Visit to Columbia and it's Results.

them exceeding in beauty and uniformity
those of former days. But with all these
signs of activity, energy and enterprise,
the saddening sight of ugly gaps are
many, and will long remain monument
of shame to the perpetrators. Among
the things Of a pleasing character we
might aIlude to, was an hour spent at
Nickerson's, with Hamilton ofthat House,
and the witty and gcntlemanly reporter,
Mr.. Sparnock, of the Charleston Courier,
and another hour at Mrs Speck's, known
as the SILVER House, at both of which
places, eloquence, elegance and plenty,
prevailed to a degree unsual to poor up
country editors, but we cannot dwell
upon this or other pleasures, sights or
scenes; our principal business was with
the enterprising, liberal merchants Of
Columbia, and owing altogether to the
Aattering notices Of Mr.. DeFontainc Of
the Carolinian, and Mr.. Selby of the
Fonix, who made mention of the distin-
guished arrival of our important self in
that city, and our business, the repre-
sentative of the Herald was largely re-
ccived, as the several notices of cards
found appended will show. We were
glad to note the prosperous condition of
the Carolinian and Phoenix, the liberality
with which they are patronized shows a
just appreciation Of these two excellent
papers. Mr. Selby has just removed to
his large + zee story building on Main
street, which for admirable inside arrange
ment in all business details, is gratifying
to a printers eye. His energy and
perseverance under difficulties, show
him to be possessed Of the stuff that men
are sometimes made of. But to our
friends the merchants:
CT. JAcksoN-This gentleman has
but lately taken possession ola commo-
dious building on Main Street, and shows
to advantage stock Of dry goods, staple
and fancy goods, which would raviSh the
up-couutry eye in pOin: of elegance and
beauty. 4 'ew purchases made there
showed that the prices of his goods were
by TO means out Of the reach Of persons
of limited pecuniary advantages.
R. ". c. SwAFFIELD.-We know
not where we can better recommend
gentlemen in need of outfits than to
this old and well known clothing house.
On looking over the stock we were struck
with the variety of styles and the tasty
display. Visitors to the city would do
we'll to call on them and examine before
purchasing elsewhere.
MAy. J. ME1GuAH-In the boot and
shoe line, occupies convenient and at
tractive location. His acquaintance IS
so extensive, and his information in this
branch of business so we'll known, that
we deem it only necessary to inform his
friends that he can be found on Main
street, opposite the beautiful China Hall
of our old friend Capt. Stanly.
NJ. A. SuELToN-Almost Immediately
opposite, has Just opened an elegant as
sortment of boots and shoes, and but
that we fear giving offence to the Major,
and getting up difficulty between the
gentlemen, and thereby lose future ad-
Terti<emcnt, we would say the same of
him as the other.
J. C. D1AL-The Hardware man, is
absolutely surrounded, piled up, with
hardware of every pattern, use and kind.
Front store, back store and cellar cover
ing over two hundred feet. Two hun
dred feet Of hardware to select from is an
inducement to country purchasers, sell
dom offered, and we predict speedy yis-
its.
S. T. MCCAUGHR1N & Coin the Gro
Gerry and Commission business appeal IN
| the first to the softer senses, and ill you
with good things ad infnitum. As com.
mission merchants too we recommend
them to the favorable notice of the pub
| lie.
P.B. GLAss-The book and stationery
man, is the occupant of the coSicSt and
showicst room ever seen, and bis display
is alike hattering to his taste and pleas
ing to the eve of visitors. We rcmcm-
! ber Peter B. since his boyhood, and
would like to say something tlattering,
but that he might think hard Of it, and
will only remark that he's gentle and
| he's kind, and his like you'll no where
find, elsewhere.
E. F. JACEsoN.-We we're pleased to
! find this old friend so we'll fixed and
driving fine business in Drugs, Medi-
cincs, Pcrfumery, &C., but not surprised
at his popularity. Affab!e, kind and at
tentive with his qualifications as Drug
gist, no wonder he has worked himself
into public favor.
Mrs. C. E. REED-In the millinery and
fancy line claims large share Of attcn-
ton. Her business qualifications and
long acquaintance in this branch gives
her peculiar advantages. Her stock is
full and complete, embracing everything
that ladies usually require. Visit her
establishment on Main street.
E. R. SToKEs-Announces his re, estab-
| lishment in the Book binding business,
after icing Shermanized, and isnow better
prepared than before to execute work in
his line, having the latest improved ma
chimes and the best Of material. We can
7ouch for the truth Of this, having had
the satisfaction ofaa ocular examination.
It's . fact worthy the attention Of al!
persons wanting blank books made, OF
any kind ofwork done in this line to send
their orders direct to him, as thereby
