nusEsrAs- We are glad 70 say that our oity
continues to improve. New buildings
are still going up. The improvements
of Mr.. Diercks are neatly completed,
adding two new stories to our Main
street. The Lutheran Church is being
rebuilt. The Columbia Oil Mill Com
pany buildings will soon be completed.
The Columbia Tannery is rising from its
recent ashes, and other buildings, in
Guiding private residences, are growing
up. Our merchants have full stocks on
hand. Our workshops are busy. Soon
we hope to have new post Office and
Federal Court House. And again we
are led to suppose that the hardy Rhode
Islander may get to work on the Colum-
bin Canal. This is the way to develop
Columbia for white as we'll as black, and
it is better way by odds than that con-
cocted in the brains of the legislator who
would extend the city limits. We hope
that additional manufacturing estab-
lishments will DO established here, and
that the work of improvement will go
bravely on.
