ANOTHER WARNING 10 SHOW 01 PEOPLE HIE
Four IN NOT HAVING A GOOD 8YTEI Of
WATER WORKS.
Considerable excitement was
created in the city last Friday
night by a fire which resulted
in the complete destruction of
the warehouse.
The fire was discovered by A.
D. Brinson, night police, about
12 o’clock. After firing his pis
tol several times he hurried to
the bell and gave the alarm.
The citizens gathered very rap
idly, but the fire by this time
had gained such headway that
it was useless to try to save the
building. Fortunately none of
the nearby buildings caught,
although one was in the act of
catching several times, but by
the hard work of the people it
was prevented.
The burned building was in
sured for $1,500, being equally
divided between the Liverpool,
London & Globe Insurance Co.
and the Home Insurance Co. of
New York.
Mr. Sam B. Wight of Albany.
Ga., special agent for the Liv
erpool, London & Globe was
here Monday adjusting their
claim, and was also instructed
by the Home Insurance Co. to
make adjustment for them. He
recommended that full settle
ment be made, which amount
will fully cover Mr. Sapp’s loss,
leaving Cargill-Wight Co., of
Columbus, Ga., the only losers,
they having aoout $350 worth
c f canned syrup stored in the
building.
This loss should open the
eyes of our good people, and
cause them to cast their ballot
for the electric lights and water
works, for our escape of what
might have been a disasterous
fire for Cairo was narrowly
averted, and even a small fire
like this about exhausted all
convenient water supplies.

A Barrel of Money
It would be nonsense for you to keep
on paying two prices for what you buy
while we still sell goods at
=-“Live and Let Live” Prices.
Many have accepted our offer, and are getting more goods for their
money than ever before, while others seem to prefer to keep in the same old
rut: trading at stores where goods are sold at exhorbitant prices, with little
or no regard to quality.
Resolve Now to
Get Out of The Rut,
and come over with us and our
band of satisfied customers.
We realize fully the
Powerful Purchasing Power
"Of the==
Almighty Dollar,
and in buying our
Fall and Winter stock
the ready cash has been an important factor, and we have used it as a big
lever with which to Pull Prices down to their lowest Possible Point, with
out sacrificing the least bit of quality.
We extend to you and your friends a cordial invitation to come and see
for yourselves the Good Things we have for you. The Neatness and Com
pleteness of our stock will surprise you, and we will take pleasure in show
