Ode To Fair Virginia.

Virginia fair, our own Southland.
How high thy mountains rise,
Towering hills Of giant strength,
With her all honor lies.
For centuries past she has adorned,
Az star Of our great nation.
Land Of the free. and home OF the
brave
We are Justly proud Of her station.
AS queen among States, she stands
erect.
While kindly admonition
Is voiced by those who flocked to her
polls.
Demanding "Prohibition.'
In this wise step she shows to the
world
A beauty more aggressive,
To Danish forever from her land
A horrible blight, oppressive.
She's stood the storms Of many years.
And never her duty shirked;
She's always conquered for the good,
Because her people worked.
Through thick and thin she's come.
for those she loved at home.
Virginia oh, that name so dear,
Sweet memories to me bring;
Old Mother State TO me so fair
Her praise I'll ever sing,
A State that every son of toll
With pride may always turn
Her fair escutcheon to uphold.
While pride within him burns
To the good and pure there comes
success.
\ reward for all they win her;
Upheld by sons Of truest type,
The pride Of old Virginia,
To such people, greatly blessed.
Withal 80 richly endowed,
should on their knees the Master
praise
For so much good, be proud

The present laws governing the

We have created expectations of ex-
