Á MACHYNLLETH. j REVIVAL SERVICES.—The Rev J. Price Roberts, I Liverpool, conduct,ed revival services every evening I last week from Monday till Friday at the Wesleyan Chapel. The congregation each evening comprised many members of other denominations. I APPOINTMENT.—Mr L. Jones William?, eldest son of Mr D. Davies Williams, who passed tke Civil Service examination for Assistants of Excise in May last, this week received a notification from the Inland Revenue officials to present himself at Liver- pool. Mr Williams left Machynlleth on Wednesday to enter upon his duties. He carried with him the heartiest good wishes of a host of friends. C,YMREIGYDDION. --T lie members of this society met on Wednesday evening in last week at the Town Hall to hear an address from the well-known bard, Rev J. Cadvan Davies, on Barnwyr Cymreig i Grjmru (Welsh Judges for Wales). Mr J. Row- lands (president of the Society) occupied the chair. The rev. gentleman's remarks were timely and appropriate. He spoke with a strong conviction of the justice of his country's claim for judges who anderstood its language, at the same time treating the subject with a mind free from any petty bias. His main argument was summed up in the de- claration that Welsh witnesses when called upon to give evidence in courts of justice were unable to understand questions put to them and, consequently, could not answer them. The services of intepreters did not by any means remove the difficulty, and the lecturer gave several amusing instances of the errors of interpreters when endeavouring to trans- late a witness's words and meaning from one language to the other. The address gave rise to an interesting discussion, and "Cadvan" was after- wards warmly thanked for the rich treat he had provided. NURSING LECTURES.—The first of the series of lectures on sick nursing was given on Tuesday evening at the Town Hall, by Miss Draper, (lecturess to the National Health Society). Miss Draper lectures under the auspices of the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and has been engaged by the Montgomeryshire Technical In- struction Committee. The lectures are open to men and women, and so far have been splendidly attended. The subject of the lecture on Tuesday evening was "The Sick Room," followed by a practical demonstration of changing sheets and §iav&ng sheet while patient is ;in bed. On Wed- nesday Miss Draper lectured on Observation and eare of the sick," with a practical demonstration of changing sheets and nightshirt. The remarks of the jecturess were intently followed, and that the fctfruction imparted by her will be followed by beneficial results there can be no doubt. The remainder of the lectures will be as follows:— Friday, January 31st, Fevers and fever nursing Monday, February 3rd, How to make a good poultice"; Thursday, February 6th, Chest com- plaints"; Friday, February 7th, "Food for the aick." The secretarial duties are in the hands of Mr Richard Rees, Paris House, who was mainly Shstrumental in securing the services of Miss Draper to deliver the lectures. DEATHS.—On Tuesday in last week the death took place of Mr James Williams, Doll-street, at the ripe age of seventy-two years. The funeral took place on Friday at the Cemetery, the Rev J. D. Jones, Wesleyan minister (of whose church deceased had been a faithful member), and the Rev W. S. Jones officiating.-Mr John Jones, Cwan- durkey Farm, near Machynlleth, passed away on Friday evening last, after a short illness, at the age Of seventy-nine years. Four daughters and one son are left to mourn their loss. The remains were interred at the cemetery on Tuesday, the Rev E. Wnion Evans being the officiating minister.—Much sympathy is expressed with Mr Richard Breese, Tanllan, in the death of his son, John, which took place at the early age of twenty-eight years on Sunday last. Deceased had had the misfortune to lose one of his arms owing to an accident, and for some time had been an inmate of the Londonderry Cottage Hospital. The funeral will take place at Aberhosan on Friday. A SERIOUS CHARGE.—On Thursday last John Parry, aged 20 years, described as a Wesleyan lay agent, was arrested by the police on a charge of indecently assaulting a nine-year-old daughter of Robert Lumley, quarryman, residing at Commins Coch, and placed in custody at Machynlleth Police Station. To those aware of recent proceedings, the arrest did not come as a surprise. The prisoner, Who is of respectable parentage, is a native of Pen- maenmawr. In September last he came to reside At Commins Coch, where he was to spend his period Of probation previous to entering the Wesleyan ministry. The offence is alleged to have been com- mitted on Christmas Eve. The little girl is the youngest child of a family of five, and the story came to the ears of her parents through the child's brother repeating what had been told him by his lister Jenny. The case has already been investi- gated by the Quarterly Meeting of the Wesleyan denomination, with the result that prisoner was dismissed from his post. The police then took the matter up, and applied for a warrant, which was issued. Prisoner was brought before Mr Richard Bees on Friday evening, and was then remanded in custody until the following Tuesday. On Tues- day be was again brought before Messrs T. W. Bonsall. and Richard Rees, when a large number of the general public were present. Prisoner seemed quite unaffected by his position, and gave a smile of recognition to some friends in court. The Clerk (Mr David Evans) said he had received a letter from Messrs Lloyd George and George, solicitors (who had been instructed to defend the accused), asking that the case be further remanded until Saturday next. The police offered no objection, and a further remand was granted until Saturday next at eleven o'clock. Prisoner's father and uncle Were present, and they applied for bail. The Bench granted prisoner bail in the sum of Z50 for himself and two sureties of £25 each, and these were forth- coming. Mr Bonsall remarked that the case was a aerious one as far as the boy was concerned, and he Was glad to find the father and uncle present. SHOOTING COMPETITION. The weekly competition took place at the range on Saturday last, the winners of the spoons being Sergeant Sadleir and Corporal Leek. The scores were as follows:— D (MACHYNLLETH) CO. 200 500 600 T'tl.

