She had no fire In the house during the day, and the fire started beneath the house and ran up between the weather hoarding and the plastering to the attic. This created a flue and the house was burnt to the ground in a few minute*. Chief Reynolds said "I give credit to the statement of the Pettus wo man, because she said that several parties wanted the house but she se cured It. She Is an Ignorant woman and the way she described the fire It must have been of incendiary orl- I gin." The houses were occupied by Callle Pettus. Edwin Hill and Casso Spence. The damage was about .$ 1,40 ft. The houses belonged to the Harper es tate. $ 1 • o o o No. 1.150, $7.50 1-4 Off the Regular Price REMEMBER ALL GOODS MARKED IN PI,AIN FIGURES—ONE PRICE TO ALL.
