IL must be subject OF congraulaon with the fiends

III pursuance oil liberal and enlightened policy have
awaited themselves OF the of the last legislature an
lbozing them TO subscribe the stock of this
and TO increase their banking capital They have 49,
subscribed Tor five thousand shares leaving up

stockholders OF the Farmers Bank have declined the IA.
vonrao'e opportunity afforded them, of benefng them.

ny a IKE subscription. This, however, was matter
,or mem 10 Judge of-and it may yet be subject
Tor their profound considerations whether before II
be Too ate they will not call another mee,ing ot ,h
Stockholders, take proper cause more gen.
ea iePresen'ion OF the Stock, and follow the example
which mas ocen set them by the Bank of Virginia In
the mean time however, ii becomes the l,ieSds o mis-
improvement TO rely upon such conting ency The
"1'h can ana no doubt viii be accomplished without the

would therefore suggest for The consideration of The
friends oil this improvements whether would not be adj
ssoe 70 can meetings OF the people favourable TO the
ehePrIe 10 deliberate on the eXpedency of peionino
Inc next Legislature to authorize the establishment
aotner BANK on condition, that shall subscribe TO the
STOCK OF u James River and Kanawha Company. Such
proposition could not ia TO be vourably received bv
The Legislature. Nor lhe be the least doubt tba,
he stock OF such Bank would be readily subscribed r
and the institution be popular if for no other
uoh IMAM the great object which its establishment would
accomplish -0''
In the meantime, however, no effort should be snared n
ion
TO The Legislature Let those who have moi We, shscL

'heir SUBSCRIPTIONS The amendment the charter by
the last Legislature, authorizing transfer of the stool ii
ter the payment Of twenty five dollars per share wbont
any farther liability OF the subscriber for
puts I'm hepower OF every friend the improv Mt TO
augment MS subscriptions while the transferabity of the
stock must add TO its value 10y " '
These suggestions thrown out for consideration in
case no effort be made by the Stockholders in the Farmers
bdhK 10 procure another meeting, and more general re-
presentation Of the stock than took place AT te Ia,e meal,
ing 1t requires but little reflection 10 perceive ,a,
failure on the part of The Farmers Bank to subscribe %
unueT eNsns circumstances give the Bank of Vireni,
such decided advantages it, and such superior claims
e i'vorane consideration and patronage the leeis
allure aud as to render the policy Of sub.
scrpton by the Farmers Bank no longer doubtful ovo
with many Of those who have heretofore been onnosI
tis therefore TO be hoped, that measures win bc
@ W ave lave re- consideration Of the subject by The
FARMERS Bank, and to so full represen,,,o Of
the s'ock as to cause full fair vote on The o,es
as 'dr as e vote has already been taken there were Yo
W OF the subscriptions and il is said that the
adjournment OF the meeng greatly cur,aled
the vote which would otherwise have been ciyen UJ
GHcus 0een addressed TO all the Stockholders las
uone by The Bank of Virginia. forwarding po,yeS N A,
torney and reminding them of the fine of ,noa,; ,,
amount oil stock represented would no doubt have
greauy augmented. This may yet be pursued
