Now for Chicago.
All eyes are now direeted towards
tie Republican National Convention,
now assembled in Chicago. To Re
publicans the country over its proceed,
ings will be of the utmost importance.
The paramount question, of course, is
the nomination it makes for President.
The Republican people of the country
generally have spoken and indicated
the man they desire to be placed in
nomination, and the question now is,
will the people's choice be given them ?
Or will the office holders' choice be
taken? James G. Blaine and Chester
A. Arthur will be the two foremost
names before the Convention, and, at
this writing, it looks as if one of them
will be chosen. How can the Conven
tion hesitate in deciding between them?
The nomination of Blaine means suc
cess. The nomination of Arthur
means defeat. The people of this
country will never elect a man to the
Presidency who as Vice President first
came into that high office through the
bullet of an assassin, who publicly pro
claimed at the time he fired the fatal
shot what its purpose and effect would
be—"This makeß Arthur President,"
he boldly declared. No argument, of
any kind, can wipe this out, or recon
cile the people to continuing in office a
man who came into power in that man
ner. And we cannot believe it will be
done. If there are any reasons suf
ficient for the setting aside of Mr.
Blaine, then let another be chosen.
The Republican party contains other
and good men who will make accept
able standard bearers. Let one of them
be taken, and the party will go into the
contest with heart and hope of success.
At least without a mill-stone weight
upon it from the very start. This
week's work at Chicago will determine
its fate. The nomination will likely
not be made before the latter part of
the week.
Armstrong County.
The Republican primaries of Arm
strong county last week resulted in the
nomination of G. S. Crosby, Esq., edi
tor of the Free Press, for Congress;
W. B. Meredith, Esq., for the State
Senate, and A. D. Glenn and K. Daugh
erty for the Assembly.
Mr. Crosby formerly resided at Par
ker and is very favorably known to
many of our citizens. ' lie would make
an active and faithful member of Con
gress and we hope he may be nomin
ated in that district.
Mr. Meredith, who is presented for
the Senate, was the nominee of the Re
publicans of Armstrong county for that
position four years ago. The rights of
that county to the nomination were
then conceded, but, through the influ
ence of Don Cameron's then State
Committee, the question as to which
county should hare the candidate was
referred to that body, and resulted in
the nomination of Mr. Greer of this
county, who was then faithfully serv
ing Cameron.
"ARTHUR has made a good Presi
dent," his supporters say. But in
what ? lie has simply been a negative
President so far. That is, he has done
nothing; had no policy of any kind,
foreign or at home. Two hundred
thousand majority against his ticket in
New York probably taught him to be
prudent and careful, and this is what
his supporters now say has made him
a good President.
JAS. CAMPBELL, Esy , of Greenville,
Pa., made our town a business visit on
Monday last, and as usual pave our of-
fice a call
THE Chicago Tribune prints the
names of all the delegates to the Re
publican National Convention, with
their Presidential preferences It gives
Blaine 378 votes, Arthur 271 and Ed
munds 70 on first ballot.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN will be nominat
ed by the Democrats for President, "if
his health permits " But if Blaine is
nominated bv the Republicans this
week Mr. Tilden's health will be so
bad by July, when the Democratic
Convention meets, as not to permit him
to run.
The Frosts of Last Week
We have made sufficient inquiries to
enable us to say, that in this county
the frosts of last week have done but
little damage. The grain is not hurt
except perhaps of some early rye
that was in blossom. The fruit is
is thought to be but little injured. Po
tatoes and corn were so little hurt as not
to amount to anything serious. Some
plants were injured but none that
cannot be replaced. Thursday night
was the coldest but the weather being
cloudy saved from harm. Many feared
a frost like that of 1859, and all re
joice that none such came. North
of us in this State, however, the frosts
seem to have been much more severe.
Lawrence County
The Republican primaries of Law
rence came off last Saturday and the
County Convention on Monday last.
The result, on casting up the votes,
showed A. L. Ilazen, Esq., the choice
of that county for Judge, over Col. R.
