In buying goods for our 4 large stores, we buy Furniture,

saving in buying this way. Is it a wonder we are giving better
goods for less money than any other house?

A Souvenir.

A gentleman who left his home in
New York city February, 1849, to
seek his fortune in California, has
shown us Bible given TO him by
his mother before his leaving. On
the Hyleaf is written
"a gift from thy mother, my own
dear boy,
IT'S the true source OF happiness,
peace and Joy,
May its beautiful precepts thy foot
steps guide
And keep tee through lie, on Writ
ue's side.
This book, impearled by a mothers
tears,
May it speak to thy heart in after
years,
And, when she rests beneath the
sod
May it teach thee to put thy trust
in God.
May thine beloved, be blessed lot,
And OH may the giver be never
forgot"

ALL FOR wAIALUA.
The o X. & J.. Company Arrange
Public Excursion.

The management Of tue Railroad
Company has arranged public ex-
cursion on the 4th OF July to the
terminus of the line at Waialua
We suggest to every man, woman
and child to take advantage OF this
opportunity to ride over the road,
which has opened lands, which
would be closed to the people of
Oahu, If the energy and persever-
ance of Mr.. Dillingham; had not
gone into the breech and he, in
spite OF heavy odds, had carried out
his original program.
The first part Of the road ia known
to most travellers. In a short while
the first stretch will be changed and
rebuilt for the purpose OF touching
the great fertilizer works OF Kalihi.
After that the road runs smoothly
and the rails and ties would be a
credit to any road in the world.
AT Waianae an opportunity is
given to view the magnificent plan
tations, where sugar and coffee
abound. The new hotel located in
picturesque corner of the hay, is
just the place where you WON'T like
to send your wife and childrrr dur
ing vacation while you ate i to
work (O, the club and the other girl.
And when the train speeds along
the ocean and passes Makuo, Ma
kaha and sneahs around the L lena
point, you will remember she days
when robber barons held high sway
there, and, as Rev. ishop told the
writer, inveigled seafariug men to
land and then ate them up II was
our good fortune few wee ks ago to
be the guest of Mr.. Dillingham; on
an excursion under the supervision
OF genial Fred. Smith, the = ,,songer
agent, - and it. is impossib - to
exaggerate the expression and the
"watery" mouth Of the reverend old
doctsr, when he sized up NJ. Tcsta
and then told us about the csnpibals
who used to hold down Makua.
The "robber barons" have been
succeeded by the sugar barons."
Instead OF Juicy" hind legs, it is
golden dividends which count now
a-days.
The traveller then reaches Waia-
lua, where an enormous fertile plain
will be found and everything from
a fig to sugar cane will grow there,
and before many moons have passed
another rich plantation will have
been started, aud "Bennie" will have
another feather in his cap, and
another dividend in his pocket.
We recommend everybody who
can spare time, and the small amount
OF fare to take run to Waialua on
the train on the 18th OF July, or
whenever Mr.. Dillingham; gives a
special opportunity to the public to
see the island we live on.

business of unusual interest will come

is requested to be in attendance.
We sympathize with our young
friend and neighbor, E. f. Burns, who
is enduring bad health, and trust he
may soon be restored. Our sympathy
also goes out for our old pioneer
preacher, neighbor and friend, Elder
w. II. Bailey, in his affiiction. For
many years he has been troubled with
something growing in his mouth, hav-
ing now attained a size which makes
eating very difficult. He is now COM
PEELED to draw his food through quill
He is still able to get about the place
and do little errands, and we sincerely
hope his condition may not grow
worse and that his last days may be
his best.