WEDDING OF LADY .HELEN STEWART and LORD STAVORDALE. One of the most brilliant weddings that have taken place in London for some years was solem- nised on Saturday afternoon at St Peter's Eaton- square, when Lord Stavordale and Lady Helen Stewart were married. Lord Stavordale is in his twenty-eighth year, ard was formerly a lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards. The bride, Lady Helen Mary Theresa Vane-Tempest Stewart, is the only daughter of the Marquis of Londonderry (Post- master General) and the Marchioness of Londonderry. The service was fully choral. The Primate of all Ireland (Dr William Alexander) officiated, assisted by the Rev Canon Body, of Durham, the Rev H. A. V. Body, vicar of Grindon (domestic chaplain to the Marquis of Londonderry), and the Rev John Storrs, vicar of St Peter s Church. The bride was accompanied by her father, who, during the singing of the hymn, Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost," led her to the chancel entrance, and then cave her away. Lord Stavordale was supported by Jfcord Hyde (son of the Earl of Clarendon) as best man. There were ten bridesmaids in attendance upon the bride-Miss Marioy Beckett (daughter of Mrs Cervase Beckett), Miss Gladys Beckett (daughter of Mrs Beckett of Doncaster), Miss Margaret Beau- mont and Miss Aline Beaumont (daughters of Lady Aline Beaumont), Lady Muriel Fox-Strangways (sister of the bridegroom), Lady Edith Dawson (daughter of the Earl and Countess of Dartrey), Lady Viola Talbot (daughter of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury and Talbot), Miss Muriel Chaplin (daughter of Lady Gwendoline Little), Miss Madeleine Stanley (daughter of Lady Jeune), and Miss Eleanor Hicks-Beach (daughter of the Chan- ceUor of the Exchequer). The first four were little eirls in Empire frocks of old lace over quicksilver Ik with high sashes of cloth of gold and gold shoes and stockings. The other six bridesmaids WnTp. crowns of white" quicksilver silk draped with ■ old lace over chiffon, the deep flounce headed by crescents of Russian sable. The bodices were arranged with lace collars bordered with sable and fastened at the waist with sashes of cloth of gold. They also wore white felt hats trimmed with bouquets of white and yellow jonquils and green and brown leaves. The bridegroom's presents to them were baskets filled with yellow jonquils and lilies of the valley, and their ornaments were diamond birds. Lady Helen Stewart wore ivory duchesse satin, the skirt being embroidered with true-loyers' knots. The train, which formed part of the skirt, had a bounce of Limerick lace caught up with bows of embroidery. Her veil of Brussels lace covered jt wreath of orange blossoms and myrtle grown from fhafc used at her mother's wedding. Her omamente were a pearl and diamond collar, the gift from the county of Durham, and a diamond riviere, the gift of the Marquis of Londonderry, and her bridal bouquet, grown at the gardens at Wynyard, was composed of gardenias, lilies of the valley, orange blossoms, and myrtle, tied with white satin .-M,learners. After the ceremony Lord and Lady Londonderry received their fiiends at Londonderry House, Park- 1anc.. The ho,t,e was adorned with palms and arum lilies. In the magnificent ballroom were displayed the presents, numbering over 800. The gift of the King and Queen, to which was a card bearing the Koyal autographs, was a caduceus.in diamonds, surmounted with a large oval-shaped turquoise. The Prince and Princess of Wales' present was a diamond and sapphire crescent brooch. Princess Louise and the Duke of Fife gave a red morocco kit bag. Princess Victoria a diamond and turquoise pendant, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught a gunmetal miniature case with a fleur-de-lys in diamonds, and Princess Christian a sunshade knob in cut crystal with blue enamel,studded with pearls and gold tips. The bridegroom's presents to his bride included a large diamond brooch, ruby and diamond earrings, and emerald and diamond ring. Lord Londonderry's gifts were a diamond tiara made up of the Antrim family jewels, a diamond riviere, a diamond and ruby ling, three large diamond brooches, as well as a pony, phaeton, and harness. Lady Londonderry gave her daughter a large diamond arrow hair ornament, a set of sables, and some costly lace. Shortly after four o'clock Lord and Lady Stavor- dale left to pass the honeymoon at Ingestre Hall, Stafford, the residence of the Earl of Shrewsbury, uncle of the bride. Lady Helen travelled in a dress of white cloth, trimmed with ecru embroidered lace, opening over an under-dress of white panne velvet, edged with sable, and wore a large cream beaver hat, with two long ostrich feathers. A rough estimate (says the "Westminster Gazette") of the value of the presents to Lord Stavordale and Lady Helen Stewart, puts the figure at about £ 340,000. An interesting story is told of Lord Stavordale and his costly presents. It seems that he drove at a late hour on Monday night week last from Holland House to Londonderry House, taking with him a parcel of jewellery comprising no less than ten wedding presents to the bride, including his own, some of the jewels being of priceless value. Apparently he bad no thought but for his bride, for on reaching Londonderry House he hurriedly dis- charged his cabman and sought Lady Helen, only to remember when he reached her that he had left the priceless paicel of jewellery in the cab. The moments that followed were exciting, and it was not until the following afternoon that all anxiety was set at rest by a police intimation that the cab- man had banded over the jewels at the police office in Notting Dale. According to Scotland Yard regulations the cabman is entitled to receive ten per cent. of the value of the articles recovered. The MachynIIeth Parish Church bellringers rang out a merry peal on Saturday in honour of the marriage. Flags were displayed from several build- ings in the town, and the Union Jack floated in the breeze from the Church tower. The Dowager Marchioness of Londonderry was present, wearing violet velvet and a chiffen toque to match. Among others present were Viscount and Viscountess Castlereagh, Mr and Lady Aline Beaumont, Master Wentworth Beaumont, Lord Henry Vane Tempest, Lord Herbert Vane Tempest, the Earl and Countess of Kilmorey, and Lord Rawton.
Rumoured Outbreak of Small Pox. It has been reported in the South Wales papers that fan outbreak of small pox has occurred at Eglwysfach, near Glandovey, and that the person attacked is a female farm servant aged 30 years. The report lacks confirmation, and bad probably arisen from a statement made at the last meeting of the Machnylleth Rural District Couucil by Dr Mattthews, the medical officer, who reported an outbreak of what he said looked being like small- pox. It has been since ascertained that the malady is probably a case of chicken-pox.

+ LAMPETER. FOOTBALL.—On Wednesday afternoon last the town team played Aberystwyth College under the Rugby Code, and won by one try, which was scored at the close of the game by Lovell.-The Welsh Union Football Committee have again selected Strand Jones to play full back for the Welsh team against Scotland at Cardiff on Saturday. A large number of persons intend going to Cardiff to wit- "ness the game. QUARTERLY MEETINGS.—The quarterly meet- ings in connection with the Baptist denomination for mid-Cardiganshire were held on Tuesday after- noon and throughout Wednesday, at Bethel, Silian. Eloquent sermons were preached to crowded con- gregations by the Revs T R Morgan, Swyddffynon: Evans. Penrhyncoch Phillips, New Court; and Dr J A Morris, Aberystwyth. The latter 1 also preached a special sermon on Cysylltiad Bed- ydd ag achub" Iwfiich was the subject of discusion at a previous meeting. The meetings were most suc- cessful, and were conducted by the Rev D Jones, pastor. INQUEST.—An inquest was held at tbe.Royal George Hotel on Friday evening last by Dr Abel Evans, district coroner, touching the death of Harold Wallace Hall, son of Mr and Mrs Hall, Market-place (Mr Hall is employed as a baker with Mr Charles Evans), aged five months, whose death took place early that day. Mr S V Davies, Coronation Stores, was foreman of the jury. It would appear from the evidence given that the child awoke as usual at half past eight that morn- ing, was fed, and from all appearances was in a good state of health. The child was afterwards put in a cradle, and when Mrs Hall went upstairs forjjbim some two hours later, she found to her astonishment that he was dead. A verdict of Found dead in a cradle was returned. SCHOLASTIC.