LLANGENNECH. I The Lhngcnnech June Pairs have come and I gone again. There was not a good attendance of farmers, and, consequently, the amount of business effected was much smaller than usual. We noticed that pigs, which in the past have been bought and &old on the second fair day, were in evidence on the first day. i If they were sold together with the cattle, it would be a great convenience to buyers gene- rally. -f"- On Tuesday evening last the members of Llangennech Band of Hope, numbering 100, were conveyed to Llanelly in four brakes, to give an entertainment (" Buy your own Cher- ries ") to the inmates of Brymirion. The singing was excellent, and the entertainment throughout was very much enjoyed by all present. Mr. Morley Joseph (Guardian) pre- sided, and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and the choir. The supporters of the Salem Band of Hope deserve praise for their kind offer to perform the cantata, "Buy your Cherries," for the henefit. of the unfortunate inmates of the Llanelly Union Workhouse. They will ex- perience- the joy and luxury of doing good to fellow-beings. ■—o— The many friends of Miss Blodwen Hopkins (Llinos Morlais) will be glad to hear that she was selected by Dr. McNaught and Mr. Harry Evans to appear on the stage of the London National Eisteddfod, out, of 49 competitors. The competition was an exceedingly keeii i one, and the singing was of an exceptionally high quality. It is to be hoped that next year she will capture the soprano solo prize. —o— We congratulate our young friend Cenec-h, too, on his Gorseddic initiation. He and Mor- 1 leisfab are now bards of note, and will henceforth be important members of the inner circle."

PONTYBEREM.

We are glad to note that the Company are doing good work all along the line. -0- The Caersaleu) Sunday School annual treat took place last Saturday afternoon, the wea- ther being Aery fine. The procession, num- bering 450 persons, started from the Boat Square, and, going through the usual route, returned to the Vestry, where a fine sight awaited them. The waitress, in their white aprons, and the decorations were of the best. In the evening a miscellaneous concert was held, Mr. Litis Davies presiding, and after the meeting the young people went to the field, where all sorts of games were indulged in. Several fire balloons were sent up, which we fear will create another airship scare. —o— Anniversary services were held at Capel Sion on Sunday last, w hen the pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Silyn Evans, Aberdare, and the Rev. S. Williams, Penrhiwceibr. —o— Our Second Eleven seem to be doing better work lately, having won the last three matches.

TRIMSkPtAN. J The fourth annual, movable singing festival of the Congregationalism Union, of Capel Sul,; Kidwelly: Sardis, Trimsaran; Bethel, Carway; Talior, Llansaint; Soar. Mynyddygarreg: and Glangwendraeth, Kidwelly, was held at Sardis, Trimsaran, on Sunday. The conductor was Mr. W. J. Evans, Aberdare. 'I he accom- panists were Messrs. Tom W. Thomas, Capel Sul, and Rees Rees, Sardis. —o— The juvenile festival was held in the morn- ing, the chairman being the Rev. W. J. Wil- liams, Carway. The festival for adults' was held in the afternoon and evening. The pre- j sidents at the respective gatherings were the Rev. R. Jones, Sardis, and the Rev. W C. Jenkins. Kidwelly. Addresses were delivered J by Mr David Thomas and Mr Alfred.Tonkins.) In spite of the weather, there was an exceed- ingly good attendance, and the: excellent nature of the singing indicated that great pains had been taken at the rehearsals. The conductor for the rehearsals was Mr. Stephen Evans, Kidwelly, and Mr. D. T. Gilbert, Car- way. for the juvenile rhearsals. The Rev. W. C. Jenkins was the chairman of the commit- tee, Mr. W. Wilkins treasurer, and Mr. D. T. Gilbert was the secretary. Food was provided io :l;o vestry for strangers. --0- Trhusaranitos are exceedingly glad, that Miss Elizabeth HaH.

Rhagorol! The bite Mr. Matbs-w Arnold said: The C ¡'I1,Ji(¡(l i a iiMi 'i f Oh:o] i meeting; that the common people of Wales should care for such a thing at all shows something Greek in them, something spiritual, something humane." We are extremely sorry that our friend Mr W. Boswell has left Trimsaran for Risca. Al- though Mr. Boswell did not have any of the Celtic fringe about him, still lie was a broad-minded man, and he is very much at- tached to Trimsaran owing to the fact that he is so fond of Nature study, and this locality is such a good place for such a study. —o— We wish Mr. Boswell success at Risca, [ where Messrs. Dean, Hetherington, and Co., are building one of their continuous kilns, which have the production of the maximum amount of ware of perfect colour and shape, with the minimum quantity of fuel. It com- bines so many advantages of the intermittent down-draught kiln and the continuous Hoff- man kiln as to render it, under capable management, the nearest approach to the ideal that we have yet seen. One of the Welsh delegates who was pre- sent at the Miners' Federation of Great Bri- I tain Conference, last week, said: "I am still hopeful. I cannot believe that the owners in South Wales will venture to lock their men out in order to secure two points which no other district in the United Kingdom insists upon, viz., extra hours of working and the double shift." If the parties themselves fail to come to an agreement, the Board of Trade is certain to intervene, because inasmuch as Parliament had passed the Eight HOUTS Act, Parliament was bound to see that the law should he enforced without any loss following to those whom it was intended to benefit. —o— Mr. Henry Hall, inspector of mines, said in his report which appeared in the Blue Book just issued, as follows:—"That in many col- lieries the roads are not as well timbered and supported as the working-places of the miners, and that shot-firers require to bei con- tinually reminded that it is very dangerous and absolutely illegal to fire even the per- mitted explosives near inflammable gas, or when the lamp flame shows the slightest cap.' —o— Look out for Trimsaran Fair. which will be held on the first Monday in July.

