A highly representative meeting of farmers and others met in the Leominster Town Hall on Fri- day for the purpose of hearing addresses from Mr. E. M. Nunneley , President of the National Union ; Captain FitzHerbert Wright , M.P .; and Mr. J. M. Parry . Mr. Colebatch who presided urged the necessity of joining the Union . He did not intend to make a speech . They wanted to hear Mr. Nunnely and he would therefore call upon the Mayor to extend a welcome to their National President . THE MAYOR'S WELCOME . Councillor J. B. Dowding said : Mr. Chairman and gentlemen , on behalf of this ancient and in this case I may add agricultural Borough of Leo- It has minster I give you a hearty welcome . seemed to me for some time that there has been a lack of cohesion among farmers ; there has been no one in particular to watch their interest . Now they apparently intend to look after their own There has been among many a affairs ( cheers ) . disposition to criticise , but too little desire to do anything . As a small agriculturalist it is with special pleasure I give you welcome . MR . NUNNELEY'S ADDRESS . The Chairman then called on the National Presi- dent , who delivered a very interesting address as follows : the Mayor has said , I have It is as come here to advocate cohesion amongst farmers . It has been said that they would never combine , but we have come to a time when it is absolutely necessary . Up to a few years ago the only or ganisation which in any way represented agricul tural interests was the Chamber of Commerce and yet it was only in a very indefinite manner that it touched the farmers ' interests . It has been said that farmers , labourers and landowners have equal interests , but I want to say it would be better for each of them to have their own Unions and safe- guard their own concerns . We can best help one another by remaining separate . It is ten years since the Farmers ' Union was started by about 10 men ; it had now spread all over the country and included It had done a great 50,000 members . deal more than it had received credit for . True we have not had so loud a voice as we should and might have had , still it has been heard . If greater heed had been taken to what we said the disastrous mistake of fixing the prices of cattle at 74s . before THE KINGTON Herefordshire , but they South must get further representation and he would call upon all present to support the Union . They wanted a man who could live in London during the Parliamentary Sessions . He must be there to get the inner knowledge before contemplated legislation was in- troduced , otherwise he would be no use at all . A man who was not in the know might just as well be out of the House . What he would like to see was a permanent Secretary of the National Union who would live in London and be respon- . sible for a scheme of bold organisation . There should be also a Committee in the House which could consider even the whispers that were float- ing about . He would conclude by moving a vote of thanks to the speakers . The resolution was seconded by Mr. E. T. Cave and carried with acclamation . LEOMINSTER COTTAGE HOSPITAL . ANNUAL MEETING . The annual meeting of subscribers was held in the Free Library on Thursday , the 25th inst . The attendance was larger than for many years past . Mr. Theodore Neild was in the chair , others pres- ent were The Mayor ( Mr. J. B. Dowding ) , Messrs . J. Watkins , E. J. Paxton , E. W. Jones , Alderman H. F. Russell A. G. Hudson , R. B. Sandiland , W. St. G. Drennan , Miss Pryce Jones , the Misses Urwick , T. J. Enoch , E. P. Lloyd , Alderman H. Gosling , H. Bach , Hubert Reynolds , H. Griffiths , H. W. Rhodes , G. Butters , A. Rouch , T. Bannister , and the Treasurer ( Mr. S. R. Taylor ) . Apologies for absence were received from Mr. G. E. Wright ( Pudleston Court ) , Colonel Davidson , Captain Hey- gate , and the Vicar of Leominster ( the Rev. W. J. Nelson ) . The Chairman read the report , which follows : - was as TIMES .

