DISASTROUS FIRE
Fire Originating in Thert-e in
Early Morning Carnes
Heavy Loss
A
Newport suffered a loss
from fire early Tuesday morn
ing that will exceed $100,000
Had it not been for a steady
rain during the fire and ar.
hour previous one section of
Newport’s business district
would have been a totai loss.
The fire originated in the
Strand Theatre and it it is
supposed to have caught from
a defective flue.
This was a complete loss, as
the Strand nh7890$789o$787
the building, recently remodel
ed with an expenditure ol $8,
000 and with 15,000 feet of
picture films went up in smoke
with nothing saved. The build
ing and furniture, valued at
$41,000, carried $18,000 in
surance.
The Reid Music Store and
the Palmer tailor shop, in the
same building, were complete
ly destroyed. The Chamber of
Commerce and Montgomery’s
barber shop, in adjoining
buildings, were badly damag
ed.
The second story of the
theatre was occupied by the
Masonic orders of the city,
which had elegantly furnished
lodge rooms, including valr
r
able records that cannot be re
placed
From Hazel Street the fire
jumped to Front street, where
the Style Shop of Mrs. H. C.
Sanders, which carried exclu
sively women’s apparel, was a
total loss.
Walker’s drug store and
Clyde Wood’s pool hall, ad
joining the millinery store,;
were both damaged to consid
erable extent.
Most of the loss is covered
by insurance except that of the
Reid Music Store which is said
to have had no insurance.
THU POUNDING
It, they, she, he, them and;
these, did something mighty
nice for the pastor "and his
daughter, Miss Willeen, on
Thursday night, Dec. 16. About
6 ,p. m. the forerunners began j
io come, and a stream of load-■
ed men, women, boys and girls
came and went till 8 o’clock.
To name the donors and dona
tions would require a trip from
A to Z. So you can see just
how profund and intense the
whole affair was. A good
word takes you by the hand
and says “get up, go on”—but
a good deed puts something
under yo*ur feet on which you
can stand, and build for th"
(future. We, daughter and I,
[ most sincerely thank you for
the gifts, and better still, for
the spirit that prompted them.
Jas- F. and Willeen Jernigam
