when one can go to eating mince

Fire’s Destructive Work.
Adel Suffers a Heavy Loss—Fire Orig¬
inated in Kennon’s Building. No
Plausible Theory Advanced as
to Origin—Buildings to
be rebuilt at once.
About three o’clock Monday
nu •ruing the inhabitants of Adel
were aroused to behold a grand
but calamitous sight. In two
hours time half of the business
part, of the town was consumed
in a mighty conflagration, the
like of which has never been seen
here The alarm was given by
the planing mill whistle in charge
of night-watchman Nichols.
The fire originated in Mr. L.
M. Kennon’s handsome new
story brick building, and those
who were first on th* scene say
that the fire was issuing from the
law office of Col. J. Z. Jackson
which was in the rear of the up¬
per story and before help of any
consequence arrived the stairway
had been burned and the flames
were spreading over the entire
building.
Dr. W. II. Stewart's dental of-
lice was also located up-stairs, the
rest of the upper floor being fur-
nished and used as an amusement
hall. A new $500 piano had just
recently been installed.
The south half of the lower
floor was occupied by Mr. Ken¬
non as a drug store. An effort
was made to get out the hand-
some new soda fount and fixtures
the escaping Ras from the
^ oun £ frightened the carriers who
just outside the door
whrvre ,*«■ /V as broken and burned.
Tin new/stock of drugs was a to-
talAqss./ J J
h [^ t[ no j. th room u f the Ken-
nQU []d i m was g. W. Webb’s
stock/of J general merchandise, a-
w trtjf hi v . hich vvas carried
fron| the building,
Tlfe fire had now passed to the
j ar2:e tW o-story building known
ag fhe Wllby building; but owned
by J. T. Wilkes and the Citizens
Bank of Valdosta. 'The south
half of this was owned and occu¬
pied by Mr. Wiikes who carried
a large stock of general meridian-
dis<*, using both floors. The fire
was now burning with great
fierceness and but little of this
stock was saved.
The next place of business was
that of Kennon & Wells, general
merchants, occupying both upper
and lower floors. A small part
of this stock was sav^d m a badly
damaged condition.
The north wall of this building
toppled over on J. T. Wilkes’one
story building and crushed in
roof - - but the fire did not go fur-
ther northward.
In the mean time the hre , had
crossed the street to the east wit i
a shift of the wind and 1 now
looked as if the entire business
part of town was doomed to de-
struction. The two-atory wooden
building oil the corner owned by
M 8. Patten was a quick prey to
the aamea. The uppe- tooma
this building had been the home
of The Adel News for several
years. Nearly all of the outfit
had!been moved on Friday and
Saturday thoLh to our present location
some of our fixtures and
office supplies had not been mov-
efi and these were burned, The
lower floor of the Patten building
was used by 8. W. LeGrande as
a millinery store and most of this
stock and fixtures were saved,
The new brick store of J. E.
Wilkes’ was the next building
consumed. In this building was
C. E. Webb’s large stock of gro¬
ceries and heavy feed stuff. But
very little of this stock was saved.
The T. R. Miley building was
the next in order and by the
greatest exertions the fire was
stopped here, although the build¬
ing was practically ruined. A.
A. & H. L, Parrish had on Satur¬
day purchased the Miley stock of
goods which was greatly damaged
by fire and removal.
The front of M. S. Patten’s
brick store was burned with some
of the Edison stock of dry goods
which was greatly damaged by
fire and removal.
The front of the Passmore
building was also badly damaged
as was also some of the stock of
furniture.
The roof of the Miley building
blew up while efforts were being
made to save the building and
Prof. M. A, Shaw was thrown
some ten feet high, falling upon
his face which was badly cut,
bruised and burned. The shock
of the fall was a very severe one
and for a while it was thought
that Mr. Shaw was dangerously
wounded. We are glad to state
that ho is improving rapidly and
will be out in a few days,
The present home of The News
was dangerously threatened and
for quite a while it looked as if
there was no escape, though con¬
stant and intelligent work finally
triumphed.
Perhaps the hardest fight of the
fire was to save Miss Jimmie
Gray’s building on the opposite
corner from the Patten building.
The shingle roof on this building
was old and was easily ignited
and but for the heroic work of J.
S. Cone and S. W. Webb on the
building, seconded by many aides
on the ground, the building with
several others would certainly
have burned. Among these would
have been Mr, Cone’s stables.
Mr. Cone was badly burned about
the head, face and body and lieis
the hero of the fire.
There were perhaps fifty expos¬
ures at one time and nearly every
stock of goods in town was mov¬
ed from the buildings, causing
much loss from breakage, theft
and exposure.
The bitter cold of the weather
made it possible to endure heat
which at other times would have
been intolerable and in this way
more goods were .saved than

might have been expected.
Tl e post office fixtures were re¬
moved and some breakage occur
red but no loss of mail.
The News outfit was nearly all
moved out of doors except our
large press and though things were
tumbled pell mell we suffered no
serious direct losses.
The fire burned about three
hours before it was under con-
trol and so many risks exposed
once made the help at each place
small.
So far as ascertained the losses
are approximately as follows:
L. M. Kennon, building, §5,500
with insuranceof §2,000.
L. M. Kennon hall fixtures $600.
L. M. Kennon drug stock,$1,500
insurance $1,000.
J, Z. Jackson, law office and li¬
brary, $300.
Dr. W. H. Stewart, dental of¬
fice, $100.
A*iM Band, instruments, $100.
S. W. Webb, stock, $1,000.
J. T. Wilkes, stock $6,800; in¬
surance $3,000.
J. T. Wilkes building $2,500.
Kennon & Wells, stock, $5,000;
insurance $8,250.

ing $500; insured.

M. S. Patten, building, $500;
insurance, $800.

$40.

insurance, $1,000.
O. E. Webb,’stock, $1,500; in-
$1,000.
T. K. Miley, building, $1,000;
insured.
A. A. & H. L. Parrish, loss and
damage to stock $2,500; insured.
A. Edison loss and and damage
to stock, $2,500; insured.
M. S. Patten, damage to^build-
ing, $200; insured.
J. A. B. Passmore, damage to
building and stock, $125.
The Adel Telephone Co., dam¬
age, $125.
Various other losses by removal
ect. $1,000 @ 2,000.
The loss is a great one to our
plucky little city but the gloom
is wearing off and things are as¬
suming a more hopeful aspect.
The large pait. of the business
affected by the burn has been at
a standstill all the week, await¬
ing the insurance adjustors who
are beginning to arrive. Some
adjustments have already been
made and plans are being discuss¬
ed for rebuilding the burned dis¬
tricts. This is almost sure to be
done. Merchants are seeking
temporary quarters and will re¬
sume business at the earliest pos-
,ible moment.
In the meantime several entec-
prising firms who were not mate¬
rially damaged are waiting on the
trade and every want is being
supplied,

He was given a creditable hear¬
