THE GOVERNORS OF UTAH. CLOSE OF THE SKETCHES—ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

Our sketches of the fourteen territorial governors of Utah are now ended. In this number is presented the likeness of Hon. Alfred Cumming, the second governor, whose brief biography ap- peared in number two of this volume, but whose portrait could not be obtained at that time. All but two portraits, those of Governors Harding and Vaughn, have been printed, making the first collection of these officers ever attempted. The Era expects to obtain the missing ones, so that the collection may be made complete. For information enabling it to secure this portrait of Utah's second executive, the Era is indebted to Governor A. D. Candler, of Atlanta, and Major Joseph B. Cumming, of Augusta, Georgia. It was taken by Mr. H. C. Hall, photographer, Augusta, Georgia, from an enlarged picture in the city council chamber of that city, of which Governor Cumming was mayor when quite a young man. In connection with securing other information and portraits for this series, the Era also acknowledges the valuable assistance
