A Splendid Production.

The small number who witnessed
the play 1.-THE Great John Canton"
at the Grand last evening, saw a
much better performance than they
anticipated. In fact, It was a splen-
did production throughout, and had
it been known that the play would
be so we'll presented, the house
would have been filled. 1t is worthy
place alongside the other high class
attractions of the season. The char
acter of John Canton gave opportun-
ity for a wide range of interpreta-
ton, and each member of the COM
pany carried his or her part we'll.
Not the least pleasing portion of
the evenings entertainment was the
Grand opera house orchestra, and
they never played better. This was
evidenced by the repeated applause
that followed their selections. The
orchestra is now composed of we'll
balanced Instrumentation of accom-
lished musicians, and Director B. O..
Marsh's selections of music for the
evening was particularly pleasing
Our orchestra will compare very fav-
Orable with the orche stras of the
leading theatres of the country,
which are open every evening.

DEVELOPING LARGE INDUSTRY
DEBORAH Granite Works Purchase
Corner Property and Will Build
Modern Plant. Business
Rapidly Increasing.

One of the business enterprises of
DEBORAH which has shown remark
able development and expansion
within the past year or two is the
DEBORAH Granite Works, Messrs. Cox
& Price, proprietors. Since they Sc
cured control of the business it has
steadily grown until now it has as
sumed large proportions and their
trade has been extended over wide
stretch of territory, and is increasing
monthly. The building on the cor
ner of Washington and Broadway
has long since been too small for
their needs, and their monuments
have been crowded onto the street
about both this and the opposite cor
ners. They have been working nine
men steadily for some time, and next
year expect to increase their capacity
and output very materially.
With this in view. they recently
purchased the corner property di-
rectly opposite their present location
belonging to Frank Lloyd, and here
they expect in the spring to erect q
complete, modern marble works es-
Enlistment. The lot is 65x10o
feet, and they will put up a fine
brick structure, fitted with all mod.
ern appliances and conveniences.
large travelling crane will quickly
and easily transport the huge blocks
of marble to and fro within the
building, and load them for ship
ping, and a workshop with ample
facilities for the rapid working of ar
increased force of men will be found
within the building. These and other
contemplated improvements will en-
able them to increase their business
even more rapidly than in the past.
Messrs. Cox & Price are hustlers
they are making success of the
monument business, and Decorahians
generally will be glad to learn OF
their plans for larger Industrial
institution, and will wish them every
possible success in their undertake
ing.
