ORIGIN or THE FESTIVAL.
-Four years ago Mr.. John A. Palmer
Cr.. Of KilmarnOck, Va, suggested the So
lection Of the holly as emblematic OF our
tidal section. and proposed AN annual res
tival 10 celebrate the idea. The susBes-
tion met with hearty approval, and the
first festival was held at Eubank's Hotel
I'm Kilmarnock Va. IL was decided then
and there to select queen. ana hllm4i-
mock was chosen as the place for all NJ
ture holly celebrations. The second year
the festival was celebrated I'm hand
was selected as orator and a queen again
chosen
Mr. Palmer, IN his address. referred 70
the selection Of the holly as emblemauc or
Tidewater Virginia rs a wise choice, for
the reasons that the holly represented
patriotism, hospitality, steadfastness, love
of country. good cheer. and chastity
Chastity-for the reason that its beau
hful and blushing berries, representing
pure womanhOOd. are armored beauties
not 20 be rashly handled. Good cheer
for the reason that the holly is used as
the Christmas decoration, a time when
it is customary to gather and unite
friends and families around the Christ
mas table. Love of country the rea-
son that holly loves its native land ana
will die 81 transplanted Steadfastness-
because no matter what storms may rage
and tempcsts frOwn, it presents the same
cheerful and Joyous countenance i'm tho
midst Of winters cold and cherries COM
panv. Hospitality-f)r the reason that IL
furnishes 20 the robin and ccdar-bird sus-
tcnance when the Frost King has cut or
an sources of food supply. Patriotism
because of the fact that you may cut IT,
down TO the roots yet 10 viii spring INTO
life and beauty again.
Inasmuch as Kilmarnock is really demo-
cratic, her fair daughters and gallant sons
decided that the queen of the Holly Fes-
tival could not reign bur one year. Miss
". j.. Palmer was the queen for 1897, and,
after fair election. Miss Leolyn Bonner
was awarded the honor for 1895. Miss
Bonner was escorted 90 the throne and
Miss Palmer placed the crown upon her
head. After the coronation. there was a
grand march. and the balance of the
night was spent in social enjoyment. song.
and dance Miss Genevieve Bal was
chosen queen for 1889. and will reign until
the next Holly Festival is held on the
night Of the 18th of this month. The Hol-
ly Festival has now become am established
feature of Tidewatcr Virginia, and pro-
misses TO grow in interest as the years roll
Oh.
The festival has grown very popular.
and 10 is proposed 10 ask the Legislature
at this session 10 make the holly the en-
blem of Virginia.

of the best known men on the Islands,
died at his residence on Waianuenue
street at l1:55 Tuesday morning. The
funeral was held from HALL Church
Wednesday afternoon at 230 o'clock,
and was very largely attended. Rev.
j. A. Cruzan of the Foreign Church
and Rev S. L. Deska of the Hall

Mr.. Hitchcock was born on King

young man he moved with his par
ents to Lahaina, and afterward to Mo-
lokai, where his father engaged i'm mis-
sionary work. He graduated at Will

ferred on him the degree of LII. u.

number of years. On retiring from the
bench Mr.. Hitchcock started sugar
plantation in Kaiwiki. When the Hilo
Sugar Company started the Kaiwiki
plantation was absorbed by it. To.
gether with his brother the late Il. G.
Hitchcock, he secured land at Papai-
kou, and Hitchcock q Brother began
the cultivation of cane. The late DR..

Mr.. Hitchcock came to Hilo to reside
and practice his profession of law He
was several times elected to the LegiS-
| lature and was a member of the Con-
| stttutional Convention in 1894. Since
| then he has taken no active part in
| the affairs of the country, but he has
! devoted much time and money in the
preparation of pamphlets or circulars
which were sent abroad for the pur-
! pose of advertising this district
Mr.. Hitchcocks illness dates from