—His numerous friends will be pleased to hear that Mr A W Davies, of the Llan- dovery School, and son of Mr David Davies, J.P., Velindre, has gained an exhibition scholarship of the value of £ 50 in mathematics at Oxford. While at Llandovery Mr Davies won the esteem of a large number of pupils, and last year he was cap- tain of the football team, which figured well throughout the season. Mr J F A Thomas, son of Mrs Thomas, Millbank, also won an exhibition scholarship at the same examination. SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.—Mrs Davies- Evans, Highmead has presented each pupil of this school with a drying book in which to press wilci flowers, in order to compete for the botanical prize she has offered to the girls. To the school she has also given a complete series of botanical books, beautifully illustrated, written by Mr T. E. Hulme. These books are invaluable to botanical students, and will, we hope, encourage habits of observation amongst the girls. For the younger children Mrs Davies-Evans has sent the fascinating little reader on Trees" by Miss Arabella Buckley. It is gratifying to note that the numbers in this school have increased considerably more than 50 per cent and there is such a prospect of further increase during the course of the present term, that additions to the staff have to be contemplated. Miss Morgan, the recently appointed music mistress has almost as many pupils as she can take. MONTHLY MARKET.—The usual monthly market was held on Monday, and, in spite of the inclement weather, it was well-attended by dealers and farmers. There was an unusually large supply of poultry, which was disposed of early. Fowls were sold at 3s 6d per couple, and ducks at 4s 6d per couple. There was an abundant supply of store pigs, and although prices were rather high, averag- ing from 20s to 23s, there was a good sale; porkers were sold at 6s 9d per score. The markets held during the past six months have been most success- ful as regards attendance, but there remains much more work to be done before we can compare favourably with some other towns of equal size. THE SMALL-POX SCARE.—The unfounded rumours of small-pox in the district, which were circulated about the town, have caused a great stir amongst the townspeople. The Mayor (Dr Hugh Walker) has issued a circular urging the inhabit- ants to take the precaution of being re-vaccinated. The appeal has been well responded to, and, during the past few days, a large number :have been re- vaccinated. POLICE NEWS.—At a special court held on Monday last, a tramp named Thomas Morris was brought up in custody and charged by P.C. Lewis with begging alms on Sunday evening.—The Mayor (Dr Hugh Walker) dismissed the case and gave Morris a severe reprimand. PAXTON SOCIETY.—A meeting of the members of the Paxton Society was held at the Board Room on Friday evening week last, under the presidency of Principal Bebb. The Secretary (Mr D. F. Lloyd) presented the balance sheet for the last year's show which showed an adverse balance of £3 12s. The report was received with satisfaction, and the members seemed highly satisfied with the admirable manner by which the executive committee and their energetic secretary, Mr Lloyd had carried out their work. It was resolved that the next show be held on Wednesday, September 3rd, on the College grounds, and an executive committee consisting of- the following persons was appointed to make further arrangements, viz.. Principal Beblo Messrs William Taylor, Falcondale; J. H. Jones, Bryn- awel; Morgan Davies, Bryn; H. Davenport, S.D.C.; Arthur Price, Bridge-street; John Davies, Glen- dale James Evans, Union House, and D. F. Lloyd (secretary). The Society appointed Col H. Davies- Evans the president of the show. The Society intend augmenting the prizes and hope to get the support of the inhabitants in order to bring the show to such a high perfection as the last one. General Sir James Hills-Johnes. V.C., visited Croydon on Saturday on behalf of Lord Roberts, and laid the foundation stone of New Addiscombe Memorial Church, which is being built in com- memoration of the East India Company's Military College at Addiscombe, where Lord Roberts was a cadet with General Hills-Johnes. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians of the Lampeter Union was held on Friday last at the Board's room. The chairman Mr David Davies, Velindre, presided, and there were also present the Rev R C Jones (vice-chairman), Messrs Lewis Davies, Llancrwys; B J Evans, Llanfair-clydogau David Davies. Cellan; Wm Jones, Llangybi; Evan Davies, John Griffiths, Thos Williams, Llanwenog; W Inglis Jones, Bettws Bledrws; James Jones, Rhosycorn; T H R Hughes, Llanwnen; David Evans and Wm Edwards, Pencarreg; J E Lloyd (clerk); E D Rees (assistant clerk); Dr Evans (medical officer); James Evans (master) and David Evans and Mr Wm Davies (relieving officers). STATISTICS. The amount of out-door relief administered during the past fortnight per Mr David Evnns, for the Llanybyther district, was iC40 2s 6d to 127 paupers; per Mr Wm Davies, for the Lampeter dis- trict, £34 2s to 118 paupers. Number of inmates in the house 20, corresponding period last year 22. Number of vagrants relieved during the past fort- night 70; corresponding period last year 23, an in- crease of 47. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST SMALL-POX. The Local Government Board wrote stating that in view of the out-break of small-pox, they thought it desirable to draw the attention of the Guardians to the circular addressed to them by the Board on the 13th February, 1893, and 30th Juli, 1895. In those letters the Board stated as follows :—There is no doubt that there is considerable risk of small- pox being spread by means of casual paupers, and the Board trust that the Guardians and their officers will take such measures as will tend, as far as possible, to diminish this danger. The regula- tions of the Board relative to the relief of casual paupers, which were issued on the 18th December, 1882, by Act 13, provide that in the event of any casual pauper being ill, the master of the workhouse, or the superintendent of the casual wards, shall, as soon as practicable, obtain the attendance of the medical oflcer, who shall give directions as to the treatment, of such pauper. The Board consider it a matter of great importance that the attention of the medical officer should be at once called to any casual pauper who may complain of illness, or who, in the absence of complaint, may present any suspicious symptoms; and they request that the Guardians will be so good as to give instructions to the master of the house, or superintendent of the casual wards as will ensure that this shall be done, and that the greatest vigilance may be exercised to check the discharge of persons who are likely to be suffering from small- pox, or, being convalescent, may still be a source of danger to others. The regulations of the Board contemplate that under ordinary circumstances a casual pauper, when ill, shall be removed to the workhouse but the Guardians will realise that, as a general rule, patients suffering from small-pox cannot be retained on the workhouse premises without serious risk of the spread of the disease. The sanitary authorities are especially empowered by Section 131 of the Public Health Act to pro. vide hospital accommodation for the isolation of persons suffering from dangerous infectious disease, and when the sanitary authority have provided a hospital suitable for the reception of small-pox cases, the Board consider that the Guardians should, if possible, arrange beforehand with the :sanitary authority for the reception into such hospital, when necessary, of any persons suffering from small-pox, for whom relief is required. The Board are ad. vised that, as a general rule, only circumstances of grave urgency justify the admission or retention of a small-pox oase in a workhouse. The Guardians, wnen mere is no nospiiai aireauy proviueu uy the sanitary authority affording suitable accom- modation, should immediately consider, in concert with the medical officer of health, what other pro- vision for the due isolation of patients is practicable. The Board must at the same time observe that when a case of small-pox occurs, whether in the casual wards or the workhouse, and indeed, in times of small-pox prevalence generally, it is, in the opinion of the Board, of the greatest importance that measures should at once be taken to secure, as far as practicable, vaccination, or re-vaccination, of .ot-her'in mates, so far as the medical officer may tke consider needful. Care should especially be taken that the nurses and other persons employed to at- tend upon the patients, or brought into personal contact with them, should be such as have within a sufficiently recent period been either successfully re-vaccinated, or had the small-pox; or, when there is a difficulty