We sincerely nope that this matter may now reach a finality, as it willTeliere the city of an immense deal of expense and annoyance, and wipe out a dis agreeable record. Should the bondholders see fit not to meet the city representatives in a liberal spirit, however, pay day maybeindefi nitely postponed, to the loss and inconvenience efboth parties. If they are wise they will not refuse “the bird in hand.” — - - 28 8-10 Desperate Fight in Wirt County, Va.
