more on one side, was hemmed in by the ruins Of t
cotton sheds, and the remains Of the cotton, hi
tra smoudering in Goals and ashes and there smoki

tenements There were a number of substantial a
valuable buildings destroyed; among them, the
residence OF Mr. Benedict clerk of the Cotton Pre-
the twostory brick residence of Mr.. Miller, on Ca
calvo street; the twostory brick grocery and cof
lofo he of GnSapa1vn and MONtaUut.
