tors to be had who live less than ten miles from
plantations. No doubt, should any contagious
disease break out on a plantation many would die
for want of n physician to attend them. On some

crossed In the rainy season it is quite dangerous
and impossible to cross the swollen streams and n

the interests of the community and the nation to

questions important alike to foreign and native in

with good grounds that many natives de-
sirous of supporting two foreigners in this, and
