Letter From Rippon.

-R1PPoN, w. VA, Jan. IA, 1893
Dear Mr.. Haines "A few days ago 1 was in
town and must say that was startled at the
progress it seems to be making. First, Wis
tied the plant of the Electric Light Co.. and
found everything moving in an electrical
sphere. The handsome structure they were
lust completing 1 think q credit to Charles
Town. The lincmen were hanging wires in
all directions, and soon the streets of Charles
Town will be lighted up with the beautiful
mellow lights like those you see in Washing
ton, D. C. We came back then to the Rouss
Building, which will do Justice to this noble
patriot through centuries 10 come. We then
turn the corner and walk down Main street
and find customers SO clustered around the
doors of the up-to-date stores of Palmbaum,
Light, Bishop and Burns s. Shugert. that it
was difficult to get along the street. We then
went to the First National Bank, aud found
the ever faithful Mr.. Samuel Howell and Mr.,
Tearney at their posts and everything working
like clock work. We met old Bro Talbot on
the street, and from the way he was cutting
his tobacco we were satisfied that everything
was going o. X. We went on to Ed. Hughes
and found the street badly blocked with furni-
turc, and If he doesen't make an opening by
the time VIC visit town again, We will get old
Jake after him. Next we came to the two
story brick building recently erected by the
reliable Mr.. Beller for our enterprising friends,
Messrs. Kercheval and Bragg. Mr.Kercheval is
of the Advocate staff, and Is hustler. Next
We cross over to our old friend L, D. G., who
has erected three-story building, so large
that it has swallowed the well-known Rink
Building, which is now entombed in one of
the rooms of the new brick. Lewis don't
make much fuss, but he gets there just the
same. Now we come down to the old reliable
Bank of Charles Town, where we found the
Col. busy at his post. We were afrgid to at
tempt to crack joke with him as he looked
like it would not be safe, but the two young
fellows, Mayor Washington and MIR. John,
looked as If they would not mind mixing lit
tie fun with business. On the desk in the
bank is q pen wiper presented to Mayor Wash
ington by friend at the Worlds Fair. 1t is
the size of III. weight aud is a species of
California Cactus. 1t is curiosity. When
you go to the bank examine it. am off now
for the jail corner and expect to see sights as
go up this busy street, but will not have
time to describe them this time. By the way,
see Jim Skimperhorn got off some of his
smartness in your columns about me and it
made me wish that the editor of the Free
Press had gotten him during the recent cam
paign. would like to suy something about
the genial lawyers of your town, but will have
to defer it until another three weeks rain.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLIE GRAssHoPPER.
