COLUMBIA CITY, IND.
A thriving incorporated village, the county seat of Whitley county, situated 19 miles west of Fort Wayne, and 129 miles east of Chicago, on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago rail- road, at the crossing of the Detroit, Eel River & Indiana rail- road. Its superior railroad facilities make it a point from which large quantities of grain, flour and stock are shipped annually. The merchants are wide awake for trade and for the most part do a good business. Among the leading industries of the village prominent mention is made of the new " Brilliant " merchant flouring mills, owned by D F Campbell & Co.
The hotels compare favorably with any in this portion of the State ; and if the traveler stops at the Columbia City House, he will soon learn that its manager " knows how to keep a hotel."
Two weekly papers are published, one Republican, the other Democratic. A new $30,000 jail furnishes safe accommodation to its occupants. Population, about 3,000.
