ALEXANDRIA COUNTY.

That Alexandria county is proud of
her soldier boys who served in the
great war and have returned to their
homes is evidenced by the number of
entertainments and celebrations held,
being arranged and proposed in their
honor.
1t is expected that the citizens of
this county will soon organize for the
purpose of arranging general well
come home celebration for the white
boys OF the county who served In the
world war. However. it is thought to
be inadvisable to hold the celebration
until general rehabilitation becomes
effective SO that every man who served
will be able to participate. Three
hundred dollars has been set aside by
the board of supervisors and will be
available when the citizens are ready
to start on the arrangements. An ap-
preparation of 5000 was allowed the
colored people of the county who held
