ming last Friday evening and continu-

number of ministers and delegates
present, and during the session there
were number of able addresses. Sat-

There were two services Sunday fore

from a distance, present. During the
session Mrs. z. T. Williams, wife of
the local pastor, who is Jealous in the

Wake Up.

There ought to be concerted ac-
ton upon the part Of the business
men of Columbia to bring larger vol
ume of trade to town. There is no
use to deny the fact that there have
been fewer goods sold by the mer-
chants Of this place in the last six
week than has been known, in the
same length of time, for the past ten
years. The merchants of Columbia
are not offering inducements, as the
bushes men in adjoining counties,
hence the trade that naturally belongs
here is going elsewhere. We have
good merchants, men who are able to
carry large and varied stocks, and If
they expect to reap paying trade,
they must be prepared to meet de-
mands, and let the country people
know that they are ready to accom-
modate them. You can not sell goods
unless you keep them. Bring on the
goods and let the people know that
you are ready to hand them over the
counter.
