As the James River and kanawha Company

10 supply The place o. Joseph Z. Cabrll, Esq, as
President Of the said Company, We woult mos;
earnestly recommend 10 their notice Col. John
Jordan, OF Rcckbridge, as one, in our opinion,
most emincnly qualified for the dulles OF lha,
station. COL jordan has been from his youth a
thoroughly practical man IN the best sense OF thar
term, and mis- avocaions have been OF that pecr-
liar character which make him especially suit
able Tor The station OF President of the James Ri
yer and kanawha Company. We hope, there
fore, hat in filling The Office his claims may re-
ceyc The unpreJudced and fair consideration ot
The Company. This recommendation If Col.
jordan is made without his knowledge, hut spon-
laneousy on cur palt, from conviction thai no
man OF higher or superior qualifications can be
had. We say this, without in any way intending
10 disparase The claims Of any other gentleman
who may be recommended 10 The Company.
