Cigar Factory May Leave Us.

Lafayette Call. A, Lewis of Rensselaer, a manufacturer of cigars, is in Lafayette this week to organize, if possible, a company for the purpose of establishing a large cigar factory in this city. Mr. Lewis is trying to secure about $12,000 worth of stock, and is willing to take one-third of that amount. It is his intention, if he is successful, to move the factory now owned by him in Rensselaer to this city, where he will have better railroad facilities.