B. McComb and J. M. Martin, p]sq.
Col. O. L. Jackson was nominated
for Congress. The district is Lawrence,
Beaver and Washington counties.
Col Jackson was presented by the Re
publicans of Lawrence county two
years ago, but was unsuccessful. In
view of the large Republican majority
given by Lawrence county it would at
this distance loek as very unsafe to again
set her candidate aside, if she has the
right to the nomination now claimed.
For the Legislature, Henry C. Falls,
Esq., and I)r Silas Stevenson, were
nominated.
What the Democrats are Doing.
The Democratic primaries of this
county take place on Saturday week,
June 14, and their County Convention
on the following Monday. They still
nominate by what is called the "Dele
gate system," sendirg two delegates
from each district to a County Conven
tion. These delegates, however, we
believe they now generally instruct as
to candidates, and if so it is a great im
provement on the system, as it approxi
mates the popular vote one. There is
still room, however, under their sys
tem for more or less of what is known
as "log-rolling," or combinations being
made in the conventions of delegates,
which cannot arise under the popular
vote plan. It requires a majority of a
convention, however, to make a nomin
ation.
Their candidates for the principal
offices so far as announced are : For
Judge, Hon. James Bredin, Leving
ston McQuistion, Esq., and Lewis Z.
Mitchell, Esq.; Hon. Jacob Ziegler of
the Herald for Assembly; Harrison
Dyke, John C. Martin, W. I>. Walker,
James Collins, John C. Kelly, James
R. Pringle, Esq , Jacob Reott and
Hugh McFadden for County Commis
sioners; John W. Brown and J. G.
Cornelius for Prothonotary; for Sheriff,
F. C. Buhl, Eli Graham, A. I). Vande*
ling and D. M. Ward; for Register and
Recorder. W. J.McCarnes, William B.
Bedillion and Alfred Aggas; for Coun
ty Treasurer, Robert McElhaney, Esq.
and Robert McKissick; for CouDty
Auditors, James L. Hindman, W. S.
Sipes, Andrew J. Harper, J. B. Steph
enson, J. B. McDivittand H. 11. Ader
hold.
Under their call fur the election of
delegates we notice they recognize the
law requiring the officers holding the
primaries to be sworn,
There is not much stir manifested
among tbcm as yet as to the choice of
candidates. We understand, however,
the contest for the Judge nomination
will be a warmly contested one.
CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Assembled Yesterday.
The Republican National Conven
tion assembled in Chicago yesterday,
June 3. Many of the delegates from
the different States have been on the
ground for some days past. The ex
citement runs high, as to the nominee
for President. But Blaine still leads
all rivals and his friends are confident.
The Pennsylvania delegates are all
present and stand 4.'} lor Blaine to It
for Arthur. Senator John Stewart is
Chairman of the Pennsylvania delega
tion and will present Blaine's name
to the Convention, on behalf of the
delegation. B. F. Jones of Pittsburg,
has been selected as the member of tho
National Committee for Pennsylvania,
beating Chris Magee. Hon. (Jalusha
A. Grow may be the permanent Chair
man of the Convention. Hon. Powell
C. Clayton, of Arkansas, a Blaine man,
has ltcen named by the National Com
mittee for temporary Chairman. The
daily proceedings will be looked for
with much interest.

which due notice will be given.

COMMUNICATED.
Letter from Alabama
PICKENS VILLE, ALA , MAY 24, 1884,
EDS. CITIZEN: Thinking that a
short letter from this part of the coun
try would probably be interesting to
some of your readers, I will try to
give some information which might be
of some value to those who are contem
plating' a change of base. This seems
to be a very healthy place; very little
sickness of any kind. The climate de
lightful; warm enough to make thiugs
grow, with a breeze blowing from the
gulf that makes one feel good.
Land is certainly very cheap,
farms where every foot could be work
ed selling from $2 to £2O per acre.
Laod within a mile of the Pickens coun
ty Court House, can be bought for
from $5 to $lO per acre, which within
ten years will be worth SSO per acre.
