Found this morning, placed on street sides and at the entrances of several of our businesses was a curious announcement printed in English, and this below is what this announcement was like:

ANNOUNCEMENT.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS.

S. S. T.

AT THE USUAL PLACE.

(Kuokoa, 12/3/1887, p. 3)

Passed by yesterday and stopped to remember…

Kaumakapili Church member, 1910.

Old Member of Kaumakapili.

Mr. Aheakalani.

The picture above is one of Aheakalani, one of the very old members of Kaumakapili Church, and he has perhaps reached the age of ninety-five, being that he was going about about during the time Kamehameha was king.
He was first in the congregation of the church of Waiohinu, Kau, when the kahu were Parker, Mikahana and Mikini.

However, when he returned to Honolulu to live, he became a member of Kaumakapili Church, when Rev. Rowell Smith was kahu. And from that time, he has been one of the congregation there for sixty years. He is in good health and walks to prayer ever Sunday.
He is stout, but he is in recovery, and walks every Sunday with his cane, and through him, God is glorified for his amazing works.
(Kuokoa, 5/27/1910, p. 5)
HE HOAHANAU KAHIKO NO KAUMAKAPILI.

Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Buke XLVII, Helu 21, Aoao 5. Mei 27, 1910.

Something to see, 1868.

[Found under: “LOCAL NEWS: Oahu.”]

A picture of the Legislature of Hawaii.—In Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper of New York, on the 4th of January, we just saw that there was printed in that paper a picture of the opening and the adjourning of the Legislature of 1866. Perhaps it was disseminated by a newspaper, and from there its likeness was drawn, however, when we gave it a glance, it wasn’t similar at all.

This is Mr. J. K. Mokumaia with the Maori malihini, photographed before the statue of Kamehameha; they are Mr. and Mrs. Clark of New Zealand. The woman is the last kaukau alii [kaukaualii hope loa ??], and they came to do good works by strengthening the missionaries of the Latter Day.

[The text is pretty clear, but during the last decades of the newspapers, you will notice more and more typos, as you can see here.

If the newspapers were reshot clearly, the image would no doubt be much more crisp.]