Local Branch : -9 Corn Square , LEOMINSTER . LEOMINSTER COUNTY POLICE COURT . Friday , before Mr. Theodore Neild ( Chairman ) , Colonel Davidson , Major Chambers and Mr. Andrew Duncan . was ORLETON COMMON DISPUTANTS . Elizabeth Greenhouse , Orleton Common , charged with using threatening and abusive language towards Flarence Williams . Defendant did not appear and a doctor's certificate was pro duced certifying her inability to attend . Mr. Levick was for the complainant and Mr. Harold Easton for the defendant . Florence Williams stated that her mother was an invalid . She lived about five minutes ' walk away from defendant . On the 18th inst . she stood at the door with her mother when defendant , who was about 60 yards away , commenced use most insulting language . She said " Go in you , you want burning . " Later on there was a lot of stone throwing . The stones fell on an iron roof and were nuisance and an annoyance . Defendant said she was cutting wood and draw- | ing water at the time . Your Committee present their report with grate- ful thoughts of all those who have helped towards the satisfactory result which it chronicles . The list of cases speaks for itself , and says much also Cross - examined by Mr. Easton complainant said for the Medical Staff . The patients numbered 79 , she was about 30 yards away from defendant , but seven fewer than last year ; but the number of did not speak to her and did not say anything " hospital days " was 2,497 , which is record . about grass . She did not see Ernest Perks there . It gives a daily average of 6.84 patients . And , as I was not true that she called defendant a drunken we had only three - fifths of the number of soldiers nor did she use threatening that we had last year , it shows a language . material in- Mr. Bubb's land was adjoining . She had not heard anything about the fowls trespass- ing and had not had any complaints . crease in civilian patients . The work having been the greatest , and every cost having been at its . highest , our subscribers will note with relief that the balance due to the Treasurer is not more than £ 38 178. .2d . Happily our two mainstays , sub- scriptions and Hospital Sunday Collections , have been well maintained , and a large share of the special expenses has 1,000 come from special sources . Christmas and 645. after Christmas would not have been made . It resulted in a of the best beasts being killed which would have prevented the later scarcity and weighed one or two hundredweights more when killed . What hap- There was pened ? of large quantity meat thrown of the market ; people had plenty оп money and many ate three or four times as much as in ordinary times . That was now acknowledged to be a great mistake and it would been made had they been consulted . PRICE OF WOOL . never have In reference to wool the price is not what it should have been , but it would not have been as high as it is had our representatives not been on the Committee . The question is often asked what advantages can we get out of the Union ? He did not like that motive ; it was not a very high one . But even from that standpoint there were innum- erable advantages . I will mention one or two . Take the matter of legal disputes . A rich land- lord would rot hesitate to force a single farmer in any disputed case , but he would hesitate if that farmer was backed up by a powerful Union of 50 or 60 thousand men . The same thing applied where a rich Corporation was concerned . In the event of a farmer having to take a dispute to the High Courts the Union would back him up . It intended to provide a was special fund for the We do not want to fight , but it is still purpose . true that the best protected is the best prepared . Then there were cases where market charges were unfair . These could be re - adjusted when represen tations were made by a powerful body of ment which in the case of individuals would be impos- sible . Proceeding , he said there are great ques- tions for the future of agriculture . In the past it has suffered from the neglect of both parties and I am not sure whether in the future it would not suffer both account of on the over - care of parties . I hope that if there is to be con- trol we shall have EL few practical farmers for consulta- years ' experience . available We do not want amateurs who do of 50 tion . not know a wheat field from a field of barley . The House of Commons would be all the better if in it there were a few practical farmers . we LABOURERS ' WAGES . another even cry If we Day I do not think England will ever be an agricultu- ral country , and for many things I hope it will not . It is best we should remain mainly an indus trial country , but we must remember that at the basa of all industries is agriculture . The question of housing and wages would come before the House . Certainly wages had not been as high as they should have been , but whose fault was that ? Who could pay high wages with wheat at 25s , or 30s . per quarter and less than that ? have