i KIDWELLY. KIDWELLY. A WHITE CROW. On Thursday evening of last week Mr Henry Mansell, of this town, managed, after much trouble, to capture a young crow whose plum- i age is all white, on his field just above Kid- welly. This freak of nature, an Albino crow, is now, NN-itli aiiotlier young crow of natural colour, kept by Mr. Mansell in a roomy cage, and is doing well. It is the first. of its kind j ever seen at Kidwelly. j —o— THE FAIR FIELD. j On Monday evening Tom Rogers, the local j handcuff king and rope expert, gave a most successful performance of his powers to iree himself from numerous pairs of new re- g-nlation Pnd other handcuffs in. a very brief space of time, and much to the. astonishment of the crowded audiences at each show. Tom is also a clever sleight-of-hand artiste, and we hope to see him giving a' full show at the Town Hall very shortly. ¡ -n- i CRICKET. The League match between Kidwelly* and Pontyberem was played at Kidwelly on Satur- day, before a large crowd. Kidwelly went in first, the Rev. W. G. Gravelle and D. R. Wild facing the bowling of J. Davies and G. C. Seymour, who made short work of both, Gra- velle being sent out by Davies's first ball, and Wild being caught off the second ball in the first over. The total for Kidwelly was 46 runs, these being got against the fearfully deadly bowling of J. Davies, G. C. Seymour, and' D. J. Thomas, who took respectively six wickets for eighteen, two for 24, and two for 3 runs. Pontyberem started none too well, before the bowling of Harry Gravelle and Jim Watkins. Seven wickets were down in no time, and for only 17 runs. Kidwelly achieved a victory over their old rivals for the first time for many years by three runs only. The scores were as foll<)ws.- Kidwelly.—Rev. W. G. Gravelle. b J. Davies 0, D. R. Wild c G. Bowen b Davies 0, Billo Walters b G. C. Seymour 0, G. E. Bowen b J. Davies 19, D. J.

L.LANDEBIE. (By "Casual.") Miss John, Ivy Bush, Llandebie, has left the district for Newport. I understand that she is going in for the nursing profession. Wish her luck. -0- Did you hear of the sport and The boys were led up Heol Glynhir and Heol-faeli- y-Garn, then to the falls—and, oh! it was great. But that's nothing as compared to the fun they had-or, rather, lie. had. Fancy having a g)rl who would take you to a pub. to have tea, and pay for it herself, just for the sake of being with you. —o— You remember that some time ago we caused an advertisement, to be inserted in these columns to the effect that a new managing director was required for the poultry farm, etc. I beg to inform the various applicants that the post is now filled, and that business is resumed under the old management. We have been able, after some careful investiga- tion to assert that a change of management would be detrimental to the interest and well- being of the concern. We will return all testimonials as soon as the staff are able to cope with them, as we are recording them for future reference. Q. There was no baby parade on Sunday night. -0-: Last Saturday night I was drawn by the crowd near the Angel House to listen to J. James, Cwmgors discussing the Independent Labour Party's policy, but in that vast throng I saw a woman, and I have been wondering what she knew about polities. But how dull I am! She was, of course, the Llandebie suffragette. —o— What a change has come over our street, Every Saturday morning regularly I used to see a man with a brush, cleaning and tidying the place up; but lie is now conspicuous by his absence. -0- On the one side of the Square, by the Church, there is a dangerous' open space. I understand that the, attention of the authori- ties has been called to this, but it is still dangerous. I hope by next week that a pro- per fence will he placed around it Oh! by the way, I must have my say about the Independent Labour Party. "Brotherly love, etc., through legislation," etc. Splendid! Mr. James made the remark: "If you want to see a Chancellor, go to the wife of a man earning 25s per week, to see how she contrives to support the needs of the family on it." Dear Sir,—Please do not ask us in Llandebie to observe these things. The motto of a large number of our women is how to "raise the wind" for a bottle," not food: and several of these are procured with. 25s. per week. I —o—■ These depraved, haughty, insolent, beings do nothing but drink and besmear everybody with vile slander. No, sir. It is the marriage economic laws that want reforming. (In all seriousness, now). Why should every Tom, Dick, and Harry he allowed to marry? Men and women who are unhealthy, drunkards, beings of passion and vice, why should they be allowed to bring into being specie of the same and kindred passions Where do vou, m your propaganda, make allowances for heredity? You propose to alter environment; why not deal with heredity? Because these depraved mortals in our midst are not sub- ject to environment. The environment here is as good as it is in most, places.. —o— It, is a big question, but it is not an insolv- able one. There are in our midst scores of girls who have not the faintest idea how to preside over their own homes. They cannot even poach an egg. Yet these are allowed to get married, become mothers; and what have they to teach their young? We read of much infant mortality. Is it not attributable to drunkenness and vice in a groat measure? It is through ignorance of the divine laws, not moral laws. We cannot find a man unless he has been subjected to the purging influence of the Word of God. I respect your views, but I cannot see that they are practical.
