Greene County.

EDITOR CITIZEN-Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to tell my
friends in Butler Co., something about
old Greene CO." and its County Seat,
Waynesburg. Greene Co. as you all
know. is situated in the south western
corner of Pa. and Waynesburg is reach
ed by the p. & w. r. r. to Allegheny,
then from the Union station in Pitts
burg, by way of the Penn'a. lines to
Washington Pa, then the little narrow
gauge conveys you to Waynesburg.
This narrow gauge cannot be des-
cribed, because it makes so many short
curves you can't follow il. Once a GER
tain drummer, riding On the rear coach,
said that while they We're going around
one Of those curves he shook hands
with the engineer and gave him a chew
of tobacco.
l used TO think Butler Co. was very
hilly, but since have travelled more or
less over Greene l have come to the con
clusion that Our OLD county" is pretty
level Two or three weeks ago | went
with a man, who lives in Waynesburg.
out twelve miles to his farm, and
went up hill at least one fourth of a
mile long to his orchard, and looking
north l could see INTO Washington Co,
and south into West Virginia.
But do not think on account of it's
hills that it is not good county. far
from il, the soil is naturally very rich,
and sheep raising is very profitable
business and, as a rule, the farmers are
well to do class Of people. And be-
sides being productive the county is
very picturesque. especially along the
eastern side where the old Mononga-
hela wends its weary way.
Waynesburg is situated on the banks
Of Ten Mile creek, and has population
Of about $500. and is growing very
rapidly, this last summer about one
hundred new houses have been built, a
new tin mill. brick works and box fac
tory; laborers are at a premium, es-
pecially stone masons and carpenters.
A good carpenter has no trouble in get
ting 50 90 or 800 day. All Greene
Co, is free from saloons and has been
for over twenty years, and this is due
to the never ceasing efforts Of DR.. 3. 3.
Miller who was president of the col
lege there for over Al years. Rev. A.
T. Turner is now president of the col
lege ard seems to be the right mau in
the right place They have fine col
lege building, having an extreme
length Of 157 feet and depth of so feet,
and cost about 800, 900 ard in front of
the college building is very beautiful
park OF about % acres.

The Duty of Republicans.

Before another issue Of the CITIZEN
the Republicans Of this county will have
had the privilege Of exercising the right
Of franchise, and either Mr.. Mckinley,
or Mr.. Bryan will be elected TO the
highest office in the United States. Mr..
Mckinley has been severely tried dur
ing his term Of Office, and though he has
made few mistakes has always been
for America and Americans. No man
since the days Of Lincoln, has been con-
fronted with nch serious problems OF
government az he, and he and his advis-
ers have carefully guarded the interests
Of the American people.
What has Mr.. Bryan. and those as
sociated with him done, or what evil
dence have they given Of their capacity
to govern2 What warrant have we but
their own promises, that the men VINO
would constitute the next administra-
ton, ff the change be made are com
petent to perform the great and difficult
duties Of government What proof has
Mr.. Bryan eyer given Of capacity in
public affairs?
While ne has eloquently expounded
many theories, have any Of his theories
that have been put to the test proved to
be correct2
And in all his multitude Of speeches
there is nothing but disparagement for
everything that is done in our country.
Vote for Mckinley and continued
prosperity.
As for our local ticket, Mr.. Showalter
Ia a popular and able man and az we
fnay need every vote in Congress next
winter, no Republican should fail to
vote for him.
For State Senate and Assembly
Messrs Williams, Mates and Thompson
were nominated after bitter contest
But az no kick" was made at the Coun-
ty Convention, they are the undisputed
nominees Of the party, and entitled to
the full party vote II will be remem-
bered, also, that two years ago Quay's
adherents here kept in line and voted
for anti.Quay nominees. One good
turn deserves another and so-vote the
straight ticket.
