' Norfolk, not over twenty-five miles.
The Alliance team will return Saturday noon. A large
', delegation of business men and others will meet them at the
! train and arrangements are being made to have the band
; lead the triumphal procession. A smoker will probably be
', given in the opera house Saturday night.
