During .the past winter months
Nathaniel Gleason, the painter aud
old war veteran, has been whiling
away his time making a parlor table
which for artistic beauty, finish, pro
lortion, design and exact work, can't
ie equaled in the big stores of the
cities. It is inlaid work of exacting
design, constructed of walnut, oak
and mahogany. In his younger days
Mr. Gleason was an expert in this
line, and, as he is now beyond his
65th year, this is his last piece of
work and it is a grand triumph. If
you admire art work don't miss see
ing this tables you cannot buy it, it
is a present for his daughter-in-law
at Minneapolis.

Hoover. The building is also to be
painted outside and the inside paper
ed and painted and this work has
been let to Joe Dixon and Harry
