7. B, Built At Once!
Enterprising Citizens who have
placed their names on the
ROLL OF HONOR

There have been various rumors
afoat of late, that the new glass facto-
ry project had collapsed, and the story
spread and was enlarged upon, until
not few believed it. The facts are,
that no idea of abandoning the enter
prise was ever contemplated by the
Company The simple fact that lit
tie time was necessary to secure the
amount promised on behalf of our
citizens, is alone responsible for the
rumor.
Monday, J. S. Smith and Col. o. G.
Risdon started out to solicit funds, and
up to noon today, have met with very
gratifying success. The Company
only ask that $1,000 be raised before
they build, and the amount is SO near
ly subscribed, that the matter may be
considered settled beyond any doubt,
and work will be commenced next
week, if not sooner, as at meeting
last Friday, with the Board of I'M
provements, the Company engaged to
begin work on the buildings as soon
as the $1,000 was raised, stipulating to
employ 100 men for three years.

residence place. We quite agree with D. NJ.
Clewell in remarks recently made by him con-
eerning its desiEability and reputation in this
respect. Mr.. Clewell is gentleman of extern
sive travel and keen observation. and his
verdict ON the comparative merits of localities
and towns is valuable for the reason given.
His remarks were timely and true. He said
that of all the towns he ever visited in Northern
Ohio none are better calculated for q !" city of
homes +" than Ravenna, and very few possess its
attractions, He cited numerous instances
where circumstances had necessitated the de-
parture of certain of its residents for homes in
other places, and without an exception the
change was made unwhlingly and in many
cases the parties have returned as soon as their
affairs permitted OF their doing SO. He also
spoke of the reputation Ravenna enjoyed
abroad in this particular, evidenced by the
many compliments heard by him in the course
of his travels.

water of Crystal Lake, we have a telephone ex-
change. and, in short, possess all the conyen-

acting. These facts should be borne in mind

people as the natural advantages of the place
