Note-We have known Mr. Ohappelfo
q number OF years aud it is no disparag-
ment to other men of ability in North
east Washington, neither is it any re-
Election on them to soy that he stands
out conspicuously as the ono mau
whose opinion is most frequently
sought and most highly valued.
He came to the Northeast section of
Washington in 1872 with $4,000
which he invested there and he has
resided in the same locality contin-
uouely ever since.
His faith in the section and its fu-
ture was strong in 1872, and it has
continued uninterruptedly ever since,
being to-day stronger than ever.
He has built more than one hundred
and twenty five and possibly Gs many
as one hundred and fifty houses in
the Northeast section, and they have
ell been we'll built, substantial struc-
lures that have found ready sale.
He is one of the largest if not the
largest holder Of real property in his
section, and man whose word no one
disputes.
He is a member Of tho Board of
Trade and an active member Of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
citation, besides being connected with
other organizations that make for
progress.
His success has not warped his
judgment, so that parties seeking his
advice can rely absolutely on what he
says. Suburban people who for any
cause desire to make change will
find in the reflections over Mr..
ChappePs signature much food for
thought and we commend them to our
readers. -[Editor Suburban Citizen ]
"BrIoIt" as a Term OF Endearment.
A correspondent talks to us seri-
ously of our genealogical error in de-
irving the term of endearment "brick"
from the "well red" undergraduate.
The real origin of the word, it seems,
is the proud reply of king to an in
vading enemy who mocked at his un-
walled towns. "My troops are my
wallis" he answered, "and every sol
