LUCKY "BULLET" FOR A TERRI- TORIAL. Bullets when made of lead are bad for the receiver, but when a bullet of gold finds its billet, it is "a bit of all right." Pte.

On Friday last the customary sessions were held for the passing of jury lists, etc., before Messrs. Edwin Roberts and T. Hum- phreys. The jury lists for the parishes of Holywell urban, Holywell rural, Brynford and Wliitfoid were submitted by the seve- ral assistant overseers and passed. Seve- ral cases for the recovery of rates were brought forward by Mr. John Marsden, collector. The explanation given by a pub- lican and also by a butcher from Bagillt was that they were unable, owing to bad trade, to pay their rates. One of the magistrates confirmed the statement that,trade was bad. Orders for payment were made.—James Brannan, of no fixed abode, was brought up on a charge cf being drunk and disorderly at Bagillt the previous evening. P.C. W.

On Monday evening, at St. WinefrecVs Vestrv, the Vicar presided oveT a meeting of Sunday S-liool teachers and clioristers of the Parish Church, for the purpose of presenting Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Lloyd with a memento of their services in Sunday school and choir, and on the occasion of their marriage. The present was a hand- f;ome inlaid rriahogany timepiece with an inscribed jriate "Presented by flie teachers of the Sunday School and members of the choir of Holywell Parish Council to Mr. and Mrs. F. Lloyd on the occasion of their mar- riage, August, 1914." The Vicar, in con- gratulatory terms, referred to the happy event, and in grateful manner acknowledged the faithful service Mrs. Lloyd (nee Miss Minnie JO!e.c;) had rendered as a Sunday School teacher, and honorary organist in St. Winefred's Hall, and as a member of the church choir. He also acknowledged the services Mr. Lloyd rendered as member of the choir. Mrs. Lloyd unfortunately, was, owing to a severe chill, unable to be present. Miss L. Pugh, at the request of the Vicar, made the presentation to Mr. Frank Lloyd on behalf of the teachers and choir, and extended to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd the hearty good wishes of everyone for their future happiness. Mr. Lloyd, on behalf of his wife and himself, thanked the Vicar, the teachers and the choir for their kind- ness. They appreciated most the spirit of friendship shown towards them first in hav- ing accorded them a choral wedding, and secondly in tire present which conveyed to them so much the feelings of everyone. He regretted the absence of his wife, but he could assure them that she was deeply grateful for the kindness of his fellow- teachers and choristers Members of the Sunday School and choir offered their con- gratulations, and the Vicar, on behalf of all present, thanked Miss L. Pugh for so readily acting as hon. see. of the movement.

>3* BRYNFORD.
>3* BRYNFORD. WIFE'S SAD HOMECOMING. Mrs. Lloyd, of Stoneycroft, had a sad shock on her return home from church on Sunday night. She had left her husband, Mr. Robert Lloyd, joiner, in the house, ap- parently in his usual health. Returning I from Brynford Church about quarter to eight, she found the house in darkness and failed to get into the house through some obstruction at the door. Entering by the back door she found her husband lying against the door. She saw that he was .helpless, and going up to him found that he was apparently dead. Dr. C. E. Morris, Holywell, was sent for, but he could only confirm the conclusion that life was extinct. It-appears that after Mrs. Lloyd left' for church, the deceased, feeling ill, a.sked a neighbour if she had a drop of brandy as he did not feel well, having a pain or light- ness on the chest. Not having any stimu- lant in the house, and assuming that Mr. Lloyd had an attack of flatulence, she gave deceased a small quantity of bicarbonate of soda, which appeared to relieve him and he went home, walking from the house without any effort. It would seem from the appear- < ances that Mr. Lloyd, after entering his, house, collapsed and died immediately. Much sympathy is felt with Mrs. Lloyd and family in their sudden bereavement. ,The deceased was well-known as an able work- man, and was much respected in tile neign- bourhood.

