Settlement ideas have long prevailed on the Heard
plantation though they have not been put into
effect in a systematized way. About one hundred
negroes compose the tenantry, and for years Mrs
Heard has been placing the market the hand

hands for example. Flower and vegetable seeds
have been distributed among them IN the season;

Mrs Heard Is the head, have found place In

different from that In Denmark Permission could

postal authorities were encouragngly friendly TO
the scheme, and put no obstacles IN the way.
