last year's financial account showed a turn-ofr of zLl,627 18s. lid., the sales being made up as follows:—Butter £1,(J"2G Is. 6d. cream. zL302 12s. 4d. butter-milk. JC3 Is.; manures, £ 229 3s. 7d. seeds E55 5s. 6d., the gross profit being £28G 10s. 7d. The profit and loss account showed a loss of £39 lis. 8d. The Chairman's report read at the annual meeting was as follows:—"I11 presenting the sixth annual report of the Society, 1 much regret to have to state that, though by your wish and against my judg- ment, the Llanwnen Creamery was con- tinued. It has been a loss. and has not been supported by the farmers of the dis- trict. The milk supplied at Llanwnen being, in 1905, 2,473 gallons less than in 1904. and 12,741 gallons less than in 1903, under these circumstances the only sensible course is to abandon the Llanwnen station as far as the Society is concerned, and to try and get some one to take over the lease from Mrs. Hughes, if she will consent to this, and to take over from the Society at a valuation the machinery and plant.—As regards the Lampeter Creamery, the state is not so bad. We received 42,858 in 1903 39,055 in 1904; 35,754 gallons in 1905, showing a steady decrease, but still a fair supply of milk.—A heavy loss of nominally £ 108 4s. 7d. in 1902 was really the cause of our downfall. At present, this year the loss, owing t-o the hard work of our Manager, has in spite of the small supply of milk been only £ 39 lis. 8d., of which t25 represents the amount nominally set aside for depre- ciation, leaving the actual money loss. at E14 lis. 8d., not a very serious matter if it were not that each year our supply of milk has been falling off, so that now we cannot deal with the supply with any chance of making a profit.—The liabilities of the Soc- iety consist of two leases of the buildings at Lampeter and at Llanwnen, whicbi no doubt could be transferred to other shoulders.—On capital account, £285 10s. on trading account ( £ 298 17s. 5d.. less £ 131 3s.) £ 167 14s. 5d.: £ 453 4s. 5d.—less also I the amount of stock-in-trade and cash-in- hand put at JE45 13s. Id., or roughly, if the factory could have been closed and handed over to another company on January 1st. 1906, the liabilities to the Bank would have been about £ 410, but to be on the safe side I would prefer to consider our liabili- ties as £ 450 to allow for contingencies. Against this the machinery, less deprecia- tion, is valued at £ 735 18s. 4d.—We have made enquiries as to people who may be in- clined to take over the coiicTrIT. and if the Society concurs in my views, the best plan will be to advertise, as soon as possible, for someone, either a man or a company, to take over the lease of the Llanwnen Creamery and buy the machinery at a valuation, and to let the Lampeter Butt, Factory on a five ypars' lease, by the end of which time we might be in a position to start again. T would advise a small committee of five being appointed to draw up the advertisement, and deal with the matter, who would of course have no power to definitely close tl.3 bargain without placing the offer they con- sidered best to accept before a meeting of the shareholders. In conclusion. I beg to express my regret that the farmers have not supported their own Society better, and to thank the Manager for his hard work."

