which has been held in Richmond,
and which finished up their business
on Friday last, have arranged a

breaking bulk, as it was just prior
to the breaking out of the war. We
all remember what great satisfac-
ton it gave our business men at
that time, to witness the tremen-
dous long trains of cars loaded down
with the oa6ulum of commerce al
irving here every day from the
West. This was exstatic, indeed,
after the long agony of taxation
and hope deferred that we had I'M
dsrgone to accomplish this great
enterprise. The war came, how
ever, and again nipped our hopes.
But, now, the realization is about
to dawn upon us in real, true earn
est, and we can't help feeling big
with the Importance of the reality.
