AMMANFORD. We regret to leam of the indisposition of MI. W. Lock Smith, the magistrates' clerk. He was unable to be present at the last Police Court. I At the Mission Room, Arcade, an impor- tant lecture was delivered by Mr. A. Chidzoy, Swansea, the subject being Christ's Reign on Earth." There was a large gathering. The Association Club Selection fcommittee met on Monday night and selected the follow- ing team to oppose Skewen on Saturday at Ammanford:—Goal, Cudlip; full-backs, Bob Thomas and Shaw; half-backs, A. N. Other, Morgan, and Brinkworth; forwards, Popple, Parrot, Thomas, Twist, and C. Rees. The Rev. J. Lee, the resident minister of the Wesleyan Church, read a very weli- composed paper on The Methodist Hymn Book at the Wesley Guild on Thursday evening last. The Guild, which has recently been constituted for the benefit of the younger members of the church, has several interesting items to be presented during the winter session. At the Christian Temple, on Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. D. Tecwyn Evans, B.A., Birkenhead, delivered a powerful sermon. In the evening, the rev. gentleman delivered a very interesting lecture on Ann Griffiths, the Welsh Hymnologist." The chair was occupied by Mr. W. Cathan Davies, presi- dent of the local Free Church Council. There were large attendances both afternoon and evening. At the Public Hall, Tumble, on Saturday evening last, the Ammanford Choir gave ren- derings of Ar Doriad Dydd and God goeth up." There was a large audience, and the choir received a great ovation. Mr. Gwilym R. Jones conducted in his usual inimitable manner. During the evening, solo numbers were given by Madam Bessie Morris, Mr. W. T. Rees, Mr. W. T. Rhys, and Mr. T. J. Bowen (violin). Relvryskow, the world's champion wrestler, is attracting great crowds to the Palace this week. His challenge has been accepted on more than one occasion by local men. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, Mr. Jimmy Morris, a local athlete, gave an excellent ex- hibition, and was thrown in a time of 9 minutes 2 eeconds. This evening, Relwyskvw has offered and accepted a challenge to wrestle Mr. W. H. Crowe, of the Lucania Billiard Hall. This contest should prove an enormous attraction. At the Welsh Vegetable Show, held at Newport, Mon., last week, the winner of the Daily Herald Silver Challenge Shield for the best single exhibit was Mr. J. W. Jones, Tirydail Square. The event attracted a keen competition. The coveted prize had to be won out outright. Mr. Jones featured' 18 curate, the juckes commenting on the I uniqueness of the quality. The shield is valued £20, and was open to members of societies affiliated to the Monmouthshire Fede- ration of Allotment Holders' Associations.* The successful grower is a son of Mr. John Jones, also a well-known Amman Valley com- petitor. A notable fact is that Mr. Jones held back his collection from the other classes, to enable him to gain superiority in the more important section. One of the finest selection of artistes took part in a reception accorded to Priv. Teddy Morgan, of Maesyquaire Road, the last of the soldier-members to return to the Christian Temple. Priv. Morgan, it can be said, has served for a considerable period, and has seen active service in Mesopotamia and elsewhere. The vestry was well filled on Monday night, and the proceedings, over which the respected pastor, the Rev. D. Tegfan Davies, presided, was one of the most enthusiastic of events promoted by the church. A Gwaun-cae- gurwen party attended, and provided a capital programme of songs and recitations. These artistes included the renowned Madame Ceinwen Morris-Thomas, Miss Sarah Evan6, Miss Jennie Evans (Gamant), Mr. Howells, a prominent baritone, and Miss Mayveril Jones, a capable elocutionist. Mi. Gwilym R. Jones very ably accompanied. A general meeting of the Ammanford and District Allotment and Gardeners' Association was held on Saturday evening last, when it was decided to hold a horticultural showto- wards the end of August, 1920. It was decided, in addition, that the Urban Council be approached with the view of exercising their powers under the Land Settlements (Facilities) Act. The effect of these pro- vision* is that, failing acquisition by agree- ment, it will only be necessary for the Coun- cil to make a compulsory order, and then it would be possible for them to take possession of land on the expiration of fourteen days' notice. The question of running an Allot- ment and Gardeners' Association candidate for the next Urban Council election was under discussion. The secretary if Mr. S. Jones, Duffryn Stores, Tirydail Square, who would be glad if other secretaries of similar shows proposed to be held in the district would communicate with him, enclosing dates, so that there will be no clashing of interests.

