The Nsws Item of this place ha:
again changed hands. Sheriff Ritter
has bought it and will enter the
journalistic profession. The name

Republican paper. Snyder County
has had a superabundance of Repub'

tend to him the hand of fraterna
courtesy.
In 1897, a branch of the Ameri

established in Sunbury, with Ovel
twenty members. Thecompany hat
one of the get-rich-quick schemes
working something along the build

company, after securing something
like 100000 from the people O
Sunbury, now seems to be another
of those swindling operations where
the investors get the experience ant
somebody else the cash.
