know these men, and l am authorized
to say that these gentlemen will take the

for them. They represent not only the true
commercial and property interests of Rich
mond and Petersburg, but they represent
also the true wishes of very large ma
jority of the private stockholders in the

to the company itself. And, MIR. Speaker,
l, US manufacturer and shipper in this
city, feel assured that when the sale to
these honorable and responsible gentlemen

could not hope for after the developments
