The Record, of Philadelphia,
says in it's issue of Sunday: "Ihere
has been terrible tempest in the
Connecticut Legislature over a pro-
position to appropriate 1925 to re-
pair Confederate flag taken by
the old Ninth Regiment, and re-
turn it to the Third Mississippi,
from which it was taken at Pass
Christian. The Legislature has al
ready voted to send down the flag
as proof of fraternal feeling, but
tile resolution for appropriation was
vehemently opposed by number
of rural patriots, most if not all of
whom were either not represented
in the war or were represented by
substitutes. When it comes to de-
batting a war question the man who
did not go down South can always
he depended upon to emulate the
Texan COW, of which its proud ow-
ner remarked that she could paw
deeper, kick higher, squel louder
and give less milk than anything
ON the footstool that wore hide,
hoofs and horns"

-QU1TE pleasant impromptu
wedding ceremony was performed
on Tuesday evening last, at the
residence of Mr.. Henry NJ. Rogers,
near the Tramway. The lucky
holder of the winning card was our
gallant young friend, Mr.. Robert
Martin, and the bride was Miss
Florida Hanna, quite a charming
and pretty Miss of eighteen sum-
mers. The marriage service was
performed by one of the Magis.
trates of the Alexandra Ward. We
sincerely hope that the matrimonial
bond of our young friends may
prove a silken tie, uniting two hap
Ply hearts through a long and pros
porous future.

LOCALS are few and far be-
tween in Alexandria. Nothing of
special interest occurs, and the only
thing left ye news gatherer to say
is that Mr.. Brown is in Town or
Mrs. Smith is going to leave. A
suggestion, provided it is a sensi-
bic one, is sometimes needed, but
some one other than the writer gets
the credit for the views expressed.
Aud so it is, and so it will ever he.
Verify, the lot of a newspaper man
is hard one, and has its thousand
and one obstacles. But then this
world of ours moves on Just the
same, and a hundred years from
now no one will know the differ
ence or be any the wiser.
