Ga Tuesday night an alarm of fire
was given and it was soon known that
the home of Mr. John Cridge, situat-
ed in the southwestern part of the
city, was burning. All efforts to ex-
tinguish the fire proved futile aud the
house and its contents were totally
destroyed. The cause of the fire is
unknown, as no one was in the house
when it broke out. The loss falls
very heavily upon the family, as it
leaves them not only without a home,
but without household goods of any
kind. Mr.. and Mrs. Cridge are in
dustrious and thrifty, and Mr.. Cridge |
was at work for the zine company
when the fire occurred.