in securing them, that such persons should at once be re-vaccinated as a protection against the disease. The Medical Officer asked what could he do, as he had also received a letter from the Local Gov- ernment Board, stating that they could supply lymph sufficient for primary cases. He could not vaccinate without lymph, and for the several cases he had already done he had to buy it from private firms. The Clerk suggested that each person whowished to be re-vaccinatad should pay for it himself until there was a less demand for it, as at the present time there was a great run on the Local Govern- ment Board. In reply to questions put by Mr Inglis Jones, the Medical Officer said that there were no cases of small-pox in this Union. The Local Government Board snpplied the lymph free. It was thereupon agreed that the Medical Officer should charge all persons desirous of being re-vaccinated as private patients. As to the accommodation of patients suffering from small-pox, the Clerk said the Corporation was trying to get a suitable building as an isolation hospital, and when any cases occurred the patients could be sent there. Compulsory power was given to remove patients suffering from such disease to the hospital, but when the patient resided in a large house, with several vacant rooms and where there was not a large family they could not demand the patient to be removed. LYMPH FOR RE-VACCINATION. The Clerk said that since the discussion with the Medical Officer, earlier in the meeting, he had received a circular from the Local Government Board, which stated that the Board would be prepared to sanction any necessary expenditure incurred by the Guardians, should they find it necessary to supplement from other sources the supply of lymph obtained from the Department. The Chairman remarked that that now did away with difficulties which presented themselves before and met all their requirements. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. Mr Lewis Davies, Llancrwys, presided over a meeting of the Llanybyther Rural District Council held on Friday last. There were also present Dr E C Thomas (medical officer), and Mr J Parry Thomas (inspector). ANNUAL REPORT. The Medical Officer submitted his annual report in which he stated that the population of the dis- trict according to the last census was 3,796, as com- pared with 3,949 in 1891. The number of births during the year was 96, or 25 per 1000 of the pop- ulation the number of deaths, 76, or 20 per 1000. The number of deaths under 1 year was 17, or 177 per 1000 births registered. The number of cases of infectious disease which occurred in the district was as follows i—diptheria 17 erysipelas 3, scar- let fever 4, enteric 3, total 27. The death rate among infants was rather high. He believed that the hygienic condition under which infants were reared would account for this. The causes of death were whooping cough, 3 diphtheria, 2 epidemic influenza, 3 enteritis, 1; erysipelas, 1; phthisis, 3 other tubercular diseases, 3 cancer, 3 bronchitis, 2 pneumonia, 3 chlorosis of liver, 2; heart disease, 9 other diseases, 1 accidents, 1. Tubercular diseases, including :phthisis, formed 144 per 1000 of the deaths. Poor accommodation, want of light and ventilation, as well as damp floors and walls were conditions prevalent through out the district. They read a good deal about these being the causes of consumption, but he feared people did not fully realise it. Something more than a sanatorium was necessary, as very few people can afford to spend periods in such establishments. The only means of stamping it out was to display greater activity in sanitary duties, and especially in forbidding the erection ef dwelling houses unfit for human habitation. The cottages of Tymawr, Parkyrhos, in the parish of Pencarreg, where diphtheria broke out were condemned as being in an unsanitary condition owing to a quantity of stagnant water in a.gutter dug round the houses, and also the pigstye was in too close proximity to the same. He was glad to be able to report that during last year measures were taken to secure a supply of water for Llanybyther and Ram villages and a drainage system for the former. It had been decided to provide a supply for the upper and lower part of Llanybyther from separate sources, as otherwise it would be impossible to obtain a sufficient quantity from one source. The Analyst's report was very satisfactory. According to the surveyor a storage reservoir of 21,000 gallons, sufficient for a five days' supply was necessary. He quite agreed as he understood that only one of the springs at the source could be thoroughly relied upon during the summer months. The lower village was to be supplied from Ffynon Velvet where the supply was ample. The Analyst's report was very satisfactory. The estimated cost of both supplies was about £600. A closed drain had been made in Cae-Velvet from the Manchester and Milford Railway along the garden walls down as far as the Pharmacy, and it was intended to extend it further towards the Black Lion fields. He would suggest that a pump be sunk at the upper end of the drain to flush it out periodically, as the waste water from botlk water supplies would not be sufficient to keep it clean. The source of the Pen- carreg water supply bad not been definitely fixed upon, as it was difficult to decide what best to do. There were many things to be considered, and he could not do better than express his approval of the conclusions which the surveyor had arrived at. The schools of the district were in a fairly satis- factory state. The Llanybyther Board School was being extended, and new urinals and water closets built, the latter with the dry earth system, which was very suitable in rural districts. In concluding, he could not help alluding to the unfair criticisms on the district medical officers' made by the Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire County Councils some time ago. They were accused of not taking sufficient interest in sanitary matters. If these Council's wished the medical officers to take a more active part in the work, they them- selves should take a keener interest in those matters. The reports of the district medical officers, which were compiled with great labour, were hardly noticed-simply cursorily read over and consigned to the waste paper basket. When the master evinced a lack of interest in the work, the servants naturally became apathetic. SCARLET FEVER. The medical officer of health (Dr E. C. Thomas), stated that a case of scarlet fever bad occurred at Llanybyther. RAM WATER SUPPLY. Mr Rhys W. Jones. surveyor to the Lampeter Town Council, who had been engaged by this Council to prepare a scheme for the Pencarreg and Llanybyther Water supply, attended the meeting to support his report, which he had made relating to these two places, and (which has already been reported in this paper. Mr Jones having given his views on the Pencarreg water supply, the Council decided that he should prepare a scheme as soon as possible.
Football. PONTARDULAIS v. ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE. The College team journeyed to Pontardulais on Saturday last to play the town team.—Pontardulais kicked off on a slippery and treacherous ground, and were immediately in the visitors' quarters. W. Jones partly relieved, and then the home forwards were almost over, a drop at goal failing. Lampeter pressed but were repulsed. Dan Lewis checked two rushes of the Ponty forwards. J. T. Davies and W. Jones for the College made good rushes. Play was very vigourous, several men being temporarily laid out. Lampeter were penalised for off-side play, the homesters pressed, the Lampeter back's kick was charged down and Cope scored, Ho wells converting. A fine passing run by the home quarters ended in Rob Jones being checked just on the line. The Coll forwards rushed up well and gained two minors. Austin Davies kicked and tackled well. Ponty hereabouts were pressing hard, and were dangerous several times. A rush by the ho:ne forwards was checked by Bond touching down. D. P. Davies tor Lampeter was almost over, being splendidly tackled in the corner. Half-time— Pontardulais—1 goal. College-Nil. On the restart the Lampeter captain dodged and tackled splendidly, and caused the College to press. Leonard's kick was charged down, but Bond saved magnificently. Pontardulais coatinued to press heavily, and were with difficulty kept out. The Lampeter defence was tried to its uttermost, but responded well. John Howells made a grand drop at goal but just missed. Lampeter forwards heeled out well and relieved. Play continued very fast, and many players were temporarily rendered hors de combat." College worked up smartly along the touch-line, but were carefully watched. Rob Jones got over, but was brought back for a knock-on, and immediately after Ponty got over in the corner after an evident breach of the same rule. The College played up well, but were unable to penetrate the home defence. Jack Evans ran in another try for Pontardulais, which was unconverted. The score hardly represented the game. Ponty were only superior in smartness, and took advantage of oppor- tunities better. Final score- Pontardulais, 1 goal, 2 tries. Lampeter College, ni.l

