The Stoekbridge Sun, uiifler the eaption, "We're For It." says: "We wish to speak a word for StoefcbTldge; uit one of her citizens is 'bucking agalsst the eleetrlc railway.' On the contrary, we are all anxious that, if this proposed railway is evei Imilt, -har we have it. Aiid when the timo comes l'or action, contribution and support, the LanSing, Dexier & Ann Aarbor wJll not lind tiiis lowii wanting in practical, sutbstautial, en.thusiasji if she places StocKbridge village on her line, We don't want Daiisville and White lak to think tli.it we ave :u any way opposing them in iheir desires for ihis needed outlet; neither wonld we have our good Plainfield friends beliive us imgenerous and unfair towards lier. Over in this corner of lnghatn eouftty we shall do what is fair, tionor.-fcble, just and generous to get this rond. and if we fa il we shall pocket om1 cliagrin with true biftiiness stoicism. Were we to have onr choice we v.ould wish to be eonnected with Danaville, llason and Lanslng, and contributions will bo laTgely influenc-d b.v whether such connections are made or not. In this connection we wish to say rhat our towaship com uittee met with the directora of the propos, -d line Tuesday evening, and the meeting was a pleasant afïair. Tlic eommittee, oí' coui-se, could nor attftmpi to giarantee eontributions, but apsured the dirpetors that In coming Lntó onr town they will be eórdialiy treatèd, and heartily elcomea; and wc believe that these gentlemen wül one and uil agree that in all their eonfereaces with our people they have been fairly treated. Once again we say no obstmctions will be placed in the way of llii road at this place. Sfockbridge people raised $30,QOO for tlie Grand Trunk, and gave tl. uu a Tree pass' thTWlgh the towaship beSides, and il' we do nut lly all to pic-ees in ecstaoy ':evy time we bear 'ie word 'railroad' utteredj it is b3:ause most of us know wh.-u i rneans."
