Learning that MI. John r. Ballard has il In con,em-
piation TO remove to the City Of Richmond and engage
in the business Of keeping u public house there, the
undersigned, members of The BAR, regularly attending
the Courts OF Fluvanna. and scjourning at the Palmy-
Ia Hotel, now kept by Mr.. Ballard, take the greatest
pleasure in bearing our testimony To the high quaIitica-
engaged. We believe we hazard nothing in affirming
that Mr.. Ballard has no superior in The STATE Of Yirginia
a. the keeper of n public house. To the utmost kind
ness aud ur5anity of manners, aud attention to the
comforts ofhis guests, which Is unremitting but not OBJ
i.usive, and the most perfect system, neainsss and or
der about his domestic arrangements, Mr.. Ballard uniies
the most untlring energy and the most sterling %integri-
~. His house III Palmyra is already known far and
near us being probably the best appointed Hotel and the
mos, agreeable country Tavern in the Commonwealth.
Whilst we should part with Mr. Ballard with regret,
we shall rejoice To hear That lie fills u position which
Will give a fairer scope 10 his energies, aud enable him
10 do well for himself and family.