CHILDREN FACE THE COLD WIND. It is a justifiable complaint of the Oaken- holt people that their iciiildren have to face the bleak winds that sweep the road from there to near Flint.

The men have been prepared for drafting at the Drill Hall, Flint, under Major J. Ll. Williams, Capt. J. E. Parry, Lieuts. J. U. Owen and Corbett and Sergt.-Instructor Ithel Williams. They were a very smart body of men, and will soon fall into place with their comrades at Northampton. The men ,it will be seen, are drawn from Holy- well, Greenfield, Bagillt and Flint. The way those four plaices have responded is highly creditable, and is a striking pattern a to other parts of the county to the north- west of them. The 30 men Teft Flint sta- tion about ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, and were given a good send-off. The de- tachment included the following :— Jas. A. Bowes, Shotton. Patrick Loftus, Flint.

Flint Company—or what are left of them —are still keen, and drill most industrious- ly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

* LEESWOOD.
LEESWOOD. PHCENIX COLLIERY. The mining operations at this colliery have now ceased. The closure of the col- liery is a heavy blow to the district. Many of the men, however, have already found employment at the Gresford, Gwersyllt, Ffrith and Llay Hall Collieries. EVENING SCHOOLS.

OPENING HOURS OF PUBLIC HOUSES. The following resolution was forwarded by the Leeswood and Coed Talon Free Church Council to the magistrates of the Petty Sessional Division of Mold:—"At a meeting of the above-named Council held on Friday evening, September 18th, it was unanimously decided that an earnest ap- peal be made to your worships to kindly consider the desirability of exercising your powers under the Intoxicating Liquor (Tem- poray Restriction) Act, 1914. Owing to the difficulties which arise on account of the present state of affairs in the county, and more particularly to the impending closure of the Phoenix Colliery on Saturday next, the 26th inst., in consequence of which we fear there will be more poverty, we would respectively suggest that more spe- cial regulations be applied to our districts re the earlier closure of public houses, and we are firmly of the opinion that if this course be. adopted it will prevent some of the evils which would otherwise surely arise. On behalf of the Council-Robert Ingman (chairman), J. E. Williams (secre- tary)."

Comforts for Welshf Troops.I…
Comforts for Welsh f Troops. I i WHAT TO SEND. Mr. W. G. C. Gladstone, M.P., H.M. Lieutenant for Flintshire, writing from the Barracks, Wrexham, says There will be many people in Flintshire who would be glad of the opportunity of sending articles of comfort to soldiers at the front, especially perhaps for the bene- fit of those men who come from North Wales. The Second Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, commanded by Col. H. Delme Radcliffe, is, of course, already at the front, and the First Battalion will pre- sumably soon be there. Mrs. Delme Radcliffe has kindly consen- ted to receive at Silsoe, Ampthill, Bedford- shire, and forward all suitable articles of comfort for the Second Battalion, and Mrs. Cadogan, Gayhurst, Newport Pagnell, Bucks, will do so for the benefit of the First Battalion. It should be noted that the Second Bat- talion urgently, requires shirts, eocks, and body belts, as well as other comforts, for they have not been able to recover any of their kit, from which they became separa- ted during the forced marches at the be- ginning of the war. General Sir Henry Mackinnon has indi- cated that the following articles will be very much appreciated :—Khaki handker- chiefs, bootlaces, newspapers and periodi- cals, chocolate, peppermint, dried fruits, briar pipes and tobacco pouches, tobacco, Cake Cavendish, plug or twist preferred (packed in thin tinfoil if possible), meat lozenges, cigarettes, cigarette papers and cigarette tobacco. SmaR tins of boracic ointment, borated vaseline for sore feet, antiseptic powder, pocket-knives, postcards, and lead pencils, Cardigan jackets, Bala- clava caps, scarves. Wines and spirits should not be sent. Hospital requirements are not included in this list. I trust that the information will be of service to all those who would like to do something, however little, to mitigate the hardships and privations which our men are undergoing at the front.
