heads Of sweet hurley wrappers aud
filters were offered. but when placed on
the breaks they elected active and
spirited bidding. Medium and common

James =. Satterwhite. who lives few /
miles from town, had one Of his pack /
houses. containing about thirteen barns /

Much of his b.st tobacco was stored /
away in it. all Of which is a total loss. /
he had no insurance. The origin OF The /
ire is unknown. TIE theory is that
there must have been some Goals OF fire /
in a blanket or bed quilt that had been /
used about one Of the curing barns. and .

the pack house that night. no cause is .
assigned why any person should nave .
