Of the distinct marks Of alteration which
they bore. Jones was sent out by Colo-

he considers better than any which he ever

Coffee, cotton, and rice are indigenous, and
grow well but in order that they should

years after planting. Jones saw some trees
picked which yielded abundantly. The
natives are good laborers, and conienied
with very low wages-not over twenty-five
cents day. With their help, it would be
easy to cultivate coffee, rice, and cotton, to
any extent, and with ample profit. Plan

bear pine apples abundan,ly, and various
