although il has escape1 Iefr notice that some
member OF the Legislature has introduced some

thousands of people have been employed in the

Discussing this little matter OF better base
ball in Richmond. the Greensboro Record saws:
Would il not he slam if Richmond should
fail? Would tho Virginia League bows
smile? We have a better opinion OF the citv
Richmond boom town. She has
kept steadily at her knitting. always climbing
up and never going backward. To fail I'm this
enterprise would make her the lauphings,ock
OF tho whole country Her citizens should be-
stir themselves and take tho amount Of stock
