CoRREcrIoN In noticing tho Rich
moud advertisements in this paper, in our
issue of the 23d Of March, We stated that
"Jessic T. Hutchinson, Esq, of the firm
Of Hutcheson & sarvay, would soon visit
the Kanawha Valley With view to pur-
chasing the tobacco crops from our farm
crs" Since that time we have learned
that We committed grave error. The
business OF the Grm of Hutchinson & Saryay
lis strictly to inspect and sell tobacco. The
laws Of Virginia, under heavy penalty, ex-
prcssly forbid an Inspector buying tobac-
co. Therefore object of Mr.. Hutchc-
sons visit TO our Valley was to form the
acquaintance of our tobacco growers, aud
to solicit cousiguments from them to the
Richmond market. We regret that We
made the mistake, but trust that this ex-
plauation will DO satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
