Sept 11, 1899.
DEAR Sik: As I am run out ot
a Snyder county paper for some
time and woidd like to he informed
alniirt the news of our former place
of living, I concluded to le a sulr-scriln-r
to your paper, to furnish it.
I am .-till in the lumber business,
am kept busy on account of rush
ing orders on car building and build
ing wharfs along the coast, for which
I have furnished 5 carloads oak logs
ranging in size from 'JO in. in di
ameter 12 feet longto 24 inches 24
feet lone;. Am cjettin -lit out here
here in a course of about a year
when 1 expect to open a tract in W.
Va.
Times are middling fair and pro
mising lor the future.
Your Friend,
('. R. Spangler.
Sentenced to Work on the
Road.
Judge Taylor, ot Washington
county, recently sentenced a numb
er of prisoners under the provisions
of an act passed at the last session of
the Legislature, permitting convict
labor on public roads. So far as is
known he is the first judge in Penn
sylvania to impose sentence under
this new law. The prisoners sen
tence! had all entered pleas of guilty
or nolle contendere to indictments
and business was disposed of in quick
order. It is probable no more male
prisoners from aslnngton county
will le sent to the Allegheny county
workhouse, as the act referred to al
lows comity prisoners to be put to
work eight hours per day except
Sundays and holidays and the law
rives preference to the improvement
of public thoroughfares, and roads
connecting directly with the county
seat must receive whatever benefits
arise in through the operation of the
law.