BRYN -A*M-M.AN. A diagram ot the proposed memorial tablet ts the fallen heroes of Gibea Chapel is nvW on view at that edifice. Special preaching meetings werehelJ at the Gospel Hall on Sunday and Monday, when the Rev. Joseph James, Cwmbach, Aberdare, delivered pointed sermons to large assembli s, Mr. John Howells led the sing- ing, and Mr. J. Pantycelyn Jones accom- panied. There passed away, on Sunday morning, one of the eldest inhabitants of Brynamman, in the per-a of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, Cwm- tarw Road. She had reached the borders of 88, and up to the last few weeks kept excep- tionally sprightly for one of her years. She hailed from Gwynfe, and was highly Je- spected. There k considerable diversity of opinion in the village as to whether the chief choir should compete at Barry National. A strong element, which is probably in favour of the affirmative, declare that the public should be called together to deal with and decide the question. It is not improbable that the two local orchestras will enter the arena at Barry, and there, with the Juvenile Choir, Bryn- amman will be represented in competitions not participated in before. In view of the sectional character affairs have taken, there is reason to fear that choral anity at Brynamman, for Barry at least, is impossible. The anniversary meetings of Siloam Chapel were held under most favourable climatic conditions and throughout Sunday. Unusually large congregations were treated to effective spiritual diiscouress by the Revs. W. Saunders, Pontycymmer, and Jubilee Young, Felinganol. Mr. John Hopkin led the praise, and Mr. Morgan Lewis presided at the organ. This church some time ago decided to go in for a pipe organ, and a large sum of money was collected for that purpose. Owing to the soaring prices of these instruments, it has since been decided to postpone the purchase for some time. The present organ is deemed sorely inadequate to cope with the vocal volume of the church's choir. During the past weeks, thanksgiving ser- vices have been held at various worshipping places. These in most cases took the form 01 prayer meetings. At St. Catherine's Church, on Sunday, thanksgiving meetings were held, and were well attended. The edifice was appropriately decorated with choice season flowers and fruits for the occa- sion. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. D. Spenser Jones, B.A., Ammanford, who delivered edifying sermons. The anthem, i" Bounteous Harvest," was sung on Sunday evening by the choir, Miss Lilian Evans, Brynamman Hotel, taking the solo, which she sang in good style. Miss Sal Jones presided at the organ. The order of services was as follows:—Morning at 8, communion; 10.30, Welsh sermon 2.30, litany and sermon; and 6, English sermon. The meetings throughout were well attended, many having to retrace their steps on Sunday evening for want of seats.

CROSS HANDS. A concert was held at the Public Hall on Saturday eveni ng last. The chair was occu- pied by Mr. Gwilym Jones. Mr. Gethin Jones was the accompanist. The artistes m- eluded Miss Evans, Llaneily (harpist) Miss H. J. Jones, Carmarthen (contralto) Miss Jones, Llpndyssui (soprano) and Messrs. D. Harry, R.A.M., Llwynhendy, and H. Harries, Pwll.

