US BROWN'S GARAGE,PHONEM Barnesville, Georgia BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1922 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.

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.” ILLUSTRATED LECTURE AT SHILOH CHURCH Miss Bromley, one of the teachers of Bessie Tift College, will give an illustrated lecture on Egypt at Shi loh church on Sunday afternoon.
