Mr. John Lsing, who was born in Berbice, was in the Colonial Bank from 1871 until 1894 when he went to Demo tars as Joiut Attorney of Messrs. Sand bach, Parker and Co.

After an absence of very near.

Much is expected to accrue, not only to British Guiana, but to the West India Islands also.
from the recent visit of the representative from the Colonial Office and the searching inquir ies held as to the tion of these colonies and future possibilities. The visit of Sir Edward Davson, and the keen interest taken by him all that concern India Islande and the will. am sure, bear good fruit in the near future, but in any ouse he deserves the shanks of all colonists in these Would that we had more men ready and capable in assisting in the re construction and building up of the economic and commercial life of these old and valuable colonies!
British Guiana is, in my opinion, capable of great expansion It can largely develop its sugar if only given fair play: the rice industry is suited in every way to attract large num bers of East Indians, and can be greatly expanded. therefore hope that the deputation Bent from India will report favour ably as to the status of the East Indian in British Guiana and the suitability of climate, with the result of a steady flow of a labourers into the colony from India, by which the sugar and rice industries will benefit.
