NEW BRooKLAND.
A Prosperous and Enterprising
Town.

Ill PS"ootAS oAAOuSH -NC" oiOoA-
land the other day, we caught view
of this progressive and thriving little
town, and give our readers this
birds eye view of it:
New Brookland presents a city
like appearance, and unless Columbia
gets move on her, she will be left
behind in the race of progress by
her sister town on this side of the
Congaree.
Miss L. Wessinger of Columbia
is erecting a nice brick store house,
which, when completed, will en-
hance the looks of the town.
Mr.. A. d. Shull, has recently
erected large and commodious store
house in the fork of the roads, which
he has filled to its utmost capacity
| with a awell selected stock of groceries,
furniture and crockeryware, and
will sell at prices which will as
tonish purchasers at the lowness Of
their price
Drs. Kendall & Robb have beauti-
fully fitted up a drug store and will
open up at an early date with a full,
complete and nice line of drugs
medicines, toilet and fancy articles.
These are enterprising gentlemen
and we risk nothing in predicting
for them a bright and successful
business career.
Mr.. Hamp Caughman is meeting
with deserved success with his chair
factory, and as he turns out chairs
which equals, if not surpasses, those
put up by Northern factories in style,
finish and prices, he is being we'll
patronized.
Shull & Shull deal largely in gen
eral merchandise and have a large
store filled with the choicest goods
in their line, and if we are to Judge
from the customers which throng
their place Of business, we would
say that they do the business of the
place. They are clever accommoda-
ting and thorough going business
men. They have adopted principles
which are bound to lead on to sue
cess and fortune.
DR.. j. ". Sandel has moved his
Office to this town, and will respond
to all calls of sickness with prompt
ness and will bring to his aid a
thorough knowledge of the science
of medicine in the alienation of pain
and relieving suffering humanity.
Mr. George Lybrand has a first
class blacksmith and wheelwright
shop, and as he is master of his trade,
be turns out such work as we'll win
the admiration Of patrons and bring
him new customers.
T. E. Summers knows how to run
a grocery store, and hence we were
not surprised to find on his shelves
the best and cheapest lines of canned
goods, pickles and other condiments
needed by the housewife, aswell as
full and complete line of groceries.
There is no need for the Brookland-
ties to go hungry when Summers is
about
Several of the factory houses are
now occupied by operatives in the
mill and other families are now NOV
ing in, and all of them will soon be
occupied.
In the past few weeks we have
heard several business men speak of
going there to engage in business
and the probability is that they will
do SO.
New Brookland certainly has a
bright future before it. Being stu
ated on the west banks of the Con-
garee, on a high elevation, with natu-
raj drainage, its healthfulness is pro-
verbal, and many will doubtless be
led to locate there for this reason.
A judicious and liberal use of prin-
ters ink will help the business men,
and more rapidlyGuild up the town.
