I a disastrous tire would have resulted,
but by their efforts the blaze was eon-

$4,000.
Bonner’s stock was slightly damaged
by water, fully covered by Insurance.
About dusk the same evening an
alarm was turned in supposed to be
from tire oil miff. After a ruu to the
mill, the lire company heard the tire
was at P. A, Bowden’s residence.
This also proved to be a false alarm, the
excitement being caused by a chimney
on the residence of Mr. Barnes on
White Oak street.
