And speaking about bright tobacco ::
y very interesting interview, concern
ing the weed and it's good work for
Richmond is published in another part
OF this section. James n. Boyd. q
well-known Richmond tobacconst and
banker. tells how the bright weed
filled vacuum In commercial Rich
mcnd within the last half year and
thus kept this good town from taking
up the cry that was heard from other
money centres about duh times and
poor trade. The story of Mr.. Boyd is
calculated to remind old soldiers OF
history that was made "a little more
than lift" years ago, when Richmond
was in bad fix and was about to fall
into the hands of General Mcclellan.
Just in the nick of time Stoncwall
Jackson came unexpectedly upon Nc
Clelian's rear. broke his lines, seat
tered his forces and saved the day for
Richmond.
According to Mr.. Boyd, it was the
bright tobacco crop OF Virginia and
North Carolina that last fall played the
roll of Stcncwall Jackson for CONNER
cial Richmond.
