The loss is partly covered by insur ance, it was stated. The fire was one of the hard est to fight in the history of the department, owing to the con struction of the building, which was divided into many partitions.

TINDALL Macon, Ga. MR. LEWIS AND FAMILY THANK THEIR FRIENDS In the past I have had a Vari ety of experiences and passed through many trying ordeals, but on last Wednesday night I had a new experience and a fearful or deal. But amidst it all we are comforted by the thought that the origin of the fire was not the work of an incendiary nor care lessness on our part. Really we are at a loss to know how it star ted. But best of all is to have good neighbors and kind friends. We shall never forget the dear people of Floyilla for their heroic efforts to save the house and con tents and for their liberal contri butions to us in our distress. The people of Jackson have also been kind to us and considerate of our needs. We shall ever hold them in grateful remembrance. God bless them all. J. S. Lewis and Family.
