FIRES.
INC sunday Mornll,g Fire.


A fire occurred In the third story of
the Cooke block ON franklin street
Sunday morning that threatened
very disastrous effects, bat was soon
subdued by the energy aud efficien-
cy of our fire brigade.
The fire was discovered by smoke
coming from the third story win
dows In tho centre OF the building
about 8 o'clock "A. n. al that hour
the mails are opened and quite q
number OF men had congregated
about the poSt-office. This was
fortunate circumstance, as assistance
would not otherwise have been SO
ready at hand.
The fire department got prompt
ly to work and soon ha1 three or
four heavy streams of water pour.
ing in on the flames. For n volun-
teer force our firemen are unexcell-
ed. They did their work In good
style. and the rapidly spreading
flames we've soon extinguished.
A considerable hole was burned
in the floor and ceiling Of the third
story. where the fire seems to have
originated, and in the ceiling of the
second story. Mr.. Cooke, the own
er OF the building, estimates his
damage at something over 81, 200.
The Democrat newspaper and job
Office, which occupied the second
floor, suffered a slight loss from
damage by water to its stock of sta
tionery.
The origin OF the fire can only
be surmised. The third floor was
the lodge room of Hebron Lodge,
Of cOlOred Odd-fellOws.
1t is also said that a colored Ma
sonic Lodge meets there. The reg
ular session of the Odd Fellows was
held Thursday night. They deny |
that any of their members had been |
there since that time, but say the
Masons were there Saturday night.
Be that as it may, several white
gentlemen saw light in the room
night. 1t is probable that
dropped a lighted cigar
stump into one of the wooden spit
tOons filed with saw-dust, with
which the room was furnished, and
1t smOuldered there until morning,
when the fire broke out. The re-
mains of a lamp were found In the
burnt portion of the room, and one
theory is that it was carelessly left
the night before and the
fire originated from some accident
10 the lamp.

Poplar snring stock show.

The farmers OF district No. 9 In
this county, and of the adjoining
districts OF Stewart county, have or
ganixed what Il styled the Munt-
gomery and Stewart Cpunty Agri-
cultural Association. They are y
live set of farmers In that section
and fully abreast with the spirit of
progress that IL now ri e among the
tillers OF the soil.
The Association had lis first stock
show at Poplar springs last Satur-
day. We much regret that circum-
stances prevented CHRONICLE
representative from being present.
as we learn that the show MAS a
great success and that the enjoyable
addendum, big dinner, was spread
by the ht,spitable people of that Sec
ticn.
The display, we have been inform
ed. consisted principally of cattle,
horses and jack stock. OF the first
mentioned there were some very
fine short-horn bulls and graded
cattle of other breeds. Several
stations and jacks are said to have
been as fine as could have been
found anywhere.
There was no display Of hogs and
sheep, but our informant insures us
that such animals are grown in that
section. He found out rs much
from the bountiful barbecue that
was served.
We hope the Association may
grow In strength and give finer
stock exhibits and bigger dinners
every year. We hope to be on hand
at the next one. Farmers every
where should form these Associa-
tons. They will greatly benefit
the agricultural interests and the
country in general.

Mr.. KiIgore,s Residence.

The third fire of the week occur
ed Friday morning at o'clock at
the cottage occupied by Mr.. T. V.
Kilgore on Franklin street between
the public school building and
Carlisle's mill. Mr.. KilgOre and
family were away from home and
his brother, young gentleman, was
the sole occupant of the house
at the time. He is unable to account
for its origin, but thinks it caught
from a fiue. Sears Major Esq, who
was at his home a short distance
away, was among the first to dis
cover the fire. He says the first
thing he saw was a small blaze
coming out of the roof.
The root was all aflame when the
firemen got to work. Two streams of
water were turned on it and it was
quickly extinguished. The fire
King don't have any showing at all
if the GAINESVILLE tiremen get any
chance at him. The roof of the
house is entirely destroyed and the
whole interior badly damaged. The
body of the building Is not injured.
All OF the household goods were re-
moved and are not hurt except,
probably, from breakage and rough
usage.
The house was the property Of the
Harrison heirs, both building and
contents were fully insured.
