may protract emigration from year TO year, but
they must come out from among people that ioilI

"We are getting along in our usually quiet way.
Improvements are steadily advancing, and every
year brings with it convincing proof Of Liberia g
permanent advancement May an all wise Proyi-
dence continue to watch over her interests"
The Liberia Herald has an article in relation to
the wealth of tho Bo-Poro country in Africa, and
the character of its people. and suggests that the