A railroad is being built which is ex
pected to run through the town. They
can raise anything here that we can in
Pennsylvania, besides a great man}'
things that we cannot. Rice produces
from 80 to 150 bushels per acre, corn
from 30 to 70 bushels (shelled; per
acre. Two crops of Irish potatoes can
be raised in one year. Oats can be
harvested and the ground plowed and
planted in corn and make a crop.
Mellons of all kinds, pumpkins, apples,
peaches, pears, and all kinds of small
fruits grow in abundance. Good and
pure water in abundance. The people
kind and generous to a fault. In poli
tics I can express my views as plainly
as anywhere in the North. The great
need of the South is men who are not
afraid to work. Mechanics, farmers
and merchants, (no lawyers or doctors
need apply) will be welcomed in anv
community in this part of Alabama.
The people here give their whole atten
tion to cotton and do not try to raise
any grain. There is not a thresher in
this county, although I saw one piece
of rve as nice as I ever saw anywhere,
and there is some very good wheat.
Now is the time to invest in Ileal
Estate before the railroad is built to
batter the shipping facilities. 1 expect
to make this my future home but expect
to return to Pennsylvania next week.
S. A. ANDERSON.
Tryon Mountains, North Caroli
na, and the Valley of the
Pacalet.
FUR THE CITIZEN :
Few Northern tourists know much
about the mountain districts of Western
North Carolina, and believing that a
good many readers of the CITIZEN
would be glad to see a letter from one
whose experience has been somewhat
general and varied in this locality, will
be my present object in writing.
I have both heard and read a good
deal of the noted 'Thermal Belt' without
getting fully satisfied on information,
so I concluded the better way to get
at it was to go for it, whether at the
bottom of a mine or at the top of a
mountain.
One bright morning in the latter part
of March, just as the peach trees were
coming out in full bloom, two doctors
and myself mounted our mules and as
cended the rugged mountains to gather
the practical demonstrations. The
task grew somewhat, arduous, for the
summer sun had already become quite
hot, but we pressed on believing that
"where there is a will there is a
way" until we reached an open table
land where we called a halt, refreshing
our exhausted energies w'th some of
the delicious native wine of that coun
try, there taking in a broad view of the
grandest mountain scenery.
This wonderful "belt" is about one
half mile in width and twenty in
length and is situated in latitude 25°
traversing the Southern exposure of
Tryon mountain and is about two
thousaud feet above sea level-
The temperature rises about 10° in
an elevation of one thousand feet and
is covered with a rich arable soil capa
ble of raising the fiuest varieties of all
kinds of fruits and is entirely free
from frost, the peach and wild grape
are a never failing crop, from which
native wines of the finest flavor can be
made in abundance.
As an evidence of the magic growth
of fruit, is the unusual short time of
maturing. On the first day of April
peaches are in full bloom and are frequent
ly ripened ready for the market on the
twenty-fifth'of May, and on the twenty
fifth of April I ate ripe strawberries
that were just twenty-five days from
the time they were in blossom until
they were ripened for the market.
But one most remarkable fruit pro
duceJ, as an indication of its thermal
character, is the fig, which though not
of the earliest variety, yet thev can be
perfectly ripened and matured.
All over this mountain region it is
thickly covered with valuable timber,
black walnut, chestnut, locust, ash,
hickory, oak, pine, &c. f which grow to
a large size and can be made profitable
for lumbering, and underneath the sur
fice in many parts it contains rich de
posits of "free gold".
From its embryo state and the rich
deposit 3 of iron ore, gold, tin, mica, &c.
that lie latent in the bowels oftheearth.
it is safe to eay there is yet a future
for this section of which there is so
little known.
Thousands of acres that have never
heard the sound of the woodman's axe,
invite the energies of our crowded
towns and cities, and come within the
reach of the most limited means; can be
bought from two to ten dollars per
acre.
