—George C. Cooper is making purchases of real estate in the village, having bought Mrs. Fisher's elegant cottage at the corner of Church and River Sts., and also adjoining property. It is rumored that Mr. Cooper will greatly improve and beautify his purchases, which will make a large tract in a very desirable part of the village, and it is also rumored that he will buy still other lots to make his own complete. Saranac Lake is already indebted to Mr. Cooper for many favors, and it is with pleasure that the citizens realize his intention of settling himself in a home of his own it. --M.E.
