Mrs. VIM. T. Hays, who lives near this
city took the premium on bread two years
in succession at our fair, and she was In
duced to try at Kansas City where she also
carried of the highest honors. Few coun-
ties can furnish such housewives as old La
fayette. AS in this case they are accom-
plished in the culinary, as we'll as polite
arts. They know, not only how to make a
hungry, tired man comfortable, but they
have brains and education enough to know
how to beautify and embelish home by the
work OF their fingers, by their good counsel
and true affection.
