Attic Musical Wonder.

Alexandria, as well as several
other towns in the United States,
is the possessor of musical pro-
Dizzy. We allude to little Miss
Virginia, the 5-year old daughter
of Mr.. Willie Marsh. She does
not know one note from another,
but when she hears a piece of mu-
sic once played, can go to the piano
and rattle it off like professional.
Miss. Marzalie, the eldest daughter
of Mr.. Marsh, plays by note, and it
is most interesting to hear her lit
tie sister accompanying her in duets
on the piano and keeping perfect
time. Miss Virginia is certainly
a wonderful natural musician, and
is sure to make her mark in the
musical world Town Talk.
