LOCAL MERCHANTS
ENJOYED A YEAR OF
GREAT PROSPERITY
BUSINESS DURING 1909 HAS BEEN
UP TO FoNDEsT ExPEc-
TATIoNs.
HOLIDAY TRADE VAS VERY GOOD
Every One is Optimistic over The
Prospects for ts1o-AIl Lines Of
Industry Expected to Flourish Dur
ing Coming Twelve Months.

| Columbia merchants have enjoyed a
year of unusual prosperity. All lines
Of the trade have been good. Business
Tor the past year will be largely in
excess OF that Of last year or the year
hcfore and some merchants declare
that their volume OF trade will even be
better than it was in 1906 before the
panic, which is generally regarded as
high water mark in the commercial
history of this city and county. There
is little complaint, and those who are
not enthusiastic are at least satisfied
with the business that they have Sc
cured for the twelve months Just
ended.
The holiday trade has been excep-
tionally good. On the whole it is
probably the best December business
that the merchants Of the city have
ever enjoyed. But for the unfavora-
BILE weather just before Christmas that
unquestionably kept many country
shoppers at home thousands of dollars
would have been added to the total.
The warm weather of November and
the first part of December also had
a depressing effect upon some lines of
trade, but despite all these obstacles
several of the leading merchants de-
clare that their business for the
months Of November and December |
was as good as they ever had A few
report better trade for those months
than they have ever known
People bought more freely and a |
better quality of Christmas goods this
year than ever before The day for
the cheap and shoddy article for the
holidays is rapidly passing. The farm
ers have plenty of money and they
insist upon the best. Merchants no
longer keep a certain line of cheap
goods for the country trade" as was
the custom only a few years ago when
an ordinary mule was not worth as
much as half dozen turkeys are at
his time.
Every one is optimistic regarding
he outlook for business during the
coming year Said one of the leading !
business men OF the county, who is
n close touch with it's commercial,
and industrial interests: 81 I
expect 1910 to be the most
that the people of this
county have ever known. There IL ,
,oing to be big revival in the phos-
hate industry that will turn lose hun
reds of thousands of dollars that has
een tied up since the panic. Farm
rs products are going to be as high
r higher than they have been this /
ear and that means another year of 9
lenty for the farmers. The manu- 7
lcturing plants are expecting better {
usiness than they have had since the d
anic" II

Oliver Meetings.

Sunday evening was the closing SER
vices of the Oliver evangelistic meeting
in our town. The attendance during
the day was the largest Of the meeting.
In the morning service DR.. Oliver
spoke on conservation, in the afternoon
his subject was, 1.-THE Devils Incuba-
tors, the Curse of the Dance, the Gard
Table and the Theater" and in the eve
ming it was objectionable SIM" Much
interest was shown and at the evening
services II made profession of CONVEX
sion.
At the close of the evening services,
vote of thanks to DR.. Oliver and an
expression of desire to have him re-
turn again for another campaign was
taken by rising vote and the large
congregation stood for moment there
by showing their high appreciation Of
the work done by DR.. Oliver and his as
sistants.
The Oliver meeting has resulted in
great good to our town and the sur
rounding country.
There were 1875 professions of CONVEX
sion but this does not by any means
measure the results of the meeting for
no man or woman could night after night
listen TO the earnest able and fearless
preaching of DR.. Oliver without being
forced to seriously consider their ac-
countability to God for their manner of
living. This meeting has caused many,
who seldom gave religious matters a
serious thought, to stop and think and
think seriously and, for this reason, the
results of the meeting are not by any
means fully measured by the number of
those who have professed conversion al
though this result shows the Oliver
meeting to be. by far the most success
sui evangelistic meeting ever held in
our county.
In Rev. Maurice Nichols and Prof. W.
A. Matbie, DR.. Oliver has able and
faithful assistants in his great work.
Rev. Nichols has full charge of all
business in connection with the meet
ings and is an able and successful man
either in the pulpit or as personal
worker among the people and his work
is much appreciated by all who came in
contact with him.
Prof. Maltbie in addition to being a
fine singer and most successful cho-
rus leader, is thoroughly consecrated
and successful Christian worker and his
faithful labor in this meeting will long
be remembered by our people.
DR.. Oliver, Rev. Nichols and Prof.
Maltbie started for Julesburg early
Monday Morning in order to catch the
morning train for their home.
