1 DR. HAMMOND HIT HARD.
!I-‘ormor Terrell County Man Has
| Severai Fire Losses,
Dr. J. H. Hammond, for a num
|per of years a well-known physi
?cian at Chickasawhatchee, but now
|a resident of Enigma, has been the
!especial vietim of the fire fiend re
|cently. The Tifton Gazette gives the
' following account of his recent se
| ries of misfortunes:
[ “The residence of Dr. J. H. Ham
’mond, at Enigma, was destroyed by
|fire Monday night about twelve
‘o'clock, with almost its entire con
| tents.
E “But very little was saved, the
' family barely escaping with their
lives. ;
| “It is thought the fire originated
:from the explosion of a kerosene
‘lamp. The loss was about $l,BOO,
' with insurance to cover about half
| that amount.
! “pr. Hammond and his family
'have many friends through this sec
jtion who deeply regret the occur-:
'rence, which is little short of a ca-i
| lamity to them, as the family is left
‘entirely without clothing or bedding. '
‘lt will be remembered that his|
'son lost his home last year by firc—.l
'and that a saw. mill owned by the
two was burned a few months ago,
:none of them more than partially in--
)sm‘ed, the loss being almost total.”

| Herod came near having a serious
jconflagration Saturday, caused by
fire breal.(ing out in the gin of Mr.

some splendid work, and not very
;much damage resulted. Some cot
'ton was burned, but the gin was not
‘seriously injured.
( All the members of the Baptist
;church are requested tp attend con
ference Saturday, as the annual call
for a pastor will be made. Rev. J.
|A. Ivey has resigned, but we uare
‘not informed as to whether the
?church will accept his resignation or
' not.
i Little Oliver Coker accidentally
'eut an artery in his arm last Sun
| day. Although he bled very pro
' fusely, he is doing well now. Dr.
;Collum took six stitches and had to
'}administer an 'opiaFe. Oliver is a
:Ivery popular little boy, the only
| child of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Coker.
| Rev. M. F. Beals filled his regu
|lar appointments here Saturday and

!people.

idered in a beautiful and faultless}
manner. We have some vocal talent

land we don’'t want to give up our
| girls.

gone into winter quarters. Our Bap
