On the occasion of the anniversary meetings at Hermon, Lower Bryn- amman, the Rev. T. E. Nicholas, Llangybi, the able composer and bard, preached practical and idealistic sermons to large audiences all day Sunday and Saturday evening. • A committee is arranging a lecture in aid of Mr. John Walters, check- weigher, who has been lying prostrate with illness for a considerable time. The service3 of the Rev. Jno. Llewelyn, Bethania, have been secured, and he will dilate on the popular text, "Noson Gyda'r Pia." Mr. Llewelyn has delivered this interesting' lecture to a large audience before, and since then he has had numerous requests to repeat it. Now, those who have had the privilege of hearing it before, and those who are desirous of listening to the much-taiked-about treatise, have their opportunity provided at Gibea Chapel opportun, ty provi on November 8th next. The tickets are already selling easily. Priv. George King was the guest at a send-otf meeting held at Siloam Vestry room on Friday evening, when a goodly sized audience assembled despite the boisterous weather prevail- ing.

Organ Recital.-Under the auspices of the Ebenezer Sailers' and Soldiers' Committee, of which Mr. E. J. Morgan is chairman; Mr. Griffith Morgan, headmaster, secretary; and Mr. Wm. Thomas, Bungalow, trea- surer, an excellent organ recital was given on Saturday evening at the above- named chape! by Mr. T. D. Jones, Morriston, organist of St. Paul's, Sketty. There was a strong audience, which fully appreciated the capital performances given by Mr. Jones. He was assisted by the notable artistes:— Miss Mary Davies, Brynamman (soprano); Mr. E. Glanville Davies, Maesteg (baritone), formerly of Bryn- amman; and Miss Ceinwen E. Smith (elocutionist) The president was Mr. J. Ernest Lewis, manager, Glynbeudy Works, who at the outset delivered a most pointed and appropriate speech dealing with our duties towards our defenders, and what they were doing for us. The cause was a most deserving one, and all should do their utmost to encourage and help these movements in every possible way. The programme was as follows:—Off erto ire (Batiste) on the organ by Mr. Jones, a really fine set-off to the programme; song, The Watchman," Mr. Glanville Davies, whose resonant voice appealed greatly to the congregation; selection, Fantasie Rustique, Mr. Jones; j The Blacksmith' s Story, a most lucid and effective recitation, Miss Smith; selections, (a) Fanfare," (b) Intermezzo," Mr. Jones; song, Y ma,e Gwlad," Miss Mary Davies; Fantasia on Hymn-tune," Mr. Jones. The second part was opened again by Mr. Jones with Pastorale," and a rousing encore followed the contribu- tion. Llais o Belgium was the title of a piece composed by Mr. W. Jones and recited by Miss Ceinwen Smith remarkably well, another encore being elicited. March on a Theme of Handel" was the next item by the organist, and was given in a masterly manner, and encored. Miss Davies sang Save me, 0 Lord," and again was recalled. On the organ Mr. Jones gave (a) Cantilene" and (b) "Andantino." A repeat was demanded. Mr. Glanville Davies vocalised "Ship- mates o' mine excellently, and had to return to appease a stirring encore. The final contribution was "Toccata" by Mr. Jones. The National Anthem was sung to terminate.

I PENYBANK. I On Thursday evening last, a benefit concert was held at Pisgah Baptist Chapel in aid of the widow and chil- dren of the late Sergt. D. Thomas, 4th Welsh, who lost his life at Suvla Bay. The concert was conducted by Mr. John Lloyd, Hillside, and several of the local artistes took part, together with the Tycroes Male Voice Party. Mrs. Thomas wishes to convey to the Penybank Soldiers' and Sailors' Recep- tion Committee and all those who helped to make the concert a success an expression of her deepest thanks for their sympathv. It has been a source of great comfort to her to receive the sympathy of friends and the exoression of their sorrow with her in the hour of affliction.

