The whole country was stirred. White covered pfo- neer schooners were rieged up in all sections of the country and men Wlta their families started for the new country. Columbus was it's gateway Within few months the village De came city. New buildings sprang up erywhere-hotels. homes and board ing houses The new settlers, spread ing out over the surrounding country, began to cultivate the soil. Commerce sprang up. The fame of wonderful agricultural lands spread. With the in crease in population had to come the merchantmen to provide for them. Co., lumbus unfurled her flags of commerce and industry to the world and today she stands as one of the leading agri- cultural towns of the country.

 Columbus Today
 | Today Columbus has over 2000 school I children: 29 separate industrial plants, employing about 1500 people with an an- nual payroll of over a million and a | quarter dollars; a total annual commerce | of 312, 262 tons valued at $l0,321 ,049; two railroads; a street car system four large l banks; telephones and electric lights; the | largest girls college in the south: two semi weekly newspapers, hotels. churches,
 theatres and all of the regular accon-
 trements that go to make up a modern,
 up-to-6ate city.
 Therefore. in an effort to give a brief word picture of the city, each of these subjects will be taken up separately and
 discussed in their most important de-
 tails.
 No correct word picture of Columbus
 can be drawn unless the great agri

 which form the real basis of its life
 are included. It is here, in a climat, excelied by no place in the world, i is said. and with soil versatile tha it is adaptable to almost any crop known