I Llywodrae'ih lawer o arian yn bresenol; ac er nad oedd y Llywodraeth ond ieuanc, yr o dd llawer o geisiadau arni i wario miliynau o bunnau. Gytnnai y Llywodraeth ei fod yn fater i wneyd ymchwiliad iddo. Nid oedd yn meddwl y byddai. i'r oil o Loegr gael ei olchi vmaith tra byddai y Ddirprwyaeth hyderu y eaniateid amser i'r Llywodraeth i Frenliinol yn eistedd. ac felly vr oedd yn ymwneyd a'r cwestiwn (cymerdawyaeth). Wedi hyny tynwyd y gwelliant yn ol. Y CAMLESYDD. Dydd Mawrth, gofynodd Mr. C!in-nit Fd • •.vards i Brif Arglwydd y Try so i lys a 0«1,: mewn sefyilfa i roddi unrhyw hyspysrwydd i'r Ty mewn perthynas i'r Ddirprwyaeth Frpnhinol addawedig ar gamlesydd. ac yn neillduol pa un a allai ef ddyweyd pa fodd yr oedd yn cael ei chyfansoddi, a pha fater- ion a ddygid ger ei bron. Atebodd Mr. Asquith fod y Prif Wcinidog yn disgwyl gallu gwneyd y trefniadau angen- rheidiol yn fuan yn nglyn a'r mat-er. YR HEN BOBL ETO. Dydd Mercher, llwyddodd Mr. O'Grady, yr aelod LIafnr dros Ddwyrain Leeds, i sicr- hau y lie cyntaf yn y tugel i gynygion ael- odau preifat- bythefnos i ddydd Iau. Rhodd- odd rybudd y byddai iddo alw sylw at yr an am flwydd-dal i hen Lobi' Mr. Asquith, mewn atebiad i M. Bottom- ley, a ddywedodd fod y eyfrifiad diweddaf yn dangos fod nifer y personau dros bump a thriugain yn 2,018,716. Er darparu blwydd-dal o 5s. yn yr wythnos byddai yn ofynol lddjmt gael y wm o 26,22o,000p. yn flynyddol. Dydd Iau, mewn atebiad i Mr. D. A. Thomas, dywedodd Mr. Birrell fod sylw dyladwy wedi ei dalu i destynau Cymreig yn rheolau newyddion y Bwrdd Addysg. BWYD I'R PLANT TLODION. Cynygiodd Mr. W. T. WTilson ail ddarllen- iad Mesur Addysg (Bwyd i'r Plant). Y mae'r Mesur yn rhoddi awdurdod i Bwy ll- gorau Addysg, pan y bydd plant yn analluog i fyned i'w hysgolion olierwydd na byddent \vedi cael bwyd, i ddarpar ymborth iddynt. Y mae llawer o rieni yn y dosbarth gweith- iol yn methu cael bwyd i'w plant, gan fod rhai gweithwyr medrus yn enill dim ond deunaw swllt yn yr wythnos.—Eiliwyd gan Mr. Herbert Paul mewn araeth gampus.— Cwynai Syr Henry Craik fod y Mesur yn diddymu y gwahaniaeth rhwng y rhieni ydynt yn gwneyd eu dyledswydd ar rhai nad ydynt. Peth arall, y mae'r Mesur yn golygu traul o ddeuddeng miliwn yn y flwyddyn.—Anode!, nladdai Syr W Collins, cadeirydd Pwyllgor Addysg Cynghor Sirol Llundain, ydyw dysgu plentyn bach fyddo yn llwgu.—Cymeradwywyd y Mesur gan Dr. Macnamara ac ereill ond cafodd ei wrth- wynebu gan Mr. Harold C-ox, ohcrwydd fod t y Mesur yn lleihau cyfrifoldeb rhieni i gynal ) eu plant, a thueddai i leihau cyflogau y dos- barth gweithiol.—Ni chafodd yr aelod an- rhydeddus neb i'w eilio.-Barnai Syr W. Anson fod yr angen am ddarparu ymborth wedi cael ei brofl, ond yr oedd y Mesur yn rhoddi awdurdod beryglus i bwyllgorau lleol. Buasai yn ddrwg ganddo ef weled arian yn cael en tynu oddiwrth addysg tuag at rotldi bwyd i blant tlodion.-Sylwodd Mr Birrell, Llywvdd Bwrdd Addysg, mai creu- londeb a gwastraff ar arian y cyhoedd yd- oedd ceisio hyfforddi plant. JIesg eu cyrph oherwydd diffyg bwyd. Os nad ellid dysgu plentyn heb ei fwydo, rhaid ei fwydo, a'r Swyddfa Addysg yw y cyfrwng cymhwysaf i gael ei roddi i ystyriaeth Pwyllgor.—Dar- llenwyd y Mesur yr ail waith. PLEIDLAIS I PERCHED. Cynygiodd Syr Charles Dilke ail ddar- lleniad Mesur i roddi pleidlais i ferched i ethol aelod Seiieddol.-Ei, fod Arglwydd R. Cecil, meddai efe, yn ffafr egwyddor y Mesur, eto yr oedd yn ci wrthwynebu oher- wydd y buasai yn creu chwyldroad yn nglyn a chyfraith pleidleisio. Gwerir tua miliwn a haner o bunau yn llai ar y Llynges y flwyddyn hon na'r llyn- edd.
