Splendid Building of Mr. J [
J. Black, Home of Rifles
and Secret Orders, Burn
ed with Total loss $20,000
and Insurance $14,300.

Fire was discovered at two o’clock
?ursday morning shooting thirty feet
nto the air from the roof of the Black
building on Atlanta street and such
headway had been gained by the
flames that despite splendid work on
the part of the firemen the loss on
building and contents amounted to
nearly $20,000 before the fire was got
ten under control.
The Black building was the pride
business block of Marietta. It was fif
ty feet in front, 140 feet deep and
three stories in height, completed
about a year ago and was remarkably
well constructed. It was the Armory
of the Rifles, the Auditorium for enter
tainments and on the third floor was
the home of all the secret orders in
Marietta.
It is not known how the fire started.
It seemed to have originated near the
head of the stairs and had probably
been burning an hour when Mrs. J. D.
Anderson was awakened by the glare
and saw the flames bursting through
the roof. Mr. Elmer Anderson ran out
and gave the alarm and Fire Chief
‘Morris was out quickly with the chem
ical engine. The streets were desert
ed at that hour and when the hose had
been laid there were hardly enough
men on hand to handle the four
streams, though that condition did not
last long. The fire spread to the third
floor rooms and got down into the ware
house on the ground flcor under the
»%mp!'y, in which was stored a large