for cheap food must let it be understood we cannot a high wage . Though years ago I paid the mini- mum wage of 12s . per week , I was myself the lowest paid man on my farm .. I believe farmers are prepared to pay as good a wage to their work- men as are manufacturers . I have advanced my men to 30s . as a minimum and did . it before they asked for it . If the farmer is to do his best many things must not be allowed . For instance , there must be a readjustment of railway rates . It costs as much to send the same amount of wheat from my Ounty to Birmingham as it does foreign from Cardiff , which is 120 miles away . I am a Free Trader , but that is not Free Trade . The same injustice applied in the case of home and foreign meat , the former had to pay the higher . charge . These inequalities could only be adjusted by the action of the Union . I do not want to fight the Labourers ' Union , but I do not think the present is the time to shorten the hours of labour . After all there is a great deal of difference be- tween the work of a labourer and a man in factory . He had not to keep his tack to it every minute . There was not a foreman or a master with his eye on him all the time and usually there is time for a stretch between loads or at the end of a furrow . I did not agree with Lord Rhondda whose policy seemed to be to keep prices down rather than to increase production . I have a habit of speaking straight and I told his Lord- ship . some straight things . He replied , " Yes , small a Mr. Nunneley , but you only represent a minority of farmers . " It knocked the wind out of my sails and I felt how much stronger would have been my position if I could have said " No , iny Lord , I represent go per cent . of the farmers . " To become a member was a very small thing , the subscription suggested was only at the rate of 1d . per acre . The increase due to the rise in prices , on the other hand , has been met , roughly speaking , from that fluctuating source of income termed " Extraor dinary , " which this year is £ 134 , as against £ 1 two years ago Thus we have again to thank the Misses Urwick for the half - proceeds of an enter- tainment that , must also have been of real educa- tional value to their many young trainees . £ 47 comes from a Red Cross Sale ; and the late Mrs. Went has left a legacy of £ 15 . The above items figure in the Treasurer's accounts , but gifts in kind do not . Foremost among these are the much valued contributions of Mrs. Thornely's Linen League ; a ton of potatoes was given by Colonel Davidson ; and many smaller gifts of vegetables , eggs , etc. , have come from others . Loans of beds for soldiers have also saved the Institution much . Now that the smaller hospitals , ours among them , are being less used by the Military , the time seems to have come to offer our grateful thanks to all those who have from time to time enter- tained our soldiers , or provided them with special comforts , in which connection must be mentioned Mr. Gosling's allocation of a fund , the proceeds of a concert at Eye , per Mr. Bishopbrigg . These kind attentions , the Matron feels , not only made the men's stay more enjoyable , but also were an important factor in fostering their conspicuously good behaviour . The neat , bright garden also must have ministered to their happiness . For this ( as for many greater things ) we have to thank our versatile Matron , whose horticultural zeal , we note , her nurses . Our little town has has spread to been prompt to share the nation's deepening con- cern for the health of the young . The Committee claim that your Hospital is seeking to play its full part in this . Incidentally we may mention that out of nine fractures in 1917 , seven were of children aged 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 9 , 10 , and 12 respectively -is this an ominous sign ? Eighteen school cases of tonsils and adenoids have been treated . And new and important departure has been taken by our Honorary Dental Surgeon ( Mr. A. G. Hudson ) , who kindly operates upon children referred to him by the Aftercare Committee . now a Is a it too much to hope , even in war - time , for a sum of £ 60 to help his work with the necessary equip- ment ? The prevention of dental disease is worthy of consideration by all who have the welfare of children at heart and who desire to maintain strong and vigorous race . Our report is incomplete until we have recorded our great satisfaction that , our unwearied Honorary Secretary has been called to preside over our ancient Borough . Mr. Neild said he considered the report was the record of a great achievement , for splendid a it say year's work had been done . Unfortunately there was a fly in the ointment and in this case was that so much of the money had had to be raised by special subscription . He desired to a word for the Treasurer who had done his work most admirably . The Hospital had sup- Cottage plied a real need in the town , and he felt sure the health of the town would greatly suffer were