Mr. Thomas Hutherfoord built a mill on the canal above the waterworks, but the fire destroyed it—more than once—and, finally, it was not rebuilt.
Mr. Hutherfoord found tobacco, whence his large fortune was derived, much more profitable than milling. During the war of 1812, he accumulated a vast store of tobacco, which he stored on his extensive premises, on part of the side of which Linden Row, on Franklin Street, between First and Second, was afterwards built, not daring to store it near the port, for fear of a similar raid as on Washington, when tobacco would have been a royal prize.
The citizens of Richmond should erect a splendid temple to the honor of tobacco, because, as said, it is and will continue to be the source of its wealth. If tobacco is an evil, it would be well that there be many more such evils, for tobacco dispenses more happiness among the weary sons of men than any other class of nature. Then, honor tobacco with a splendid temple, say T. though I have never myself used tobacco in any form.
