In OLD ALEXANDRIA, We quote as follows
from personal note from Mrs. E. O Patterson
under date of Alexandria, Va, Feb. 4, 1916
I'VE like Alexandria very much; it is SO very
interesting. The quaint old homes are won
der to me. There is one drug stpre here
founded by the Leadbeaters in 1892 and still
doing business They have ledger in which
is written order for oil by George Washing
ton himself. We had letters to quite few
people here and find them delightful, and be-
ing so near Washington can go over at any
time. We are both we'll and having delightful
weather. The Journal comes to US promptly
and how we do enjo it. 1t is always race to
see who will get it first. 1t is like letter

The VILLAGE Posi- OFFICE. The entertain
ment given in the Baptist vestry last Tues
day evening was a great success. The scene
was a country store and post office, with the
store in one corner and the nail kegs near by
occupied by typical country politicians and ex-
Founders of current topics. The arrival of
the village seamstress was the signal that the
gossip of the town would be revealed. The
postmaster, Deacon Charles E. Rhoades, and
his wife, Mrs. Geo. Holt, took their parts to
perfection, while the real stars were Deacon
George E. White and his wife, Mrs. Benjamin
Robertson. They had just returned from their
first visit to the city, where they had heard
Billie Sunday and reproduced in duets some of
the music they heard. The proceeds were $24.
