The Stockholders and
Directors,

itan Bank has passed prac-

Tho Metropolitan Bank has passed prac-
tically into new hands.
In other words, new blood has been
introduced, q new charter secured, with
the name changed to the Metropolitan
Bank OF Virginia, and the capital stock
increased to 100000, all of which has
been paid in.
Colonel W. Brydon Tenant succeeds
HIr. Thomas Nelson Carter as president
Mr.. Carter some time ago signitied MS
intention to give up the presidency as
soon as his successor should be chosen.
While the Metropolitan Bank has suf-
fered to some extent by financial failures
of certain firms c- individuals, it was
never SO strong as it is to-day, and those
who are backing it are among the most
substantial citizens of the city.
THE STOCKHOLDERS.
Some of the stockholders arc McasIs.
Robert S. Bosher, p. II. Mayo, Thomas
n. Atkinson, James n. Boyd, Thomas
n. Carter John l.. Williams and
Sons, w. Brydon Tenant, Henry L.
Cabell, c. w. Branch & Co., Richard II.
Meade and George Pope, of New York.
The officers of the new bank, as named
in the charter will be Mr.. w. Brydon
Tenr ant, President; Henry j.. Cabell.
Vfce-President, and II. \. Williams,
Cashier. The Directors for The first year
will be Robt. S. Bosher, Thos. \. Carter,
w. Brydon Tenant R. II. Meade, Lang
bourne NJ. Williams, Henry L Cabell,
and Beverly IT. Crumr.
It will be thus seen that the new bank
starts out under very suspicious cir
cumstances, managed as it is by some of
the most successful business men of
Richmond, and as 1t succeeds to an ex-
cellent business it will add strengath to
the banking interests of our city, and be
a new power in promoting its growth.
TAKE CONTROL AT ONCE.
The gentlemen to whom the charter
was granted assume control of the bank
ing property at once. TO the depositors
and customers of the bank the change
will have no other significance than
they will be dealing with an institution
much stronger than ever 1t WIS before.
There will be no change in the clerical
force or interior management of the bank
Mr.. II. A. Williams will continue cashier,
and will retain his present clerical help.
The backing of the bank is now strong
combination of wealthy and conservative
men of this city, and the future Of the
institution very bright.
Colonel Tenant is a young lawyer and
represents large financial interests. He
was a member of Governor tyler s. staff.
1t is understood that he VIII devote the
most of his time to the affairs of the
bank.
Mr.. Williams mas been the cashier for
several years, and Mr.. II. l.. .Cabell, who

dent Of the Chamber of Commerce.
