UP THE CREEK.
ORANGEyILLE.

A representative of the COLUMBIAN start
ed up the creek on Monday morning, on
business mingled with pleasure. No stop
was made until Orangeyille was reached,
and here we found that the existence OF
several cases of diphthera still cast gloom
upon the village Only few days ago
son Of Miles Williams fell victim to the
dread disease. He was young man of
about 10 years of age.
During our brief stay at Orangevllle, we
met II. b. Low who is extensively engaged
in the lumber business. Mr.. Lows wife
and ch ildren are sojourning for the present
with her parents at Saltwater, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. B. McIIenry. Mrs. Low, we are sorry
to learn, is suffering from an attack of
rheumatism. - .l
A call at the store of A. NJ Dewitt found
that gentleman busily engaged. He keeps
full line Of Dry Goods, Groceries, Hard
ware, &C., probably the largest assortment
In Orangeville, and is doing an excellent
trade.
q. p. Stiner has not been in business for
himself great while, but he has had long
experience in trade, and knows how to buy
goods to suit his customers, both as to
price and quality. He has general stock
of merchandise, and is doing his full share
of the business.
Whilst driving through Orangeville we
heard familiar sound and on investiga-
ton found it to be the bell of our towns
man j. S. Phillips, who was going the
rounds with his bread wagon. Phillips
makes good bread, and it is said that his
sales in Orangeville and intermediate points
are very large. He deserves the success he
is meeting with.
q But our time at Orangeville was limited
and we were obliged to press on to meet an
engagement at
SALTWATER.
Here we were Hospitality entertained at
the residence of c. b. McHenry, one of the
staunchest democrats and most reliable Cit
sens of Columbia county. 1t was our priv-
lege to ride through the west end of Fish
ingcreek township with Mr.. McHenry, and
through his influence large number Of
new subscribers was added to our list, all
square and substantial men. 1t is most en-
couraging and flattering to know that
wherever we go, the COLUMBIAN appears to
have the confidence of the people. 1t is a
recognized fact that this paper has always
been consistent in its course, has always
stood by the nominees when fairly nomina-
ted, and has never ground its personal axes
| in public. Hence 1t is not difficult to Sc
cure the support of all leading democrats.
In passing through Saltwater we observ-
en- the planning mill of t. H. Edgar hard at
work. Numerous hands are employed,
and all kinds of work that can be got out
| in such an establishment, are turned out
here in the best of style. Mr.. Edgar occu-
| pies handsome residence near his mill,
and personally superntends all work,
which insures satisfaction to purchasers.
His establishment is one of the leading in
dustries of this section.
| The saltwater merchants, j. f. McHen-
ry and Moses McHenry, have their spring
and summer goods on hand, and are busily
engaged in dealing them out TO their nu.
merous customers.
The new temperance house of Frank
Wolf is doing good trade, and all his pa.
irons speak highly of the manner in which
they are entertained.
