Aloha Nūhou Monday!
It is a usual thing to see a variety of announcements in the newspapers. They can span from ads for businesses such as banks and music stores, to government matters such as tax assessing schedules or legal issues, and to even very personal concerns.
This will be the last month this volume of Ka Nupepa Kuokoa will be on display in the case celebrating the bicentennial of printing in Hawaiʻi on the third floor of Hawaiian Hall. Below you will find a selection of advertisements appearing on the open page of the July 24, 1880 issue.

My wife in marriage Keahi ran away with Malatiali, the one who caused her to run away. This is the fifth week of her being gone; I have not seen her at all from the day of her disappearance to this day that I am circulating this. From what I have heard, she is being hidden by her close friends in the cave at Weliweli, by an old man that is named Kupele, and her parents are assisting in hiding her. So, I am proclaiming and forbidding that no one is to care for or welcome my wife Keahi. If the one taking care of her and hiding her is seen, I will take him to court. I have left the searching and the capturing to the district magistrate, and the police have not searched for my wife at all to this day, the day I am advertising this. And as a result of their lack of searching, that is why I am directing everyone to sieze the person of Keahi, my wife, when they see her wherever, and take her at once to the magistrate to be tried. I am newly hearing that she is at Kamoʻoloa, at the house of Kea, her friend, and her parents go there to see her. The parents of my wife are the reason for this trouble because it was they who took care of at their house and greatly favored Malatiali, and it was as a result of this that my wife associated extensively with that Malatiali, the one who made her run away. Everyone is directed not to give credit to my wife, or they will end up losing out because I am not going to pay her debts.

Savings Bank!
We take care of people’s money in the bank as follows:
If someone deposits $300 or less, then we pay six per cent in interest per year, from the day that it is brought in, to the day that it is withdrawn, should the deposit be left for three months or more. No interest is calculated for a fraction of a dollar, and for a partial month.
If they withdraw their money early, and the three months have not passed, there is no interest.
If a person is thinking of withdrawing their money, they must come to the bank with their intent to withdraw 30 days prior, and their book must be brought in as well.
Only by draft of the depositor will he get paid, and his book must be brought in as well.
On the first day of September of each year the money will be collected, and the interest will be combined with the principal of the money that was deposited for the three months or greater, and the principal will increase upon which the interest will accrue.
If the deposit amount is greater than $300, then terms mutually decided.
The bank is open on all working days.
