CEMETERY FUND
The Enterprise's cemetery

pose is to raise enough money to

shall be to care for the graves in
which those contributing are in-
terested and to put in the rest
of the time on the driveways,
walks, etc. And if each person
interested in the cemetry
would contribute $1.00 a month it
would give us an ample fund. If
you can't contribute money haul

your subscription.

Big Tent Show Coming
Burk's big "Uncle Tom's Cabin
Company will exhibit at Granite,
April 10.
This is the first time that the
public has had an opportunity of
seeing the "New Version" of
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," the great-
est dramatization of this popular
play ever written. Mrs. Stowe's
historical play has ever been a
favorite with the women and
children, and they always go to
see it whenever an opportunity
presents itself. Burk's "Uncle
Tom's Cabin C©" has the dis-
tinction of being the largest
organization of its kind on the
road, they carry a special train
of their own palace cars to trans-
port their people, horses, ponies,
donkeys, dogs, chariots and other
paraphenalia necessary to pre-
sent the only grand spectacular
production of this the most suc-
cessful drama ever written. The
characters of Uncle Tom, Eliza,
Little Eva and Marks are all ably
presented by a competent caste,
and the large contingent of sing-
ers and dancers, blood hounds,
etc., give a realistic and sensa-
tional naturalism to the perform-
ance. The scenic and mechanical
effects are good, and the pictur-
esque transformation scene forms
a fitting finish to the whole. So
carry the news and tell your
neighbors. The only big show
will exhibit at Granite, April 10.
