We are not after room as most

If you want to know what we
mean by a SWEEPING Reduc
tion, come to this
Thursday night about 830 o’clock,
while most of the people of Buena Vista
were at church, the alarm of Ore waa
sounded, and the place waa thrown Into
a state of most Intense excitement,.
The fire was soon located in the two-
story wood building of D. M. Hall & Co.,
and it burned like powder. Thla build
ing burned so rapidly that nothing could
be saved.
Mr. J. C. Rigsby lived just in the roar
of Hall's drug store, and all the family
were at church, but those who first ap
peared on the scene saved most of his
household goods.
J. M. Lowe & Co., dry goods, were
just across the corner from nail's in
one-story building. Heroio efforts were
made to save thla building, but It could
not be saved. The water supply was
limited to the wells on the square and
they wore drawn dry.
S. N. Rushin & W. F. Rushin, groce
ries, are on the oast corner, and It was
with great difficulty that the building
was saved. A light oast wind protected
this building. A good many goods were
taken out lu a slightly damaged conili
tion.
These, with a small house south of
tho drug store, wero all the buildings
burned, but had it not been for the bank
and the two story brick building be
tween the burnt district and the wood
en buildings north, tho entiro west and
north sido of the squaro would have
been in ashes.
J. L. Wilson, who had a general store
in the drug store building, lost bis en
tire stock. He savod his books. In
surance 81,000.
The Masonic lodge over the two stores
was insured for 8800 on the building.
Tho jewels, chart and other valuable
paraphernalia wero a total loss.
D. M. Hall & Co., savod nothing and
were insured for $1,000.
S. N. Rushin & W. F. Rusliiu, was in
sured and sustained a slight loss on
goods and building.
J. M. Lowe & Co., had insurance on
thier stock to the amount of 80,000 or
(7,000. The building, owned by Judge
Lowe, was insured for $1,000. A largo
number of the goods from the building
were saved In a damaged condition.
Mr. J. C. Rigsby had no Insurance on
his house or furniture.
, The bank was insured for $1,200.
There was no loss to the bank except
to doors, windows, counters and other
fixtures.
Mrs. M. E. Adkins, milliner, who lives
above her store was not Insured. She
sustained a slight loss from removal of
goods.
Dr. Jeilorson sustained a loss In tho
removal of goods from his drug store.
We could not see him but presume he
was insured.
Tub Tiues-Recoiideb is informed that
a more determined set of men never
went to a fire and that they fought tho
fire fiend desperately. Tho weather la
said to bavo been the calmest ever seen
at a largo fire.
The damage was considerable, but the
people of Buona Vista are a plucky, de
termined sot They have an abiding
faith In their town and when they start
at it they will not bo long about repair
ing the loss which has boon entailed upon
them. It is expected that the burnt
district will bo built up with brick
blocks. Tho fire Is thought to have boen
of Incendiary origin.
