This is the work of our Industrial -rim-ni., mr?. j. \y. nawmorne. sue hsi? planted these lilies along the side walk from her home to within a short distance of the S. A. I.#. depot. She does not seem to think she has done "very much towards beautifying her town, and is constantly planning something she can do to make a record for herself. Mrs. Hawthorne is a very quiet. unassuming lady, but she . and her good husband have taken so much interest In the industrial work being done on the S. A. U., that neither of them have missed a single meeting of the industrial Agents, and although they are backward in saying what, tliey have accomplished, yet they, with other Industrial Agents, have done a great deal to assist in making a record for the S. A. that has caused it to be known all over the country as the most progressive rail road line in the way of development and beautifying its territory.
