BIG FIRE IN
BLACKSBURG
Seven Buildings burn
Down in Short Time.

On last Friday afternoon fire broke
out in Blacksburg, a suburb OF North
Tazewell, and destroyed six dwelling
houses and the church, before the
flames could be checked. The village
is inhabited exclusively by colored
people, and ut the time of the fire.
about 4 o'clock, only the women and
children were at home-the men all
being away at work.
Those who lost their homes were:
Ellen Cecil, Miles Cecil, Alb. Thompson.
Reese Bandy, Anderson Trent and
Dick Mitchell. Not one OF the houses
was insured. The Methodist church
which was burned, was insured in the
sum of $4,000.
A very high wind was blowing at
the time, and the houses being all light
framed structures, the spead Of the
flames was terrific. and nothing scarce
ly saved. The colored people suffered
great loss, but the citizens of the en-
tire community have been generous in
helping them, and they will all re.
build.

THAT GREAT BRITAIN HAS
A FIGHTING CHANCE.

London Sept 3.-The arguments OF

and fixing a date for hearing the oral
arguments, though it is possible that
application relative to matters con