They it not for the help given by the Hospital . had introduced another departure - the care of the teeth . This was a most important thing and for- tunately they had a skilled dental surgeon who was prepared to undertake the work , but it could scarcely be expected that he would provide his own materials and he would be glad to give £ 10 as a start towards the C60 needed . Mr. S. R. Taylor in moving the adoption of the report pleaded for a larger increase in individual subscriptions . He thought it was not sufficiently realised how greatly the Misses Urwick had helped the funds and hoped a special resolution of thanks would be made . The resolution was seconded by Mr. W. St. G. Drennan . He said the war had emphasised the importance of the care of the sick . Previously we had looked upon it as a kind of side issue . Those who were out of the doors of a hospital and en- joyed good health ought in acknowledgment to double their subscription , if only it was as a token of respect for the brave soldiers and sailors who had surrendered everything . There was not work more necessary or more a part of our religion than the alleviation of the sick . The were Presidents and Vice - Presidents elected . Alderman Russell " resolution proposed a thanks to the Medical and Nursing Staff , in which he paid a high tribute to the services rendered . The motion was seconded by the Rev. H. S. Millward . re- of was The Committee was re - elected . Lloyd's Bank was appointed treasurer . SECURITY OF TENURE . In acknowledgir his re - election as Secretary There is another highly important Councillor J. B. question Dowding remarked that it affecting farmers and that is Security of Tenure . encouraging to see so many present . Many a time Iately landlords had been offering land for sale he had to scour the streets to get a quorum . He in order to secure vacant possession . I say if the hoped it was a good omen for the future . He had landowner gets a little extra lining for his poc- desired to be relieved of the office , but a succes- kets he ought to share it with the tenant turned sor had not been forthcoming . He did not hesi- out . That should be his first obligation . Can you tate to say he was proud of the achievements in expect farmers to lay down capital when they regard to the Hospital . I have often been criti- cised for being too anxious , but I do not trouble know that at any time they can be turned out and the advantage of the farmers ' labour and capi- now . I shall always have the satisfaction of know- tal be appropriated by the landowner . ing that I have been engaged in a good , work and I had to Icave my farm after 30 years and when I applied have always tried to do my best . for compensation I got is . to Is . 6d . per acre . That was not fair or very encouraging . The far- mer should be compensated when he leaves for everything by which he has added to the value of the farm ( loud cheers ) . The question of placing ladies amongst the list of Vice Presidents was referred to the Committee for consideration . KINGSLAND . DEATH AND FUNERAL OF THE LATE MRS . ELIZABETH MITCHELL . CAPTAIN FITZHERBERT WRIGHT , M.P. The Member for North Herefordshire said he received the invitation from Mr. Griffiths , the Secretary , sometime before February , which was of course before the sad event which had oc- curred to the Member for South Herefordshire ster for and he would like to say what a loss he and he was sure all present felt they had sustained in his death . Colonel Clive was one of the most straightforward , steadfast and gallant men he had ever known . He endeavoured to do his best for all and worthily had he maintained great family traditions . He gave himself whole heartedly to the work on the County Council and other public bodies , finally giving his life for his country . Having said that he wanted to make it quite clear that his presence at that meeting should not be taken as meaning that he thought a fortunate moment had been chosen to contest South Here- fordshire and he would ask those responsible to think twice before forcing a contest . some on a Mrs. E. Mitchell formerly lived at Leomin being the years , wife of Mr. T. Mitchell , who carried large busi- ness in the manufacture of aereated waters and was also proprietor of the Three Horse Shoes and the Bird - in - Hand . The deceased pos sessed a generous disposition which won the es teem of many of the townspeople and others who claimed her acquaintance . After leaving Leomin ster she lived in America for some time . After- wards she came back and lived during the last 12 years at Kingsland with her son , Mr. T. W. Mitchell , The Corners Inn . She died somewhat suddenly on Monday , the 22nd . The funeral took place at Kingsland Church on Friday . The service was conducted by the Rev. J. Job . ling . The polished coffin with brass fittings bore Referring to Mr. Nunneley's speech he said he the inscription " Elizabeth Mitchell , died April I was sorry to feel that running through it there 22nd , 1918.

