Disastrous Fire.
Monday nigbt, or rather Tu-s
--day morning about 2:20 o'clock,
flames wote disc vered in filestore
of Mr. Joe Toole and before they
couln be subdued they broke
through into the store of Mr. J.E.
Sl’ola. - ,
The * Volunteer Firemen” soon
had the flames under Control after
the alarm was given, but the fire
and stir ke bad wrought much
damage and the water turned it.
full force in the front and back
doors while extinguishing the
fl mes inji.r d much merchandise
in the tvo burning stores.
A rough estimate of the amount
of merchandise in the store of Mr.
Toole places the yalue of it at
abo it SBOOOOO.
Fie carried on the goods a
§ tOtXO.OO insurance.
On the two store buildings, the
one occupied by Mr. Sholar and
the other by himself he carried
S4OOO 00.
Mr. Sholar estimates the loss he
sustained through the flames at
about $1500.00,
He did not carry any insuianoe.
He hitd been frugal and indus
trious and be had established a
n’ - e business. The loss at thi.~
season of the year falls heavy on
him, and he and his family have
the sympathy of all who know
them in their loss.
Mr. Sholar has moved down in
the galvanized iron building just
e ist of his store and is still selling
groceries. His bottling plant be
hopes to have >n operation within
a few days.

to chronicle a tire in Colquitt, but

AVe continue'to find ourselves
standing like one bewildered.
Being a woman tile writer’s
opinion of the origin of the fire
may not be correct, but this is
‘.rue, the store had teen robbed
after the editor closed, and those
who reached the burning struc

Held Funeral of
Mr. J. H. Pierce.
The funeral services of Mr.
John H. Pierce, Confederate vet
eran and a highly respected citi

curred at his residence on the The
Hill Tuesday mornir.g, after an
illness of two months, were con

terday morning by Rev. R. \V.
Thiol, pastor of Curtis Baptist
Church, at 10 o’clock. The inter
ment was in the Abbeline Church
Cemetery, about nine miles Iron
Augusta, Mr. Pierce was 71
years of age at the time of his
death.
Members of Camp 435, United

judge of the value of merchandise)