The "belt" appears to girdle all the
mountains knowu as the Tryon Moun
tain Range at about the same height
und width above the Pacalet river and
the soil is most productive where it has
the fairest southern expofcura.
I am told that when there is snow in
the valleys a foot deep and masses on
the mountains it is barely perceptible
in the belt and that a light snow melts
there as fast as it falls while the ground
below is entirely covered, thus proving
the "thermal" is &11 in the soil and lay
of the land.
It is still a question what crops eaa
be most profitably grown in this region,
but it would seem as though nature
had especially adapted it to the growth
jl.nd maturing of nearly all kinds of
fruiU, some of which are as fine as I
have ever seen oa wide of the
Rocky Mountains.
Indian corn is the universal grain
crop, though wheat and clover are
grown and little land besides the valleys
has been cleared for cultivation; and in
some of them cotton and tobatco were
largely grown "before the change in
their system of labor."
But the grandest and best use of this
I "belt" is its health privinpr tonic to the '
! sick ami suffering. Its pure mountain
I air of uniform and equable temperature j
! secures to all yet iu the early stages of
disease good health.
Here the diseases of the lower lands, j
fevers and agues, are not known in |
' tLis section.
A pure case of pulmonary consump
tion has not been known in the iinnie
; diate Piedmont region of Western North
i Carolina.
There may be much surprise express
ed by those who read of this that a
land or place so near and so highly
favored as this should escape public at
tention. This is no new discovery
These conditions were fully stated
many years ago and again of more re
cent date in some of the Medical Re
ports. Hut want of easy access, to
come and see, shut out this choseu spot
from the public eye and hindered the
few who had heard of it from making
proof of its advantages. Now they
have the Spartansburg & Ashvi'.le R.
R., affording an opportunity to the
weakest invalids to prove for themsel
ves the realities of the climate. To
reach this health giving spot go to
Tryon Station where you will be met by
tbe hospitable face of Dr. McAboy.

GBEAT REDUCTION IN PRICES OF BOOTS AND SHOES
T
JOHN BIGKEL'S, BUTLER, PA.
Having bought an unusually lartre stock of Roots and Shoes when East last February, I find an extra effort must
be made to push them, on account ol the lateness of the Spring. I therefore annoume to the readers of the Citizen
that 1 will have a
IMCH "SACRIFICE SALE i
OF BOOTS AJNTD SIIOTT.S
For 00 days, to reduce my spring stock. Most dealers wait till their customers have bought their spring wear then
they reduce their prices, but I propose to CUT THE PRICES WHEN YOU NEED GOODS. Mv stock this
spring is much larger than ever before, and prices very low. I aui positive that I can save you 25 per cent, on vour
Roots and Shoes, and give you better goods than any other house iu Rn»l> r
I NFAN WHAT I SAY WEEN I TEIL YOU THAT I WILL SELL
A Solid Kip, Hand-Mads Plcw Slice, Two Buckles, at 93 Cents.
We do not advertise anything we have not got, and when customers nsk for them tell them that we "are just out."
This kind of business won't do me. It may do with my competitors who are hungry for trade and will stop at noth
ng for a little spcil. Ccu.e nud a e nte, and you will find things just as advertised,
6388, BMW BMB US SIB il fffl 101 PDiCiS.
My stock ol Ladies', Misses'and Children's Snccs is very nice this spring and prices lower than ever before No
old shop-worn get (is in my stock that bet- lit n handled ten or twelve years, and put up in fancy boxes to palm off on
the public as fresh, new ftccds. My stock is all fresh and new, as all goods are made to my own order, and every
pair warranted. My stock oi
Boots and Shoes for Men and Boys.
Was never better, as I control some of the best lines of goods iu the country. Give me a call when in need of Roots
or Shoes and I will sayeyou big money. A tub line of
English Waukenphaust Shoes,
For both ladies' and Gentlemen's wear. Try a pair for solid comfort. Rase Rail Shoes for men and boys.
BOOTS AND SHOES MADE TO ORDER.
My manufacturing department is uuder my own charge, and none but first-class workmen employed.
