THE SEASON OPENS.
| The Mokihana Club gave its first
dance for the season last Saturday.
needless to say with perfect success.
The ladies had sent out some two hum
dred invitations to their friends and
acquaintances on Kauai and the invi-
tation met with a general acceptance
wherever 1t was sent. Kauai people
from Hanalei to Makaweli thought
nothing of the distances or the muddy
roads but came eager to enjoy the hos
pitality of the Lihue ladies.
TO HELP THE BAND.
| The year is nearing it's end, but the
funds OF the Lihue band came to an
end long ago, so now is your chance
| to show your public spirit as we'll as
you liberality and take up your share
of the maintenance of it. Father Adal-
bert. who has put in some hard licks
to get the organization started and
later in keeping 1t together, last year
took list round to some of the peo-
pie of the district, who responded gen.
erously. A subscription list has been
placed in the hands of Mr.. ]. ]. Hiorth
at Lihue store where all those who last
year showed their appreciation of the
worthiness of the cause by subscrip-
tion will have a chance to prove the
courage of their last years opinion by
doing likewise this year.
GOOD ROAD NOW.
| John H. Wilson, who has a contract
| for macadamizing some of the county's
roads. has finished the stretch between
Mahinauli gulch and the railroad cross
| ing beyond the Hanapepe hill. The
disgraceful road and the rickety
bridges were not only the joke of every
| traveller in the Territory but a danger
to those who had to use them. The
danger is now eliminated by the new
concrete bridges and a smooth road
with good grades will soon have re-
placed the old dust streak.
HOME AGAIN.
On the return of C. w. Smith from
short vacation in Honolulu the geni-
al blacksmith of Makaweli entertained
a few of his friends at very pleasant
chowder down at the landing Saturday
evening, the first. The chowder was
most delicious and all appreciated the
efforts of Mr.. Smiths inimitable cook.
Kawamoto. After a delightful trip in
the landing launch the guests returned
to sit down in the beautiful moonlight
to a delicious spread. Soft Hawaiian
airs made the time fly and all too soon
1t was announced that the train was
| ready to return to the camp. Those
