BIG FIRE AT
OCHLOCKNEE.
Many Business Houses
Destroyed By
Flames.
Fire which originated in thf
store of C. I. & R. P. Groover
about 2 o’clock Sunday morning
looked for a time as if it would
destroy the entire village. The
following buildings were burned:
City Barber Shop.
W. H. Calhoun, general mer
chandise.
L. R. Sills, general merchan¬
dise.
C. I & R• P. Grover, groceries.
W. s. Bulloch, feed store.
Four warehouses.
Town court house and jail.
W. S. Bullock was the only
looser by the fire who carried any
insurance.
The buildiiOl were all frame
mmw '""-- 1 1 ^
our’s time
For awhile it seemed that it
would be impossible to save the
Atlantic Coast Line depot and a
store belonging to J. L. Beverly,
of Thomasville, caught several
times, but the volunteer bucket
brigade by hard work and brave
fighting saved both these struc¬
tures. But for the good fight
put up by the volunteer fireman
much more damage would have
been done.
The origin of the fire is un¬
known but is supposed to have
originated from"'a cigar stump
dropped by some one at an oyster
supper held in one of the build¬
ings the night before.

stein denies that ai Ugo<ds
are second-hand, h lad j adv -r
tised his sale extensively as a
railroad-wreck sale, and one of
the allegations of the petition was
that this was a misrepresentation,
as the goods had uever been in a
wreck. Certain it was, he was
selling goods cheap, and had a
throng in his store when the offi
cer appeared on the scene and
served the injunction.
Later an agreement was reached
by which Bluestein is to sell for
three days, under certain restric¬
tions, and after the three days
the sale will be permanently en
joiued.
The petitioners are represented
by Attorneys J. J. Hill, of Pel¬
ham, and J. D. McKenzie, of
Moultrie.

say Eighteen. A partial- list can
be ascertained by consulting our
announcement column.

A Card.
Once more I wish to extend to
the people of Pelham my heartfelt
thanks and sincere gratitude for
the many acts of kindness shown
Irene and the rest of us during
her long illness and since her
death.
It is hard to have to give up a
loved one, but the many flowers,
dainty dishes, offers of assistance,
kind words and other tokens of
remembrance go a long way to
help lessen one’s sorrow.
Her husband, brothers and my¬
self will always feel grateful for
the numerous tokens of sympathy
which have been shown us. It
matters not in what section my
future may be spent, I shall never
cease to feel grateful for the-many
tokens of kindness shown by nu
morous Pelham friends
Yours sincerely,
H. M. MITCHELL.
