Are the head teachers of the County schools to admit whoever they like into our schools -on their own recommendation ? I think the principle is wrong, and we should put our foot down on it. This young man has gone away. He never intended carrying on in an elementary 'school. He came for hia own business, and he got our money and off he goes.—The Chairman: What is your remedy ?—Mr Phillips: I should say that we don't take the recommendations, in the first instance, of the head teachers of the County schools in admitting teachers into our schools. That is one thing. Then there should be an agreement that when a young man is selected he shall sign an agreement that he intends to carry on the duties of a teacher—The Chairman: You must leave that to the Executive.—Mr Phillips: You have not done it in the past.—The Chair- man Well, we will in the future (laughter).

Dr. Davis had submitted a number of theses; one essay treated of The Fundamental Principles of the Resurrec- tion another of The Personality of the Holy Spirit." It is noteworthy that the only other vicar of Pool who could be entitled Doctor" was the Rev Samuel Davies, Doctor of Lawq, who was appointed to this living in 1668, and whose memory is preserved by a brass wall-plate in the parish church. It is interesting to note about the earliest record of the Montgomeryshire Militia has reference to a visit which the Duke of Beaufort paid to Powis Castle in 1684 during.Dr. Davies's vicariate. The Duke and the Militia officers (with presumably the rank and file of the militiamen) attended divine service at the parish church, where a loyall sermon was preached."

A New Range in the Making.—Last week the Golfa rifle range was dismantled, and the Castle Caereinion range was begun. Mr Evan Davies is the contractor for this long- delayed work, which consists of a four- section range, up to 500 yards, south-east by south, with a natural background in Gwngefn. The range can be extended to 1,000 yards, but for 600 yards and over the firing must take place across Coedycwm lane. NOT GENTLEMEN," BUT BRETHREN."— The Welshpool branch of the Church of England Men's Society held an interestful monthly meeting last Tuesday evening on the partitioned platform of the Powis Mem- orial Church House. According the rules, the president of the branch is the incum- bent of the parish, who has the power to appoint the chairman—not a very demo- cratic or brotherly arrangement at first sight. But the Rev D. Grimaldi Davis, M.A., did not now attend, and Mr Charles Shuker, Clive-place (the senior church- warden), took the chair. There was a very representative assembly of nearly all classes of Anglican Churchmen, totalling about 40. The Vicar has appointed the Rev Douglas Morgan, B.A. (the junior curate), to be chairman of the branch, and the meeting appointed Mr W. M. Ireland (the junior churchwarden) to be hon. secretary, and Mr H. M. Williams (North and South Wales Bank) to be hon. treasurer. A committee was also elected to represent various de- partments of the church activities. BISHOP v. BREEZE.—Edwin Charles Bishop, cycle agent, Bull-street, was the plaintiff, and David Abraham Breeze, school attend- ance officer, Groes, was the defendant in a somewhat amusing case at the County Court last Wednesday. Mr Martin Woosnam, solicitor for the plaintiff, said that V-2 5s 3d was sued for, and the defendant had paid 30s and 7s 6d into Court, leaving a balance of 8s. There was a dispute about a tyre that defendant had bought from Mr Bishop; he had written to the firm-Pogson and Baker-asking whether their covers were guaranteed, and if Mr Bishop had one from them about that time. This letter was sent on by the firm to Mr Bishop, and they also wrote: "Dear Mr Bishop,—Enclosed letter received from a Mr Breeze. We have re- plied, saying you had no cover replaced by us, and that you have acted in accordance with the conditions of the cover, and we have told him we have sent this letter on to you." "I think," observed Mr Woos- nam, "he must have been under the im- pression that Mr Bishop wanted to do him out of the tyre, but I think that disposes of the matter."—"It's not that at all, ir!" exclaimed the defendant, addressing Judge Evans with as much confidence as though, instead of being defendant, he were the prosecutor in a school attendance case. Defendant then pleaded that on August 10th, 1907. he asked Mr Bishop to put a free wheel on his bicycle in place of a fixed wheel. Mr Bishop said this could not be done, and asked to be allowed to put new wheels, and he would allow 10s for the wheels and tyres and things that he took off. In one bill there was a balance on ac- count "5s 3d," and then, said defendant, Mr Bishop put on the top of the next one "6s 6d." When his attention was called to that he said he had rectified it at the bot- tom, but instead of rectifying he added another threepence more than that to the next account (laughter). Defendant de- clared that he had paid all he considered he owed.—Plaintiff: The 10s was allowed in the bill here, August 10th. Mr Breeze's, cycle was a very old machine, 15 or 16 years' old—(laughter)—and he gave me an order to cycle was a very old machine, 15 or 16 years' old—(laughter)—and he gave me an order to transform it as much as possible into a new one, up-to-date.—The Judge: Is there any- thing to show that you allowed 10s for the old wheels?—No, it wasn't charged. There are several items not put down.—Defendant: Every item was put down !-Plaintiff: I deny the old wheels are worth 10s. He's quite welcome to have them. He can have a cartload if he comes to the workshop (laughter). I submit that had I not pressed for the money you would never have had this case. He never made any complaint to me. As evidence of that, he has dealt with me for four years regularly.—The Judge gave judgment for the plaintiff, and advised the defendant "not to let these things run on like this." "Better give him the wheels," added the Judge to the plain- tiff.—Defendant: And the tyres !-Plaintiff: Yes, sir.—Mr Woosnam: We are quite tire-d of it, sir (laughter).

