Saturday was = memorable day in Nor.
folk. Foryears have our citizens desired
TO see Bank OF their own established a.
mong them. and. after years OF trial and
tou. the subject has at last been accom-
plished. The Exchange Bank OF Virgin
IA, unhurt by the recent DISASTROUS crisis
IN monetary AFFAIRS, and fresh in IL, re-
sources, opened it, doors for business on
Saturday.
The institution has made lis debut un-
der the most favorable auspices. Its stock
cannot fail to be as profitable as that OF
any Bank IN the Atlantic States. The
position OF the parent Bank here. aud the
wise location OF its branches IN Richmond
Petersburg. and Clarksvrlle. ensure a
prompt and profitable use OF lis banking
capital. IL will eGlist in its behalf the IN.
terest Of the James and kanaxha trade,
OF the Roanoke trade, as far az its shared
by Petersburg, and the trade that belongs
TO our own port. IL is universally con-
cededby business men that the bank cap.
Itsi OF the State is not sufficient for the
ordinary range OF domestic business, and a
moderate foreign trade. And if this be
true. the present Banking institutions,
each IN its respective sphere. need fear
no idle capital will remain long on hand
The Bank Of Virginia the Farmers Bank,