CARDIGAN. APPOINTMENT.—We understand that the Rev D J Evans, vicar of Cardigan, has been pleased to accept the chaplaincy of the Cardigan Volunteers, in succession to the Rev D H Davies, whe resigned the position some time ago. THE CHURCHES.—The benefice of Aberponh has been offered by the Bishop of St David's to the Rev Thomas Phillips, curate of Llandefaelogfacb, wlio has accepted it. The benefice is of the net value of Z120 a year, without a residence house. DEATH OF MR GRIFFITH GEORGE.—It is with regret that we have this week to chronicle the death of Mr Griffith George, Glanllynau, which sad event occurred on Sunday of last week. Deceased was greatly respected throughout the district. The funeral took place on Thursday the 23rd inst, and the cortege was the largest seen in Cardigan for some time. The place of interment wasBlaenwaun, St Dogmells. Deceased was 71 years of age. MAYORAL CHAIN.—The provision of a mayoral chain for Cardigan, it is safe to predict, will be a thing of the near future. There appears to have been many difficulties in the way, but they are judging from appearances, rapidly disappearing. The Mayor (Mr Arthur Clougher) is taking up the matter in earnest, and is being well supported in his efforts by surviving past mayors, and relatives of those deceased. A private meeting was called on Thursday of last week, where the matter was most thoroughly considered, and it is generally believed that the question can almost be looked upon within the range of things accomplished. BOROUGH POLICE COURf.-Held at the Council Chamber, Cardigan, on Monday, before the Mayor Mr Arthur Clougber (in the chair), Mr D Ivor Evans, and Mr 0 Beynon Evans.—P.C. D Davies summoned David Jones, Trefaesfach. Blaenportb, for being drunk while in charge of a horse and trap on the 11th inst.—Defendant did not appear.—P.C. Davies deposed that at 8 30 p.m. on the 11th inst he saw defendant drunk in charge of a horse and trap in Priory-street. Some friends took him back to Cardigan from Llechryd road. Witness took the horse and trap to the Angel yard and put the horse in the stable. About an hour and a half later de- fendant was driving home.—A fine of 5s and costs was imposed. A GROUNDLESS RUMOUR.—Considerable excite- ment was caused in Cardigan on Monday morning by a rumour being circulated throughout the town that a case of small-pox had been reported from the lower part of the town. A private meeting of the Town Council was held in the Council Chamber at 10 o'clock, when we believe the matter was fully discussed, but the representatives of the press were not admitted. Our correspondent was informed during the day, on excellent anthority, that there was absolutely no foundation in the rumour, and that there was no case of small-pox in the town. Notwithstanding this fact many persons were re- vaccinated on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, evidently believing in the old ad-age that prevention is better than cure." BALL.-Miss Ayli-ng gave her annual ball at the Shire Hall, Cardigan on Wednesday evening of last week, which proved a thorough and pronounced success. Some seventy to eighty guests put in an appearance, and dancing was merrily kept up from eight o'clock until 1 45 a.m. The room had been most tastefully decoratel with flags, burning, and evergreens, and excellent light refreshments were provided by Miss Ayling. The music was supplied by Miss Roberts, and gave every satisfaction. Amongst those present we noticed the Mayor and Mayoress (Mr Arthur Clougher and Miss Clougher) Mr J Land Mrs Stokes, the ex-Mayoress (Mrs D Ivor Evans), Mrs Davies and Miss Evans, Clare- mont; Mrs Davies, Stanley House; Miss Phillips, Bridge House; Mrs Nicholas, Metropolitan Bank; Mrs Richards. Heathfield; Miss Evans, Black Lion Hotel; Miss Gwladys Davies, Gordon-terrace; the Misses .Nellie and 6-wladys Stanley Davies, Mrs Sharp, Miss Gwen James, Gwalia House; the Misses Violet and Connie Daniel: Mr and Mrs J Daniel, High-street; Miss S Jones, St Mary's- streot; Miss Mabel Adey; Miss E Jones, Bridge- street; Miss Nicholas, Miss Cecil Richards, a num- ber of Miss Ayling's pupils. Mr R Havard, St Dog- mell's Mr E 0 Evan&, Lloyd's Bank Mr Griffith, N and P Bank Mr JT J Jones. Bridge-street; Mr J Lloyd,. Lloyd's Bknk; Mr D T James, Gwalia House; Mr W T N Gordon, Commercial Hotel; Mr ftrry Jones, Mr Egerton Jones, Miss M. Griffiths, Bridge-street, etc. GOLF CLUB,-An adjourned meeting was-held at the Council Chamber on Saturday afternoon of last week for the purpose of discussing the question of re-starting the golf club. They were present the Mayor (Mr Arthur Clougher),Col Howell,Pantgwyn; Captain W Picton Evans, Mr W James, Caemorgan; Mr D Ivor Evans, Mr J L Stokes, Dr Rees, Mr Jones, N. and P. Bank; Mr A Brigstocke, and Mr Edward Williams. On the proposition of Colonel Howell, seconded by Mr W James, the Mayor was voted to the chair. Mr W James said that be had been the secretary of the old club. He believed that they bad about LM: in hand, but they owed about £7 10s for rent. It was a matter for the syndicate to decide. Hia bad spoken to Mr Morgan Richardson and be thought: that they could do away with the old club, and that the syndicate would subscribe materially towards the new club providing they agreed to pay JS10 a year as rent. They bad been around the ground, and they were of opinion that excellent links could be formed near the Gwbera"Hotel. It might be possible to continue the old club, in which case they would have the rules already framed. He did not think that the new club would be put to any expense in taking over the old. Colonel Howell thougnt that it would be a matter of great convenience to have the final hole. near the Hotel at Gwbert. The Mayor was of opinion that the new clnb should not be re- sponsible for the liabilities of the old. Colonel Howell proposed that a new club be started. The proposition was seconded and carried. Mr Jones said that so far twenty-two had definitely promised to become members. Mr W James said that the old club charged an entrance fee of ZI Is Od for gentlemen, 10s 6d for ladies, and £2 2s Od for a family ticket. He would now propose that the entrance fee for gentlemen be 10s 6d, and 5s for ladies, and £1 Is for a family ticket. Mr Jones stated that some were prepared to give El Is as a donation. Mr W James' proposition was carried. Col Howell proposed that the name of the old club, The Tivyside Golf Club," be still ob. served. This was carried. The rules of the club were gone into in detail, and some altered. The following were appointed officers of the club:- President, Col Howell, proposed by Mr D Ivor Evans, and seconded by the Mayor; secretary, Mr Jones, N and P Bank, proposed by Mr A Brigstocke, and seconded by Captain W PicionEvans; captain, Mr W James, proposed by Mr D Ivor Evans, and seconded by Mr Edward Williams. The following were appointed on the committee:—Captain W Picton Evans, Mr D Ivor Evans, Mr J L Stokes, Dr Rees, Capt W P Pryse, Mr Edward Williams, and the Mayer. Vice-presidents: Mr Morgan. Richard- son, Col Picton Evans,. Mr A Brigstocke, and Mr Colby treasurer, Mr Griffith, N and P Bank. The president, on taking the chair,: said he thanked them most sincerely for electing him as president of the club. Anything that he oould do he would do, but he was afraid that they had a duffer for a golfer. It was eventually decided to ask Mr Finsell to come over and examine the course. THE MAYOR OF NEWPORT. PEM. At the Llwyngwair Arms, Newport (Pem.), on Wednesday in last week, a.meeting of the Corpora- tion was held, when Mr J Williams* draper, Cross House, was duly sworn in as Mayor, the office hav- ing become vacant through the recent death of Captain Meyrick. Mr Williams was nominated on the day of the late,Mayor's funeral, and, according to custom, afterwards approved; of and appointed by Sir Marteine Lloyd, liord Marcher. Born at Tymawr, Boncath, Pern.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Cardigan Board of Guardians was held at the Board Room at the Workhouse, St Dogmells, on Thursday of last week,. Mr B. Rees, in the chair. There were also present—Mr Jonah Evans, Mr George Biddyr, Mk G. James, Mr T. H. Williams, Mr T. Colby, Mr Lewis Davies, and Mr T. Edwards, together with the Clerk (Mr IX Davies).