Bird , Mr. W. Weaver and Mr. J. Weaver . The mourners were : Mr. T. W. Mitchell and 00 at the question from a practical point of view . He would agree that those engaged in the pro- duction of food should have more representation , but would it not be better for Mr. Nunneley to be able to say that he not only represented 90 per cent . of the farmers , but he also represented per cent . of the labourers and landlords ( A Voice , How can it be done ? ) . He could not tell them how it may be immediately done , but he could indicate the lines by which it may be attained . For example Permanent Agricultural Committees are going to be set up which will be established on the principle of full and equal representation . Mr. Wright unfortunately had to leave the meet- ing to catch a train and was therefore unable to finish what promised to be an interesting speech . MR . W. M. PARRY AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR A FARMERS ' CANDIDATE The Chairman immediately called on Mr. Parry to address the meeting . He said it was most un- fortunate that Mr. FitzHerbert Wright's address should have broken off at the most interesting point . He was sorry that Mr. Wright had under- stood Mr. Nunneley to express himself antagonis tically towards the labourers and landlords . He felt sure had he have stayed he would have quali- fied the statement . As a matter of fact the Far- mers ' Union had always maintained that there should be unity between the three sections named . Farmers were quite willing to pay high wages if the prices would admit it . High pricès meant high wages . But they could only pay more if they got more . Mr. Nut neley had touched upon Security of Tenure . While some attempt had been made towards that end it was not satisfactory . If it could be gat it would do more than any- thing else to increase fertility and productivity and to encourage the farmer to put capital and labour in the land . He admitted that the landlords I were just now passing through an unfortunate time and he was sure farmers did not want to put themselves in antagonism to the owners . There was another point he desired to mention . He did not himself know anything in regard to Mrs. Roberts , Southampton ( son and daughter ) ; Alice , Bertha , Rose and Gladys ( grandchildren ) ; Mrs. Fletcher ( Leominster ) , Mrs. Scandrett ( The Brook ) , Mr. Geo . King and Mr. H. Lewis . Owing to being abroad the other sons and daughters were unable to be present . The following floral tributes were sent : - " Peace , Perfect Peace , " from son , daughter and grandchildren ; " In affectionate remembrance , " from daughter and grand - daughter ; " In loving memory of Grandma , " from Minnie , Marjorie and Charlie ; " Loving sympathy " from Mr. and Mrs. Weaver ; " With love and sympathy , " from Mr. and Mrs. Weaver ; It In reply to Mr. Levick complainant affirmed that it was defendant's practice to use threatening language . She had thrown a good deal of water over her and it made her go about in fear that she may throw something and blind her . John Williams , a wood feller , stated that he lived opposite to Miss Greenhouse and had heard bad language being used to himself and family for some time . He heard the language complained of in this case . He was in the wood at the time which was about 200 yards away . Answering Mr. Easton witness said his daughter was perfectly strong , but was afraid of the defen- dant who was an old woman . He did not know . who threw the stones . The summons was issued because of the annoyance and disturbance to his wife . Ernest Perks , witness for the defence , stated that he lived at Orleton Common and was a timber feller . On March 18th defendant asked him to fetch back 3 cows belonging to Mr. Bubb , that was between 11 and 12. He put them to tack in the meadow , but she said they would not stay there . because of the fowls and ducks in the field . Com- plainant came out and said " What odds to her about the fowls . I will smash her face in . " She called Miss Greenhouse a drunken old beggar . He heard no threats made by defendant . Cross - examined by Mr. Levick : He was 10 yards away and heard all that was said . He said he would not go unless he was summoned . Mary Williams said her husband was brother to complainant . On the day in question she had been to fetch the Old Age Pension , and was in the house . She heard defendant ask Perks to fetch the cattle and also the reason they would not stay in the field . Complainant came out and said she would smash Miss Greenhouse's face . She also called her a drunken beggar . The case was dismissed , both parties to pay their own costs . ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A MARE . At the instance of T. L. Bridgwater , Inspector of Cruelty to Animals , Hereford , Thomas I .. Michael , Hamnish Court , farmer , was summoned for cruelly ill - treating a mare by working it in a plough when unfit to be so by weakness and disease . Mr. T. L. Bridgwater said that he met P.C. Powell on March 26th and they visited the farm together . Defendant was ploughing some stiff land at the time with the mare . She was weak and the work was too much for her . Mr. Levick , who appeared for Mr. Michael , cross- examined the Inspector , who said he would not swear what land it was . He Was it grass land ? -I would not swear it . looked at the mare . It had a big leg and was in a filthy state . There was a nasty discharge . The whole leg was badly swollen . There was no lame- , ness , but the mare was too weak for the work it was doing . The day was not particularly warm . He did not say if defendant would pay Mr. Bee- son he would hear no more about it . P.C. Powell said he had received information about this mare . He saw the animal and there was a substance dropping from its leg on to the ground . It was sweating a great deal though it was a cold day . The land was very heavy . Questioned by Mr. Levick he insisted that he had received information . There were severai com- plaints . He had no feeling against Michael . He did not examine the animal , but he saw quite enough without examining . He thought she was in pain . Stephen Beeson , Veterinary Surgeon , of Her ford , said that he went on the 30th of March with Inspector Bridgwater to examine the mare .. The off hind leg was swollen from a disease known as " greese . " There was a deal of discharge from the surface . He had the mare walked about and it was very stiff in both legs . In his opinion the mare was suffering from rheumatic . It was in a low condition due to its being called upon to do work above her strength . He was of the opinion that it was cruelty to work her . In answer to Mr. Levick he said she went stiff for about 200 yards , the stiffness did not continue . A mare would not go lame from " greese . " He did not tell defendant he could plough her with two other horses . He said he could use her har- rowing . There were things like grapes around her fetlock . Thomas L. Michael said he was a farmer of Hamnish Court . The land on which the mare was working was barley stubble , it was not fresh land . He had had the mare for some time . The soil was medium , certainly not heavy . The place where he was ploughing was dead level . The mare was suffering from greese when he bought . her . There were thousands worse than her . im work . The Inspector asked him if he knew it was cruelty and he said he , did not . He took the mare up the road and asked them if they could see any lameness . When Mr. Beeson and the In- spector called the latter said he did not wish to he hard on him and if he would pay Mr. Beeson it would be alright . William D. Blanchard , Veterinary Surgeon , of Leominster , said he had scen the mare , which was suffering from grecse . It was a common disease among cart horses . There was not a grape on the mare . The disease was a skin dis- ease and smells badly ... There was only pain in the early stages , after 3 years old there is pain . Unless she was worked she would be no use and would have to be destroyed . The case was dismissed . to Major Atherley and further with and beating John Collins . 110 TRESPASS AND ALLEGED ASSAULT . David Jenkins appeared in answer to summonses charging him with trespassing on land belonging assaulting Mr. W. D. Blanchard stated that he had not given defendant the right to go . on his land , neither had he given him permission to shoot . for Major Atherley , John Collins , gamekeeper said that on the 18th of April about 5.30 he saw defendant on land in the occupation of Mr. Blan He asked him to produce his authority chard . for being there . He wanted to know what witness had got to do with it . He thereupon struck him two blows . He had two dogs with him . The foot- path was 350 yards away . David Jenkins said that on the day in question he was shooting over Mr. Rees ' land and was re- turning home . He had a man with him and they had between 30 and 40 rabbits . He told the man to go on and then went on to Grimthorpe's land . He had been there dozens of times . He saw Col- lins and went to meet him . He was on the foot- path . Cross - examined by Levick lie ( defendant ) stated he had come through Grimthorpe's land and was 300 yards away . He knew the land better than complainant . Collins came to him when he was ou Mr. Blanchard's field . He did not say he had permission from Mr. Blanchard to shoot though he had shot with Mr. Blanchard many times . Mr. Fined 10s . for trespassing , in default 7 days . The charge of assaulting was dismissed . " PEMBRIDGE .