I LLANDILO. At a clearing out sale held at a fatal a few miles out of Llandilo, the rental of which was £50 per annum, the sum ef £ 1,500 wat realised from the stock, crop and faming implements only. The household fainkme and effects were not sold. Anniversary services were held at Jeru- salem, Gwynfe, on Saturday and Sunday last, the special preacher being the Rev. T. Gwyn Thomas (son of the late and respected pastor, the Rev. Wm. Thomas) and D. Bryniog Thomas, Gwynfryn, Ammanford. Eloquent and instructive sermons were delivered to large and appreciative audiences. The Ebeoezer Guild in previous years has been quite an attraction to the young people of the church and town. The committee once more have prepared a varied and interesting programme, and with an energetic pastor and a band of strenuous co-workers they can look forward for another prosperous season. Mr. Ben Griffiths and Miss A. M. Smith are act- ing as co-secretaries, and Mr. J. W. Thomas, County Press, treasurer. Anniversary services in connection with the Salem Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Llandilo, were held on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, when excellent sermons were delivered to large congregations by the Rev. Robert Beynon, of Abercrave. Otiter minis- ters present were the following, vi:—Revs. Wm. Davies, The Walk; G. Edmund Williams (Baptist), and H. W. Harries, Penrheol (Ind.). The Rev. Lemuel Jones, I pastor, conducted the services. Miss Thomas, Wellfield House, New Road, the organist of the chapel, presided at the organ. Mr. John Edwards, Derwendeg, Ffairfach, conducted the singing. A public meeting, under the auspices of the League of Nations, was held at che Shire Hall, Llandilo, on Monday evening, the 20th inst., Mr. H. W. Jones, J.P., Chairman of the Llandilo Urban District Council, pre- siding. Mr. John Hinds, M.P., and Major W. P. Wheldon, D.S.C., and others addressed the meeting. There was a large attendance. It was decided to iform a branch at Llandilo, and the following were appointed as a eon)mittee, viz.:—Messrs. John Stephens, George W. Jenkins, G. Gwyn Jones, Sergt.- Instructor R. D. Crabb, Ald. W. Davies, Archdeacon Robert Williams, M.A., Capt. W. L. Roberts, and ex-H.M.I.S. Daniel J James, M.A., the latter being appointed con- vener. The fishing season came to a close on Tuesday, the 14th inst. It was the worst season experienced for many years. This was due to the excellent weather which prevailed almost throughout the season and the low state of the water, it being what anglers term gin colour. The anglers of the upper reaches of the Towy and its tributaries com- plain very much that the net fishermen are allowed to net the river under such conditions. When one compares the revenue th, Fishery Board receive from the net fishermen and the rod and line fishermen and the resul; of their catches, this would seem reasonable. Perhaps the Board will consider the matter. Only two fresh run salmon are known to have been caught in the district of Llandilo this season, and the number of sewin are very few indeed. At the Llandilo Bridge Auction Mart held this week, there was a very big entry of fat cattle. Two hundred and fifty wer; brought in, of which 97 were graded, most of which were well finished cattle, some being of a super-grade quality. The entry of sheep was up to the average, but only a fifth of what I was required on permit; hence a few cattle were substituted for sheep. There was an average supply of small pigs, and trade in this department was not brisk except for the stronges ones. Prices ranged from 27s. to £ 5 5s. There were about 35 calves, for which there was a brisk demand, and these sold at prices ranging from £ 2 to £8 apiece. Three cows and calves met with a fair demand, and made up to £50. The auc- tioneer was Mr. W. N. Jones, J.P., Dyffryn, Ammanford. The graders were Messrs. James Hobbs, the Home Farm, Golden Grove, and Jonathan Jones, butcher, Amman- ford. The super-grader was Mr. John Thomas, of Burry Port. The wedding took place on Wednesday, at the Llangathen Parish Church, of P.C. William Proth6ro (clerk in the office of the Deputy Chief Constable), attached to the Carmarthenshire Police Force and stationed at Llandilo, and Miss Esther Griffiths, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Griffiths, Saw Mills, Llandilo. The bride, who was charmingly attired, was given away by her father. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Alexander Williams, vicar, in the presence of a large number of friends of both parties. After the ceremony, the happy couple motored to Blend Road, Llandilo, the home of the bride, where the wedding break fast was partaken of, and later in the day the happy couple took train for Cliitm, Bristol, where the honeymoon is being spent. A very successful opening of the Yoimg People's Guild, beating all records of pre- vious years, was held at the Ebenezer Bap- tist Schoolroom last Tuesday evening, when about 140 were entertained to a grand social tea. The tables were laden with all sorts of dainties. kindly given by a number of the ladies, and were presided over by Mis. D. Peters, Mrs. Edmund Williams, Mrs. T. C. Hurley, and Miss K. Owen, B.A., assisted by a large number of willing hands. A hearty welcome was given to all, and a very enjoyable evening was speat. After the tea was over, a miscellaneous conceit was held, over which the Rev. G. Edmund Williams (pastor) officiated. The following items were gone through:-Pianoforta duets by Miss May George and Miss Muriel Davies, Blende Road; solo, Miss II. Davies, Pistillgwyn; solo, Mr. Ifor James, Rhydyffynnon; solo, "The Gift," Mrs. Hugh Williams; duet, Misses M. Davies and Anne Davies, Pistill- gwyn; solo, There's a Land," Miss Anne James, Rhydyffynnon; solo, Firom Dark to Dawn," Miss Ross, M.A.; recitation, "Nurse Cavell," Mrs. W. Davies, New Road; solo, Mountain Lovers, Miss Gwyneth Davies; cello solo, Miss Burnett, Crescent Road. The accompanists were Mr. J. Beynon, B.Sc., Mrs. Daniels, Alan Road, and Miss Nancy Jones, Greenfield Place. The concert was closed by singing the Doxology.

