Columbia Eisht.five Years Ago.
May 18th, 1909.

We learn from tradition that about
eighty-five years ago Columbia was a
manufacturing town. There was hat
factory, nail factory, a hattter's es-
Enlistment, wooden mills, etc., here,
and capitalists from the East frequently
visited the place and made purchases.
1t was believed at that time that Co
lumbia would grow to be great city.
A gentleman by the name of Lamp
ton, the father of Jane hampton, who
married a Clemens and became the
mother of Mark Twain, after she and
her husband removed to Florida, Mo-,
owned large brick hotel which stood
where the Stapp livery stable now
stands 1t was constantly crowded
with guests, people from New York
and Philadelphia being here frequently.
Upon one occasion two Philadelphians.
who were here, and observing the i'm
mense business the hotel was doing,
decided that they would like to own the
building, believing that its value would
increase as the town prospered, and
they offered Mr.. hampton thirty thous-
and dollars for the property which was
promptly declined.
Years have come and gone and the
fond hopes of the earlier settlers never
came, but prosperity has been with its
inhabitants all during the towns exist
ence; and while it did not become a
city, it is known to-day as one of the
best inland hamlets in Kentucky.
