less than half an inch on the average
in this district.
Mrs. Greenfield has returned home
from a visit with her sister, Mrs. Mil

Bishop Willis will conduct the SER
vice in the English Church next Sun
day. In addition to the regular service
there will be a confirmation OF candi-
dates, and the christening of numoer

There is quite q good deal of sickness
i'm the community just at present. AL
most every one has or has had colds of
more or less severity, while several
cases of fever are reported among the
labOrers. on the various plantations.
Low water in most tanks, together
with warm weather aud high winds,
accounts for much of it, no doubt. a
good, heavy, soaking rain would be
blessing to every one-
1t seems to most of us up here in the
backwoods" that it is about time the
Government was appointing some one,
or more than one, to fill the small
places. There is no Notary Public
nearer than Kohala or Laupahoehoe
since September 1st, and he is needed
quite often. The Road Board passed
out at the same time, and thus far no
new one has been named. The old one

for paying arsonal taxes without
penalty, there was no Tax Collector to
pay to. When the party to the orange
blossom affair goes for the necessary
papers, he will find that he will have
to travel much farther than he thinks
for. These are small affairs, but they
are also quite essential, and it seems
almost time we were being remem-
bered. All the other districts came
out on time, but Hamakua can wait,
or at least must do so.
So far only the four names mention

come out for Senators, and the indica-
tions now are that no more will do SC.

candidate for Representative, and has
requested Hilo to name both of them
G.. e.. Kennedy will likely be on the
ticket with Rycroft. The friends of
Chas. Williams made a strong effort to
run him for Representative, but so far
have failed to get his consent. He
would make an able member, is a
son of the soil and could command the
support of all the voters of the district,
barring some twelve or fifteen.
The following "pome" was picked
up on our road that serves as a street.
It was written on a piece OF cardboard,
and as il had been exposed to the ele-
ments perhaps for days, it required the
aid of a microscope to work 1T out.
The title was Dear, Sweet Willow"
and the author signed himself II. D.,
which some think means Honokaa
Detective, while others translated it
Honokaa Dudette. After so much
work we thought best to- preserve il
by giving it to "tbe art pTeservative
OF all arts" Here it Is:
Every Joy that heaven can send,
Wealth, and every kind of treasure,
Health and love to thee, my friend,
And happiness without measure.

My fair Hawaiian maid.

And all the rest you prayed.
