PREFACE.


Since the issue of our last Richmond City Directory, mimer- ous removals by our citizens have taken place. Two years wit- ness many changes; some familiar and respected names are regretfully dropped, their owners having gone to the Christian's hope-a better land. Others have sought greener pastures in localities where the sun seemed to shine brighter and the business atmosphere to be more vigorous. In the places of those, new faces have appeared among us, and new names are here intermingled with the old ones. While we regret the names that have departed, we welcome the new ones, and our local pride is flattered by the knowledge that on the whole the city is more than holding its own, and that our population is larger by some two thousand than it was two years ago.


In the compilation and preparation of this work, special efforts have been made to secure the name of every person over fifteen years of age, and we have taken particular pains to verify the work of the canvassers wherever we found anything doubtful. Therefore, while anything like perfection in this kind of a work can not be expected, we feel satisfied it is on the whole well done, and will be found valuable to those who need it as a book of reference to the homes of our people.


Respectfully, THE PUBLISHERS.
