NEWTOWN AND ITS MARKETS. The Local Authority to Assume Control A new chapter in the history of Newtown markets and fairs is likely to be started in conse- quence of what transpired at the Urban Council meeting on Thursday evening, when the Markets Committee reported as follows: c, As the Council are a mare, negotiations have been pending for some months between the special committee appointed by the Council and the solicitor to the E&rl of Powis for the conveyance of the market rights of Newtown to the Council. After a good deal of correspondence and a number of interviews with the Earl's solicitors and Mr Addie, the Earl's agent, your committee have induced them to convey the rights in considera- tion of the Council's paying the sum of .£50 and all costs incurred by his lordship. Your com- mittee are of opinion that it would be in the interests of the town to agree to the above terms, and they strongly recommend the Council to act accordingly." Mr Ford said he had great pleasure in moving the adoption ot that report, letuarking: This is a matter which was brought before the Council some years ago, and has been dragging its length alone until now. We all thought we could get control of the markets by simply passing a resolu- tion and adopting a certain clause that was pointed out to us. But after the bye-laws relat- ing to the markets had been threshed out at several meetings we had them primed and sent up to the Local Government Board, who raised a question which has taken until now to solve. It will give us control over the markets, and over those people who come from a distance and squat down in any place they like, incommodate traffic, and annoy a great, many ratepayers. The largest ratepayers have the greatest grievances. I this will put a stop to them. We ought, I thin*, to acknowledge the courtesy and kindness which the Committee have had from Mr Forrester Addie and Lord Pon-is's solicitors in Shrewsbury. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr Addie and some- one else hero, and bad the additional pleasure of going down to Powis Castle to meet the &olicitor and Mr Addie. Parenthetically I may remark that on that occasion our Cl-rk aecompanied us, and marched us off to the hotel and treated us very generously. Very likely he will not forget to put it in his bill (laughter). However, we took full advantage of his kindness. In proposing the adoption of this report, I believe it will be productive of very great good and also of con- siderable income, according to the scale that has been adopted. A communication has got to be made to the Local Government Hoard about the matter, but I hope no further difficulty will arise. The Chairman (Mr Cooke): I am sure many of you will be pleased to second. Mr George: I second it. Mr Evans: I have vory much p easure in sup- porting it. This has bien the secret which the Council ha3 had to hold for some years, and we are now glad to think that it can be revealed to the public. It explains why the Council have not put in operation before now the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act. I am glad to think we have been met in an honourable way. Although it will cost prjbably a penny rate to convey the transfer of the market rights from the Earl of Powis to the Council, I believe the money will soon return into the Council's Exchequer by means of tolls and stallage rents. It is only right and just that most people who come to trade here should be called upon to pay. What has been rolling into the pockets of private individuals Vlill now be transferred to the ratepayers' pockets. Mr Pryce: Shall we have the control of the abeey pens which The Chairm-io I don't think we should at present go into details as to exactly what we can do this evening. We are now simply taking the ■rights which Lord Powis has. There will be a further discussion later on. I think this is a step in the right direction; we have been agitating for this for some ime. Our bye-laws have been frustrated in consequence of our inability to control the market I think we are also greatly indebted to our Clerk in this matter. He has taken a great deal of trouble- [lr Forster: Hear, hearJ-iu attending meeting after meeting, and conducting correspondence with solicitors on the other side-work which has taken more time than Mr Ford could tell you of in his brief speech. The report was unanimously adopted.

