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. One Bound of Enjoyment. Mr. A.
