About half passed three o’clock

in the store of G. W. McCormick

covered by Mr. C. E. Griner, who

and he immediately gave the
alarm.
Hose Company A. of which Dr.
D. A. Spence is Captain respond
ed, and soon had a couple of
streams playing on the blaze.
Practically all the goods in the
store were scorched, and some of
them badly burned. The build¬
ing and goods were flooded with
water, probably more damage
being done by water than by fire.
It is stated that the loss is
fully covered by insurance which
was carried with the Pelham In¬
surance Agency. If the fire had
not been discovered as it was in
its early stages, it would have
proved a disastrous confiagru
tion. The quick work of the
fire department saved many
thousand dollars worth of prop¬
erty.

nothing but home boys which
won the honors of South Georgia,

Alabama, was the only team that
was ever backed by the citizens
Pelham with the understand¬
ing that they play nothing but
home talent, which they
and won for Pelham an hon¬
