AN ARTIST In BUTLER COUNTY
While taking a short trip mp Dry creek
on Monday we called at the residence
Mr.. Beck, who lives abont ten miles
northwest OF Augusta. We found
Mrs. Beck at her easel painting a
j beautiful landscape scene. She has
several fine paintings of her own de-
sign, and execution, which she intends
| to place on exhibition at the county
| fair. We were quite surprised to find

scenery. We hope she will meet with
the success her merit deserves.-Au-
