g A
- On last Saturday morning about 11:50
f o’clock the residence occupied by Mrs,
Enoch Faw and daughters, Misses Olive
iand Lizzie Faw, and Miss Chester, on
Roswell street. was discovered to be on
fire in the roof of the Kkitchen. The
}fire alarm sent the fire department
t promptly to the scene. The blaze was
‘burning fiercely and great volumes of
Famoke were aseending. Two streams
|of water were turned on and subdued
‘thetire in the kitchen roof, but by this
‘time the flames had reached the rear
of the main building and were barning
rapidly. The firemen with persistency
bravely fought the flames with axes and
‘water, but a tin deck baffled their ef
forts untl an axeman suecceeded in
tearing up part of the tin roof. The
hiddeu flames were then soon reached
and extinguished.
The rear roofs and ends of the build
ing were burned, but the front rooms
of the building were all saved. Most
all of the furniture was gotten out, but
badly damaged.
The origin of the fire evidently was
caused by a defective flue.

modious building, and belongs to the
Enoch Faw estate. The building was
insured for $1,400 and the furniture for
$3OO, in the Southern Mutual of Athens,
