ditiOn, left on the Van Raalte, with her

the re-lie-able editor of that paper knows
better what Capt. Ranville attempted to
do than he does himself. As to who has
done the lying about the matter, we are
willing to abide by the decision of the
readers Of the two papers, who can ascer-
tain from Capt. Ranville as to which
paper was correct.
Some of our business men bave been
talking up the subject of organizing an
electric light company in this village.
While nothing definite has been done in
the matter, several have expressed them

fed their willingness to take stock in
such an enterprise. 1t is thought ar
rangements could be made for power
upon such favorable terms that it would
largely lessen the expense of getting it
i'm successful operation. OneOf our cit
liens has offered to take $1.C)O stock
should company be organized. We
believe it would prove paying invest
mcnt, and this is the opinion of most Of
those who have been spoken to on the
subject.
