BIG FIRE LOSS
Fire broke out in the rear of the
repair shops of Mr. W. H. Crowder
on Taylor street early Tuesday morn
ing, about 1 o’clock, and completely
destroyed the shops of Mr. Crowder,
the livery stables of Mr. W. J. Adams
and the garage of Mr. John T. Mid
dlebrooks, with practically all their
contents, resulting in a total loss
loss amounting to probably SIO,OOO,
with no insurance on any of the prop
erty.
The fire alarm was given as soon
as the fire was discovered and when
the fire department responded excel
lent work was done in stopping the
spread of the fire to other buildings.
Fortunately the wind was from the
west, blowing the fire away from
other important nearby buildings,
which aided the firemen greatly in
their efforts to save adjoining prop
erty, notably the Summers Buggy
Cos. plant and the Garland and Mitch
ell buildings. If these buildings had
caught there is not any telling the
extent of the damage which might
have been done to the property on
Forsyth and Main streets.
Mr. Crowder’s plant, the building
and equipment of which he owned
personally, was a complete loss. His
estimated loss is $3,500. The shops
were well equipped and Mr. Crowder
was doing a splendid business, mak
ing the loss quite a severe one to
him.
Mr. W. J. Adams owned the livery
stables, land and buildings, and had
on hand nine new wagons, two new
buggies, several second hand buggies
and other property, and he estimates
his loss close to $3,000.
Mr. John T. Middlebrooks owned
the garage, in which he had three
trucks stored, one of which was
burned up. He estimates his loss at
$1,500.
The people of the city and com
munity extend much sympathy to the
sufferers in the fire. It is not known
definitely how the fire originated.

ARTS CLUB MEETS

ma Martin as hostesses. The presi
dent called the meeting to order.
During the business we decided to

dered :

Anderson.

UNCLE GEORGE IN FLORIDA
Uncle George Sheram, notwith
standing his eighty-three years, is
having a better time than many peo
ple who are much younger. He
walked all the way to Richmond some
months ago, having a big time, and
is now in Tampa, Fla., enjoying the
balmy breezes of the Florida clime
and during the winter will feast him
self on oranges, grape fruit and sea
foods right. out of the gulf. A
Tampa newspaper says Uncle George
looks so much like Santa Claus that
the children there are frequently
arcing him what he is going to bring
them at Christmas. His Lamar
county friends wish him a great time
in the “Land of Flowers.”

MISS ELLA MAY POWELL
A GIFTED SPEAKER
On November 18th, under the
auspices of the “Three Arts Club,"
a representative gathering of Barnes
ville women met at the Club House
to hear Miss Ella May Powell lec
ture on “Psycology and Technique
of Speech and Song.” This was a
rare opportunity offered Barnesville,
and every one should have heard this
gifted speaker.
She had a large and interesting
class to take her five days’ course

personality of Miss Powell drew
around her a host of admirers and
the sunshine of the happy radiance
she reflected will linger with them
for years to come.
