KOHALA NOTES.
A Sudden Death = Personals =
Christmas 0hSsrvanesS.

Two sudden deaths from heart dis
ease have occurred here within y
month. The last one wSs $ man
named John Ii, in the employ Of the
Union Mill. He left his work 10 set
drink OF water, and was seen 10 put
his hand 70 his side and lie down.
Someone went in few minutes later
to see WHIST was the matter, and found
him dead.
DR.. Weidiek has been laid up with
two broken ribs, caused by fsn from
his veranda
The sugar mills are mostly ready 10
start up for smother season OF grind
ing. No great changes have been
made excepting in Union Mill, where
= third set of rollers has been put in
with power and the consequent addi-
tons TO the building.
An innovation has been introduced
in the shape of = chemist from Cam
ada, who is 10 reside on the Kohala
Plantation and search for possible
sources of leakage on such of the
plantations which have combined to
pay his salary. II is to be hoped thst
ne will have 10 look long and care
fully before he finds any.
The new bridge in Walsohis guleh
has been opened for traffic. The ap-
proaches to it are narrow, particularly
on one side, but nothing more can be
done until the Government supplies
the necessary funds. These approaches
should be fenced as well as widened
for safety.
1t msy not be out OF place TO men,
ton the name of Mr.. I. s. Kay in
this connection as having shown con-
siderable active interest i'll the build
ing OF this new bridge, and rendered
valuable service TO the Road Board,
which will undoubtedly be pleased 10
see some notice of il in this way.
Aside from the services held in the
Chinese and Anglican churches, the
only public celebration of Christmas
day noticeable, was the display of
banners over shed built for an ath-
letie exhibition in Kapaau, and q
raised platform for special guests,
mostly women and children. The
shed covered 3 circle that had been
made FOR the display of japanese
wrestling, aud some dozen or more
nude athletes took their turn at an
exhibition of skill and muscular
strength TO the manifest enjoyment
of the surrounding crOTi
The japanese coffee shop and bill
lizard room in that locality has> been
transformed into q hospital, under the
auspices of DR.. Yamashita whose resi-
dence is near st hand.
There Is noticeable stir for the COM
ing elections, although it appears that
the inspectors have been appointed.
The various replies in the GAZETTE
TO inquiries about d. l. Huntsman,
furnish amusing reading, and bring
out various comments. The great
fault of his sympathizers appears TO
have consisted in bringing him back
TO life from bed of sickness. Perhaps
little story about the snake that q
farmer found freezing by the roadside
and eompassionately put into his
bosom 10 warm back to life.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Wight, OF MANU-
kona, will celebrate the tenth ami
yersary of their marriage st their
house this evening, for which cards of
invitation were issued lately. There
will be dancing, display Of tinware
and no end of good things to satisfy
the hungry. May they live to enjoy
many happy returns A train will
leave Mahukona st A. VI. to carry
the guests back to their homes, and
perhaps this brief notice will be as
good as 8 more complete one written
in the wee sma hours" when the
eyes are heavy and the head is eager
to feel pillow after the enjoyments
are over.
Cool weather prevails, but no great
amount OF rain.