TYCROES. 11 The funeral of the late Mr. Ivor Anthony, son of Mr. John Anthony, Heulwen Villa, took place on Saturday last, the place of interment being Moriah burial-ground. There was a large and representative gathering. The deceased was 26 years of age, and fell a victim to the white scourge—consumption. He had been ill for a considerable period, and 1 bore his illness with Christian patience and fortitude. A brother of the deceased was some time ago reported missing and feared killed in France. The Revs. D. J. Moses, B.A. (pastor), D. S. Davies (Bethesda), and T. Roberts (Penybank) officiated.

I Eisteddfod at Ammanford. I I A GREAT SUCCESS. I A record crowd attended the awsal M* teddfod held in the Church Room, Amman- ford on Saturday last, under the presidency of Major J. Lloyd, Hillside. The entries also exceeded expectations. The adjudicators were:-Musk, Mr. J. Davies, schoolmaster, Llandebie; and literary, Councillor John Harries (Lrlwyn), Bettws. Miss M. Lilian Roberts, the organist of St. Michael's Church, was the accompanist, and she was ably assisted by Miss Katie Williams. Mr. Pryce Jones, the secretary, worked exceedingly hard to ensure the success of the event. The trea- surers, Messrs. J. Taomas and Morgan Morgan, also contributed their share to the movement. There were a goodly number of competitors from- up the Valley, and the chief recitation, which attracted several notables in the elocutionary world, provided a good deal of enthusiasm. Llanferch," the successful competitor, proved an easy winner, and the result was well received. Awards:— Boys' solo (under 12: Cyril Bevan, Crynant.