AHERFFR WD: ■ EXTERT AIXlIIET.-A very successful entertain- ment was given at the Board School on Friday evening week last. The chair was occupied by Mr Joseph Morgan, C.M. Long before the published time for commencement the room was filled to its limits. An interesting 'programme was gone through the chief item of which being :—Bardic address by Mr J Jenkins recitations by Misses Maggie Miles, Florrie Alford song by Mr E Davies duet, Betty Wyn fy Nghariad," Messrs J Jenkins and J Morgan recitation, Mr W Owen song, Y Deryn Pur,"Miss M E Jenkins; dialogue, Mr J Powell, and Miss S Powell; duet, Mr and Mrs Mathews, London; recitation, Mr G Benjamin trio, Mr J Jenkins and party song, I- Yr esgyd ar y traeth," Miss Maggie Richards recitation, Miss L M James song, The Longshoreman," Mr Went; recitation, Miss L Powell quartette, Mr E Morgan. and party song.

Several other items were also intro- duced. The Chairman thanked the English :friends who so kindly contributed to the programme and further mentioned the fact that Mr Went was a member of the Welsh Choir that visited the Paris Exhibition. His renderings during the evening were greatly enjoyed. The singing of the English and Welsh National anthems brought the meeting to a close.
ABERAYRON. LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.-Tbe debate on the subject. That cheap printing is not beneficial to the community," which took place on Friday last, was the flattest listened to for many a long day. Mr C. J. Hughes, B.A., took the affirmative of the proposition as it stands, and Mr William Williams the negative. The speeches of the openers showed that they had given little thought to the subject and they expressed what they had to say in a weak manner, their speeches occupying together about ten minutes. The other speakers were:—On the affirmative, Miss Scott and Mr David Williams; and on the negative, Mr Dew- hurst, Mr Seex, Mr E. Lima Jones, the President, Mr Tom Davies, Mr Occie Davies, Mr Lee Davies, and Miss Olive Jones. As was naturally to be expected after the feeble opening speeches, all the various speakers showed up poorly. The debate lacked the enthusiasm which generally charac- terises the proceedings of this Society. READING ROOM.— Verily it is no wonder that the Reading Room does not pay its way. It is every evening filled with a crowd of rowdy boys, whose conduct at their games of draughts and chess is hardly conformable to the rules which one might expect to find adhere4 to at a reading room as such. For several days recently several of the papers, notably the "South Wales Daily News," have been removed from the table by somebody. COUNTY SCHOOL.—This week the number of pupils has gone up higher again. The entertain- ment arranged by Miss Scott and Mr Williams for the benefit of the library funds will come off this day fortnight. It will consist of three parts:— Christy Minstrels, Mrs Jarley's waxworks, and a laughable farce entitled, My Turn Next." The entertainment will thus provide a great variety of good things, each section being of an^exceptionally taking character. About twenty of the school- boys will form the troupe of Christy Minstrels. BRITISH SCHOOL.—Miss Gretta Rees has passed her third year's pupil-teachership examinations, obtaining the mark "well." Miss Elizabeth Davies, Gwalia House, also another of the staff has com- pleted her first year creditably. THE TOWN LIGHTS.—The authorities of Aber- ayron are nothing if they are not promoters of education, and that of the highest type, especially scientific and technical education. The truth oi this statement may not be apparent at first, but if one looks into the root, into the cause as it were, of various curious customs prevailing in our town, one has to admit the truth of this assertion. For instance, upon first aquaintance with the town, the stranger cannot understand, and, therefore, as usual in such cases, misunderstands, why it is that in the case of the town-lights, the lamps should be all lit when the moon is at its full, but that when the moon is wholly hidden there should be no lighting of the lamps at all. But the truth has suddenly flashed out, even as an inspiration comes at times. The new theory is this :—The lamps are lit when the moon waxeth strong so that we may have light whereby we may carefully study the, moon, and the starry firmament on high, thus promoting the use- ful and instructive study of astronomy. Again when the moon is not seen, what is the need for lamps? For the proper study of astronomy and lunonomy one must be able to see the objects studied. Also a perfectly dark night is conductive to the making of poets, and to the forming of the heroij strain in men. Who, after these, explana- tions of one of the misunderstood—and this is only one-actions of our town authorities, will say that they—the authorities, not the actions-are not actuated by the highest regard for the public welfare and progress ?
ABERDOVEY. AMBULANCE CLASSES.—For the present these classes are at a standstill, owing to the half- hearted attendance of a majority of the members. If the members are desirous of continuing these useful and instructive lectures, so ably given by Dr Jackson, will they kindly intimate their intention to attend regularly to the honorary secretary, Mr Owain Jones, chemist, in the course of the next day or two. If no effort is made by the mem- bers to maintain these classes they must inevitably fall through. TEMPERANCE.-Last Sunday evening's temper- ance meeting, held as usual in the Assembly Rooms, was presided over by Mr John Pugh. Addresses were delivered by Mr John Lumley, Church-street, and the Rev Hugh Ellis, Maentwrog. On the pro- position of Mr John Lumley, Glandwr, seconded by Mr David Hughes, a vote of condolence was unanimously passed with Mr E.L. Rowlands, Liver- pool House, who that morning had received the sad news of his brother's death in India, of which further particulars will be found below. Mr John Owen, Celtic House, has been appointed chairman for the ensuing month. GIFT OF BOOKS.—Mr Joha Lumley, secretary of the Aberdovey Temperance Society, has this week received from Mr A. E. Eccles, Chorley, a box con- taining a large assortment of valuable temperance and poetry books, lectures, magazines and pamphlets. The Society could not do better than present the books suitable for the shelves of the library to the Literary Institute, where they would be carefully looked after, and would also be easily accessible. We are glad to learn that the splendid selection of books recently presented to the Library by the Temperance Society are in great demand by the members. UNITED DEBATING SOCIETY.—Last Thursday evening, in the Lower room of the Institute, a most interesting and instructive debate was opened by Corpl. JS. Evans and Mr Evan Roberts. Bethel House, as to which power was the more essential to the British Empire—the Army or the Navy. The fowner was championed by Curpl J Evans, whilst the Navy found a very able supporter in Mr Evan Roberts. Mr E L Rowlands presided over a very full house, and the papers of both openers were listened to with rapt attention by all. The claims of tfie Army to be the power most worthy of retention for the maintenane-dprotection of the British Empire were well put forward by Corpl J. Evans in his opening paper, but he was rather weak in his reply at the close of the debate. Mr Evan Roberts at much length recapitulated the splendid deeds of Nelson, Drake, and Howard, and endeavoured by taking into consideration the insular position of Great Britain as the Mother of the British Empire, to uphold the claims of the Navy as the more indispeasable of the two powers. Dis- cusion free and full followed the reading of the papers, and many members, too numerous to men- tion individually, took part. Such apparent impossibilities as aerial warships were mooted, but the supporters of the Nevy were not to be shaken in their faith, and, when put to the vote, gained a majority of about seven. This very successful meeting, which is but one of the many that have preceded it and will succeed it, was brought to a close with the passing of a very hearty vote of thanks to the two members who had gone to soch pains to plepare suoh an intellectual treat for aU who were iavouied to bear them. To-night the aifrcussicn will be Wlicb is the wore enemy of Society—the drunkard or the miser ?v A very interesting meeting can be confidently antic cipated. L DEATH OF LIEUT. KOVLAXDS. On the 5tb instant at the beautiful home of Mr Marsland, Bombay, the dtath took place of Lieut. J A Rowlands, the much beloved brother of Mr E L Rowlands. Liverpool House, Aberdovey. Lieu- tenant Rowlands was recently the quarter master of the large Boer prisoners' camp at Diyatalawa, Ceylon, but on the advice of his medical officer, had obtained a month's leave of absence to go and re- cruit his health by means of a sea-voyage to Bom- bay. While staying here be was attacked by a. malignant form of the malarial fever, and died in about six days. He was a native of Llanbrynmair, and about eighteen years ago enlisted in the Queen's service. By dint of an exemplary life, and assiduous attention to duty he rose from the ranks and obtained a commission. His promotion of late years has been rapid, and a proof was given of his trustworthiness and the great esteem in which he was held, by his being chosen to the onerous post of Quartermasterat the Boer prisoners' camp, Ceylon. He was well known and his character greatly admired by all in Aberdovey. where he spent most of his furlough during his periodical visits to this country. Though only thirty-seven years of age, he had within a short period completed his twenty-one years service in India, and had expressed his in- tention of coming home to stay after thebreaking up of the prisoners' camp. But" my ways are not your ways." was whispered in his ear by God's messen- ger, and he was called suddenly to his eternal home. We understand that if called upon to die in India, he had expressed a wish to die at Mr Marsn- land's house, and Providence granted him his wish. He was a true son of the Empire, and one of Nature's own gentlemen. Great sympathy is ex- pressed with his brother, Mr E L Rowlands, iu his great bereavement, who is himself one of our most kind-hearted fellow-townsmen. Most sincere sympathy has also been shown to his widowed mother, and sister at Llanbrynmair.

