The Eynchbtsrs Failures.

Two OF the oldest and most respec-
table business men of Lynchburg
have failed, as the following from
he News will explain.
The Recent Failures in this city
are MessIs. G. NJ. and A. b. Rucker,
the former a dry goods merchant and
the latter n leading grocer and COM
mission merchant. TIE Liabilities of
the former, We learn from reliable
source, are about SS0, 900, ard of the
latter so, lC9. The assets of the for
mer will realize about $4,000, and of
the latter about $50, GEO, leaving only a
deficit of SIS 900; and Of this amount
of $3.50, 600 $50, 0G0 are due northern
merchants, and the remainder to the
banks and banking-houses in this city
and to private individuals in the city
and country. The Indebtedness to the
banks stands about as follows: Peoples
Savings Bank, $3l 900; First National,
81. 5000: IIynchburg National, $1,000;
Miller G. Franklin, $4,000. Total,
S51 SEQ.
The Virginia Savings Rank and The
banking-houses of p. a. Krise and

to any extent as far as we can learn.
by compromise between the differ
ant home creditors and the Messrs.
Rlcker, Mr.. \. b Rucker agrees to
pay siXty-five cents in the dollar of
his indebted e., and Mr.. G. NJ. Rucker
fifty cents, which, with other securi-
ties, reduces the actual losses sustained
by the banks to about as follows: Peo-
pies Bank of $1,000; Miller & Frank
lin, 5000: First National, 81, 5000;
Lynchburg National, 81, 5000. These
losses in no manner effect the credit
or stability of these institutions, or
impair their financial capacity. Nor
do they in any manner affect the fl
nancial affairs of the merchants and
business men of the community, none
of whom sustain any loss by these fail
uTeS.
The failure of the Messrs. Rucker
has in no wise impaired the confidence
of this community in their perfect in
tegrity and business capacity, and
their untiring energy will ere long
place them on their feet again, and
place them among our most prosperous
business men.-LJncMUJg Nc,CS.

that TIER Representatives should con-

bad policy TO hold them to their fix"
and thus get rid of a whole batch of

stance. The repeal out-and-out of the

ALGrge So" ei Fsrsa@;i ffspcriy.

Come you discOnsolate, read this
and take hope. "There is life in the
old land yet" What we need most,
is more perfect fulfiliment of Napole-
on's adage always have the right man
in the right place. Adam Shultz, a
citizen of Washington county, Va,
seems to have a correct idea of the fit
ness of things; on the Goth of Dec,
1871, at his residence, he made sale
of n large amount of personal proper
ty, by public auction. Northumberland
ing the cry of the extremely low price
of property all over the entire Com
monwealth, his auctioneer, Col. d. A.
z. Campbell. succeeded in making
each article offered for sale bring as
much, and in some instances, more
than the same article would have
brought before the war. The Col. I'M
derstands the science of auctioneering.
TO illustrate more fully what we have
said. we will mention some of the ar
ticles sold with prices: one horse, a
years old $685., 75, one pr. of mules 8
yrs. old, S26S; Berkshire pigs brought
SIS each, they were 3 moths old. The
sale amounted to about $500. If any
of your friends in Goodson have per-
sonal property to sell at auction, and
want it to bring the highest market
price let them get Col. Campbell to sell
it for them. Very Respectfully,
Yours, &c,
A FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE.
