He was over 40 years of age , and was very quiet , and she had had no trouble except in regard to taking ladies underwear . Mr. Williams , addressing the Court , said this was a very strange case .

DEATH OF MR FRANK WEBB . - We regret to announce the death of Mr. Frank Webb , licensee of the Kerne Bridge Inn , which took place rather suddenly on Friday last , at the age of 43 years . On Monday week , the deceased met with an accident , which at first appeared to be of a very slight nature , and was treated as such ; but in the course of the following day , serious compli- cations arose , and it transpired that he had injured himself internally , and he passed away on Friday last . Deceased was highly respected in the neighbourhood , as evidenced by the very large company which attended the funeral , which took place at Leys Hill Baptist Chapel on Monday . The service was unaccountable mania for taking ladies under Lewis Williams , of Smallbrook , sold 35 of the white , 4s . 9d . to 4s . 10d .; wheat , red , 4s . 9d . conducted by the Rev.

Phelps ( brother - in- law ) , Mr. Herbert Webb , Mr. and Mrs. . Carpenter , Mr. and Mrs. Gabb ( Cinderford ) , Mr. Thomas Cinderford , and a host of old friends and fellow licensees from the sur- rounding district . A large number of beauti- ful wreaths re sent by the relatives and friends , and great sympathy was shown for the widow and her only child in their sud- den bereavem vnt . Mr. Wallace Gwatkin , of Leys Hill , was the undertaker . THE LEA . THE OLD COACH ROAD . - At the last meeting of the County Council the County Surveyor reported on the Old Coach Road at the Lea as follows : - " I have inspected the place , and am now able to give the fol- lowing information : Length of disused road 590 yards , length of district road 344 yards , total length between Castle End and Lea village 934 ards . If this road was recon- structed and used as the main road between Ross and Gloucester the distance between these two places would be reduced by an eighth of a mile . The cost of reconstruct- ing the road for modern traffic would be £ 950 . The only objection to the road from an engineering standpoint is that the gradi- ent is rather steep at the Lea ends The proposal was not entertained by the Roads and Bridges Committee but the County Surveyor was authorised to erect two new Bright Rainfall direction posts at his place .

PARISH COUNCIL - A Parish Council meeting was held on October 19th to consult over the best way to collect funds for - the War Relief Funds . - the National Prince of Wales and the Local . It was decided to hold two public meetings in order to bring PATRIOTIC CONCERT AT GOODRICH . A RECORD ATTENDANCE . Never has there heen seen in the Goodrich Schoolroom such a crowded or more enthusi- astic audience than that which attended the patriotic concert on Tuesday evening , the proceeds of which are to be given in aid of the local relief fund . The organisers did everything in their power to make the con- cert an attractive one , and a really first class programme of songs and recitations was arranged . Mr. Arthur Pott presided , and in a short address at the close of the concert thanked all those who had assisted in the arranging of the concert , and also the artistes who had so delighted them with their singing and recitations . The songs throughout were all of a patrio- tic nature , and though the programme was too long to low f many encores , the con- tributions of Mr. G. H. Porter who has always proved a favourite with a Goodrich audience and Mr. Morris , of Monmouth , so pleased the company that they were not al- lowed to pass without appearing a second time . All the other artistes were also ac- corded most hearty applause , and generally speaking the concert was one of the best ever given in the Goodrich parish . The ac- companists were Miss Ayres , Mrs. Minchen , Miss Jones , and Miss B. Clark . Judging by the company present , and the number of tickets sold , the local relief fund should be very substantially increased , and the active financial result of the concert will be pub- lished in our next issue .

Some remarkable and sad disclosures were made in the Llangarren cattle case at Here- ford Quarter Sessions on Monday The prisoner , Alfred James Dale , 37 , a small far mer , of Treraece , rear Ross , was charged with stealing seven steers , the property of John Thompson , farmer , of Llangarren , on A very small supply , for which there was July 20th . Prisoner was represented by a fair demand at recent rates . Cows and Mr. Bosanquet instructed by Mr. T. A. calves , and especially good milch cows , were Matthews ) and pleaded guilty . Mr. H.

Prisoner , ac- cording to Mr. Farrant , denied knowledge of them . The local constable also made in- quiries , and prisoner told him he saw them safe on Tuesday , the day after they were taken from the field . Three days later , Supt . Broad , of Ross , began to take up the case , and as a res alt he telephoned to Mon- mouth and ascertained that similar cattle had been sold under the hammer in open market for over £ 90 . He then traced the one to Mr. Chester and recovered it , then found the whereanouts of the others .

Many who made that recommenda- tion did not realise all the difficulties there were to contend with . He did not think it wise to plant all the wheat ground this year that had wheat on it last year . It was bad policy , for it must reduce the average yield per acre . He thought they might take the advice as far as possible and increase their acreage to the fullest extent , but he did not think they ought to rush into it .

Oats , to - day , however , were important as food for horses . That was why oats were so dear . Mr. Weston said he thought farmers would do all they possibly could . The Secretary : It will be as important , I take it , to produce beef and mutton as well as wheat . The Secretary announced the receipt of a letter from the National Union suggesting that county branches should subscribe from their Union funds to the Prince of Wales ' Fund , and that members be asked to sub- scribe privately . Mr. H. R. Paske : We have had a collceo- tion for the fund in our parish . The Chairman : Nearly everybody in our DO NOT WAIT until you are really ill before resort- ing to treatment . Immediate attention should always be given to minor ailments lest they lead to more serious trouble . A bilious headache , a tendency to constipa- tion , a feeling of discomfort after eating , impaired appetite : these are all symptoms that two of the most important organs in the body - the stomach and the liver - are not working satisfactorily . The right remedy to TAKE whenever there is the slightest suspicion that all is not well with the organs of digestion is Beecham's Pills . Those who have tried this remedy , and they now number a great multitude , are entirely satisfied that , for correct- ing ailments of the stomach and the liver , there is nothing to surpass BEECHAM'S PILLS .
