FIRE REPEATS ITS
VISIT TOJcDONOUGH
Mr. P. B. Cheek’s Residence Burned to the
Ground.
MR.J.T. SOWELL SUFFERS A TOTAL LOSS.
Fire was discovered in the resi
dence of Mr. P. B. Cheek in Mc-
Donough Wednesday night shortly
after 10 o’clock.
The fire was first discovered in
the dining room, but had made
such headway that none of the
contents eoutd be saved and the
family barely escaped. Mr. Cheek’s
loss was about $2,000.00, with
$750.00 insurance. In this is in
cluded a very fine collection of
jewelry and diamonds of Mrs,
Cheek’s.
Mr J. T. Sowell owned the
building and his loss is about
$1,800.00, with no insurance.
The bucket brigade again saved
several adjacent buildings by their
fine work.
The cause of the fire is a mys
tery, as no fire had been in the
stove since morning.
