A Work of Art

There are great many pretty
things in Floral Hall, but there is one
piece that attracts more attention
than all the others: And that Is an
agricultural wreath, made by Mrs. j,
M. Wilmington, of Usage township.
The wreath was on exhibition for IA
few days last week at Evaus Bros.
drug store and was greatly admired
by all who saw 1t there. 1t would
take column to describe it, and then
the reader would have but a faint
idea of the ingenuity, the patience
and the real artistic skill required to
produce 1t. Every field product OF
Kansas is represented in the wreath,
and represented in the prettiest way.
Mrs. Wilmington may we'll be proud
of the trump she has achieved.
