• notes: In early October 1853, the Scott brothers sold their interest in the daily to printer Thomas Bailie (1816-57) and lawyer Alexander H. Sands (1828-87); Carter H. Irving kept an interest in the concern and continued editing the paper; under the new arrangement, the journal was reduced in page-size and issued as an evening paper under the title above, becoming a "penny print," evidently Richmond's first, beginning on October 11, 1853. The changes did not succeed economically, however, and the firm was dissolved by mutual consent on December 1, 1854, bringing publication of the city's first successful daily to an end.
