EDITORS VIRGINIAN.-I notice in the
Spectator Of this morning an article under

Enterprise which reelected somewhat
pom my business. The correspondent al
ludes to Mrs. B., in connection with the
purchase of carriage. While it is not my
purpose to expose my business negotiations
to the public, it becomes necessary to say
that every effort has been made to please
both by plan and suggestion, and that Mrs.
B. has never yet declared the precise kind
of vehicle desired. nor has the price been
named or asked for.
For thirty years have been engaged in
business in Staunton, embracing the days Of
my boyhood and maturer years, and during
that time have earnestly sought to do JUS
tice to my customers, and to maintain the
character of all honest workman in the
work have sold. think can appeal to
my transactions with the people of Augusta
and adjoining counties for the truth Of this,
for if there has been dissatisfaction am yet
to hear of it.
l do not propose to build slop- shop work,
nor to take short cuts to get work, Ii
cannot be encouraged in making such work
as will reflect credit upon my occupation,
myself and the city OF Staunton, am sure
there are other localities where such efforts
will be appreciated.
