THREE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
Estimated That More Than $10,000.00
Worth of Property Destroyed
Last Saturday morning at about
2:30 o’clock the blowing of whis
tles and the ring of the fire bell
awaked and alarmed our people.
A discovery had been made that
a conflagration of no small di
mension was making rapid head
way in the blacksmith and wheel
wright shops of Messrs. Morris <fc
Parkerson. The ever faithful fire
department promptly turned out
but the consuming flames bad
spread so rapidly that the blaze
was soon lapping over to the
Rougliton cigar factory; the old
warehouse formerly used by
Wight – Weslosky Co.; then on
to the cotton warehouse occupied
and operated by Harris – James,
and the two store buildings be
longing to J. A. Dixon. The losses
at this fire are as follows:
Morris – Parkeraon, loss $1,000;
insurance $500. Building was
by E. Fisher. Fisher’s
loss on building $400; insurance
on same $300.
Z. H. Houghton’s loss $4,000,
insurance $2,250.
J. A. Dixon’s loss $1,200, with
no insurance.
W. R. Harris’ loss $600, in
surance $500.
Coney – Co.’s loss on cotton in
warehouse, $300, covered by in
surance.
G. 8. – F. Railroad, cars, cross
ties, etc., $500. Fully insured.
Electric Light Company, lamps,
poles, wire, etc., $200. No in
surance.
Sunday evening at a little after
six o’clock another alarm of fire
was sounded, and upon investiga
tion the fire was found to be
located in the residence of Mr.
Will Thornton. Much of the con
tents of the building were con
sumed by the flames, and though
the house was totally destroyed,
the fire laddies did noble work in
saving the residence occupied by
Mr. F. H. Bland, as that building
was only 8 or 10 feet distance from
the Thornton house. The loss of
Mr. Thornton is somewhere near
$1,100, with $900 insurance.
On Monday morning at eleven
o’clock the fire companies were
again called out. This time the
fire was discovered in the stable
of Mr. Aycock, just between and
near the Cordele Sash, Door –
Lumber Co’s, plant and the Stan
dard Oil Company’s warehouses,
in the stable was stored hay and
other dry stuff and ’though com
paratively small the fire was ex
ceedingly hot. The stable was
burned to the ground, and the
fire companies did hard work in
saving the oil company’s build
ings. Origin of the fire not known.

THE PROPOSED CARNIVAL.
Will be Profitable to Oordele and
Interesting to Visitors.
The proposed carnival for Cor
dele, now being worked up by
Prof. Erhart, and which he pro
poses to pull off about the middle
of November, will prove more
profitable to o.ir people than first
glance at this gigantic movement
would seem to indicate. Although
the movement seems to be a la
borious one, yet, with a little
concerted action on the part of our
people the expense will be small
compared with the benefits to be
derived. Several Cordele citizens
who at first doubted the advisabil
ity of the undertaking are now
firmly convinced that the carnival
should be held, and from present
prospects it will be held, and such
an one as will be a drawing card
for hundreds and thousands of
visitors. Cheap railroad rates are
anticipated for the visitors, and
the fact that all the show will be
free and worth seeing is sufficient
intimation that for three days the
people of Wiregrass Georgia will
mix and mingle togethor upon the
streets of Cordele. Although
Cordele is smaller than some other
towns giving carnivals, yet she
never does things by halves, but
generally “goes the whole thing or
nothing,” and the proposed carni
val will second to none of the car
nivals given by other places.
We would like to elaborate on
some of the features, some of the
buildings and floats mapped out
by Prof. Erhart, but suffice at this
time to Bay that most all of these
are entirely new and different
from any ever given at any other
carnival. Work will probably
start within t wo or three days, or
as soon as Prof. Erhart is assured
that he can meet with success, and
of this be is now practically as
sured.
A POOR WORKER.
No man or woman can work well,
mentally or physically, nor kind per
form effective service of any
who is burdened with a torpid
liver. Constipation and deficient
secretion of bile have clogged up
the organs of the bo'dy so that they
cannot keep up the energy to the
proper standard, hence, weariness,
headaches, depression, fickle ap
petite result. All this can be
changed with a few doses of
Prickly Ash Bitters. It cleanses
the system thoroughly, flushes the
excretory canals, drives out im
purities, imparts new life to the
vital organs and re-establishes
healthy functional activity, which
brings with it energy, strength,
vigor of body and brain and cheer
ful spirits. Sold by Gash Drug
Store.
A Serious Runaway.
Tuesday evening as Oscar Mc
Kinney was driving away from
Bennett Scarborough’s, where he
had carried his little sister to go to
school, his horse became frighten
ed, threw him out of the buggy
which broke his arm between the
wrist and elbow. Dr. Wallace set
the broken bone, and Oscar will
probably be back in school within
a few days.
