AN OLD LANDMARK BURNED.

Fire Destroys the Store and Stock of
Colonel J. s. Cunningham.
Col. John $. Cunningham, who came
to Raleigh Sunday to attend Il meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
State Fair. was startled at the receipt
of telegram early yesterday morning,
conveying the sad intelligence of the dis
truction by fire at ; o'clock Monday
morning of his store house and stock of
goods. at his home at Cunningham, Per
son county The origin of the fire is un-
known. it started in the basement of the
store and only the books and important
papers were saved, the building
and stock being consumed.
This was one of the oldest If not
the Oldest store house in the State, and
perhaps the only business house i'll the
State which has been continuously open
for business by one family for more
Ethan century. The building was erect
cd by Colonel Cunningham's grandfath-
or in 1895. who conducted business in it
successfully and continuously until 1871.
1t then passed into the hands of the late
John w. Cunningham, father of Colonel
John $. Cunningham, who conducted the
business until 1887, since which time 1t
has been owned and managed by Col.
John S. Cunningham. So the business
has been steadily maintained in one
family for one, hundred and three years.
The building itself with its prestige
and associations was very near to
Colonel Cunningham. aside from any
pecuniary value attached to it. and
the loss is more than can be calculated
| in dollars and cents inasmuch as it con
tanned the books and accounts of IA
century of successful and interesting
mercantile business.
Colonel Cunningham had both the
building and stock of goods partially
covered by Insurance. but could not give
