RHAYADER. Another of our brave boys has just arrived for a short furlough, viz., Tom H. Jones, of the Royal En- gineers, son of Mr and Mrs Philip Jones, Old Stores, who has been in France for two years and, so far, es- caped unscathed. May he continue so. Before the local justices, on Wednesday, Pryce Rogers (Garter Hall, Llanyre) was summoned by Mr H. P. Jones (school attendance-officer) for neglecting to send his child to school regularly, and was fined in the costs, 5/6. Messrs. George Dayrell and McDougall (Builth Wells), at the petty sessions, on Wednesday, summoned John Bevan (Xewbridge-on-Wye) for unlawfully having in his possession an unseasonable salmon on the 9th ult. P.c. Worthing proved the case, and defendant was fined 21, including costs. Another sitting of the Parish Council took place on Tuesday, Mr R. Hughes, C.C., presiding. The object of the meeting was to further consider the question of garden allotments. Six had sent in written applica- tions, and as many by word of mouth. It wa,s decided to secure for them, if passible, the Oak field and a portion of the Cocks field. In all probability they will succeed. Thus they will secure two precious and con- venient plots in the heart of the town. At the petty sessions, before Rev. W. E. Prickard (chairman) and Messrs. R. Morgan, Evan Morgan and E. W. Jones, on Wednesday-, Herbert Jones (Brynffin, Llanyre, farmer's son), Reginald Jones (Brynffin), Lloyd Evans (Brynbodw), and Edwin Rogers (Bodkin Hall), were charged with loitering outside a place of worship during divine service at Llanyre Parish Church on the 28th ult. P.c. Williams stated the facts. Mr E. P. Careless (solicitor, Llandrindod Wells) defended, and the case was dismissed. Mr and Mrs Bacon, Warwick Hotel, have given to king and country four of their sons. Sub.-Lieut. Harry Bacon is second in command on the "Fire Drake." He has seen much service in the Royal Navy in north, south, east and west. He is at home at present for a short leave, and he brings with him a breeze from the briny ocean wherever he moves. Mrs Bacon is also at present in the town. Colour-Sgt. James.A. Bacon is in Dover acting there as secretary of his regiment and forming the units. Signaller Walter Bacon is in France in charge of a signalling office. Pte W. Bacon, the youngest, who was greatly missed from the town when he joined the colours, is in France. He recently left hospital, having suffered with his eyes. He is now well. Surely all this is a family record, and withal a quartette of brothers of exemplary characters of whom any parents may be proud.
LLANDRINDOD WELLS. I
LLANDRINDOD WELLS. I Lieut. R. M. Morgan (County School) has been at- tached to the South Wales Borderers, and entered upon his new duties on Tuesday this week. The eminent physician, Sir Fortescue Fox has paid a high tribute to British Spas, including Llandrindod ¡ Wells for their war service to wounded soldiers. Pioneer Stanley M. Harris, son of Mr and Mrs Jolin-I Harris, Alexandra Road, was home for the week-end for his last leave before crossing to France. j We regret to state that Mr John Langford (Denham Terrace) has met with an accident at a Munition Works. He wa.s crushed between a dray and a wall, two or three ribs being crushed. We are glad to learn that Miss Ross, of Temple Lodge, has come in for a magnificent windfall. One state- ment is that her income will be £1,000 per annum and another that it will be nearer £ 2,000. Rev. J. Jones, B.Sc., presided at the consecration meeting of the Baptist C.E. on Tuesday, and the paper was read by Miss Maud Hall. The pastor and Mr Hall gave addresses, and Mr Tom Luther contributed a solo. At a meeting of the sub-committee of the Joint Ad- vertising Committee, on Monday, it transpired that the advance in the price for printing and the difficulty in obtaining art paper has made the publication of the souvenir for this season impossible. Fortunately, there are sufficient books in hand to cover this, season. At Hereford and Radnor Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, held at Hereford on Thursday, it was decided at the request of the Llandrindod Wells meeting, to hold the April monthly meeting at the Spa instead of the March gathering, which has been can- celled. Mr David Griffiths, grocer, left the town on Monday to take up an appointment in North Wales. His de- parture will be much regretted, a.s he has been very ac- tive in church work. He was the assistant superinten- dent of the Presbyterian Sunday School and the leader of the primary department. Owing to bursts in connection with the heating ap- paratus there was a fusion of the Wesleyan and Bap- tist congregations at the former church on Sunday evening, when the Rev. James Jones, B.Sc., preached. We understand that for the next few weeks the Baptist Church will meet at the old chapel in Waterloo Road. A public foreign missionary meeting was held at the Friends' Meeting House on Friday evening, when Mr H. D. Phillips presided. The Rev. James Jones, B.Sc., offered prayer. and a most interesting address was given by Mr Henry T. Roper, of Ceylon. Miss Rehe James presided at the organ. Mr Roper also addressed meet- ings at the Meeting House on Sunday. At the weekly meeting of the Congregational Guild on Tuesday, a miscellaneous programme was. provided. It included songs by Misses E. Hsirst and M. Davies, the Rev. D. Arthur Davies, Messrs. Jamsen Griffith and G. Roberts; quartettes bv Misses Hurst and Davies and the Rev. D.

