SHOOTING STARS.

Coed Times,

Good Times.
There are good times coming!
Though We miss the birds and bees,
There are echoes humming,
Christmas carols In the breeze.
There are bright stars beamins
In the heavens up above;
There are home lights cleaning
On the faces that we love.
AS the hours 90 straying.
We are talking cheer anew.
Wen be holidaying
Gayly, as we always do!

that Alexandria citizens should oppose
a plan. complimentary in its intention,
for q transfer Of its dignities.