Propitious weather favoured this much anticipated event for which the services of the Rev. J. H. Hawes , Sunday's programme of Kington , had been secured . consisted of public services at 11 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. and a special service in the afternoon , at which the children and choir rendered the service of song entitled Christ and the Children " the general arrangement of which by the Rev. A. Bell and the music by W. Campbell . The conception of the work is very happy . Scripture portions bearing on the subject are memor- ised and repeated by selected scholars , while appropri- ate solos and choruses are interspersed . The efforts of the scholars gave evidence of careful and efficient training . The musical selections reflected credit on Miss performers and the conductor Mr. J. Brace . Kathleen Neatby accompanied the piano with com- mendable ability . The solos and duets were taken by the following : The Misses D. Elder , Dawes , Evans , E. and B. Powell and Coslett , Mr. Albert Colley and Master Victor Colley . Scripture portions were recited by Olive Rodgers , Bert James , Joan Rodgers . John Bateman , Ella Clayton , Ivy Knowles , Edith Gossett , Frank Fox . Fred Moyle , Brenda Hartley , May Clayton , Dorothy Pike , Florrie Morris , Gerard Davies , Nellie King , Gladys Savigar , Rachael Davies , James Bate- man , Minnie Colley , Florrie Hall , Ruth Thomas and Leslie Powell . The organist for the Sunday services was Miss Blanche Powell . The anniversary was con- tinued on Monday evening under the presidency of His Worship the Mayor ( Councillor J. B. Dowding ) . After an opening hymn the Secretary ( Mr. Neatby ) led the congregation in prayer and following the Anniver sary hymn There was a time when children sung , " he gave the annual report , which was to the effect : Looking back over the 12 months since our last anni- versary we desire to place on record our sense of God's unfailing goodness to us in our work for Him under the exceptional circumstances in which we are living . We have had more than usual difficulties in keeping the classes supplied with teachers , but these have been surmounted , though it has at times seemed almost hopeless to find teachers . The School , how- ever , is now supplied with workers and is going on harmoniously under Mr. Rouch's superintendence . The number of teachers and officers is 11 in the upper school and 11 in the Infants ' department . The number of scholars on the register on January 1st was 70 in the Upper School and 66 in the Infants ' and it remains about the , same to - day . We had to record a slight increase at the end of 1917 , in fact we have for sev- eral years had an addition to our numbers during the year leaving a balance to the good the end of the year . The activities of the school have been car- ried on much as in former years though in some res- pects they have been restricted owing to war condi- tions . We were able to hold the summer and Christmas treats , but had to be content with a more modest form of entertainment . Our school took a worthy part in the united effort which was made at Christmas in aid of St. Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors . At the commencement of last year we discontinued the morning school and in its place started the L.Y.W. This change has had the desired result and we now get a good muster of the children of our morning service , part of which is speci- ally devoted them . The finances are in a sound condition and by careful management we continue to pay our way , though we could attempt more had we the means to do so . So far the monetary result of our anniversary has slightly eclipsed last year and we hope for a generous response to - night . Continuing . Mr. Neatby said he desired to offer a special word of thanks to the choir for their help and also to the Mayor for kindly coming to preside . Mr. Rouch seconded the resolution and paid tribute to the Mayor's interest in all that affected the wel- fare of the children in the town . Responding , His Worship said in the first place he would like to thank Mr. Neatby and Mr. Rouch for their generous expressions of appreciation . It was true he was always ready to lend a helping hand to every good work in his native town irrespective of creed or class . He desired and hoped he was broad minded enough to assist all good causes . It gave him peculiar pleasure to be there that evening , for he him- self was an old Sunday School scholar . had reminded him when he became Mayor of the days Mr. Phillips when he attended the Moravian School and invested his first 6d . , another reason why he was pleased to be there was because of the help he had received from the children and from their Pastor , the Rev. J. C. Elder , in regard to the Hospital . In his visits to Manchester he had been struck with the marvellous processions of Sunday School Scholars which took place on Whit Monday . He had seen thousands of neatly dressed children taking part in the annual celebrations . The Centenary of Roberi Raikes , the founder of Sunday Schools , was just within his mem- ory . He ( Raikes ) was a Gloucester man who was at one time a journalist . The work he had accomplished was truly wonderful . It helped to mould and build up the life of the nation and the education received remained through all their after life . It was a pleasure to see how well they were looking after the children and he desired to offer them a word of congratulation and encouragement . Mr. Elder had sent him with his characteristic thoughtfulness a copy of a special hymn for the soldiers and sailors . He hoped to hear it sung at the close of the service . The Rev. H. S. Millward closed the meeting with the Benediction . WELL - KNOWN IN HEREFORDSHIRE . The death took place on Friday of Mr. Frederick W. Barling , of Bartestree , at the age of 78 years .
