COOK AND EDWARD ELDER SWEPT AWAY BY FURIOUS FLAMES. Tuesday night shortly after 11 o’clock, the home of Mrs. S. K. Cook on Thomaston street was discovered to he on fire and the alarm was immediately given, to which the tire company and a great number of citizens responded promptly. When the fire was discovered however, it had gotten a good start and the Humes spread with such rapidity, that it was almost impossible to arrest the great conflagration. The fire com pany and citizens worked with great heroism, hut it was only a few moments before the Cook house was pactically destroyed and the larger and comparatively new home of Mr. Edward Elder was also being burned to the ground. Desperate efforts were made to save the contents of these two houses, and a great many things were gotten out, but the loss to all the occupants is very heavy. As soon as it was seen that nothing that could be done would save either one of these homes, all efforts were expended in trying to prevent the spread of the fire to therfurrounding houses. For a time it looked as if the homes of Mr. W. C. Stafford, Mr. It. G. Mat thews, Miss Pattie Moyer and the Piper house, occupied by Col. J. F. Redding, would be set on fire and burn but they were saved, several of them being scorched. It was one of the most disastrous fires had here in a long time. Shortly after 12 o’clock the fire had done its work and all danger had passed. The large concourse of people returned to their homes, regretting the severe losses and sorry over the inability to do more to help those who had suffer ed. It is supposed that the fire orig inated in the stove room of the Cook house. The Cook house was occupied by Mrs. S. K. Cook, whose loss is about SSOO, with SBOO insurance; Prof. G. F. 01 ipliant, Judge Oliphant and their families, losses about SIOOO, with SSOO insurance, Prof. Oliphant losing his large and very valuable library; Miss Mollie Rogers and Mrs. Poe, loss S2OO or SBOO. The house was owned by Mr. E. L. Cook, and was valued at about $8,500, with SI7OO, insurance. Mr. Elder lost his house and practically all its contents, val ued at between $5,000 and SO,OOO with a total insurance of SI,OOO. Rev. F. R. Graves and family occupied memo in Mr. Elder’s house and lost practically every thing including a fine library. Their Joss will be about SOOO or S7OO withssoo insurance. No one was hurt during the fire. Judge Oliphant, was slightly burn ed about the head, in his efforts to save his household goods. It was a disastrous fire and it is to be hoped that Barnesville will not be visited by such a one again. •Jordan Improves* Store. Messrs. W. C.
