School's Trip.--The Trip this year was unusually successful, the subscriptions being better than usual, the weather absolutely perfect and the number consequently very large. We have to thank Miss Annie Davies and Miss Phillips for collecting, and Messrs. Charles Owen, John Davies, Tom Jerman, and E. Derry for selling tickets at a weirdly early hour of the morning. Owing to a great pressure on our space from other parishes we must defer the publication of our balance sheet to next month. TREFEQLWYS. We regret to record the death of Mr. Richard Bebb, which took place at his residence, The Village, Trefeglwys, on Monday morning, August 10th, at the age of 78 years. The deceased had been a strong and energetic man in his day, and was well-known as a most industrious farmer. Plain and outspoken in his dealings, he was much respected by all who knew him. For the last 21 years he had become almost helpless owing to the effects of rheumatic fever, which was a severe blow to one of such an active disposition. He, however, submitted with commendable resignation to the new order imposed upon him, and to the last, recognised without a murmur the " Hand of Providence." The funeral which was private, took place on the following Friday. A short service was held at the deceased's residence, in which the Revs. J. D. Jones, CM. minister, (formerly of Gleiniant), LI. Morgan (W.M.), and the Vicar took part. ' At Carno, the officiating ministers were the Vicar of Carno, assisted by the Vicar of Trefeglwys. Great sympathy is felt for the aged and lonelv widow in her bereavement. — R.I.P. LLANDINAM. Diocesan Board of Education.