Berth, near Tregaron. PLOUGHING MATCH.—The young farmers of tba- neighbourhood, have, of late, taken great interest in ploughing matcnes. A number of them gathered together at Llwyngefys last Friday week, when after a long discussion it was unanimously decided to have a ploughing match at Llwyngefys. The following officials were duly elected:—Mr Thomas Jones, Tyncae, was appointed chairman, and Mr Dan Jones, Broncapel, as treasurer, while Mr John Williams, junior, Pontgaramddwr, was appointed to perform the secretarial work.

MAESYCRUGIAU. FIRE.—A somewhat serious fire occurred at the Manor Hall, Maesycrugiau, on Tuesday evening last, when some outbuildings were burnt to the ground, the property of Sir C. C. Mansell, Bart. The fire was first discovered about eight o'clock in the evening by some of the servants, and it W had suoh a strong hold that it was impossibie to ex- tinguish it, there being no water at hand, and the number of bands were scarce.

The Crazy Rituals of Creative People
Did you know that Benjamin Franklin started his day with an "air bath" – which means he sat around naked? And that Thomas Wolfe wrote while standing up in the kitchen, utilizing the top of the refrigerator as his desk, fondling his "male configurations"? Jean-Paul Sartre chewed on enough tablets to meet ten times the recommended daily dosage of Corydrane (a mix of amphetamine and aspirin). The painter Georgia O'Keefe rose early to drink tea alone in bed and watch the sun rise before entering her studio. And the writer Honore de......

How Reading Literary Fiction Makes Us More Empathetic
My grandmother used to say, 'you are what you eat', (even despite her lovingly burning everything she cooked).? My mother would say, 'you are how you spend your money' while my father would think 'you are what you spend your time on'. And I can still hear my middle school principal's admonishment 'you are who your friends are'. ?Undoubtedly, they were all right to some extent, as lots of things contribute to "who we are". Well, that list just got longer.? ?According to psychologists David Comer Kidd and Emanuele Castano at the......

text: Health Minister Ya'acov Litzman submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cabinet secretary Tzachi Braverman Sunday over Israel Railways work done on Shabbat.Litzman told reporters at the Prime Minister's Office that he had no choice but to resign after Israel Railways continued to employ Jews on the Sabbath. He said he would remain in the coalition and he hopes his reforms in the Health Ministry continue."In all generations, the Shabbat has kept us, and it is the basis of the covenant between the Jewish people and God," Litzman said. "Unfortunately, Israel Railways has recently made Shabbat the national day of repair work, including unnecessary work done just to anger people. It has been done despite the coalition agreement and the status quo on matters of religion and state."In his resignation letter, Litzman lamented that he did not succeed in preventing the repairs from taking place on Shabbat, which he wrote were a red line for him.In a video Litzman published, he said that as a minister, he cannot accept collective responsibility for the breaking of Shabbat. He said that as health minister he tried to help the entire population, regardless of their sector and affiliation, and had many accomplishments.Litzman denied to speculate to reporters about how long his United Torah Judaism Party and Shas would stay in the coalition. Shas leader Arye Deri boycotted Sunday's cabinet meeting to protest his bill that would close stores in Tel Aviv on Shabbat not being on the agenda of the Ministerial Committee on Legislation.Litzman became health minister in September 2015, after the Supreme Court said he could not run the ministry as a deputy minister.Netanyahu told the cabinet that he was disappointed Litzman quit and that Shabbat would remain important to his government."I am sure we will find a wise solution to the problem," he said. "We are working on it, and it is at hand."Labor and Welfare Minister Haim Katz denied accusations that he allowed railway work to take place on Shabbat in order to hurt Netanyahu politically.Netanyahu told Likud ministers he would keep the Health portfolio. He asked them to not speak about what happened with Litzman in order to avoid inflaming tensions.Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel, who did not hear Netanyahu's request, because she is in Egypt, said Litzman was one of the best health ministers Israel has had and that she hopes he returns to the cabinet table.Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid called upon Netanyahu to immediately appoint a full-time health minister, calling it "a matter of life and death."

Many vigilantes were reportedly killed in an air raid by a yet-to-be-identified aircraft in Galadima Kogo, a community in Shiroro Local Government Area, Niger State, on Tuesday.
Several members of the vigilante group, including its leader, were also injured in the bombing, locals said.
The vigilante members were bombed as they were preparing to counter an attack against terrorists who had earlier attacked their community.
A community leader told PREMIUM TIMES that during the attack, several villagers were kidnapped and several herds of cattle were rustled.
The community leader, who asked not to be named for security reasons, confirmed the incident over the phone.
"It is unbelievable. As of now, I cannot say how many people were killed, but I know they are many," he told PREMIUM TIMES.
"What I know is that two Hilux vans have evacuated the dead from the camp.
"It is the vigilante men that have been protecting us against these bandits and now that many of them have been killed, we are at the mercy of the gunmen," the source added.
The state's Commissioner for Internal Security and Humanitarian Affairs, Emmanuel Umar, confirmed the incident but did not confirm the number of those killed or wounded.
"Government is already on top of the incident as we are battling with the survivors and injured and how to restore peace to the area," the commissioner added.
