        LLANGAMMARCH WELLS.

        Wedding. - A pretty wedding was solemnised at Cefn Gorwydd C.M. Chapel, on Wednesday, September 29th. The Rev. E. Evans officiated. The bridegroom was Mr J. Dalton, of Dundee, and the bride was Miss Winifred G. Davies, of "Craig-y-Nos," Llandammarch Wells. The former arrived first by motor accompanied by the bride's mother, Mrs Rees, Mrs Thomas and Mr J. Jones, Llandoch, the best man. The bride arrived half-an-hour later, accompanied by her father and the two bridesmaids, Miss K. Morgan, Tyncoed, and Miss B. Morgan, The Schools. In the presence of a large company, the bride was given away by her father, Ex-Police Sergt. J. Davies, of the Breconshire Constabulary. She wore a black pan hat, undershaded with ultramarine blue and a navy blue travelling costume; and carried a bouquet of chrysanthemums and sweet peas. On leaving the chapel the pair were met with a regular tornado of rice and confetti. Six times on the way back the car was stopped by long ropes stretched across the road, and a toll had to be paid before the party were allowed to proceed. On arrival at the bride's home many shorts were fired in salute, and the pair passed through a floral archway, erected during the night, bearing the words "Long life and happiness" on one side and "God bless the happy pair" on the other. During the day between forty and fifty people arrived to tender congratulations and were hospitably entertained. Presents, too numerous to mention, were arriving all day long. It is understood that the couple will proceed to the bridegroom's home in Scotland during the latter end of the year.
