NEW MARBLE SHoP.-We were in
errer when we stated that there was no
marble shop in Austin. We did not then
know that Mr.. D. L. McGrath, Mr.. J.
Van Deusen's late partner, had set up
business for himself; but he has, and We
are glad TO say il doing some very cred.
liable work. On Tuesday we made a
visit 10 Mr.. McGrath's shop, which is To-
Gated on the west side Of Franklin street,
across from Cranes lumber yard. AS
evidence that his work is appreciated :,
we need only refer to few Of the jobs
which he has about ready for delivery
First, J. F. Anterior, OF Colorado Springs,
COL, has ordered stone, costing $65,
to mark the graves of Jeduthan Harkin
and wife. The drapery and the clasped
hands on this stone are we'll cut, and
worthy Of special mention. II. 8. Smith
has ordered 4 very pretty shaft to mark
his mother'e grave. The ornamental work,
consisting of drapsry and a wresth Of
flowers, il we'll executed. This shaft will
cost $55. Third, a pretty stone Is being
finished up for J. G.. Warner, to mark
the grave of his little daughter who died
two or three years ago. Mr.. McGrath
has several other orders, and is prepar-
ed to execute all work entrusted to him,
in workmanlike manner.
Moscow M1LL.-Business called ~
to Moscow the other day, aud while
there we took occasion to examine the
new mill just put into operation by Smith
& Denly. It's substantial frame build
ing resting on Z solid stone foundation,
and contains the latest improved ma
chinery. Its reputation, Notwithstanding
the short time it has been in operation,
has extended over 4 wide scope Of coun.
try, and until the commencement of seed.
ing it has been over crowded with work,
50 Cauch 50 that customers have come for
miles and rema ined over night to get
their grists. The capacity of the power
has been found to be 50 much greater
than was anticipated that the owners
have commenced work on large add.
ton and will put in two more run of
stone between now and harvest. Mr..
the miller, evidently under
stands his business, and has given the
best Of satisfaction to his customers. A
mill in the hands of a square-dealing man
like A. F. DENLY is great convenience,
aud rs such is felt by the region around
Moscow.
Mr.. DENLY owns quite farm adjoining
the mill, and Is preparing 10 build 4 res
idencs there on one Of the handsomsst To-
cations in the county. The survey Of the
Austin s. Manka.o railway runs within
i've miles Of the mill, but it is hoped
that if built it will run by the mill, in
which case a fourishing village will
grow up there.-Albert Lea Standard.
