WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GEORGIA
Barn and Contents
Destroyed by Fire
On last Sunday night the out
buildings on the farm of Mr. Jno.
B. Clements, who lives near
Towns, in this county, three in
number, were burned- In these
buildings was stored four bales
।of cotton and fifty bales of hay,
| which were also consumed by the
1 flames. Neighbors who were at
j tracted by the fire rushed to the
! scene, but the fire had gained
such headway until nothing could
be saved. The origin of the fire
is unknown, and as no insurance
was carried by Mr. Clements on
these buildings, the loss fills
quite heavily.

ing in the Erick district, announce his

In the list of the many changes of

time a resident of this place, has
I bought a beautiful home in that city
I and he and Mrs. McLennan will shortly
move into it. When Capt. McLennan
sold his home over here, it was thought
that he would only make Mcßae his
temporary home, but it now looks as
if he intends making it his permanent
home and force us to be contented with
only an occasional visit from him and
his estimable wife.
