Newton, the oonnty seat of Baker oounty, 21 miles Booth nf Albany, was visited by another disastrous fire early yesterday morning. The blaze was first discovered about 1 o'olook in the store of O. E. Norris & Bro., dealers in general merchandise. The town has no fire fighting apparatus and in spito of the efforts of a bucket brigade, the flames spread to ndjoining buildings The store of O. E. Norris & Bro., with its ooutents, was oompletely destroyed, as were the stores of W. E, Odom, W. H. Screws and M. O. Sorews. Several smaller buildings also went np in the general oonflagration. The total loss is placed at $15,000, and was only partially insured. O. E. Nor ris & Bro. carried on building and oom tents insnranoe amounting to $4,800. W. E. Odom had insurance amounting to $000 on his store and merchandise. Some of the contents were taken out of several of the stores before they were destroyed, but in tbe main, the stooks of merchandise proved oomplete losses to their owners'.
