Jan. 20.—Special: Thought «I frould write a few lines to let you and your readers know that the lit tle town of Ruffin, commonly known as “The Town of Don’t Worry,” still o exists and is in a prosperous, thriv ing and healthy condition. There has been considerable grippe here since the Chrisimas holidays, but some of us boys are about half way persuaded to believe that had John Barley Corn and Peter Rye. two of our Christmas Visitors. Stayed within our midst, this ureaded die-s. ease would h**ve been greatly elimin ated. Of course this only our the ory which is not backed by iaw books, doctor books, or Bibles. You know boys will be boys and boys generally have their*\o»n opiinrus about things and do not consult high er authority than their o.m, opinions j when they draw com iui iosn, heme this conclusion.

We have Just realized a much need ed and long felt neeest-uy, our bank under the name of The Bank of Ruf fin, opened its doors tor business on the 16th with eleven thousand, five hundred dollars paid in. Its officers and directors are men wao have been rery successful in theif different vo cations of life. Its cashier is a young Colorado man who has been in the banking business for :our years, his greatest ambition seems to be, to see that bis duties as cashier are per formed to the letter. With such men bahlnd it and. with its brilliant be ginning. goes a great way in predict- 'f tag a successful future for this in stitution. One of Uncle Sam’s route inspect ors was up here today investigating the proposed new R. P. D. route, which if put in will be No. 3. We hope that he will be able to report favorably.
