The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1878-05-10


A Charleston Is. CT special ~ tbe
Esd says Now that the Azor has sailed
and Is probably some hundreds Of miles
away, and the excitement attending her
departure has somewhat abated, the
question arises what is to become of the
unfortunate emigrants who have been
left behind and must remain in the CITY
until her return for the next VOYAGE.
Careful inquiry at the Office Of the lii
berian Exodus Association develops the
fact that 175 enigrants, men. women
and children, have been left behind and
intend waiting to take passage on the
next trip. Of this number TWENTY-FIVE
have sent their baggage and effects to
MQnrovia BY the Azor ahead Of them.
while the remaining 80 have their
goods and chattels stored away in
the lower rooms of the building
IN Exchange Street, occupied by the as
ISOLATION. These unfortunate men and
women, with their little children, are
nearly all from the upper portion ~ the
State and Georgia, and have left home
and friends and spent the hoardinys Of
years in their efforts to reach the prom
scd land. Having made these sacri-
ices upon the assurance and induce
nents Of the Exodus Association the lat
er - Of course, directly responsible for
ner welfare until the Azor returns.
'eeling this, responsibility, and know
ng that the eye Of the community up
N them, the Aofficers Of the association
ave acted with commendable prompt-
ude. To-day they completed the pur-
base OF plantation Of 270 acres, on
10 west side Of the Wanda River, in the
arish OF st. Thomas and st. Dennis,
bout ten miles from the city, where

migrants Ind furnish them with oc-
