grade at Lee School and have been ex-
ceedingly energetic III their cellec-
tions from the children of this grade,
which has amounted to total sum of
$3.50. These are only two of the lit
tie lassies in Miss Davis school who
have been very active in working
for the hospital fuba This is an ex-
lample of the spirit that has actuated
mot only the children,but their elders,
and has resulted in the procuring for
Alexandria an mp-to-date hospitalr
which will doubtless be ready to he
opened at the beginning of the new
year.
