On Monday evening, at the New Inn, a smoker was given in honour of Gunner D. Williams, brother of Sergt. W. B. Williams, who unfortunately lost his life in action.
William was home on a short visit, and a few of his friends assembled and presented him with a cigarette case, some cigarettes, and a purse of money. A capital concert followed, under the chairmanship of Mr. Jno. Williams, Walter Road, the following taking part : — Messrs. Frank Hughes, Sam Morgan, Jack Thomas, Owen Madden, Joe Morris, Tom Thomas, D. O. Jones, Morgans (Tycroes), D. Davies, Palmer, and Phillips (Cwmgorse) sang; Messrs. Hughes, Thomas, and Davies rendered a trio; Mr. Jno. Williams recited; and Mr. Tony Wood gave a step dance.
The proceedings were very interesting and pleasurable. Mr. Fred Jenkins was the secretary, and Mr. Evan John Evans the accompanist.
