At two o’clock Tuesday morning
the lire alarm was sounded and by the
time the sleeping inhabitants of the
quiet city of Tifton was fully aroused
the Walker storehouse und rooms at
tached, corner Third and Main streets
owned by Mrs. S. J. Payne, of Shell-
man, and occupied by Mr. D. A. Me*
Phuul with a stock of general mer
chandise, were found completely
evelopcd iu flumes.
It seems providential that the wind
was blowing gently from the south
east, driving the flames in a direction
that partially shielded all other build
ings und aided in confining them to
the one building. Still it required
intelligent heroic work to prevent
the lire from spreading to adjuccnt
buildings, and the Gazkttk compli
ments those actively engaged in sup
pressing the fire upon the sensible
manner in which they undertook the
work. I'or awhile the entire west
side of Main street was threatenud
with destruction by the fiery element.
The ’ losses are estimated at about
$4,000. Mrs. Payne lost the building
Mr. MePlmul his stock of merchan
dise, Mr. Henry Youmuns lost a part
of his household and kitchen fiiviii-
tufounda. number vf Watches, and
-.’Ar5
-..DA- VLik'ivSr.-'
George Mathews the colored cobbler,
lost some of his tools by his booth-
shop being liuslletl into the middle of
theslreeb There was some insurance
on the building and stock of mer
chandise, perhaps both anioui.t lo
about $1,800.
The origin of Hie fire is unknown,
lint is supposed to have occurred from
explosion of a lamp which had been
the custom to leave burning iu the
store at night.
Atkinson SpeaUn.

ment Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, candi
date for governor of Georgia, was in
Tifton last Saturday afternoon and
addressed the voters of Be ryicn, Worth
Irwiti and Colquitt counties—who
assembled to bear him—from the cast
vurutidah of Hotel .Sadie.
Mr. Atkinson was introduced, by
Col. C. W. Fulwood and spoke for an
hour and a quarter; and was frequent
ly and vociferously applauded. We
did not hear the first part of the
speech, hut what we did hear was an
impiissiouutc presentation of his
claims to und fitness, for the office to
which he aspires. There was noth
ing iu the portion of bis speech we
heard worthy of harsh criticism. It
was evident the crowd present was
with him in his race.

counties who came to hear the P|ieccii