CWMAMMAN. While following his occupation at the Gellyceidrim Colliery, last Friday, Mr. David Williams, Twyn, Garnant, met with an accident, his knee being badly bruised. We are glad to say that he is getting on as well as can be expected. Last Monday turned out a very sad day at Glanamman, when it was made known that Mr. Gwilym Evans, son of Mrs. Evans, Y Banwen," had died suddenly at his work at the Gelly- ceidrim Colliery. From what can be gathered from his fellow-workmen, it appears a tram of coal happened to get off the rails, and Gwilym most likely overstrained himself so much by trying to lift the tram back on the line that he broke some vital cord. He was 22 years of age, and had only just re- covered from the accident he met a short while ago at the same colliery. The Betl-iania Dramatic Society per- formed that well-known draira, Gruffydd LKvyd," again last Satur- day. at the Gaiety, Cwmgorse, in aid of. Mr. Robert Leonard, Gwaun-cae- gurwen, who has been ailing the last coaple of months. Mr. Leonard is a native of Cwmamman. By the way, the above society are busily engaged in learning another new drama, en- titled" Die Shon Dafydd." They are under the tuition of Mr. David Llew- elyn, Cnapllwyd, and an ultimate pro- duction of the new drama is expected, as the practices are being well attended each week. After the evening sermon, last Sun- day, at Bethesda Chapel, a reception concert was given to two of our local heroes, narr.eiy, Driver Ernest Griffiths and Driver Tommy Richards, both of the R.F.A. The concert was under the presidency of the Rev. John Thomas -( paster), while at the piano Mr. Idris Morgans presided. The fol- lowing contributed to the programme:— Miss Nancy Jones, Miss Susie Owens, ivliss Sarah Evans, Miss Jennie Evans, M :ss Blodwen Rees, Master Eirwvn Joshua, Master Tommy Owens, Mas- ter Bertie Bowen, Mr. Jack Walters, Mr: Dan Davies, Mr. Evan Evans, and Mr. Oliver Roberts. A weU-arranged concert was held at Bethania (C.M.) Chapel, last Saturday evening, for the benefit of Mr. Evan Lewis, Pistill Llwyd, who, owing to having met with an acciden: at the Gellyceidrim Colliery, has had a leg amputated.

The latter* filled the gap caused by Miss Llinos Thomas (Llinos Cwmamman), who failed to make an appearance. The Cwmamman Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Tom Phillips, also sang, ably accompanied by Mr. Idris Morgans. The chairman of the evening was Mr. E. R. Fisher, M.E., Gellyceidrim Colliery, while the singers were assisted by Miss S. A. Lewis at the piano, and the penillion singers by Master T. O. Bevan with the harp. The duties of secretary were in the hands of Mr. David M. Jenkins, Glanamman. A very successful eisteddfod was held last Saturday evening at the Taber- nacle (C.M.) Chapel. Through the unavoidable absence of the advertised chairman. Mr. Edgar Griffiths, mana- ger of the Raven Tinplate Works, Mr. Benjamin Morgans, Glanamman, ably conducted the eisteddfod throughout the whole evening. The adjudicators were: -Music, Mr. Robert Michael, A.T.S.C., Garnant; literary, Mr. Jno. Rees, Twyn, Garnant. Accompanist, Miss S. A. Lewis, L.L.C.M., Gar- nant.

GOLDEN GROVE. The many friends of Mr. Walter E. Brennan, petty officer, Royal Nav3.1 Air Service, will be plgased to hear that he has quite recovered from his recent attack of malarial fever, and is again doing duty somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean. He is the younger son of Mr. Edward Brennan, who has been in the employ of the Cawdor family for the last 17 years, and he was formerly employed by a near relative of Lord Methuen, and it was the latter who personally wrote to Mr. Brennan, senr., enclosing the above information. Mr. Walter E. Brennan, like his elder brother, Mr. William Brennan, joined the Service in 1914. The former, up to the present, has not received a scratch, but the latter was twice wounded whilst serving with Lovat's Scouts in Gallipoli. On each occasion he refused to give in. and con- tinued at his post. At, present he is serving with the Mechanical Transport in Egypt.

