a syndicate consisting of four prom-

purchase of real estate in this village
The purchase consists of the old Cottage
Hotel lot, - by 100 feet on Main street
and Pleasant street, and but a few rods
from the station. This action is taken
not for profit, but to prevent its

and IN anticipation of its being
wanted for some public purpose in the

action Is qualification to our people who
have the future interest of our beautiful
village at heart.
