A NOBLE STRUCTURE.
A Business Block That Does Honor
to the state.

[ We are waiting until the final touch OF
Tie artists brush shall have been put upon
the Raynolds-McGee block to give our
| readers a full descriptive article concerning
it; but cannot refrain, just now, from
briefly noticing this fine structure, so near
ly completed, and reverting to the lessons
taught by its erection.
The building has proved very costly
one, yet the owners are proud they put so
much money in it, as its solidity, durabili-
ty and beauty amply repay all outlays. II
is of stone, two stories high, and comprises
Gus store room, suited to any line of bust
ness. The fronts for there are really two,
one ON Main, the other on Fourth streetsl
are built of handsome pink lava stone,
laid up in Broken Ashler" style. The
sills, caps, jams and arches of all openings,
capings, cornices, etc, are of Brandtford
stone, the color of which is much darker
than the walls, giving n striking contrast
The style of architecture is combination
of several styles, and at once unique and
beautifully
But, as we stated in the outset, il is not
our purpose in this arti lie to 20 into details
regarding this splendid work of art but to
point the lesson its building teaches those
who are constantly crying out "hard
times" and prophosying that Canon City
has seen her best days, and her future VIII
be marked by retrogradation and decay
When business men like Meszs. RAY
n"lds and McGce, shrewd and calculating
financiers, blessed with competency of
this worlds wealth, accumulated only
through the exercise of good Judgment,
and the iudicious investment of capital.
will erect in our city, ~ they have, a busi-
ness block, costing $4,000, it is time for
croakcrs TO cease their forebodings and 20
to work, like other men, and lend hand
toward enhancing property and advancing
the material interests and growth Of our
city.
All honor, say We, 10 Messrs. RavpolGs,
and McGee, and all others who cyince their
confidence Of the pcrmanency and eventual
prosperity of our city by the exercise Of
that wisdom, Judgment, enterprise and in-
vestment so necessary to the success of any
town. Let the acts Of the two gentlemen
first named inspire othcrs 10 like exertions
and by our additional patronage show such
public spirited men that tneir i..bors have
been appreciated.

The Death of Mrs. Felton.

Z. tits with heartfelt sorrow that we an
nounce the death of the wife of Judge w. b.
FELTON,, which occurred yesterday. Although
the deceased had been a resident of this
city but few years, she had endcared her.
self to all who knew her by her quiet, re-
tiring demeanor. Being one of those noble
women who devoted nearly her entire time
to her home and family, Mrs. FELTON, had, in
a measure, abandoned society and its friv-
olties, deriving her happiness from her
household and particular friends, who loved
and appreciated this estimable woman for
these commentaries traits. Mrs. FELTON,, al
though in delicate health for some time her
death was unexpected, and was terrible
shock to the devoted husband and children
We feel that we express the sentiment of
the entire community when we assure the
grief stricken family of the universal SYM
pathy which is felt for them. The funeral
will take place from the residence at 2 D..
IN. to-day, and will be largely attended, as
no man ever came to our city who has won
the estimation of our people more rapidly
than has the bereaved husband

A ROYAL RECEPTION.
How MIR. and Mrs. r. NJ. Harding were
Welcomed Home by their
Friends.

Mr.. L. NJ. Harding intended to surprise
his brother and friends by returning to
town with his bride unannounced but that
awful brother of his was not to be out-gen-
eraled in such a manner, so arranged with
friend at Pueblo to telegraph to Canon
when the party took the train for this
place. When Doden and wife and moth
er and sister arrived at the depot and en-
tered their carriage, little did they suspect
that the horses were not hitched up and
that long rope lay on the platform ready
to attach to the tongue of the vehicle.
The bridal party had no more than got
settled in their seats when the horses were
driven TO the stable and the rope manned
by about twenty-five of our business men
and hauled from the depot. Preceding
the carriage was the Cafion City Cornet
band seated in their band wagon, trying
their best to play the wedding march, but
rs the music in the other wagons out
sounded it, the sweet notes of Mendelsshon
could not be distinguished. In the rear of
the carriage containing the bridal party
was wagon holding half dozen musi-
clans who with tin horns, Dutch oven,
stove lids and various tin cans made a
noise that sounded like seven nail factories
and fourteen stamp mills. In the next
wagon was violin of ancient origin, made
out of a dry goods box the bow being no
more nor less than scantling. This
musical instrument is, fimiliarly known as
sion paraded up Main street to the Fre-
mont County Bank and countermarched
down again to the residence of the (un)
happy couple. As there was no safe way
of getting out of the carriage, the parties
upon whom the innocent joke was played
had to submit, which they did with good
grace, knowing that the demonstration was
simply a peculiar way their friends had of
showing their congratulations and esteem