Neither the Nigerian army nor the air force has commented on the air raid. However, the air force has regularly carried out air raids in the state to target terrorists operating in rural communities. Sometimes, civilians, including children, fall victim to such raids which are then covered up by the authorities, a PREMIUM TIMES investigation found.
Tuesday's incident happened barely three days after three persons were killed and three others abducted in Gwada town, in the same local government area.
Niger, in north-central Nigeria, is one of the states most troubled by terror groups, locally called bandits. The groups have killed thousands of people and kidnapped many more, mostly in rural communities of the affected northern states.
Other states affected by the banditry include Kebbi, Katsina, Zamfara and Kaduna.

Unanswered Prayer Part 2
|October 12, 2021
|Greetings Pray-ers,
Unfulfilled prayer – even this past week, I became aware of a relationship, prayed and hoped for, that did not come to pass. The temptation was to question "What happened?" While I'm purposefully being vague on what type of relationship this was, I am inclined to think most of us have had an experience similar to this. Because what we were praying for seemed to make sense, as it was a God-honoring prayer. But when the answer was no, we became introspective. Perhaps we did not pray hard enough, well enough, or deep enough; perhaps we did something that voided our prayers.
The human race has never been very good at obeying God. We see this in the scriptures. Throughout the Old Testament, the Hebrew people were constantly wanting to do their own thing or have their own way. God's people would walk in alignment with God's ways; then they wanted what they shouldn't have; thus they fell into abject sin and walked away from their God. Because of their sin, they faced the consequences of that sin (which usually involved death or enslavement); and then……finally…..they cried out to God for relief. A young friend once shared, "The Jewish people certainly weren't very smart." My response was, "I know, and we are just like them." So! It does not set well when the answers to our prayers are not what we were looking for. We want answers; we want them now! If I don't get what I want, to me it then becomes obvious the Lord does not care about me.
But….does this mean that God doesn't love or care for us? Our immediate response is no, absolutely not! But, there could be one or two who have to think about the question. I hope you had the opportunity to look last week at the list of bible verses showing us how God sees us and how he hears our prayers. The link to that PDF is still below. I found myself seeing God's promises in those verses. This past week, two verses stood out to me.
· O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. Psalm 139:1-4
This verse not only encourages me but it also keeps my "plumb line" centered on my Lord. The Lord knows every detail of who I am. This verse is also a bit disconcerting because if the Lord knows every aspect of my life, am I living my life in a way that is honoring to my Lord? I love the fact that He knows what I'm going to say before I say it. To me, this means in part that I don't have to impress my Lord with verbose (aka long-winded) prayers. Instead, I can be concise and heartfelt.
· …..The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Romans 8:26-27
This is another verse I've learned to depend upon. A few days back I had the opportunity to pray with a lady who was going through difficult trials. At one point, I confessed out loud, "Lord, I don't know how to pray about this." Immediately, I knew in my spirit that the Spirit of the Living God was interceding on behalf of both of us; and, he was giving me the words to continue praying. The Lord desires this kind of intimacy with his children.
If you've not had the opportunity to read the attached verses, I encourage you to do so now. Perhaps even consider underlining each of God's promises or attributes you find. If you believe that God's word is true; if you have received Jesus/Yeshua as your Lord; then, "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ…" Romans 8:16-17. With this knowledge, allow the power of God's Spirit (the Ruach haKodesh) to awaken within you the truth of how God sees you.
So…..we still have those unanswered and "unfairly" answered prayers. Next week I hope to share practical & biblical ways to remain engaged and even be encouraged during the times of waiting or processing through the disappointments.
Coming up on Saturday, October 30 – Encircle Tucson with Prayer. Please click on link below for more information.
Blessings & Shalom,

To Push Too Hard – Couch to 5k
Edit: This post was supposed to go up on Tuesday, October 4. For some reason, known only to the WordPress Gods, it decided to hide in it's little hole instead.
My legs hurt and I have a pretty nasty cough brewing in my chest. My head is even throbbing a little bit. I know I pushed myself too hard, but I still feel like I failed at my goal, and it was only the first day. When I decided to do the Couch to 5K, I had images in my head of me being suddenly able to sprint endless distances across the field, chasing down boffer guys ten years my junior. At no point did my imagination account for the fact that I am still a 350 pound man with bad knees and a half-a-pack a day habit.
Worse, I've forgotten how to properly run, and my ankles are telling me that is something I need to work on. I feel a little disappointed in myself because I didn't even make it through the full cycle. I managed to do the sprints twice but had to walk the rest of the twenty minutes, out of breath and barely able to keep pace with my 54-year-old father.
Over the course of the last year, I've been fairly proud of myself for the weight I've managed to loose, and it came as a pretty big surprise to me to realize that I'm in probably the worse shape of my life despite that. It's disheartening.
I'm not defeated, though.
I have a farther climb up the hill than I thought I did, but that doesn't mean I can't reach the top. It just means that I'm going to have to pace myself better.
Tonight I learned that I'm not ready for the jogging part. That just means that I have to start out by making sure I can walk the 3.1 miles. So, instead of trying to alternate jogging and walking for 20 minutes, I'm going to focus on building up my ability to walk for 3 miles without stopping. If that means focusing on one mile at a time, I guess that where I start.
There is no shame in taking extra steps, as long as I'm moving in the right direction.
Besides, I've got plenty of time left.
4 thoughts on "To Push Too Hard – Couch to 5k"
Don't be down on yourself about not completing the first run. Despite what a lot of people will tell you, the couch to 5k program IS hard. If you have been living a sedentary lifestyle and continue smoking your body is unprepared for a sudden shift in exercise regimen. What you have to remember is not to quit working at it and to listen to your body. If you push your body too far beyond its limits you risk injury that can set you back further than you already are, but you have to push to those limits to advance.
A couple of things that I am sure you already know. First, that cough isn't likely to go away until you quit smoking. Your body requires more oxygen when you exercise and in order to get that you need as much lung capacity as you can get, and in order to get more your lungs are going to start trying to get rid of the crap that's been building up inside of them.
Second, if you want to avoid runners injuries it helps to have good running shoes. Go to a good store, get professionally fitted, and pay for quality. Shoes alone can make a world of difference and can help prevent taking as much of a pounding on your knees as well as reducing the risk of shin splints.
Well, I've slowed down to walking. Did a mile last night in 18 minutes. That is still only 55 minutes to do a 5k, once I can get up to walking a full 5k.
Shoes are definitely important. I'm going to switch from my chucks to walking in my hiking boots. The ankle support will certainly help.
I'm with Treason. Don't feel bad about not completing the first run; the thing about couch to 5k is that it's designed for people to do at their own pace and since I hate running in all forms, my pace was to do it whenever I can be bothered (not often, exercise classes are more my speed.)
Don't give up. As you progress, it will get easier and easier and when you do reach the end, I'll remind you to go and read this entry to see how far you've come. Again as Treason said, shoes make all the difference so make sure you go cop a pair of running shoes. They work wonders. try if you can not to walk; even a slow and slight jog counts in this program. I'm rooting for you as always.*Pokes you in the neck* I'm going to need you to stop smoking. Thanks.
Walking has helped my legs already. I was in a lot of pain Tuesday but now I feel great. I do need to get running shoes before I start trying to run again.
