Wednesday’s Fire.
On Weduesday about5n'*on, the
alarm of fire was given and in
response the whole towu and the
dogs turned out. When we arrived
at the scene of distruction, we
noticed the cotton on the platform
ablaze, which caught from a spark
from a passing freight train. The
fire spread with rapidity and only
was the town saved by the labor
of our citizens. Bales were rolled
around in great shape and the
bucket and salt brigade soon had
fire under controle. The engine,
that caused the fire, furnished
water to extinguish the blaze.
There were some fifty-four
square bales burned and seven
round bales. Many were damaged.
Some are saying this may teach
the road a lesson, but we believe
the road is doing its best to
fnrnish cars andjno more can be
expected. This fire should cause
every man to think about his
insuranceand remember Kramer
writes fire insurance on country
and town property. The town
ig The city meat market!
We shall always endeavor to keep on hand the
best and choicest Heats obtainable. :