I Welsh Dramatic Art I NOTABLE WEEK AT SWANSEA. I With the ob ject of encouraging Welsh dramatic art and for increasing the interest in Welsh drama, which received such an incen- tive some years ago under the patronage of Lord Howard de Walden, a number of lead- ing Swansea Welshmen organised a Welsh Dramatic competition week, and so much success has attended the organisation that on Monday night the promoters were able to commence the competitions at the Albert Hall with the production of Asgre Un" by the Trinity (Pontardulais) Company. This company has been in existence a long time, and has produced several plays with con- spicuous success, and consequently it is need- less to say it attracted a large audience, which fully appreciated a very successful and artistic production. This was followed on Tuesday by Y Pwyllgor," Ble Ma Fa," and Noson o Farrug by the Capel Als Company, Llan- elly; and on Wednesday Aeres Maesy- felin," by the Gwaun-cae-gurwen Company. This (Thursday) afternoon Y Briodas Ddirgel, by the Tabernacle Company, Morris ton; this evening Ephraim Harris, by Mr. Dan Matthew's Company, Pontar- dulais; to-morrow (Friday) night Ar y Groesffordd," by the Plasmarl Company; and on Saturday night Maesymeillicwi," by the Siloh Company, Pontardulais. To-day (Thursday) Lord Howard de Walden will arrive at Swansea and will attend the productions, and to-morrow (Fri- day) he and a number of prominent Welsh- men in the district will be entertained at luncheon by Mr. David Matthews, M.P. The committee have provided accommodation at each performance for between 40 and 50 stud ents at the second ary schools in the town.

THE ARCADE AS A PLAYGROUND. To the Editor, Amman Valley Chronicle. Sir ,-As a business man" of many years* standing at Ammanford, I have been very much surprised to notice the tumult created by the children within the walls of the Arcade. During the time a llowed for play there is one continuous hub Dub, the children utilising the Arcade as a p ay ground. I have known several of the trac esmen in that locality to complain of the diicy state of their windows, caused by the cbil lren, and have personally noticed acts of indigency being committed in the vicinity. Cannct the children be confined to the school grounds?—Yours, &c., CONCERNED.

OLD-AGE PENSIONERS DYING FROM STARVATION. To the Editor, Amman Valley Chronicle. Sir,—Your readers will probably have noticed within the last few days that a White Paper has been issued, in which it is stated that in this Merrie England of ours some 25 people have died of starvation, amongst them a number of old-age pensioners. What a commentary on the country's philanthropy! Amongst these victims of cruel fate there were doubtless women who had gone through the pains of child-bearing, and afterwards rearing up a family. Who can live on 7/6 a week to-day, however humble his or her needs? It would be fair better, although it carries with it the stigma of pauperism, that all these poor people sought outdoor relief, prooided Guardians did not revert to a prac- tice far too common some time ago of fixing the relief a little under the amount of this miserable pension. Ammanford and its repre- sentatives on the Board of Guardians have always lent a ready ear to the calls of the wor. Might we not hope that an united effort will be taken up by local public bodies in the way of awakening our present capi- talistic Government to a sense of its duty to the poor and d.efencelesa,-I am, &c., HEN BERERIN.

BRISTOL EXPERIMENTS HELP IN THE RAT CAMPAIGN. The two approved fat poisons for domest i c use or where food is exposed are squills, which is an onion bulb grown on the Mediterranean Coast, and barium carbonate, which is a mineral from Derbyshire mines. Owing to the high cost of squills and the difficult method of its preparation, barium carbonate is generally preferred, having been extensively used by the Indian and American Governments, whilst the fact that it is less than one quarter the price of squill com- pounds is also in its favour in these days. Hearing of the success attending some preliminary experiments with a compound containing barium made by Lawson & Co. (Bristol) Ltd., the authorities responsible for the recent official investigation into methods of rat destruction sent an official down to Bristol for several days, in order to test this product on the spot. Hundreds of baits were laid in a variety of places, and further trials made in other parts of the country, with the result that (in the words of the official report on barium) "with one exception a definite reduc4on in the number of rats resulter from our fts, and we satisfied ourselves that it was as effective as the dangerous poisons such as phosphorus and arsenic. One badly infested canteen treated by the official over three months ago is still absolutely free from rats, and other places give equally goed reports." Rat-Quit, the preparation referred to, is concentrated in paste form, which keeps indefinitely, ready for use. It COCULing ait4radfive agents lirrestible to ;rodients and fatal in effect, the fatal dose being extremely small. It is not surprising that all of the important municipalities from Leith to Bournemouth, as well as Bristol, are adopting it for use in their Rat Campaign.

