Columbia On A Boom.

At no time in the history OF
Columbia has there been so much
construction work going on, and
we daresay that no town in the
State, of about equal size, can
show any better signs of its pro,
gressiveness than our town.
HUMPHREYS Bros, are going along
without a hitch in the plans with
their foundry and machine shop
building, which will be a good
thing for this community when
it is completed, and a profitable
business for its founders.
Mr.. Martin has begun clean
ing off the lot for the erection OF
a frst-class ginnery on the east
side near the bridge, and in a
few days actual work on the
building will start.
Mr.. Tony Pendola has made
all arrangements to put another
story on his store house and brick
and material is being place on
the ground. Lumber, brick and
other material has been hauled
on the lot where D. C. Fisher
will build a residence, while the
pretty crocrete block house of
DR.. Mays will soon be complet-
ed. The Baptist are at last
to have a house to worship ina
real house of their own, and the
Iron Mountain Railway has de-
cided that we are big enough
to be seen, and will soon cut the
hill between the depot and town
down on level with the station,
so that passengers may be allow
ed to sit up and take notice of a
real live town.
Now, let the Knockers Club
either liquidate or merge with
the Boosters and let's all get the
habit of doing things. then what
do you suppose?
