Connection In noticing the Rich
moud advertisements in this paper, in our
issue of the 23d Of March, we stated that
"Jessio T. Hutchinson, Esq, of the firm
Of Hutcheson Il sarvay, would soon visit
tue Kanawha Valley With view to pur-
chasing tho tobacco crops from our farm
crs' Since that time we have learned
that wc committed a grave error. The
business of the Grm Of Hutchesou & Saryay
is strictly toinspect and sell tobacco. The
laws of Virginia, under heavy penalty, ex-
prcssly forbid an Inspector buying tobac-
co. Therefore thc.ohject of Mr.. Hutche-
sons visit to our Valley was to form the
acquaintance of our tobacco growers, and
to solicit consigumcnts from them to the
Richmond market. We regret that we
made the mistake, but trust that this ex-
PLANTATION will be satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