Broad (Knighton) gave a very impressive and timely address on "Our indebtedness to the past, and our duty to the present and the future." Special hymns were sung, and Miss May Bound gave a beautiful rendering of "Songs in the night." Miss A. Bound presided at the harmonium.

The licences were therefore all renewed.

KNIGHTON. I Pte. T. J. Marpole (Herefordshire Regiment), of Knighton, has been wounded on active service. A dance, which was well-attended, was held at the Norton Arms Hotel on Friday evening, in aid of the funds of the Red Cross Society. Refrehments were provided, and the music was supplied by an orchestra, under the leadership of Mr C. W. Graves. We regret to record the death of Mr John Edwards (Exchange Buildings), which occurred on Wednesday morning, at the age of 67, after a few days' illness. Rev. H. O. Grime officiated at the funeral on Friday afternoon, which was attended by Mr R. Edwards, Clun (brother), Mrs Bright, Leominster (niece), Mr C. Evans* (Knighton), and other friends. Rev. D. G.

Miss Bennett also gave some recitations. A YCn enjoyable evening was The Knighton Girl' School War Savings Association commenced business on Thursday morning, with Mrs C. W. Graves as president. Mi's E. Nott secretary, and Miss B. Hamar, treasurer. before the end of the week 12 war certificates had been purchased, and on Monday (12th inst.) the receipts amounted to £ 7 Os 3d. or a little more than the value of nine more certificates. Knighton schools have made a splendid beginning, and it is gratifying to know that while the teachers are taking up the extra work with commendable zeal, the parents of many of the children are doing all they ¡ can for the success of the scheme. The first War Savings Association in the Knighton district was formed on the 5th inst. at the Boys School, under the secretaryship of Mi-s 31. James, the senior assistant-mistress. The headmaster (Mr E. E. Perfect), who is acting as treasurer, had given special lessons on the great need for all to do their best to save and so help their country in these critical times, and the parents responded splendidly to the appeals made through their children. A total of R15 10s was collected on the first day, 18 certificates being bought outright I and two others allotted by ballot to Hugh Griffiths and Willie Harris. In connection with the erection of a war shrine in Broad Street, all short service of dedication was held after morning prayer, the clergy, choir and congrega- tion walking in procession from the Parish Church. A large congregation assembled for the service. The hymn for absent friends was sung and prayers offered. A very stirring and helpful address was given by Rev. D. G. Macpherson, who dedicated the shrine to tho Glory of God and the honour of the Knighton men in the forces. The singing of the National Anthem fol- lowed by the benediction brought to a close a service that will long be remembered.
