FIRE AT MITCHELL
MONDAY NIGHT.
Solid Block Burns. Hotel
and Several Stores go
up in Smoke.
THE SETTLING TIME
HAS NOW COME.
Patrons of This Paper are
Urged to Pay Up
Promptly.
Information reached here Tues
day of a big fire in our neighbor
ing little city, Mitchell, looated
about twenty five mileB up the
Augusta Southern Railroad.
It is siad that the fire was dis
covered at ten o’clock in the
wooden building occupied by Mr.
J. B. Mathis. Before anything
at all could be done to check the
flames, they had gained so much
headway that it was impossible
to put the Are out, and in just a
little while the entire block was
a mass of flames.
Mr. Carlos Underwood who had
been flushing up his new hotel
building was among the losers.
The building was nearing com
pletion and would have helped

great deal He had eighteen
hundred dollars insurance and
was not as heavy a loser as the
other fellows.
Mr. J. H. May who has been
moving his Btock to Chalker also
suffered a small loss. It is said
he lost a lot of goods and had no
insurance. J. S. Mathis, who is
well known here and formerly of
this county, was in all probabilty
the heaviest loser of all, not hav
ing any insurance at all. His
insurance policy had expired
about two weeks ago and the rate
being very high had not had the
policy rewritten.
Mr. Brady who runs a barber
shop Had six hundred dollars in
surance. A millinery establish
ment was also burned with no in
surance. It is estimated that

We have been as lenient as we
oould but settling time has now
arrived and we would be delight
ed if our friends pay what is due

No one man oweB us much, but
the aggregate foots up something
like $8,000. We need this money
to meet our maturing obligations.
If all our patrous pay what they
are due, it will not be missed by a
single oue of them, ana yet the
aggregate will be of such propor

liquidate our indebtedness.

travels fast. We receive it on ac

creditors. Ho gives us credit and
sends it along to some person he
owes. This is kept up until many
debts are wiped out by this one
dollar.
At the earliest possible moment
call at this office and let ub have
what you are due us. It will aid
us materially and not be a hard
ship on you.

of the fire-burned section was cov
ered by insurance and oqly two
people had that.
The many friends of the unfor
tunate ones in this fire deeply
sympathize with them in their
misfortune.
The above information waB
furnished us by a traveling man
who happened to be in the little
city at the time of the burning,
and we presume is correct.
Yesterday, Thursday, was a day
in which the ladies of Sanders-
▼ille and vicinity had the pleasure
of attending some of the prettiest
millinery openings ever held in
Sandersville. They will be long
remembered as having surpassed
any previous displays.
The grms in this city who had
their openings on the first were
Messrs, fucker Richbourg-Mitch-
ell Co.. Happ & Paris and Isaac
Silver <fe Bro., and when their
doors were thrown open perhaps
the prettiest display of hats and
millinery creations of every de
scription were inspected by the
ladies. The stocks were unusally
complete and the interest mani
fested by femininity gave uudis-
putable evidence of the fact that
Sandersville merchants have at
last convinced the public that
there is no necessity for going to
Macon and Atlanta for their head-
gear.
Beautifully trimmed fall and
winter hats for ladies, misses and
children, exact copies of the
Paris styles, were shown and some
of the creations wore a revelation
even to those who keep posted as
to the latest in these goods.
The prices ranged from the
modest looking head-gear costing
only a few dollars to magnificent
ones valued at $40and over. The
wives and daughters had an op
portunity to make a selection to
suit the purses of their husbands
and fathers, and there was little
excuse for any one not to obtain
anything desired and at any price.

Monday afternoon Mayor A. W.
Evans held his regular weekly
matinee at the city hall a?d the
first case to come up was that of
Louis Wilcher, charged with dis
orderly conduct, who entered a
plea of guilty and was fiued one
dollar and costs, the case against
him being a light one.
The next case was that of Sa
vannah Bostwick, charged with
disorderly conduct, and when ask
ed whether she was guilty or not
she promptly said, “Jedge, I nev
er dun it.’’ During the progress
of the case it developed that Sa
vannah and Naomi Hays had been
at outs for sometime and a few
days ago Savannah “ ’bused” Na
omi’s children and ‘‘throwed out
hints that they thou’t they wus
rich, but they wusn’t nuthin’ but
poor black trash,” andBome more
that wouldn’t look well in print.
When Savannah was questioned
she Baid: “Jedge, I knows you
want de facts ’bout dis, an I’m
gwine ter tell yer dat dem niggers
hes put up a job in dis bisuess—I
ain’t dun nuthin, no time.”
Mayor Evans saw it in a differ
ent light, how Q ver, and told her
to pay a fine of one dollar and
costs and “stay in her own back
yard.” The arrests were made by
Policemen Barwick and Blount.
