SUNBuRY, Aug. 2sth, 1865.
MeSsrs. Editors In your issue of the 22d inst
your correspondent, "Improvement," shows the way
how a Furnace may be built in Sunbury. find
from the talk through town, that the plan is very
we'll thought Of, and it appears that all that Is
wanted is to call public meeting, and have a com.
mttee appointed for the purpose of making effort
to raise the necessary amount of stock. Make the
shares low say fifty dollars and men of small means
will invest their savings in that way. From what |
have heard there several parties ready to take
hold to the amount of from to five thousand dol.
lars By all means keep the ball moving, and in
less than a year we will have Furnace.
Respectfully yours, FuRNAcs.
