Island is inhabited mostly by Ne
groes, some of whom settled here
more than 20 years ago and have
made a success at farming, as this
is as rich as the Valley of the Nile,
the only other place like it in the
world. Some of them are the Will
son brothers, John Jr. and Woodrow
who have large holdings and raise
stock. They, together with their
brother-in-law have deep well.
Mrs. Minnie Wilson, wife of John,
Jr., is raising chickens for market.

Haughtelling. She is interested in
developing this Island and has sew

lake which has a frontage of three
fourths mile of water.
There are many families locating

Suffolk area of the state during
the past year.
