here about o'clork this morning in the liV-
cry stable of Davis & Adams. 1t spread With
grest rspidity, and it seemed at one time az
though the whole town would be destroyed.
A bigh wind was blowing at the time, and
the 1smes spread rapidly until the whole
block between Sixth and Main streets on
Limestone street was involved. 1t then took
IN the bsuses on the other side Of Limestone
street, spread along Short street, and burned
through houses on Main street.
The fire department worked we'll. AS there
was but one engine, its work was notvery