WELSHPOOL- J Music LOVERS will miss a treat if they do not attend the concert which will take place in the Town Hall next Thursday nieht. Personal particulars appear on another p'Bge in our advertizing columns, and a first-class programme has been prepared. u T PLEA FOR POVERTY-STRICKEN INVALIDS.— it seems to me really inconceivable that we people in Welshpool should allow any poor, sick people to linger away and die simply because they haven't got the few pounds necessary to send them away, where they would have a fair chance of recovery "—Mr D. J. Jones at the annual meeting of the Welshpool Nursing Institute. HONOUR FOR ARCHDEACON THOMAS. The Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland have honoured the Ven Archdeacon Thomas by electing him an Honorary Fellow of the Society. The Society has only eltiven Hon. Fellows. As our readers know the Venerable Archdeacon has long been promin- ently identified with antiquarian research, and has been chairman of the Powysland Club and Cllmbrhu Archaeological Society for many years. AN ALLEVIATIVE;2,425 visirs were made by I the district nurses, and 98 patients were returned as convalescents at a cost of .£329 and with an income of J6310. Such was reported at the annual meeting of the Victoria Nursing Institute on Thursday, when Miss F. E. Howell presided. There were other interesting facts and figures presented at the meeting. Miss Mytton, Mansion House, bad suggested a convalescent fund, where- by patients may go away and return able to con- tinue their work, with the suggestion she sent £ 50, and this had been increased by smaller amounts. A boy and girl patient had been a- sisted in this way. Mr Charlf-s Shuker also an- nounced that there were many caseR in the town of persons who were exceedingly poor and there perhaps, was illness in the house, but the people of Welshpool had been most sympathetic and generous in keeping forward these different move- ments, Testimonials to the Institute were read by Mr Simpson Jones from various quartfrs —The Countess of Povis was le-elected President and Miss F. E. Howell vice-p"esident. Mr Simpson Jones was re-elected secretary, and Mr D. J Jones treasurer, on the resignation of Mr A. H. Jones BIBLE SOCIETY'S ANNUAL MEETING The appearance of the Vicar (Rev. D. Grimaldi Davis) as chairman was a feature of the yearly meeting of the Welshpool auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society in the Council Chamber last night. But, as usual, the audience proved to be overwhelmingly Nonconformist. The hey. T. C. Edwards, the well-known Welsh Methodist I minister, was the deputation," and in him the Vicar recognized one, who was a fellow-uildr- graduate at Oxford, years ago, but," said the Vicar, I am very glad to find tLat time has dealt kindly and gently with him as well ts my- self." In his introductory remarks, the Vicar proved that, though he had been stationed mxuy years in the parish of Pool, he has not forgot teu his native Cymric language; he quoted with pure accent not only the motto Beibl i ba.wb o bcbl y byd," but also the Welsh hymn Dyma Fei >1 Anwyl Iesu." The report of the hon. secr«t*>y (Mr Richard Powell) showed that last year X14 had been sent from the Welsbpool auxiliary to the Parent Society, about X3 less then in previous years. Mr Edwards expressed the hope that tie presence of the Vicar was a {promise and prelude to better things. It would be easy to find people in Welshpool who might make up the deficiency.

Chief Inspector of the Welsh Department of the Elementary Schools in Wales, paid a visit to Machynlleth and distric last week, and was very pleased with both school* at Machynlleth. In a conversation with Mr Richard goer,, J.P., member of the County Educa- tion Authority, Mr Edwards expressed the desire to have a number of the elementary school child- ren taught carpentry and cookery work at the Intermediate School. He thought in Machynlleth it could easily be carried out, as a workshop and kitchen are provided in the Intermediate School buildings. Mr Edwards said he was anxious that this should be carried throughout tho principality

LLANFAIR. ACCIDENT.—As Mr William Davies, Tynewydd Gosen, Lianerfyl, was about to leave the Black Lion Hotel yard in charge of a horse and cart, about 6 o'clock on Friday evening (fair day\ the horse bolted down the bank, knocked Mr Davies down, and rounding the corner of the North and South Wales Bank ran wildly down Bridge-street, where, opposite Mr Evan Davies's shop, it collided with a cart to which were attached a mule and a donkey belonging to Mr Evan Davies, carrier. Pontsycoed. The latter was standing opposite the above shop for unloading. The force of the impact brought the animals and cart to a position of right angle to the street when they were knocked down and pushed along the ground for some yards, and subiequently run over by the furious horse and the cart. Mrs Wm Davies all through held to the reins and clung tenaciously to her seat in the cart. The donkeys were able to proceed homewards shortly afterwards. Mr Davies is suffering from a bruised shoulder and the shock caused by the accident.

At a meeting of the Board of Management of the Montgomeryshire Infirmary on Fri- day, the Chairman (Mr Alfred Ford) made feeling allusion to the passing of Dr Pur- chas, who, he said, had shown an unselfish devotion towards the suffering who were brought within that institution. He had served the infirmary not only from a sur- gical and medical point of view, but exerted himself to amplify certain apparatus for the operating theatre, and otherwise make the institution efficient. Dr Purchas took a per- sonal interest in all cases brought under his notice there, and all associated with the in- firmary lamented his loss. Dr Jones, in seconding the Chairman's proposal that a message of condolence be sent from the Board* to the bereaved widow and family, remarked that he felt the removal of Dr Purchas personally, and was sure that the institution had lost an excellent medical officer, and a gentleman thoroughly in sym- r' pathy with his work. The motion was warmly supported by Mr J. Danily, Mr W. P. Phillips, and Mr P.

It is with deep sorrow that we have to announce the death of Mr Stephen Higgs, Tynewydd, Carno (late of Rhosyrhaidd), on Tuesday last, at the ripe age of 80 years. Mr .Higgs was a man held in very high es- teem by all who knew him, and his funeral on Saturday was attended by a very large number. He was a fine type of man, con- scientious and fearless, and yet kind and sympathetic; a zealous Liberal and Non- conformist, a faithful member of the Cal- vinistic Methodist Church, where he held the office of deacon for 27 years, and a Sun- day school teacher of no mean ability for upwards of forty years; a man of exem- plary character, a good neighbour, and a kind friend. Carno people are deeply mourning their loss, and are earnestly pray- ing that his Christian influence may long remain to remind them of his Godly life.
