The STATE FAIR-SEoRETARY A1KEN's
CARD. We invite attention to the card
of the Secretary on the subject of our
next State Fair. It will be seen that
every newspaper in the State is request
ed to copy the notice. Let us further
request our contemporaries to bring be-
fore their readers the State Fair for No
vember 9th, 10th and 11th. We desire
to make it great success. Let us fly
high the flag of material development
and State reunion.
COLUMBIA. rapidity with which
our city is being rebuilt attracts univer-
sal attention and general admiration.
In February, 1865, all the buildings on
Main and several adjacent streets we're
entirely destroyed. During the five
years intervening the ruins havo nearly
oil been cleared away, and substantial
structures erected. Main street alone
can boast Of ITO brick stores-the ma
jority of them two and three story
buildings. Fully one thousand dwellings
have also been erected on other streets
many Of them really handsome resi-
dences; and the work is still going on
rapidly. In two or three years, if the
building mania continues, all the waste
places will be covered, and our healthy
city will rank in beauty and dimensions
with the first in the South.
