Of the Alexandrans conceived the idea OF
sounding cavalry call in honor OF Gen.
Lee which idea was soon put into execution.
The band was "posted' and as Mr.. Dunlop
concluded his speech, they struck up
Dixie" which they played with vim.
When the baud ceased playing, bet without

that night. This they did and the result was
his unanimous nomination.
