Mvr. D. J. Williams on the corner
of Rallvoed, Slosmors Anfl Cem:
etery streets, was destroyed by
fire on Sunday morning last
between 2 and 3 o'clock.
It was a two-story building,
and the fire started from the up
per story. It was said by some
of those who first arrival on the
scene, that the door on the north
side of the building was found
open. There was a blacksmith
shop, adjoining this store-house
which was also-burnt,. ' |
Mr, Williams had abouta $2500
stoclt of general merchandise in
the house which went up in
smoke, too. The fire had made
too great headway when the
people began to arrvive to save.
anything: .
Luckily for Myr. Williams he
had traded this building to the
colored Masons of this p lace for
the old colored Masonic Lodge
which is situated nearver to the
business portion of the town.
Besides, he had some insurance
on his stock of goods, but how
much, we have failed to learn. So
it seems like the colored Masons
are the worge loosers by this
fire. It was their intention to
use the second story for a lodge
room.
A Sad Death.
Since Thursday morning last
there has been nothing but gloom
and sadness at the once happy
and hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Herrington's, which is
gituated about seven miles south
of Hazlenurst. The cause of
this sorrowing was the sudden
and agonizing death of their be
loved daughter, Miss Maud.
Thursday morning she was in
the yard, near & -wash-pot that
had a big fire under it, and some
how her dress caught on fire,
which burned rapidly, and before
assistance'could get to her she
was wrapped in one large blaze.
All of her clothing were burnt off
of her.
She lived until that night, and
bore her awfulsuffering heroic.y.
She told her mother before she
died, that she bated to goand
loave them, but if it was God's
wiil, she would bow submissive
ly to it.
" The remains were buried at
Zorah church Friday.
The News joins in with scores
of friends in offering condolence
to this bereaved family.
The prettist and best line of
jewelry ever seen in this town
before, is at the Peoples Drug
Store. Boys, thereis na need to