GWAUN-CAE-GURWEN. I On Monday night, a peace meeting was held at the Gaiety, Cwmgorse. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. T. E. Nicholas, Llangybi, and Mr. Egerton Wake, prospective Labour candidate of Barrow-in-Furness. On Saturday evening, at the Gaiety, the Bethania Dramatic Society, Glan- amman, gave an excellent account of itself in the performance of the Welsh drama, Gruffydd Llwyd." It was a very creditable performance, and all present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We regret to record the death, which took place on Wednesday afternoon, of Lallie Harries, Caenewydd. Deceased, who was only fourteen years of age, had only been taken ill on the previous Sunday. Her mortal remains were laid to rest on Saturday afternoon at Old Carmel Cernetery. On Wednesday evening, a capital concert was given at the Public Hall, the proceeds of which went in support of Mr. Ben Davies, who has been un- able to follow his employment for a considerable period, owing to ill- health. Being that the proceeds were going to a brother in distress, it is need- less to say that the building was over- crowded. But apart from this, every- one feit at the conclusion that he had been given a rare musical treat, for all the artistes were,- indeed, in their element, and gave an excellent account themselves. The following contributed to the excellent programme:—Soprano, Miss Mary Davies, Brynamman; con- tralto, Madame Ceinwen Morris- Thomas; tenor, Mr. Ben T. Jones; bass, Mr. Owen Morgan, Glan- amman; penillion, Miss Llinos Thomas, Glanarriman (three times National win- ner) elocutionist, Miss Ceinwen Smith, Cwmgorse; instrumental ist, Mr. Tal. Morris, Gwaun-cae-gurwen. Mr. John Oliver Rees made an efficient accom- panist, while Mr. Morgan Williams, M.E., made an excellent and capable conductor. The account of the Gwaun-cae- gurwen and Cwmgorse Red Cross Flag Day is to hand. As reported in last week's issue, the event had been organised by the Ladies' Ç,.ld, to whom great credit is due for the ex- cellent arrangements which had been made.

Nantgaredig Double Tragedy INQUEST AND VERDICT. The West Carmarthenshire coroner, Mr. Thomas Walters, on Wednesday held an inquest on Ruth Daniel (38), a single woman, of Nantypain Farm, and her baby, David Gwyn Daniel, who were found dead in bed the pre- vious momng, as reported on another page. David Daniel, father of the deceased woman, said she was tenant of the farm, of which he was the owner, and he lived with her. She gave birth to an illegitimate child on the 23rd July last, but she had been unsuccessful in two applications for a paternity order at Llandilo Police Court. The second application was made three weeks ago. This failure had troubled her a good deal, but she was not in the least depressed. She retired to rest on Mon- day night in her usual health. About 11 o' clock he heard her talking in her sleep and groaning. This was habitual with her, so he called out to try and awake her. Failing to get an answer. he called John Williams, a servant man, who thought it advisable not to force the latch, as it might frighten her, as the groaning had by this time ceased. It never occurred to him there was anything wrong. He thought she was dreaming. On Tuesday morning, continued wit- ness, he called upon deceased to get up to prepare breakfast. She never replied. The servants were asked to go up, and they also obtained no re- sponse. The door latch was then re- moved and the bedroom entered. The woman and her child were both found dead in bed. P.C. Richards produced, a quantity of strychnine found in the back kitchen. Dr. J. H. Timothy, Nantgaredig, who arrived at the farm at 8.45 a.m. on Tuesday, said the mother and child had been dead eight hours or more. Both bodies were in a state of rigidity. He found in the bedroom a piece of paper containing some white powder, which he believed was strychnine, and there was also strychnine in a cup. From the state of the bodies he came to the conclusion that the cause of death in both cases was due to strych- nine poisoning. Replying to further questions, Dr. Timothy said even if he had seen them half an hour afterwards it was very doubtful if he could have done any- thing to save their lives. Summing up, the Coroner said who- ever the father of the child was, he (the Coroner) did not think he would have very comfortable feelings here- after. He did not refer to anybody, for he knew nothing of the facts. The woman must have been under a terrible strain finding that she had been led wrongly. The jury, of which the Rev. D. Curwen Davies 'was foreman, found that the woman wilfully killed her child by poisoning him with a dose of strychnine whilst of unsound mind, and that she herself committed suicide in the same manner whilst in tke same state of mind.
