decorated with flags and flowers, and
about so people tripped the light fan
tastic to the STRAINS of three Honolulu
musicians and two of the local talent.
y substantial Tepast was in order
about 10 p. m, and this was made the
occasion for presenting to Mr.. Mac
Soreley, the popular plantation black
smith, a substantial token of esteem
from his co-employes.
Mac" is going TO the Coast, and his
never-failing bonhommie and solid
worth have so impressed his friends
during the three years he has been at
Eva that they could not let him de-
part without some recognition of the
esteem they all feel for him. Accord
ingly a fine gold watch chain was Pro-
cured. and in making the presentation,
Manager Lowrie, by general request
voiced the sentiments of the COM
munity.
Mac" replied with a few we'll
chosen words of hearty and apprecia-
tive thanks to all, and then the festivi-
ties went on with renewed Zest till
the wee sma' hours ayant the twal."
The meeting finally broke up. feeling
that the New Year had been we'll and
worthily inaugurated. and every one
went home satisfied that the first page
of the calendar of 1897 had been in
scribed with a good record.
