NOT A HOUSE
CAN BE RENTED
MERCHANT cANVASSED CITY AND
COULD FIND NO STAND SUIT
ABLE FOR HIS PURPOSE.

Not a first class business house in
Columbia for rent. This was the as
tonishing discovery of a gentleman
who this morning canvassed the city
with a view of renting a stand and
establishing a business here. He
called on every real estate man in
town, and personally looked over the
few houses that could be leased, and
there was nothing doing in the kind
of place which he wanted.
This indication Of prosperity is but
an index to the prosperous condition