CWMAMMAN. Congratulation sto Misses Eva and Chris- tina Cook on their successes last week, the former winning the penillion singing competi- tion at Carmarthen, and the latter at the Church Room Eisteddfod at Ammanford on Saturday. A most enjoyable and successful concert was teld on Saturday evening last at the Colliers Arms, Gamant, in aid of the funds of the Gamant United A.F.C. The com- mittee had brought together a splendid selec- tion of artistes, which included the iollowing: —Messrs. Tom Thomas, Griff Lewis, F. and J Watkins (duet), Howell Madge, D. H. Jones, Frank Morgan, Gomer Morris, Will Benjamin, Jim Hurley, Joe Oram, Will Allen, M. Richards, B. R. Evans (bone solo), J. Thomas and Ted Ellis (duet), and Mr. Robert Wilson and parly (musical selec- tions) The accompaniments were in the capable hands of Mr. Bob Wilson. In the unavoidable absence of the hon. president of the club, Mr. W. S. Wardlaw, from whom a most encouraging letter was received, the secretary occupied the chair. During the whole course of the three hours* entertain- ment harmony reigned supreme, and con- cluded with the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau and Auld Lang Syne." En- couraged by the success of this effort, others are sure to follow. The artistes are to be complimented on the able manner in which they contributed to the proceedings.

LLANDOVERY. I There was a large attendance at the funeral oi Mrs. Davies, wife of Mr. Davies, Fron Farm, who passed away after a long and painful illness. The remains were in-terred at Llandinga* Churchyard. The Rev. Joseph Jenkins (C.M.), pastor of Tabernacle, offi- ciated at the house, and the Rev. D. Edmondes-Owen, B.A., at the church and graveside. The death has occurred at an advanced age of Mr. T. Ll. Morgan, Medical Hall, Llandovery's oldest tradesman. Deceased, who was a native of Glanbrydan, near Llan- dilo, leaves a widow and three children. In the long ago he was a member of the Llan- dovery Town Council. For many years* he was treasurer of the local auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He was a zealous Churchman, and until enfeebled by advancing years was a regular attendant and teacher at the Sunday School. He was widely read, a good local historian, and the owner of a varied library of books. As a member of the firm of Messrs. Morgan and Francis, he was for years an active figure in the aerated water business, and at one time carried on an extensive business as a sheep dip manufacturer. Farming also claimed his attention at one period, when he resided for the most part at Llwynwormwood Park, the lake in the park during his tenancy being well stocked with fish. I j The remains of the late Mr. T. Ll. Morgan, Medical Hall, Llandovery's oldest tradesman, j were laid to rest at Llandingat Churchyard. A large assembly of sympathisers paid their last tribute. These included the chief inhabi- tants of the town and neighbourhood. The Revs. D. Edmondes-Owen, vicar of Llan- dovery; H. LlQyd, vicar of St. Mary's; and the Warden of the College, the Rev. W. W. ■ Poole-Hughes, officiated. The chief mourners were:—Mrs. Morgan (widow) the Misses Mary and Maggie Morgan (daughters) Master Thomas Lloyd Morgan (son) Mr. and Mrs. J. R. James (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) Mr. David James, Dolgarn (brother-in-law) Miss Mary James, Grove House Restaurant (sister-in-law) Mr. Stanley James and Miss Julia James, Maesygwandde (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) Mr. John James, Brynamman (brother-in-law) Mr. Wm. Land, Clyncoch, Llanwrda (brother-in- law) Mr. Willie and Miss Polly Land (nephew and niece) Mrs. Harries, Pwllhen (cousin) Mr. Edward Lewis, Gellyfelen (cousin) Mr. Benjamin Davies, Rhyw, Siloh (cousin) Miss Blodwen Land (niece) Miss Gweneth James, Brynamman (niece). Friends and relatives sent beautiful floral tributes.
