DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Former Residence of Dr. 6. P.
Campbell Burned Monday Af
ternoon. Contents Saved.
!
Fire destroyed the residence of
Howell Lemon near the negro
Methodist church and just beyond
the city limits Monday afternoon.
The fire was discovered about 6
o’clock in the roof about one of
the chimneys near the center of
the building. It is supposed to
have been caused by a defective
flue.
As the water from the city wat
erworks could not be reached
from that point, the fire depart
ment couid give no aid. Ad the
furniture and mantels, h >wever,
were saved.
This building was for many
years the residence of the late Dr.
G. P. Campbell, and was one of
the first erected in that section.
The loss is believed to be about
covered by the insurance of sl,-
600.00.
