Wedding Anniversary.

On Saturday, June 18th. Mr.. and Mrs.
B. A. Sawyer celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage by
giving reception to their relatives and
many friends. The day was stormy and
travelling bad and as only their old
friends and former neighbors from
Starks were invited il was feared but few
would be able to be with them. But
they were agreea ly surprised when the
electric car from Madison stopped at
their door and so many of their friends
alighted. Later others came until
twenty-five had arrived. Many Others
sent letters of congratulation and good
wishes, and regrets that they could not
be with them. Mr.. and Mrs SAWYER
were the recipients of many beautiful
and costly presents which will be highly
priced by them, not so much for their
value as for tokens of the esteem and
friendship of the giver. A few remarks
from Mr.. and Mrs. Sawyer showed to
their guests that they were much pleas
ed aud gratitied that so many of their
friends came to celebrate the happy
event with them and for the many beau
tiful tokens of their friendship which
they brought. As most of these friends
we're from some distance away, invita-
tions were issued for afternoon and
evening. 1t was very social and enjoy
able occasion for all, the only regret
being that more could not attend. As
most of the party depended on the
eleetrics to get to their homes they were
obliged to break up earlier than they de-
sired to, so wishing Mr.. and Mrs
sawyer many happy returns and that
they might live to celebrate their golden
wedding they departed to their homes.

An increase Of $4,000 for the Past
Year.
Inquiry of Major J. W. Pratt,
clerk of the Water Works, ELECTS
the information that pay
ments of rates, in time
to save the ten per cent. penalty,
have been better proportionately
for the current half year than for
former periods. There have been
many also, who had hitherto been
habitual delinquents, who have at
this opportunity paid up arrears
and the half year in advance.
An increase of $4,000 in re
ceipts for the past over the pre-
ceding year is noted. This is
one of the results of the large
number of new homes being add
cd TO the city plot, and one OF the
striking evidences of the growth
of Honolulu.
There has not been the stereo.
typed kick ut the paying wicket
by rate payers, on this occasion,
at paying for what they did not

has been well supplied.
Work at the wicket has been
greatly facilitated by the adoption
of numbered receipts made out

payment in July the benefit of
this system will be more marked,
rs each rate payer will be able to
identify himself instantly by pro
duction of his January receipt.

MONDAY, JAN. Is, 1897.

Hon. Paul lsenberg will long
be remembered with gratitude for
his present visit to Hawaii - the
country once his adopted home for
many yp'r3. and now that of his
esteemed descendants, and in
whose legislature ha was one of
the most practical, far seeing,
deep-thjnking and potout spirits.
Already long identified with large
wealth producing interests in the
soil and a great commercial house,
he has on this occasion procured
a great addition to tae productive
capacity # this island of Oahu.
This he has done by the influence
OF his name and the disposition
Of a portion Of his means, the
faith thus shows in the future of
Hawaii being speedily communi-
Gated to other capitalists and land
holders, with the result OF the
creation of the Oahu Sugar Co.,
Limited, one OF the largest sugar
producing corporations ever or
ganized in this group. Acknow-
ledgment thus made of Mr.. Isen-
berg's part in this new enterprise
does not detrsct in any degree
from the credit due to Mr.. Dilliug-
ham, our island railway king, for
the foresight, energy and per
severance by which he projected
planned and brought about the
grand achievement. All honor to
both gentlcmcn, with II full share
to their associates, for the con
summation.