MACHYNLLETH. si; THE renewal of the license of the Dovey Valley Hotel, Cemmaes Road, was adjourned by the magistrates owing to Superintendent Williams having served a notice of objection on the ground that the licensee (Mr William Rees) was not a fit and proper person to hold a license. Mr Richard George, Newtown, formerly applied for a renewal, which was granted on an undertaking being given that the licensee took steps to transfer the control of the premises to a now tenant within three months. Furniture Sale.—Messrs Gillart and Sons concluded a highly successful sale on Sat- urday last at Penrallt. Some record prices were obtained, and the sale was well at- tended during the three days, competitive spirit being highly manifest throughout the whole of the proceedings. Saturday Popular Concerts.—Another of the above was held on Saturday night, when the chair was taken by Mr T. Powell, head master of the Council School. A capital programme was gone through. A competition in drawing a pig (blindfolded) in chalk on a blackboard was productive of many entrants, and roars of laughter greeted each attempt. Urban District Council.—An adjourned meeting was held on Monday, when the question of the contract for repairs and im- provements at the Town Hall was dis- cussed. It was decided to defer the making of two lock-up shops in the front of the hall, it oemg considered that same would inter- fere with the market place. The question of street refuse carting and other like con- tracts were also discussed, and the Clerk was directed to issue posters inviting ten- ders. The meeting terminated at 9-30 p.m. Show Committee.—A meeting was held on Wednesday afternoon, under the presidency of Mr John Jones, Glanmerin. A unanim- ous vote of condolence was passed with the relatives of the late Major Barry Taunton. The Chairman, Mr R. H. Buckworth, and Dr A. O. Davies spoke in eulogistic terms of the deceased. The vote was passed, all present standing. Mr Richard Jones Towyn, was appointed veterinary surgeon for the show. The Chairman offered a prize for the best gate of larch pole made on the show ground by farm servants. Golf.—Fred Branch, the local "pro. has at last succeeded in beating "Colonel Bo- gey." He went round the links on Satur- day in 39, thus beating "His Majesty" by one stroke (40 being bogey). He is thus en- titled to one dozen balls from the manu- facturers of the ball lie used in his success- ful attempt. Branch is a player of high merit, and many a "crack" will perforce have to "go under" when his challenges are issued in the near future. The club are to be congratulated upon the capabilities of the popular groundsman, who seems bent llpon making a name for himself and the "lub he so well serves. Branch is open to receive challenges from professional or ama- teur players in the district. He is open also to give lessons during afternoons.

At Edge Grove, near Shrewsbury, on March 3rd, they sold by order of the executors of the late Mr Samuel Ruscoe, 60 cattle, 112 sheep, five powerful shire mares, 34 pigs, and a large collection of agricultural imple- ments. For evrything except sheep the sale was a satisfactory one. On March 10th, for Mr John Roberts, at Ackley, Forden, they sold 124 sheep, 54 cat- tle, and 15 well-bred shire horses and colts. The cattle met a ready sale. Two cart geld- ings made 75gs and 58gs, and the shire mares 51gs, 40gs and 36gs. On March 11th, at Carnedd, Caersws, for Messrs W. and E.
