The Closing Program.

This afternoon Jasper Blines gave
my Recollections of the Traffic Along
the Old Alexandria and Bloomfield
Road" a very interesting recollection
OF incidents along once very i'm
portant highway. j. D. Rebo, who was
to have spoken yesterday, gave talk
on THE Future of Alexandria" Some
on the program were unable to be
present but this did not matter. The
feature, despite the fact that the ad-
dresses were extraordinarily interest
ing, was the reading of letters from
former residents in different PARTS
of the country who expressed their
desire but inability to come back
once more.
All during the two days visiting"
had been one of the chief attractions
and the most of the talk has been of
the past Last night under the
trees in the park the people gathered,
listened to the music and held a gen.
eral love feast.
The two days home coming ended
this afternoon but each year it inter
ests more people and each year there
is desire expressed that 1t is SO
short And when the people of the
city take the home comers' In their
homes with such hearty welcome
as they have done 1t is to be sgor-
dered that they ever. want to leave.
