The Growth of Richmond.

We have seen many cities grow rap.
idly, but never one that exhibited more
signs OF permanent as well as rapid
growth than Richmond hss since the
war and does now. We went out Ia
Hollywood day or two since, and ii
seemed to us that Aladdin had indeed
been along with his wonderful lamp.
1t looked like the work of magic to see
that vast common, which but year OF
so ago spread out like q great field, cut
through with well made streets and
built up compactly with neat and SUBJ
s,antial houses. We were amazed at
this undreampt of evidence of our mate
rial growth and prosperity; but our
faith in the future of this beautiful city
was fully confirmed and established
